Apple t-shirt: Doesn't Fall Far From the Tree
Quality shirts for Apple fans can sometimes be hard to find on the web. Call me crazy, but the standard-issue black "GEEK" shirts don't quite cut it for me; I hate black as a shirt color because it gets way too hot in the summer, and these kinds of designs are typically bland and uninteresting. Insanely Great Tees is a newer entry in this space, offering some clever and creative pro-Apple t-shirts. Panic, makers of apps like Transmit and CandyBar, also offers one of my favorite shirts in their Goods section called the Spinner (scroll down, I can't link to it directly. Grr). It's subtle Apple nerdery that will likely catch only the eyes of those who know what it is.
Fortunately, one of my favorite novelty shops, Go Ape Shirts, has just tossed their shirt into the ring (hah!) with this entry, Doesn't Fall Far From the Tree. You might also know their work from other hits like Boo Boo Walker. Sporting Apple products both old and new, Doesn't Fall Far From the Tree is a good tongue-in-cheek play on a phrase wrapped up in a cool design on a uniquely colored tee. With prices for guys and girls starting at $18, I might as well contact Josh, the shop's owner, to see if I can open a tab.

A Lisa and an Apple ///, but no original Mac or Apple //!?!?? What kind of nutcase designed this thing?*
*Meant in a good-natured way, of course.

Very painful to see both the older iMacs impaled right through their screens!

"Insanely Great" might have some nice designs, but their fulfillment/shipping/customer service is terrible. They got my order wrong and still haven't fixed it. It was impossible to get in contact with them. It's like they never anticipated a return. Amateurs. Do not recommend.

This looks like it is a bash on Apple, with their inability to be a sustainable company!

Billy K: With you 100%. They've got THREE iMacs and TWO tower PowerMacs, but no original all-in-one Macs, no Mac IIs, no Apple //s, no pizza box Macs, etc. Nice idea, but the artist seems to have left out about 15 years worth of Macs in the lineups there.

...while Panic doesn't need to feel their customers keep informed about t-shirt orders after almost 2 weeks (2-3 Businees days are a BIT shorter) crap...
