T-shirts are the uniform of choice in my home. Any kind of button up shirt that actually makes it to my boys' rooms is quickly relegated to the furthest corner of the closet, where it spends the majority of its life looking out, just hoping for a chance to make the cut and join the rotation of "comfortable" clothes. So anytime I get an offer to review a T-shirt company and try their merchandise, I jump at it.
Trevor from NerdyShirts contacted me a few weeks ago and asked me to check out their merchandise. So I did. The first thing I realized is that I must have a lot of nerdy friends because I am familiar with a lot of the subjects shown on those t-shirts! Who knew?!?
The second thing I realized is that I know a LOT about Star Trek and Star Wars and Comic Book guys. Most of this knowledge has been gleaned from time spent watching movies and cartoons with my husband and boys. They patiently explain the ins and outs and whos and whats for me. Which is cool. Because now I do not look like an idiot when someone asks me whether Batman was a Marvel or DC comic (Batman was DC). Not a lot of 47 year old moms have the capacity to discuss Star Wars or Green Lantern or X-men with any kind of intelligence. At least now I can fake it. NerdyShirts has so much comic and retro Star Trek kind of stuff that you would be hard pressed not to find something perfect for the comic geek or Trekkie in your life. My personal favorite among this genre is the Batman Old School Logo, although that Thor Costume shirt is kind of hilarious. NerdyShirts used to have a Wolverine Costume shirt too, but I think it must have sold out, which makes me extremely sad. I am actually caught in the middle of an epic Batman vs. Wolverine debate and I wanted to get t-shirts for friends on each side of the battle for Christmas. I am so bummed!
Anyway...Nerdyshirts has a large selection of designs to choose from, including references and characters from movies, video games, TV and internet. Anyone who loves pop culture will dig these shirts. A few of my favorites:
NerdyShirts was kind enough to send a shirt for each of my boys. Big Brother got a Bruce Lee shirt and Little Man loves his Iron Man Core shirt that glows in the dark. Both shirts are made with high quality fabric that holds its shape and color well. We had no bleeding colors in the wash and no flimsy, stretched out fabric after a few days of wear. The graphics have not cracked or peeled and the boys find the shirts very comfortable and easy to wear.
***Disclosure - I received 2 t-shirts from NerdyShirts in order to facilitate this review. My opinions are my own and my reviews reflect my own experiences with products I receive.***
