Nearly all my t-shirts have some kind of advertisement on them, whether for a city, university, band, or... let me look at the one I'm wearing... for a restaurant: Red Planet Diner of Sedona, Arizona. I don't even know if I've ever been to that restaurant. I've been to Sedona a few times, but the restaurant doesn't ring a bell, so obviously, it was nothing special if I did go there.
Some of the t-shirts were gifts. Some are for cities. The only cities I can say that I love are NY and Paris, yet I wear shirts from San Diego, Seattle, and a few others. Why am I advertising for them? I went to the University of Colorado, yet I have t-shirts from other universities. I'm a frickin' walking billboard, for craps sake!
I can't bring myself to throw them out because I'm cheap and they're perfectly good t-shirts. My favorite t-shirts right now are plain, Champion brand t-shirts of various colors. They don't say anything. They don't make any statement whatsoever. They're just t-shirts that fit well and are just the right weight for the summer. I'd like to retire all my t-shirts with advertisements and just wear the solid colored ones.
What got me thinking about this was, I went to the grocery store this evening to get a prescription filled for my wife, and one of the workers there made a comment about my Red Planet Diner t-shirt. I didn't feel like talking to her about my frickin' t-shirt or anything for that matter. I just wanted to get in and out of the store as quickly as possible. She was probably bored and just wanted to talk to someone. Who knows.
