Yesterday, the OLP 1.6 Losers Shirts shop was finally opened to the public only three months after closing the Losers Shirts contest.

You´re invited to visit the chique boutique right here and get your piece of the OLP losers pie for a laughable fee of 13 EUR.

But be quick: there are not even 100 shirts out of 140 produced left in our stash.

Like any good international brand, Santa thinks global but acts local varying his customs to fit each countries needs. Find out why he was in Speradshirt Production spicing up orders the past few days.

I’ve been planning to start showing a lot more shirts here. Are there any particular print types, techniques, shirts or colours that you would like to know more about or see photo’s of? Power or Halogen reflex etc? I’ll make some shirts and show the results here. Alternatively if you’ve made a shirt add a photo to the comments or mail me adf (at) spreadshirt.net and I’ll show them here in a customers/partners creations area….

The new video for up and coming Just Jack’s “Glory Days” is packed with t-shirty goodness.  In the video Jack’s t-shirt changes along with the meaning of the lyrics. I count 69 different shirts.  Here’s how they did it.

Slate also takes on “zombie brands” - reinventing the un-cool brands of days of yore. Unearthing the brands that lie deep in our psyche seems too good to miss. Companies use the brand for a mash-up: “same name, different product”. Including: Tab Energy, Ford Taurus, Radar mag. And Vanity Fair, which has in the last decades come back with a vengeance (and just recently launched over here in Germany. You can listen to the article as a podcast.

Finally, the big break for air guitarists. CSiRO have invented a shirt with imbedded sensors that interpret your strumming on your tum into actual sounds. How does it work? The scientists* over at CSIRO found a way to “recognise and interpret arm movements and relay this wirelessly to a computer for audio generation”. You can even it do it tipsy: “There are no trailing cables to get in way or trip over”!

Is this a good thing or a bad thing? I thought the joy of air guitaring is that you got to imagine that you could sound like Twisted Sister, without having the actual “talent” of Twisted Sister. I’m sure there are many talented, talented air guitarists out there just waiting for this big break. But for me, I’d rather keep on projecting my talent, than actually be responsible for the sounds coming out. Although, I guess you can always turn down the volume.

* not rocket scientists, rockin’ scientists. get it? ha!**

a) Markus Hoppus (Blink 182, +44)

Also born on this day, the man who inspired this homage: “In response to all the questions about his eyes — They are crystaline blue - very striking in person. They do sparkle. They look flat in the photo. Trust me - they are not.” See those, in-real-life-three-dimensional eyes here.

We’re in the “even more official” Spreadshirt blog. At blog.spreadshirt.net. Starting, erm, now.

Dell is recalling lithium batteries with a tendency to explode.

In other retractions: Walmart pulls out of Germany, having a hard time competiting with the discount giants Aldi and Lidl -the question: does this mean that smaller, more widely distributed stores function better in Germany? Or will the new buyer, Metro’s brand fill larger discount stores?
