With summer upon us I’m in the mood for a new Shakespeare t-shirt. I’ve got my “Mercutio Drew First!” as well as a blue one that’s just a big picture of Shakespeare rolling his eyes (a variant of Droeshout), but I can’t be the guy who shows up to events always in one of those two shirts. 🙂 Looking for ideas.
What sort of Shakespeare stuff have you got? I know I said “wearing”, but subject lines are everything :). I’ll open it up to hats, beach bags… anything that’s got something Shakespeare in it, that you might be flaunting at the beach or on vacation. Books don’t count :).
I finally treated myself to a 'Shakespeare is my Homeboy' shirt. I've often imagined creating a secret handshake with Willy Shakes while we strut.
I got the "Shakespeare Hates Your Emo Poems" tee-shirt from threadless.com.
Ours are:
* "Shakes-beer: Think Responsibly"
* Shakespeare grinning lasciviously with the caption "Who's Thy Daddy?"
* "Shakespeare: Tastes Like Chicken"
(with WS on a bucket of chicken a la the Colonel, and the subline 'A Secret Blend of Verbs and Vices')
* A punked-out bard, with the slogan "B-B-Bard To The Bone"
This makes me think we should have these designs up on Zazzle or Cafepress too. We might sell a few outside to the odd Shakespeare geek online.
Our show shirts this year have a great As You Like It quote on the front: "I am not a slut, though I thank the gods I am foul." They're selling like hotcakes! http://www.museoffire.webs.com
To Muse of Fire: Excellent. I love it!
