Geek Apparel of the Week: Team Edward
 |
?My apologies, because I totally forgot who first sent me the link to the rather excellent Hijinks Ensure comic featuring this shirt, which led inevitably to the artist/creator getting flooded with demands for an actual shirt based on the design. Seriously, this Edward doesn’t sparkle, unless you count the time he got so drunk he vomited on himself in the street (I wouldn’t). $20 makes you an unofficial member of Team Olmos, a value by any measure. Still, I need someone to make my Team Jacob shirt, featuring Jacob from Lost, before the new season start. What nerdy t-shirt company will be the first to rise to the challenge?
