In our series of random blog posts, I thought I would take a look at the world of sheds and how they are applied to t-shirts. Whilst searching on Google for “sheds t-shirts”, I found a surprising amount of results! It just shows how much people love t-shirts and how they like to express their personality and interests through their t-shirt. There are as many different t-shirt designs as there are interests that people can have!
Here are some interesting shed based t-shirt designs on Zazzle:
"What Happens in the Shed Stays in the Shed"
"Head Shed"
Not sure what that second one is about!
Have you found any other t-shirt designs that are based around things that you might have thought people wouldn’t have put on a t-shirt?!
I thought that I would highlight one of our most popular and inspiration t-shirts: Funny Presidents.
This design was a winner in one of our competitions and I've always been a big fan. The use of these leaders and the Joker make-up is quite superb as is are the illustrations of them!
Bit of a random blog post here but thought it worth mentioning this t-shirt again. More blog posts to come shortly!
In the last year or so, there have been websites springing up in which people offer to advertise something through their t-shirt such as this guy. What happens is that they spread the word that they will advertise something in this way with the hope that advertisers will come on board and sign up. Most of them advertise one business/product/service per day and the price goes up throughout the year. I would assume the benefit in this pricing structure is that the expensive days later in the year benefit from the increased amount of marketing that happens over time.
The main question that has to be asked is does this form of outdoor advertising work? Is it a form of outdoor advertising or does most of the marketing come via other means than the actual t-shirt such as the person running this advertising scheme such as their website, Twitter account and various other social media portals.
What do you all think of this form of t-shirt advertising?

Quite possible the greatest ever rock band, Zeppelin, have recently announced that they are going to perform a one-off, reunion gig at the Millenium Dome in London. As its a one-off gig at a 20,000 capcity venue, they probably thought they could charge whatever they wanted and that's just what they have done!! £125 is apparently what will get you a ticket to the gig (assuming you are lucky enough to be allocated a ticket). Let's hope they'll be giving all profits to charity, hey?!
Will you be trying to get a ticket?
The music and pop culture blog site, Lighthearted Boy, recently made our I Love R n R its t-shirt of the day and we would like to say thanks and congrats on an excellent site that promotes a worthwhile cause which is free and legal music downloads
The beauty of a t-shirt slogan is that it allows people to be creative and come up with something that has never been done before. It can also mean different things to different people and is a brilliant way of making a statement, be it religious, political or just plain funny!
A google search of "greatest t-shirt slogan ever" returns as its number one result a page which has a t-shirt slogan that reads "Communism has only killed 100 million people - let's give it another chance!". We reckon there must be lots of much better ones than that!!
We were talking about t-shirt slogans and we were wondering what everyone thinks is the greatest t-shirt slogan ever made. Due to the often ambiguous nature of t-shirt slogans, we would like you to post what your favourite slogan actually means or represents to you! The slogan has to have been sold somewhere or actually worn by someone at some point!
Here is the design that won our recent t-shirt design contest that was based around the theme of music! It's called The Upper Ground Tradition and you can buy it now!!
Our friends, The Sketch, have again done us proud and worn our t-shirts at one of their recent gigs. This time, The Sketch proudly paraded their Bang Bang T-shirts at their gig at The Cecil Arms in Strood, Kent. We would again like to thank The Sketch for their support and we look forward to seeing them soon as a three piece band!

Ashford based band, The Sketch, recently kindly agreed to wear some Bang Bang T-shirts at their recent gigs at Ashford Rocks!. Bang Bang T-shirts attended the gig and have to say that The Sketch were awesome! During the week leading up to Ashford Rocks, they lost their bass player and had to work hard to practise their songs without bass, which, as you can imagine is pretty damn hard but the remaining band members, Mikee and Joe, managed it superbly! The crowd seemed to love the band (and the t-shirts!) and they sold plenty of their albums afterwards so it was a successful night!
Bang Bang T-shirts would like to thank The Sketch for wearing our t-shirts to both Ashford Rocks and their next gig which was at the Hare n Hounds in Maidstone. You can check out some pics from the two gigs below!
The Sketch have a Myspace page so go check them out!
Can you guess what t-shirts of ours The Sketch wear wearing?
