Dark Side - 2020/02/12 - Matteo's T-shirt A Day
Matteo shows off a Darth Vader long sleeve t-shirt and teases what is to come in May.
This is a soft long-sleeve t-shirt featuring a Darth Vader (Dark Side) inspired helmet on the front.
I’ll be doing a whole month of Star Wars t-shirts in May, so get ready…
Gojira - 2020/02/11 - Matteo's T-shirt A Day
Godzilla, the king of monsters.
Gojira! Godzilla! The king of monsters. Also where I have spent a lot of time (in JIRA, the Atlassian tool).
This t-shirt is another one from Qwertee, which was a limited edition one. Check out Qwertee to see if you can find something else on theme: https://www.qwertee.com/r/249cd838c1 (referral link).
Giant's Milk - 2020/02/10 - Matteo's T-shirt A Day
Giant’s Milk! That’s whyb Matteo is so strong…
Today was a full throttle one as I prepare to go on holiday on Thursday. How do I do it? Giant’s milk…
OK, no, I don’t drink giant’s milk, but this t-shirt makes me chuckle.
For more context you should probably watch or read Game of Thrones George R. R. Martin's series of fantasy novels adapted for TV by HBO.

Hollister 1922 California Surf Team - 2020/02/03 - Matteo's T-shirt A Day
In the run up to his vacation to California, Matteo is wearing a t-shirt from a faux-Californian brand.
California, next week. We can’t wait until our next vacation (flying KLM obviously). In the run up I’m wearing my Hollister t-shirts and setting up for tomorrow’s orange t-shirt by wearing this one.
Hollister Co. California Surf Team 1922.
Hollister as a brand is part of Abercrombie & Fitch, which as a business has had to reorganise and reinvent itself in the last few years. Here is an interesting CNBC video about what they have been going through.
Nothing To Declare... - 2020/01/28 - Matteo's T-shirt A Day
It is a day for quotes. The t-shirt with Oscar Wilde, Matteo with Indiana Jones.
“It’s not the years honey,it’s the mileage.” Henry Jones, 1936.
This t-shirt is now 20 years old. I am sure of this because it is my birthday today and this was a gift from my parents on my 18th birthday. It’s safe to say that this t-shirt has not only seen many years, but quite a lot of use and mileage.
The quote on the front is one attributed to Oscar Wilde at New York Customs when he visited the United States in January 1882.
“I have nothing to declare except my genius.” Oscar Wilde, New York Customs, January 1882.
“I have nothing to declare except my genius.” Oscar Wilde, New York Customs, January 1882. Interestingly, I was born 100 years later in January 1982.
This t-shirt was from a chain of UK stores called Past Times (which has since gone into administration and disappeared).
As is clear in the photograph of me wearing the t-shirt, there in’t much of it left due to wear and tear. I still do wear it from time to time under a shirt, but it has past the point of being worn out in the open.
When I do the holographic version of t-shirt a day in 2040, this t-shirt is likely to be featured on January 28th again.
Don't Tread on My Internet - 2020/01/08 - Matteo's T-shirt A Day
A relic from a protest of a bygone era: “Don’t Tread On My Internet”
The “Don’t Tread On My Internet” t-shirt is one from late 2011 and the protests against proposed SOPA and PIPA legislation that would have broken the internet.
Don’t Tread On My Internet
I like this design, as it is a riff on the Gadsden flag, replacing the snake head with an RJ45 connector.

While SOPA and PIPA did not become legislation, many similar threats are still proposed by many entities wanting to limit/break the internet as we know it.
Qwertee Pocket Tee - 2020/01/04 - Matteo's T-shirt A Day
Matteo introduces us to Qwertee, one of the sources of many tee designs in MAtteo’s T-shirt A Day in 2020.
This my Qwertee pocket t-shirt and the introduction to Qwertee, a website I spend a lot of pocket money on (pun very much intended).
During Matteo’s T-shirt A Day in 2020 quite a few t-shirts will be from Qwertee. I like the puntastic tee designs they sell and their newsletter marketing works really, really well. Whenever a Qwertee design I wear is still available I’ll try and link to it.
For now have a shop around here: https://www.qwertee.com/r/249cd838c1 (referral link).
