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.
Thomas the Tank Qwertee - 2020/01/20 - Matteo's T-shirt A Day
Thomas the Tank and Flygskam and musings about the European Army.
In the current climate of virtue signalling and flight shame, rail is often referred to as the solution for travel (if you don’t have a yacht). Thomas the Tank Engine is fashionable again among parents curating content for their younglings and that reminded me that I have a t-shirt which is close…
Thomas the Tank from Qwertee
Thomas the Tank is a marvellous mashup from Qwertee, where Thomas has a Robust Controller his the turret.
I’m starting to wonder if Germany will appropriate the Thomas der Panzer character for their new European Army thing since they can’t afford to stay part of NATO.
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).
Skyscanner Logo White - 2020/01/15 - Matteo's T-shirt A Day
While on a work trip Matteo shows off an old Skyscanner brand t-shirt.
In London for a work Skyscanner event, I thought I would wear the (old) brand for the day. This one is from late 2014/early 2015 after a brand refresh with some colour and logo size adjustments.

I know, I know: I haven’t been posting daily. Sadly life got in the way, but I commit to catching up and to start using the schedule function of our CMS where possible.
Skyscanner Human Evolution - 2020/01/14 - Matteo's T-shirt A Day
Matteo is travelling to London for a work event today, wearing a fun corporate t-shirt which depicts the human evolution to travel.
I’m travelling to London for a work event today. What better t-shirt to wear than one with a print which depicts the evolution of the human being to travel. This one is about 5 years old and features some older Skyscanner branding, but is still a classic in my view.
Full disclosure: Skyscanner is my current employer.
YouTube Dark Grey - 2020/01/05 - Matteo's T-shirt A Day
Matteo dons a YouTube t-shirt. The video sharing platform may not be perfect, but for better or for worse it is where the Tech Travel Geeks share their video content.
Today’s t-shirt is a YouTube one from Mountain View, California.
YouTube Dark Grey T-shirt
YouTube is the video sharing platform the Tech Travel Geeks have been on since mid-2018. The Tech Travel Geeks YouTube Channel has been growing steadily since we set it up and we have had fun making content. Our content mainly covers consumer electronics and gadgets which make the travel experience better. Interested? Why not watch some of our videos and subscribe!
While YouTube is a popular platform with many users and content creators, it is still far from perfect. As with many other places on the internet, it is a place people behave how they would not in real life. The admin functions and analytics need some serious improvements too.
Thanks to all who've reported this!

I've been locked out of my account for 6 days. I think this is due to an email migration performed by my publisher @futureplc – but YouTube has thus far been unresponsive (even with my Partner Manager on the case).@YTCreators, a little help? pic.twitter.com/vl08bZ1HNP
Even YouTube top creators like Michael Fisher don’t have the support they need sometimes. Michael is the Mr Mobile on YouTube. We thoroughly recommend his high quality, informative and entertaining videos. If you don’t already, go and subscribe to his channel as well and enjoy his excellent puns and Star Trek references.
For better or for worse, YouTube continues to be the best platform for creating and distributing content for the Tech Travel Geeks. 2019 was a great year for our growth, and we plan on making 2020 an even better year on YouTube.
