Tea For Tutu: New Funny T-Shirt Designs

July 7th, 2010

New T-Shirt Designs From RedMolotov.com

Our new t-shirts this week pay homage to the great and good of the media world. We figured that because we love the likes of Robert Peston, Evan Davis and Fiona Bruce so much, then why on earth would you not too? If the thoughts of Andrew Marr of Kate Silverton on your t-shirt don’t float your boat then we also have a new design by former young cartoonist of the year James Hood celebrating the greatest beards in World Cup history. Or how about matching “Pint” and “Half Pint” t-shirts? Or the Archbishop Desmond Tutu enjoying a cup of tea replete with “Tea for Tutu” slogan? Well, what’s not to like we ask???

#iagreewithnick – A Liberal Collection of T-Shirts

April 21st, 2010

New T-Shirt Designs From RedMolotov.com

We’ve gone all liberal this week with our latest range of unique t-shirts. Liberally covered with facial hair in the case of our t-shirt designs in support of the British Beard Club – currently six t-shirts designed by former Young Cartoonist of the Year James Hood. We’re also playing homage to the Liberal Democrat leader who has livened up this year’s election campaign and become (just what you want all your politicians to be) an Internet phenomenon in the process. If only we could remember his name…

A liberal dose of hallucinogenics was probably to blame for our latest Hunter S Thompson-inspired design: Bat Country. And, just to prove we can stretch a analogy to breaking point, we have a t-shirt for those whose sexuality is, well, liberal to say the least. We hope you like them all.

The British Beard Club: Bearded Lady T-Shirt

The British Beard Club: Bearded Lady T-Shirt Stella Fowley, 48, has decided to shun laser treatment and embrace her beard, thread veins and regrettable tattoos. Living proof that The British Beard Club does not discriminate, the 48-year-old mother of 11 said, “I decided to join the club when I found out how expensive laser treatment was.” Ms Fowley is also a budding drinker.

Nick Clegg: Vote Thingy T-Shirt

Nick Clegg: Vote Thingy T-Shirt “See, I really like the Lib Dems. What’s that you say? Their policies? Well, not so sure to be honest. But I am a big fan of their leader. You know, that young one with the nice hair. Erm… what’s his name again? Charles Kennedy! That’s it! Or was it Vince Cable?”

The British Beard Club: Verdi T-Shirt

The British Beard Club: Verdi T-Shirt Sporting the ‘Verdi’ style of beard, Wince Seething is one of the older members of the club. At 103, Wince has maintained the same style of beard for an impressive 94 years! So what does Mrs Seething say? “He’s An ill-tempered person full of resentment and stubborn notions.”

A**e/Elbow T-Shirt

Arse/Elbow T-Shirt A very handy diagram for anyone who doesn’t know which is which…. er…. oops.

The British Beard Club: Four Beards T-Shirt

The British Beard Club: Four Beards T-Shirt Nigel, Owen, Terry and Luca make up the Beard Club’s very own barbershop quartet. They practice every Wednesday and Friday and their favourite number is ‘California Love’. Would you believe that all four men work in offices with those beards?

We Can’t Stop Here, This Is Bat Country T-Shirt

We Can't Stop Here, This Is Bat Country T-Shirt Dr. Gonzo: Let’s give the boy a lift.
Raoul Duke: What? No. We can’t stop here. This is bat country.
In the style of Ralph Steadman, Hunter S Thompson’s illustrator, and featuring two spaced-out cats on a drug-fueled road-trip through Nevada.

The British Beard Club: Sikh T-Shirt

The British Beard Club: Sikh T-Shirt Here we have Mr Lalli-Patiala, a 49-year-old consultant from Reading. He is seen here in an extra large pink Gabicci polo shirt and gray slacks by George. For practical reasons, he twizzles his beard up and pops it into his turban. His favourite food? Fry’s Turkish Delight.

Perverted and Proud T-Shirt

Perverted and Proud T-Shirt A Ramones inspired logo featuring a whip and spanker, the BDSM symbol and the unabashed slogan “Perverted and Proud” round the edge. As suggested by our friendly neighbourhood dominatrix.

The British Beard Club: Beard Man T-Shirt

The British Beard Club: Beard Man T-Shirt Peter. The impossible dream of every ‘full natural’ beard grower.

Rodney “Plonker” T-Shirt

Rodney  Plonker  T-Shirt Peckham’s own Rodney Trotter. Resident “plonker” from the staggeringly brilliant Only Fools and Horses.

The British Beard Club: Badge T-Shirt

The British Beard Club: Badge T-Shirt The British Beard Club insignia. Just look at it.

#iagreewithnick T-Shirt

#iagreewithnick T-Shirt The cool and groovy Internet phenomenon that is Nick Clegg, intrepid leader of the Liberal Democrats. Probably the first major UK politician to become a geeky Twitter meme. The #iagreewithnick hashtag has suddenly become a tweeted staple and who are we not to jump on a bandwagon?

Election T-Shirts:

What better to wear to the polling booth on 6 May than a witty and original t-shirt confirming your political affiliation. Failing that, you could always wear one of ours:

Gordon Is A Moron T-Shirt What Would Clement Do T-Shirt Capitalism T-Shirt David Cameron Nosebleed T-Shirt Bleeding Heart Liberal T-Shirt

And of course, should yo ube one of the lucky ballot counters that evening, we would like to insist that you invest in one of our Josef Stalin: Count The Votes T-Shirts:

Josef Stalin Those Who Cast The Votes T-Shirt

New British Beard Club T-Shirts:

The British Beard Club was founded in 2008 to support and encourage bearded men, their families, their fans and those who have always had the desire to grow. We are delighted to bring you the club’s first collection of official merchandise that boasts a small array of some of the club’s delightful members.

The t-shirts have all been designed by James Hood. James is a cartoonist & illustrator who hit the beard scene in 2007, when he won second prize in the Garibaldi category of the World Beard and Moustache championships in Brighton. James’ simple but charming work has been used in advertising, publishing and online and he was voted The Young Cartoonist of the Year by The Cartoon Art Trust in both 2007 & 2008.
