Ask HN: good looking "nerdy" t-shirts?

26 pointsby rb2k_14 anni fa13 comments

Hey HN, soon it'll be summer again and I'd love to stock up on shirts. Are there any places on the web for "well designed" nerdy shirts? I'd love to show a bit of geek pride and look decent at the same time. A bit of good typography/design never hurt anyone :)

I'm looking for the usual software engineering / science / ... theme and if possible a bit more on the minimalistic side rather than full prints.

In my case, the price for shipping to Germany is a relatively big factor, but no need to let your suggestion influence that.

As an example: New Relic's "data nerd" shirts seemed to look pretty decent, but I think they don't ship them anymore.

My favorite are the Github shirts: http://shop.github.com/

There are also some incredible designs here: http://store.glennz.com/

We'll be setting up a store for some limited run t-shirts on (www.StartupThreads.com) and sending out shirts monthly at our subscription site (www.startupthreadsmonthly.com). If you have any t-shirt ideas, let us know!

Some mostly Apple related shirts here: http://www.insanelygreattees.com/

I'm partial to their "binary tree" shirt, myself.

Thanks for the link. Sadly, that's the kind of style I'd like to avoid. Big square prints, horrible color combinations :(

i love webcomic shirts. they don't appear particularly nerdy to random people you meet, but they'll identify you to other internet people, and you get to support the authors of indie web comics. it's win-win-win.
