Brooklyn Industries We Go Hard!

 Brooklyn Industries isn't your average t-shirt company -- they have expanded their market by not limiting their art to one canvas.  They set themselves apart from their competitors by offering an array of styles which can be accessorized with other items that can also be found on their website brooklynindustries.com

Their rapid success can bet attributed to their fourteen stores -- ten of which are split between Brooklyn and Manhattan and the others in major cities throughout the United States.  The company's style is a contemporary mix of quirky intelligence and fun.  Many of the shirts are a relaxed-style tee that is accompanied by a clever message.  I personally am a fan of this company because of its use of words on a t-shirt; although all the tees messages aren't serious there are many that have a great message!
The tee features is called Pigeon? 2 M it is best described as a: 
A tongue-in-cheek play on Rene Magritte's famous painting, The Treachery of Images using our Brooklyn Industries mascot - the pigeon instead of a pipe. (our tee says "this is not a pigeon" in French)
Tees are available in men's, women's and children's sizes. Very cool and worth it to check them out!

bLeecKeR tEEs: Long Island Tropical Paradise"

This t-shirt literally made me laugh out loud the first time I saw it, LOL, jk.  My friend from Long Island, aka Strong Island, aka the Tropical Paradise first introduced me to this cotton gem. 
I do not know much about bLeecKeR tEEs except that they make funny, clever tees.  Typically I am not one for these types of shirts, but this one is just on another level.

The description bLeecKeR gives Long Island Tropical Paradise is so priceless I will stick with their own words.  Here they are:
"I’ve never been to Long Island but from what I hear, it sounds amazing. The indigenous people often tell me of the endless beaches, tropical waters, and delicious bagels. This island paradise claims among its residents both Billy Joel and Bill O’Reilly. With such well known Bills calling it home, Long Island must surely be an incredible place. Perhaps one day I’ll retire to this tropical paradise, sit under the lush palm trees and let the sweet sounds of steel drums lull me off to sleep."

If you are from the island or are friends with someone from Long Island please buy this t-shirt.  The tee is light blue with green print and can be bought for only $8.99!  Every time I see the shirt it makes me laugh, so I hope it makes you laugh too.
