Gimme Shell-ter: 10 Turtle Tees

Last week it was sharks, this week it’s… turtles!

Some of these designs are clever; some of them are not. We’ll let you decide which is which. As always, click on the pics to link through.

1. Awwww shucks. This is like sickeningly cute…

So adorable it ~~merits~~ demands a closer inspection:

2. Huh? WTF? OMG!

3. By contrast, this is a real crowd-pleaser with a message we can all support. Bonus points for the creative interplay of message and glow-in-dark, screen-printing tech.

Demystified for the lay people out there:

4. Curious and deadly is always a combustible combination. That aside, I really appreciate the rich green-and-brown relief.

5. I suppose no list of Turtle tees would be complete without a TMNT entry. That said, does anyone else find this even remotely problematic?

This is a better alternative:

6. Selected for the punning title alone (”One Shell of a Time”)… but I do like the technique: images embedded within other images.

Once more, with feeling:

7. A nod to HBO’s Entourage and Turtle, a core member of said assemblage.

8. A loving survey of turtle archetypes from our friends at Tilteed, just one of many excellent Portland-based tee cos.

Presented here in tee form proper.

9. I like the pretty colors here; they are eerily reminiscent of M&M’s (the Easter edition) or perhaps, even more aptly, Reese’s Pieces (to this day, my favorite candy confection).
