im liking the legs. not something you would usually see on a t-shirt, possibly because it only shows part of the picture.
Jack said | 29 December, 2007
Young and Restless, I’m like a day time drama.
This t speaks volumes, great conversation starter.
And mum will think I’m a fan of her fav soap - too funny!
Tim said | 29 December, 2007
OMG! The ‘Stop Collaborate and Listen’ shirt for sure! Especially with Van Ice coming out to Australia soon - but mostly just because it was such a seminal song in my life! I can totally do the whole song at karaoke (and do frequently) - bringing the roof down!!!
Mauro said | 31 December, 2007
No doubt…my choice is the white “young lovers never die” which kind of reminds of Rod Stewart’s “Young hearts be free tonight! time is on your side”.
Loving it!
Cheers from Buenos Aires.
Shea said | 31 December, 2007
Young Lovers Never Die! It couldn’t be more true and being a young lover I need a t-shirt that represents that. A solid brand with plenty of good t-shirts. I would really appreciate having one of their shirts.
Lost at E Minor… you are the best.
Chris said | 31 December, 2007
The Degrassi Class of ‘88, especially in that fantastic yellow hue was my favorite… but alas, sold out. Luckily those aussies have a great selection of tees! I need to get my hands on the Diamond Burger one - the caption below the photo says it all. It’s perfect and a really interesting image. And it’s shiny.

a black cat eating licourice at midnight!!! its just great it reminds me of my grand mothers room in mexico, it used to have big black rococo furniture and i was really scared of going inside because it used to be sooo dark but i would do it any ways just to smell my grandmothers scarfs, and to look inside her drawers, i would always find great pictures like the one of the black cat eating licourice at midnight! it was her big treasure and this would be mine!

Artur said | 3 January, 2008
the “Collaborate and Listen” tee has a strong social message and “ice, ice, baby, to go” starts to play in my head.
but my fav is the “Black Cat at Midnight”. Reminds me of “The Six Bullerby Children” by Astrid Lindgren. Really a wonderful read, at least in childhood (: I recall a scene from the book, where children argue whats the darkest thing in the world and comes out its “black man eating blueberries in a dark room”.
I wonder do they silkscreen their tees..?
keepitup!
Ubeekuitee said | 5 January, 2008
Hu Let’s say i could wear all of them but not at the same time…
Happy New Year
B Safe and Take care !!!
sunshine said | 5 January, 2008
i like the keytar t-shirt. i’ve always wanted to have a keytar, from watching all those ’80s synthpoppers on Video Hit Parade, so it’s the closest thing that i can get to owning (and playing) one!
Heather said | 7 January, 2008
Oh, man! Picking only one has proven itself to be extremely difficult. I think if I were to choose one, I’d choose the yellow Diamond Burger. Wait. Agh, the Keytar? Because, I mean, I play the Keytar when I’m at my friend’s house. What could be cooler than playing the keytar while wearing a shirt of someone playing the keytar? I really don’t know the answer to that one. Ah! Or the pirate king shirt?! Everyone I know is obsessed my pirates. Or ninjas. If I got that shirt, pirates would most definitely win the age old war.
Gosh. Okay. Final choice?
… Keytar.
meryl said | 8 January, 2008
yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes……
nik riviera said | 8 January, 2008
i’d have to say you already have the best taste - the stop, collaborate and listen tee is hands and knees above the rest. esp the one that starts purplishious! and keep up the good work ye young lovers
Tom said | 8 January, 2008
I have to have the Vanilla Ice quote in Black/Blue - when this song comes on in parties I search the room for people with the same memories of sitting with the tape inlay learning the lyrics as a 9 year old.. If I have the shirt I won’t even need the music, I’ll just proudly wear the shirt in Cardiff on a Saturday afternoon, and find my perfect companion

Young Lovers Never Die……to snuggle my nipples under and remind me of him brushing against them - young lovers never die tis oh do tragically true.

i’d go for the “organ donors.” As a med student I could bust it out at opportune times to educate patients or colleagues and show them what exactly is going down for different maladies. “Sooo, as you can see indicated by this Swell Tshirt from younglovers.com.au, hypertrophy is occurring in the right ventricle of the heart. This is most likely caused by regurgitation of the pulmonary valve or perhaps increased pre-load as indicated by peripheral edema and also causing an enlarged right atrium. Eventually this condition will manifest with cardiac remodeling and ventricular arrhythmias (gulp), so take care of yourself”.
Ah, it will change lives and we will be all the wiser.
matt said | 8 January, 2008
Organ Donor, a great twist on the iconic skeleton t-shirts. The color schemes are great!
Nik said | 8 January, 2008
Ohhhh what I would do for one of those shirts …
Killer killer!
Bob said | 8 January, 2008
Gotta go with the diamond burger in white– at first I was drawn to the yellow, but I like my diamonds pristine and white. What don’t I love about it? Those great sparkle lines shooting out of the burger, the newsprint-ish textures of the detail view, the way the white and purple diamonds stand in for white and purple onions in your typical delicious advertised cheeseburger… fantastic design. I just want to reach in and bite it. Without hurting my teeth, somehow.
Chris said | 8 January, 2008
I’m feelin’ the Stop Collaborate and Listen. It’s straight to the point and its colorful. Good shirt for parties because I could break into the room and yell “STOP!” and everyone would look at me and then i’d be like “collaborate and listen” and they would see the shirt and know whats up.
Peace!
ghz said | 8 January, 2008
young and restless tee looks exactly like me: young and restless.

“stop, collaborate and listen” Grew up on the ice. Well, the single serving Ice. But one chunk of fearless bling was enough for a decade for sure… and rocking the retro lyric call out fits nice in the monkey’s closet. folded next to the ORIGINAL not re-issue “FRANKIE SAY RELAX” Katharine Hamnet tshirt that i bought on Canal back in the day.
M said | 9 January, 2008
young and the restless. cause i’m young. and restless
chris said | 9 January, 2008
a black cat eating licorice at midnight, without a doubt
it is certainly the kind of shirt that would have strangers stopping me on the street as they ‘try to see it’
headphonaught said | 9 January, 2008
Hey there… I’d love the “Stop, collaborate and listen” tee… because I believe if everyone stopped, listened and worked together… this world would be a far sweeter place.
Justin said | 9 January, 2008
The digestive system illuminated! Now all of my friends can understand why I am a biology major! This shirt will help to complete my anatomically exact t-shirt collection currently consisting of: meiosis, lymphatic system, major bones of the body, and parts of the brain. And with style, this shirt will speak to my professors and help me receive a little help when it comes to listing where the liver is in relation to the small intestine during my exams!

The “LOVERS” love what the lovers make / When we make love, the “LOVERS” says: / “I can’t love forever, and you’d try to understand” / And I would like to tell him: “I think it too… but let’s try to make”
-That’s my choice… and other things in life does’nt matter -
Thom Wong said | 9 January, 2008
The answer, clearly, is keytar. What can a keytar give you? What can it NOT give you. The keytar is the perfect blending of industrial and organic - is it any coincidence that it happens to be shaped like a key itself? No, it is not. It is on purpose.
Oh keytar, how nobly you straddle the gap between Moog and Fender. I salute thee.
Dom said | 9 January, 2008
Is it a- “Brand New Addition?” I like it.
Could see myself making people dance,
My answer would be the Y&R T-shirt. That’s what I was. That’s what the T-shirt is.
Andrew said | 9 January, 2008
Definitely the “Stop, Collaborate and Listen” tee. Love the colors on it, as well as the vanilla ice reference!
CITIZENDANGERX said | 9 January, 2008
All of those tees are freaking amazing!
I love the organ donor tee because it reminds me of Slim Goodbody. Anybody remember him? He wore that totally creepy unitard with drawings of organs on it. You can check it out at slimgoodbody.com
My personal favoritest favorite however is the Keytar. I used to have a keytar! OMG!
It would be so boss to have that one.
Ali said | 9 January, 2008
I love them all! I’m going to have to land on Stop, Collaborate and Listen, but the Pirate King and Lovers and Crowned Ghost and Diamond Burger and wonderful! i love the colors and the line break on vanilla ice, but also the sneaky YL/milton glaseryness/scribblyness on the others!
Mike said | 9 January, 2008
I would definitely go with the PIRATE KING. I work near the superstar strolled area of Robertson Blvd, West Hollywood (home of TMZ and PEREZ HILTON). I’d love to show the pretentious shops around here that the world does not revolve around Kitson!
Very cool designs Young Lovers! Keep it up.
Ana Benaroya said | 9 January, 2008
The Pirate King! Classic image with a new twist….and not cliched. It would be amazing to have this shirt because as an artist myself, i’m always looking for new inspiration and this collection of shirts really excites me. Owning the pirate king would be a constant reminder!
mikko fong said | 9 January, 2008
Crowned ghost. add a touch of quirky element . I like to have a ghost living in my wardrobe. Stay in there and cut away my crappy tees.
julia said | 9 January, 2008
I would do so much for the pirate king tee shirt! if i’m not the lucky winner i’ll probably save up some money and buy it cause i love it so much. i’d love to be a pirate king myself and this shirt would constantly inspire me to dress in finery, put on an eye patch, drink booze, and carry knives in my teeth! haha well…perhaps it’d be better if i didn’t, so i’ll just pretend i’m living vicariously through the stunning graphic on my tee shirt.
gus said | 9 January, 2008
I’d love the vampire tee shirt, so i could wear it really late at night and alternately excite and freak out my friends cause the pattern is SO CRAZY and the teeth look creepy and the whole thing is spectacular. It would never get old, I’d probably have to ask someone to help prevent me from wearing it on the daily…and the nightly, it’d inspire me to never sleep and become a vampire!
bianca said | 9 January, 2008
stop, collobo rate and listen. as everytime I look at it, Vanilla Ice himself sings … Ice is back with a brand new edition … in my head. reminding me of days when I wore baggy t shirts over glo cyclling shorts and named my pet hamsters salt n’ pepper. yeah.
adriana said | 10 January, 2008
Dancing shoes. Dancing shoes. Dancing shoes

Organ Donor.
It’s a sweet design because it has already donated some of its organs…
Plus… Why not
Kel said | 10 January, 2008
Diamond Burger in yellow!
Because that’s how I roll - Fresh, new and will make you think.
JARED said | 10 January, 2008
“Dancing Shoes”
The collection is about capturing the craziness that is midnight love. What better describes the unnameable nuances of a perfect midnight than a pair of perfectly dressed dancing feet? Nothing, that’s what.
Amelia said | 10 January, 2008
I’d like the Stop Collaborate and Listen one
Because Ice is back with a brand new mission
Fi said | 10 January, 2008
I Love the ‘Lover’s t-shirt. I run a website called the onelove project which showcases expressions of love from around the world. That t-shirt was made for me!
Boris G said | 10 January, 2008
organ donor.
Because i’m on a self-imposed no-buy policy for all of January.
I want it so that i can still get my retail fix without without the guilt of excessive spending.
Aine said | 10 January, 2008
Young Lovers Never Die - because it’s sums up young love. And it’s true (apart from Jimmy of “Leaders of the Pack” fame)
Michelle said | 10 January, 2008
There all great and fun designs! If I’d have to rock one it would be the stop collaborate & listen. It’s fun, get your attention and I like it!
cheers!
Adrian Colling said | 10 January, 2008
I love the ‘Vampire meets the hound’ t-shirt!!!!
It’s very cool. Why? Because it does is.
Robin B said | 10 January, 2008
lovers of course, this is the tee shirt for anyone who is in love, has ever been in love or who is looking for love.
Will said | 10 January, 2008
I would have to say the ‘Guitboard’ Tee shit. Oh! sorry i mean the Keytar tee!
Morgan said | 10 January, 2008
DIAMOND BURGER. mmmmmm… It hurts my mouth. plus I can relate to the burger with a touch of class and yellow background.
C S said | 10 January, 2008
‘Crowned Ghost’
strange and silly…i like!
Sheah said | 10 January, 2008
Stop, Collaborate & Listen, because everybody needs to know the true musical genius that was and is Vanilla Ice. Those four words did more for race relations that any political protest or government policy.”Stop, Collaborate and Listen” was much more than getting a couple of your mates to play on your next record, it goes much deeper than that. It was about a bringing together of different cultures and identities to create something much bigger than the sum of all its parts…..yeah, that’s right, I’m talking about synergy.
And what better way to commemorate this momentous time in our history than to wack it on a tshirt. If I win this tshirt I do solemnly swear to wear it proudly and use it as an opportunity to educate the young people of today about the power of white nerd hip hop.
Kate said | 10 January, 2008
“Young and Restless” As this is how i feel about my life………
Dan said | 10 January, 2008
Vampire Meets the Hound. That shirt symbolises what it’s like slogging long hours as a Sales Assistant in the shoe department of DJs for Mr and Mrs ‘AB’. Go on, ask to try another pair beeatch!
yooni said | 10 January, 2008
Oh man, oh man, these are all great.
I’d have to go with the Lovers one–bold, graphic, and SWEET!
Lost at E Minor–you rock. Young Lovers, you rock no less.
isobel said | 10 January, 2008
i’ve had my eye on the “Young Lovers Never Die” tee for a while now but alas, my student budget does not stretch quite far enough for me to purchase a $60 top.
paul said | 10 January, 2008
I want the Black cat at night eating licorice - but can i get it on a black tee?
Danielle said | 10 January, 2008
‘Stop Collaborate & Listen’ needs to be hanging in my closet! My husband walks around the house, emails and even Twitters his beatbox lyrics barrowed from Vanilla Ice. This would be sweet.
Jess said | 11 January, 2008
Stop, Collaborate & Listen!
luckygirl said | 11 January, 2008
“STOP, COLLABORATE & LISTEN” because it’s a brief message inspiring positive change in people, and therefore the world, as well as being a geeky vanilla ice lyric!
;-P
esther said | 11 January, 2008
wow, VAMPIRE MEETS THE HOUND, for sure. the graphic elements on the t-shirt are wicked. awesome. tubular. i could go on, but i’d rather not. also, i got let out of school early today because of a storm, and i’m hoping that my luck will just increase by the moment…make my dreams come true, everyone!!! lalala…!
Nater said | 11 January, 2008
I would go with “vampire meets the hound” because it looks awesome. Its a simple explaination, but what can I say? its a good design and it just looks good.
Sara said | 11 January, 2008
“The future is history” shirt is my favourite.
The phrase and the composition really speaks volumes.
Great design.
Kam said | 11 January, 2008
clearly “stop collaborate and listen”
sha said | 12 January, 2008
dancing shoes doesn’t get enough love. who wouldn’t want to wear legs like a scarf?
Michael said | 12 January, 2008
Hey hey
Im loving the lovers t because Im soooooo pissed off with seeing the LOVE symbol everywhere it has lost all meaning. being a bit of a lover myself this t make alot of sense. keep up the good work.
lovelove
Michael
Jamie said | 12 January, 2008
It’s got to be “Young Lovers Never Die”, white on red. How many times have you walked into a room and seen someone suggesting that you and them should go off and make immortal love for all eternity?
Even if the answer was “yes”, let’s pretend its “no” for now, just for this explanation.
So you never have.
Well, would it not be the ultimate statement, to stand there and wait for someone to join you in eternity, knowing that they all want to?
It seems like that to me.
MAria said | 12 January, 2008
young and restless one for sure.. is it still jan 12th at where you are? )
piwi said | 13 January, 2008
Keytar is for me! =) I love the constrast between red and black, it impacts! catches your eye. That blood red says “hey! I’m a whore for attention, look at me!” Guitars and keyboards are the coolest thing on earth I even play the latter so what can gets more cooler than that me playing keyboards and using that shirt, I’ll even have a guitar tied to my neck if so? and together they are da bomb! oh yeah 
piwi said | 13 January, 2008
just for the record here in america it’s still 12th Jan midday *beep* o_O
Jake said | 13 January, 2008
Stop. Collaborate and listen.
Young Lovers are back with a brand new invention…or are they?
Vanilla Ice inspired t-shirts are running rife right now. But it seems the YL’s print is a lot more tastesful than the others I’ve seen, such as…
