SHIRT of the WEEK

So this is the first installment of the shirt of the week post. If you didn't know there is a whole creative process for each shirt we create, it's not complicated or anything but each design does have some sort of inspiration and roots to our culture. We've done this a couple times before(big youth, rad kiss) but now it's going to be weekly.

Anyway just take a look at this weeks shirt and it will make sense... then check back next week for a new shirt.

The OG BUMPER STICKER...
This shirt has been very popular with FLA residents and no lie has actually offended tourists, now that is fun to do but offending people wasn't our intention... here's a quick story, just the other day a radom lady (most likely wasn't local) got on my case for having this shirt on, she was going off on me saying that's not funny at all tourism is Florida's main income and we need to be nice and respectable to tourist's.

Anyway that lady needs to relax and so does everybody else that is offended by this shirt. As I was saying this was never our intention. If you grew up in the 80's or early 90's on any popular coastal community in FLA then there's a good chance you saw this bumper sticker on some beat up ol' chevy work truck most likely belonging to some crusty redneck who cleans pools or something. Everytime I saw one of these stickers I always had a good laugh.

So one day me & Brando we're sitting in beach traffic and I was gettin frustrated, sitting in bumper to bumper traffic and noticing that all the other cars had out of state tags. Then I start talking about the old welcome to Florida bumper stickers and how I'd like to find one. Then Brando tells me he used to have one on his Van when he was 16 (thats right brando was the dude with the van in high school) we had a laugh and then decided we need to bring it back, so that's what we did took the phrase made it look cool and printed it on an orange shirt. Orange of course for Florida. So that's the purpose of the shirt just a good laugh.... and to pay tribute to brando's van of course.
