I don't have any shirts that advertise, and except for a short-lived bumper sticker that read "My Boss is a Jewish Carpenter"--which was more of an inside joke for believers than a proselytizing message--I don't think I have anything that would fall into the advertising for what I believe in category. But I can't say that's not just personal taste; if I wanted something that had words on it for aesthetic reasons, I'd be much happier with it if it was somehow significant. "Joe's Surf Shop" or some other phrase that holds no meaning for me is going to be a hard sell unless I REALLY like the shirt! I actually like the color of that shirt up there, but the cut not so much (I like looser sleeves and wider collars!).Christiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18107748184124761940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7213497123935819288.post-9638513790222776302014-02-25T09:49:00.109-05:002014-02-25T09:49:00.109-05:00I'm so glad!

I like t-shirts that say snotty things, or fun little poems..but this <i>"These are often counter productive. A pithy and clever catch phrase is more likely to simply anger than change someone's mind. Controversial subjects take relationship and real conversation."</i> is exactly what I meant!!!!<br /><br />..and, I kind of love the idea of a canon lawyer in an AC/DC tee..please tell me you meet with clients in shirts like that! :)Mashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06943998810222103926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7213497123935819288.post-1717739228498587642014-02-25T09:45:20.748-05:002014-02-25T09:45:20.748-05:00THOSE are the shirts I can get into!!!

Fun ones, that either create a sense of shared enjoyment, or make people feel like they're kind of losers for NOT having watched Firefly yet ;)<br /><br />I'm happy enough, in conversation, to bossy people around..but just wearing one..yeah, it makes me feel like I'm actively cutting off a conversation that could have been..<br /><br />I LOVE the war of the colleges though..Mormon vs. Catholic - hahahahaha!Mashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06943998810222103926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7213497123935819288.post-48923094779879607412014-02-25T06:35:33.038-05:002014-02-25T06:35:33.038-05:00I agree!

I don't generally wear clothing with labels or other words, with the occasional exception of a band tee (but I think that's partly because people find a canon lawyer in an AC/DC tee rather amusing. I don't have bumper stickers either, and the only exception I might make is for The Presence- more to help get the word out. But I concur with your point about strong or political words. These are often counter productive. A pithy and clever catch phrase is more likely to simply anger than change someone's mind.

I would wear words, if they said:
"I ...Words? I would wear words, if they said:<br /><br />"I can be terse! Once in flight school, I was even laconic!"<br /><br />or<br /><br />"Also, I can kill you with my brain."<br /><br />or<br /><br />"I solemnly swear that I am up to no good." (Even if it's hard to imagine myself saying that. :P)<br /><br />But political slogans? No. No no no no. It takes a lot to get me to assert myself politically; I feel like I'm being a jerk when I do, even if I'm absolutely right. I wore a Love Life hat at a pro-life rally where I served hot dogs... and haven't worn it much since, but at least that one's vague. If it had said "Choose Life", I would have felt like I was bossing people around. I don't even really do bumper stickers, although Lou has a "Respect Life" one with a silhouette of a baby's head and an elderly person's head, that I've never objected to. (He also has an Franciscan University sticker. Ooh. I should get a Utah State one... then we'd look like a Catholic and a Mormon in the same car... and I could picture that messing with people's minds.
