The geeks over at ThinkGeek have added a new shirt to their collection of shirts that you can use to create your own band. They already have a guitar shirt and a drum shirt and now you can add this synthesizer shirt to the line to complete your 80′s T-shirt tribute band.

The new shirt is up for pre-order right now and will come in S-XXL for prices running from $29.99 to $32.98 (USD). The keyboard on the shirt can play up to five different sounds and up to eight keys can be pressed at one time.

The sound actually comes from a little amplifier that hands on your belt loop. Of course, the electronics have to be removed to wash this thing. ThinkGeek says that you will get your shirt by November 30 if you order today.

Wear These Science Shirts and Lose All of Your Friends

It’s one thing to confound people with scientific concepts. But these shirts take it to the next level of geekery. Wear at your own risk.

The “I Survived the Large Hadron Collider” shirt celebrates the fact that we’re still alive even after the LHC was turned on. If you’re going “whaaaaaat?” right now then you might want to try this shirt, which explains the fundamental sciences in uber-layman’s terms:

What’s that? It’s way too corny? So you want something more offensive? Then slay your Physics professors with this insult ala particle physics shirt:

Okay so it’s still corny. But at least you got the joke. All of these shirts – and other designs – are available at Neatorama’s shop. They’re all on sale too, down to $10 from $15. If you don’t want them, maybe your teachers will. *wink wink*

Relive the Big and Chunky Days of Gadgets With Fauxsure Shirts

Remember when controllers had corners and not curves? When speakers were bigger than a house? When storage was limited but personal? and rectangular? Remember when synths… Nevermind. Synthesizers still look the same. Oh wait. Remember when synths had no USB connection? Because there was no USB in the 80s?

If you can remember those days it’s because you ain’t drunk! If you ain’t drunk it’s ’cause you ain’t been partying! And you ain’t been partyin’ cause your shirts suck. Really Steve, no one knows who Tux is. Plus Tux isn’t really a nerd. He’s not even a real penguin. He’s not real period. So head on to fauxsure’s page at Etsy and get dressed the old-school-but-still-cool way.

All of fauxsure’s shirts are screenprinted, in keeping with the old school feel. I don’t even know what the hell that thing is beside the NES controller. You can probably name them all in 5 seconds. See, it’s a shirt and a conversation piece.

All designs are printed on American Apparel shirts, style 2001 for Men’s and style 2102 for Women’s. You can specify the color of the shirt as well as the designs, but if you’re not good at this fashion thing you can also let fauxsure pick the design color that matches your chosen shirt color.

You can also specify if you want a different shirt style aside from the default ones, but again make sure that they’re from American Apparel. Of course you have to tell them the shirt size as well.

All shirts sell for $21.50 USD. fauxsure also has bags screenprinted with these same designs, and they have other non-retro techie designs as well. Go and for once in your life be invited to a party that doesn’t raid or kill but just drinks and chills.
