The Santa Yoda tee for example is a hilarious nod to episodes past.

Indie Designed Star Wars Tees

If indie designs are more your thing then fan made goodies from NeatoShop such as I Want You For The First Order tee will be sure to please. It is a proper piece of Sith Propaganda that will bring out the Dark Side of anyone even remotely tempted.

Throne Wars Tee Design Review.

THIS DESIGN IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE FROM THIS RETAILER.

The Throne Wars tee design is for the Game of Thrones and Star Wars fans.

The concept is like half parody and half mashup. In this, the Game of Thrones characters are spoofing the Star Wars episode 4: A New Hope movie poster (shown below). Ravens fly above instead of tie fighters. Jon Snow is holding up a Longclaw with a burst or glow coming from it while Daenerys Targaryen has the red dragon perched on her finger. Bronn and Tyrion Lannister are replacing the Droids in the background. The Night's King is the shadowy face in space instead of Darth Vader's trademarked helmet. The location is the Wall but the foreground has a desert like rock which seems a little out of place considering the Wall.

Star Wars Episode 4: A New Hope Poster

As for the artwork, it is superb. The colors are vivid and the shading is better than most of the New Hope parodies and mash ups.

This Throne Wars tee will make a nice gift for the Game of Thrones fans. Even some Star Wars fans would appreciate it.

Like most of the designs on this site, it would make a great Comic-Con shirt.

Throne Wars Tee Design by evolvingeye.

Is available on T-shirts, Hoodies, Tank Tops, Sweatshirts, Long Sleeves, Dog T-shirts. Black, Charcoal and Navy are the fabric colors are available. Black is really the best and only real choice for a good looking tee, Navy would look rather retro and is second best. Charcoal makes the design look faded according to the thumbnails.

Pleased To Meet You Tee Design by RicoMambo.

Pleased To Meet You Tee Design Review.

THIS DESIGN IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE FROM THIS RETAILER.

The Pleased To Meet You tee design is for the Game of Thrones and Star Wars fans that geek out over both of the franchises equally.

The Pleased To Meet You tee design concept is simply drawing on the many parallels between Luck Skywalker and Jaime Lannister. In this design the two meet rather awkwardly. So WARNING SPOILER ALERT! First off, both strapping young lads have a thing for their own sisters. Second, both men have major daddy issues. Those may not be evident in this design but it part of the pairing. Third, they are both of noble blood. Fourth, both are trained swordsmen. Fifth, they both lose a hand. Finally(?), they both go through trials that shape their character for the better.

As for the artwork, it is sketchy but solid. The characters look kind of like statues minus some stone textures as the coloring is flat with the skin and clothing being the same color for each character. There is some minor shading and the likeness of each would definitely give away who is who even without the exchanged names (dialogue).

While this tee is awesome, I hope to see a more detailed version of this design in the future by RicoMambo. The concept is a very layered mash up and is respectful to both franchises.

This is a must have tee for fans of both franchises.

Pleased To Meet You Tee Design by RicoMambo.

Is available on T-shirts, Tank Tops, Hoodies, Long Sleeves, Sweatshirts and Dog T-shirts. Ice Blue (Best Choice), Kiwi Green, Silver, Turquoise and White are the available fabric color choices. The review breakdown is as follows:

Pulp Simpson Tee Design Review.

The Pulp Simpson tee design is for The Simpsons and Pulp Fiction fans.

Pulp Fiction

The concept is great. The Pulp Fiction characters of Vincent Vega and Jules Winnfield (seen above) are replaced by Barney Gumble and Homer Simpson of The Simpsons. This is one of the better Pulp Fiction parodies out there. The use of beer mugs rather than guns is what makes this such a great and funny tee.

As for the artwork, there is no color, Just White on Black. It is a good rendering of the two classic cartoon alcoholics with their often used expressions. It has nice action with the spills, burp and drool. The design almost seems ...animated.

While this is the Pulp Fiction pose it is definitely more of a Simpsons fan tee. It is a great shirt for people that do not take life too seriously.

Stationjack executed this design wonderfully as this is a believable scene that stays true to the beloved characters.

Is available on T-shirts, Hoodies, Long Sleeves, Sweatshirts and Dog T-shirts. Black, Deep Royal and Navy are the fabric color options. Black really the best option. The review breakdown is as follows:

Knowledge Rules Tee Design by RicoMambo.

Knowledge Rules Tee Review.

THIS DESIGN IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE FROM THIS RETAILER.

The Knowledge Rules tee design is for the Breaking Bad,The Big Bang Theory and Game of Thronesfans and anyone who likes or gets the "The Good, The Bad, The Ugly" reference as well.

This concept is a parody of "The Good, The Bad, The Ugly" only with who knows what from other franchises. Walter White aka Heisenberg of Breaking Bad "Knows Chemistry", Dr. Sheldon Cooper of The Big Bang Theory "Knows Physics" and the bastard Jon Snow "Knows Nothing". I must say that it is cool as Hell to have these four completely different fandoms all on one tee. The theme of Knowledge is the only way that I could see it done too so kudos RicoMambo.

As for the artwork, while the layout is derivative, the art features monochromatic green portraits with awesome shading provide great character likenesses based on actual video stills. Each franchise's text is also done in their own stylized title fonts.

Like other Breaking Bad or even Game of Thrones tees. I wouldn't recommend it as a school garment as it's not appropriate for kids.

Wear this tee to a Comic-Con or wherever you'd like to stir up a conversation about any of the shows.

Knowledge Rules Tee Design by RicoMambo.

Is available on T-shirts, Hoodies, Long Sleeves, Sweatshirts and Dog T-shirts. Black, Dark Chocolate and Navy are the fabric color options, which is appropriate but Black is really the best choice. The review breakdown is as follows:

Go Home Hat You’re Drunk Tee Design Review.

THIS DESIGN IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE FROM THIS RETAILER.

The Go Home Hat You're Drunk tee design is for Harry Potter Fans fans and to a lesser extent fans of Game of Thrones.

The Go Home Hat You're Drunk tee design concept is that Harry Potter belongs in House Stark of Game of Thrones. It is rather amusing. I actually laughed out loud for a good seven seconds or so when I first seen it. The idea itself is brilliant.

As for the artwork, The illustration and coloring is nice. However there are two things that might bother some people. First, there is one tiny dot out form Harry's elbow that is just there, so CREAM is the best color for this design. No one else would notice it. Second, the spotlight is weird looking with the edges on both sides being asymmetrical and well... lazy. The shading isn't consistent either. Again, probably no one but me pays this much attention to the details in t-shirt designs. It is a bit weird to see a House Sigil inside a dialogue balloon instead of words.

Game of Thrones fans and some Harry Potter fans would want this tee in their collection, especially if they like of both franchises.

Go Home Hat You're Drunk Tee Design by Lithium.

Is available on T-shirts, Tank Tops, Hoodies, Long Sleeves, Sweatshirts and Dog T-shirts. There are many fabric color choices available. However this is one of the rare occasions when the choices should be limited. It actually looks better on the lighter colors such as CREAM for reasons mentioned in the art critique above. So seriously take that into consideration if you get this design. The review breakdown is as follows:

Death Lord Tee Design by pigboom

Death Lord Tee Design Review.

The The Death Lord tee design is for the Star Wars that aim for the ultimate Dark Side.

The concept is self explanatory it is a mash up of the Grim Reaper and Darth Maul. Perhaps a better name for this design would be Death Maul but eh whatever. If Death was a Sith then this is probably how he'd look. It is a simple idea executed brilliantly.

As for the artwork, it is badass. Excellent coloring, shading and details. The glow effect is awesome as it reflects off of the character's shroud. The skull is Grey and detailed with Darth Maul's markings. Rather than just Darth Maul's face. The Neatoshop version you can actually make out the skull that is supposed to be part of the design, comparison here. I can go on how cool this tee looks but the link and art speak for itself.

This Death Lord Tee will make a nice gift for the morbid Star Wars fans.

This is a great Sci-Fi shirt that fits in anywhere such as Comic-Con or coffee shops.

A Star Odyssey Tee Design by pigboom.

Is available on T-shirts, Hoodies, Tank tops and Crewnecks. Black is the only fabric color option available. The review breakdown is as follows:

A Star Odyssey Tee Design by Naolito.

A Star Odyssey Tee Design Review.

The A Star Odyssey tee design is for the Star Wars fans that enjoy other science fiction movies such as 2001: a Space Odyssey.

The concept replaces the man apes and monolith of 2001: A Space Odyssey with Chewbacca and Han Solo frozen in carbonite. Which is a cool idea but it is not original. There is another design called Hanolith which is much older and done by the artist known as Bleee. Naolito's take on the concept is a bit more realistic as far as the art style.

2001: A Space Odyssey

As for the artwork, it is worthy of praise. Good coloring as to be expected from Naolito. The shading is a bit reversed for Chewbacca when in relation to Han but that is probably done on purpose to keep Han looking true to the movie. The background as awesome as it is with the wookies and Deathstar are darkened for some atmospheric perspective. Thus keeping Chewbacca and Han as the focal point.

This A Star Odyssey will make a nice gift for the Star Wars geeks as well as the Stanley Kubrick and Arthur C. Clarke fans.

This is a great Sci-Fi shirt that fits in anywhere such as Comic-Con or coffee shops.

Starry Wars Tee Design by ddjvigo.

Starry Wars Tee Design Review.

The Starry Wars tee design is for the Star Wars fans that enjoy the art of Vincent van Gogh.

The concept is to combine Tatooine with the Starry Night sky which is the perfect backdrop for anything from the galaxy far far away. This is one of the better Starry Night parodies and mash ups and if you've been paying attention to this blog you may have seen some reviewed already.

Starry Night by Vincent van Gogh

As for the artwork, the style is emulating Vincent van Gogh's obviously with the broad stroke swirls but the colors are muddier than Vincent's palette. Black fabric is the better choice in this case as it helps all the colors to pop with much greater contrast. Boba Fett looks bad ass. Half to most of him utilizes the negative space which is the most impressive part of this design. That and the fact that this may be based off of Starry Night but it isn't an exact copy like many of the other variants out there.

This Starry Wars tee will make a nice gift for the Star Wars fans.

Wear this tee to Comic-Cons, Sci-Fi conventions and to art museums.

Is available on T-shirts, Hoodies, Tank tops and Crewnecks. Black or Navy Blue are the only fabric color options but they are the only two colors that would work. The review breakdown is as follows:

Science Club Tee Design by djkopet

Science Club Tee Design Review.

The Science Club tee design is for science buffs and Breaking Bad fans that can't can't get enough of like-minded pop culture characters.

When Walter organized the first ever meeting of the Fictional Scientists Club he didn’t think there’d be much of a turnout, especially since Doctor Frankenstein claimed he was coming in from Transylvania to attend the meeting, but all kinds of characters actually showed up. There was that softheaded scientist Bunsen Honeydew, that quirky young physicist who kept saying bazinga, a sinister cephalopod of a man with metal arms attached to his back, a Doc Brown who claimed he’d been back in time, a cold hearted fellow named Freeze and good old Albie Einstein, cartoon version of Albert. They were all in awe of Mr. White's chemistry skills, and thought he'd probably be voted Most Likely To Succeed, but when he shared his recipe for blue crystals with the club their jaws dropped to the floor...

The concept is to take a bunch of fictional scientists and put them in a room together, with Walter White as the center of attention. Would they approve or cheer him on? Either way this Breaking Bad fan tee is meant remind everyone of Walter's super chemistry skills and his super villain mindset.

As for the artwork, it is clean and professional. White and Blue inks are the only colors used and the color of the fabric blank feels in the rest. The highlights and shading are great for a cartoon and each character's likeness is spot on. Walter's backside is facing us and is complete shadow with highlights providing the non meth clues to his identity. The design is balanced well and is very pelasing to the eye.

This Science Club tee would make a great gift for the science buffs and Breaking Bad fans. Bonus if they happen to like the other fandoms that are included. Such as Spider-Man, The Big Bang Theory, Batman, The Muppets, Back To The Future, and of course Einstein (real or cartoon version).

While this tee is comical, I wouldn't recommend it as a school garment with the Breaking Bad references. Other than that, this will make a great t-shirt for any casual occasion.
