Serenity Service and Repair Manual Tee Design by ADHO 1982

Serenity Service Repair Manual Tee Review.

The Serenity Service Repair Manual tee design is a great tee for mechanics who love the cult classic television show Firefly and Firefly vessel (Serenity).

This concept is good. It would make a better book cover or movie poster as how many people wear vehicle repair manual covers on their tees otherwise? Yes, it helps that this one is a pop culture based design and makes the idea more bearable. Anything Firefly is good even if it is a bit of a stretch for a tee idea. Not that the design isn't good, it is actually excellent for what it is. Plenty of Firefly lines in one tee. Such as these lines from the episode entitled Train Job.

The Train Job

Act 1

[[In Infirmary]]

Simon: River? River, it's okay. It's me. You know who I am?

River: Simon.

Simon: Were you dreaming? Did you dream about the academy?

River: It's not relevant.

Simon: If you can talk about what happened there-- I know it's hard, but the more I know, the faster you'll get better.

River: This isn't home?

Simon. No. No we can't go home. If we go home, they'll just send you back to the academy. This is safe for now. We're on a ship.

River: Midbulk transport. Standard radion accelerator core class-code 03-K64. Firefly.

Mal: Well that's somethin'. I can't even remember all that.

Simon: Need a weave on that?

Mal: It's nothin'.

Simon: I expect there's someone's face feels differently.

Mal: Well, they tell ya, never hit a man with a closed fist; but it is, on occasion, hilarious.

Simon: Hmm. I suppose so. So the uh-- the fight didn't... draw any, um, any attention?

Mal: No feds. Just an honest brawl between folk. Ain't none of us want the Alliance on us, Doctor. That's why you're here.

Simon: I thought I was here because you needed a medic.

Mal: Well, not today.

[Mal exits]

River: Mal. Bad. In the Latin.

As for the artwork, it really does look like the HAYNES and CHILTON vehicle or auto repair manuals. If there really was such a book I'd buy it.

This Serenity Service Repair Manual tee would make a great gift for the fans of Firefly and Serenity.

This is a great geek shirt that is perfect for comic-cons and whatever. I'd wear it to bar.

Episode 4 A New Formula Tee Design by Ninjaink

Episode 4 A New Formula Tee Design Review.

The Episode 4 A New Formula tee design is for the Breaking Bad and Star Wars fans.

The concept is more of a parody than it is a mash up. Luckily, because it would just be outright stupid to combine the two as a mashup. Seems like anything and everything is mashed together at some point. With this, 5 of the Breaking Bad characters are spoofing the Star Wars episode 4: A New Hope movie poster (shown below). Walter White is holding up a beaker of his famous blue sky meth instead of Luke Skywalker holding up a lightsaber. Skyler White, holding a cigarette sits at his feet, instead of Princess Leia Organa standing while holding a blaster. Gustavo Fring is the shadowy face in space instead of Darth Vader's trademarked helmet. Instead of R2D2 and C3PO in the background there is Saul Goodman and Jesse Pinkman. An explosion of a 747's replaces the tie fighters as the pink teddy bear free falls from the midair collision. The location is pretty much the same in both scenes a desert landscape give or take a few details depending on the franchise.

Star Wars Episode 4: A New Hope Poster

As for the artwork, it is damn good. Almost perfect in fact. Saul Goodman's face has a shadow on the opposite side than everyone else's and that is the only thing wrong with it. To be fair, he is trying to match C3PO's lighting rather than focus on his own creation. I'm not taking away a point for that as I am the only one that would notice or get annoyed by it. FIX IT NINJAINK! The textures in this piece are outstanding. As are the colors. The fact that everything stays true to Breaking Bad is again, a smart move. This is one of the best jobs for capturing the characters' likenesses as Ninajink is not afraid to add any details.

This Episode 4 A New Formula tee will make a nice gift for the Breaking Bad fans. Even some Star Wars fans would appreciate it.

I Want To Believe Tee Design by Cubik and ZombieMedia

I Want To Believe Tee Design Review.

The I Want To Believe tee design is for Sci-Fi fans that enjoy Back To The Future and the X-Files.

The concept of this design is based on the Back To The Future Hoverboard and the poster "I Want To Believe" that could be seen in "Spooky" Fox Mulder's F.B.I. office. It is also the title of the second feature film installment of the X-Files franchise. An actual hoverboard has been the dream of almost everyone that has seen the Back To The Future II and III movies not just the fanboys. WE ALL WANT TO BELIEVE. So much so that two variations of the hoverboard have been made this year to match the deadline in the movie... the Hendo Board and the Lexus Hoverboard. Though neither are as tweaked out or perfected as the one in the movies.

As for the artwork, there is a good full colored illustration of the fictional Mattel Hoverboard in the foreground with a silhouetted Hill Valley Courthouse in the background. Awesome coloring and contrast. Personally I think it is a little weird to see just a hoverboard without a pair of legs attached to it, but that is just me.

The 80's children would probably love this tee as the Back to The Future movies are iconic.

This is a good BTTF tribute tee as this is the year (2015) that the Marty McFly character traveled to in the in the Back To The Future II movie.

Hear Me Roar Tee Design by Alberto Arni.

Hear Me Roar Tee Design Review.

THIS DESIGN IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE FROM THIS RETAILER.

The Hear Me Roar tee design is for Game of Thrones fans and those that have fond memories of The Lion King.

For the concept, The Hear Me Roar tee design corrupts the Game of Thrones world with the evilness of Disney's The Lion King. But it looks damn good. The Lion is the sigil for the House of Lannister and putting Tyrion on a cliff with two other famous lions is a fun idea. It has the right balance of cute and funny as well as all the needed references to make a good mashup or parody.

As for the artwork, the shading, lighting and coloring are all fantastic. It looks like a still from a large production Disney animated movie. It has loads of stunning detail and effects. Especially with the use of the simulated sunlight. It looks really good on a red tee.

As a result, this is one of the best parody tees.

This is an fun Game of Thrones shirt that is bound to bring laughs to many fans.

Writing as someone that is not a fan of The Lion King or of Disney in general, the Game of Thrones fans would still like this tee. But die hard Disney fans would only like this if they like Game of Thrones.

Meth Fiction Tee Design by Manny Peters Art

Meth Fiction Tee Design Review.

The Meth Fiction tee design is for Breaking Bad 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 Badger and Skinny Pete of Breaking Bad. This is my favorite version of the numerous Pulp Fiction parody/mashups out there.

As for the artwork, this one adds a bit of color and references one of the coolest scenes of Breaking Bad with the laser pointers and characters. It also shows more details with the shading of the faces than the other ones do. That basically sums up what can possibly be said about this design.

Laser Pointer Scene Breaking Bad

While this is the Pulp Fiction pose it is definitely more of a Breaking Bad fan tee.

Manny Peters executed this design perfectly, both franchises have their characters personalities showing through with the facial expressions and the right amount of references.

All Characters Must Die! Tee Design by Profetta999

All Characters Must Die! Tee Design Review.

THIS DESIGN IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE FROM THIS RETAILER.

The All characters must die! tee design is a Game of Thrones tee for the fans of The Simpsons chalkboard gag.

As for the concept, the All characters must die! tee design is a mash up that plays on both Bart Simpson's punishment and Arya Stark's revenge list sleep mantra. The repetition theme is a common element for both characters. It is not the first time or the last time that these two franchises will be mashed up but this is the best and most obvious design to come from the combination so far.

This is done in The Simpsons drawing style and depicts Arya as the one writing on the chalkboard. The clothing is all Arya. But the face doesn't really look like her even if it is a Simpsonized version. As it just looks like Bart in a wig with eyelashes. But it does deliver the gag across. It is not worth taking away stars by nitpicking about which character's facial features should be dominate as that is just artistic preference.

Fans of either franchise could go for this shirt. But Game of Thrones fans would definitely be the main target here due to the list of names.

Now if only we can hear Danny Elfman play the Game of Thrones theme song.

WIB Tee Design by mannypdesign.

WIB Tee Design Review.

The Winchesters In Black or WIB tee design is for the "Hunters" or fans of Supernatural and to a lesser extent fans of the MIB or Men In Black franchise.

Another good supernatural design that revolves around their FBI suits that the Winchester brothers wear as they replace the J and K characters of the Men In Black movie poster. Instead of a the mind wiping device that the MIB held, Sam and Dean wield their respective demon hunting knife and trusty Colt handgun. Also, Castiel's silhouette is at the bottom of the letter "I" instead of the silhouettes of the MIB duo.

As for the design, the light coloring and shading are done well. But only on Black fabric, more on this further below.

As for the concept, the serious side of the characters can be seen here in this mash up. It just works. Instead of the hunters of aliens they are hunters of monsters and demons. So therefore, there is not much of a stretch. Both franchises characters dress the same and are or act as "agents".

This WIB tee will make a nice gift for any fan of Sam and Dean and their fight against evil.

This is a good casual shirt that fits in anywhere such as Comic-Cons. It would also make a good tee to wear while streaming Netflix.

Shiny Repair Service Tee Design by saqman.

Shiny Repair Service Tee Design Review.

The Shiny Repair Service tee design. "K & C Shiny Repair Service Across the Galaxy" is about as good as a Sc-fi mash up can get as it has both Star Wars and Firefly.

This concept is cute, especially since Chewbacca is holding Kaylee and her trademark umbrella up in the air with one arm. She rest her free hand on his head which adds to the cute friendliness of the theme. Focusing on strength and kindness. If it wasn't for the fact that their timelines are completely different this would even be believable for the fanboys, because it just works out so well with both of the characters' personalities and trades. Saqman nailed it.

As for the artwork, it is illustrated by one of the best artists in the pop culture tee design circuit. He has many styles but you can always tell somehow when a piece is his. This design in particular follows the rules of design basics taught in art classes for signage. The balance with the design elements of the diamond shape in the background with Star Wars Millennium Falcon on one side and Firefly's Serenity on the other is pleasing to the eye. He tends to add details that others would miss. There is even a little foreshortening in Chewie's wrench arm.

This Shiny Repair Service tee would make a great gift for the fans of both franchises but they would really need to love both and not one or the other for it to be appreciated.

This is a great geek shirt that is perfect for comic-cons and whatever. I'd wear it to bar.

I Am The One Who Knocks Tee Design by Olipop

I Am The One Who Knocks Tee Design Review.

The I Am The One Who Knocks tee design is for Breaking Bad fans and to some extent The Big Bang Theory fans. However, if you are not a TBBT fan, seeing Sheldon get slapped silly might make this a great tee for you.

This concept for mash up stems from Walter White's line "I Am The One Who Knocks." and the fact that Doctor Sheldon Cooper is always obsessive compulsively knocking on people's doors three times and saying their name once then repeating these actions two more times. Usually on Penny's, Leonard's, or Amy's door. In this case Penny's. I'm not sure why Heisenberg is at Penny's apartment. So that story is anyone's guess. She did know a lot about meth labs in Nebraska.

As for the artwork, it is illustrated well enough that one could almost hear the knock across Sheldon's head. The shading and colors are top notch. Gotta love the motion lines. Only Walter's face is showing as Sheldon's back is to the viewer. It is easy to tell who it is supposed to be because of the hairstyle and the trademark tee shirt over a long sleeved undershirt.

This I Am The One Who Knocks tee would make a great gift for the fans of both franchises.

I wouldn't recommend it as a school garment with obvious violence and the Breaking Bad reference. Other than that, this will make a great cross fandom t-shirt for any casual occasion.

Bender U.F.O. Tee Design by Firebeard

Bender U.F.O. Tee Design Review.

The Bender U.F.O. tee design is for Sci-Fi fans that enjoy Futurama and the X-Files.

This design is based on the Futurama episode entitled Roswell That Ends Well and the poster "I Want To Believe" that could be seen in "Spooky" Fox Mulder's F.B.I. office. It is also the title of the second feature film installment of the X-Files franchise.

So the artwork is a silhouetted rip of the actual cartoon of Bender from when the U.S. Military put his body back together wrong in the shape of a flying saucer. It is the mashing it up for the "I Want To Believe" poster that makes the design brilliant. Not the actual artwork itself. There many parodies and mash ups of the poster and they are usually all crap or feature a damn TARDIS.

This Bender U.F.O. tee would make a great gift for fans of the FOX Sci-Fi shows such as Futurama and the X-Files. But don't give FOX too much credit, they did cancel Firefly after all.

This is a great shirt to wear to a Comic-Con or wherever geekdom can be found.
