With pirates constantly showing up in pop-culture these days, its no surprise that they have started to crop up in clothing designs. However, many designs with pirates are mundane, cliché, and rather boring. This design, in contrast, blends the idea of the archetypal outlaw with the modern idea of hip-hop and alternative culture. The pirate, while wearing an eye patch and a tri-cornered hat as he would have in the seventeenth century, is also sporting a chain with an oversized dollar symbol, placing him in today's society and the past simultaneously. With this shirt, you can find the inner pirate in you, and sport a fun and attractive design at the same time. This shirt shows off the rebellious nature of anyone who wears it, and its subtle coloration, just simple black on white, makes it a sure thing that you won't feel flashy with it on. Adventure is a part of life that many today don't have time or money for, and this is a very unfortunate fact. As pirates can attest to, adventure is the spice of life. This shirt shows off your love of spontaneity and adventure, and makes others sit up and take notice. The design is quite distinctive, and the high contrast black and white of the pirate and his accessories make it easy to see and admire even from afar. Everyone knows that pirates are cool. Beginning hundreds of years ago, pirates were the first type of outlaw that won popular fame and notoriety. Captains like Black Beard, and Robert the Red were so famous that there has been a ton of popular literature and even films made based on their exploits in the Caribbean. And of course, then there's the ever popular Pirates of the Caribbean film series that has been made recently and took its original cue from the Disneyland ride. Already having completed the third movie in its trilogy, the daring-do's of Captain Jack and his associates have made it into box office records around the globe. Although the popular culture of pirates and their dangerous search for gold and treasure is interesting, this design is more than just an incarnation of this recent popularity. It is a clear statement of a little bit of rakish disregard for the law and authority, all in good fun of course! |
