Am I repeating this topic?
In any case I saw by chance this photo in flickr today

I wonder if there are more photos of this t-shirt around

Wow, who's that?!?

Oh, oops - wedding ring.

Still cute, tho.

Actually this is a good idea, posting pics of people spotted in "The Shirt" - if anyone sees me wandering the streets of Indy with mine on, feel free to snap away!

if he has any sense of humor he'll like it.
if he doesn't, my number is...

I have to think if you truly love architecture, you've thought 'architecture sucks' on more than one occasion

no true love does not also have an element of true hate in it

perhaps, but architecture sucks is not the same as pure hate.

to talk PURE hate, we'd have to get in to the whole Ron Burgundy/Wes Mantooth relationship.

i got mine last year but was fooled by the bignes (eh eh) of the american sizing compared to the european one, and ended up with an xl that fits like a night gown...

you guys just made me wanna order another one of the right size!

should i wear that for my external exminer review? will that give kudos? or just make me look silly? either way...

has anyone wore his/hers at a inportant review?

I told my (non architect) friends I wanted an Architecture Sucks t-shirt for Christmas. They thought it was a HORRIBLE idea and couldn't understand why I would want one, even after I explained. Makes me think this is not perceived in a humorous way by non-architects at all. Needless to say, nobody gave me one :(

But, there is a red one coming out? My favorite color! Sparkles? hmmm, if it's done tastefully.

Oh my gosh that would be hysterical. It would take me forever, I'd do it though. You need to give me like 6 months.

most sizes of the "architecture sucks" shirts are currently sold out but new ones are coming in a little over a week - same dark blue shirts and also some limited edition red American Apparel shirts in both mens and womens sizes.

here's an interesting sighting in hong kong that someone posted to the gallery

I have one of myself in front of the Tiger Temple in Suzhou, but I covered up part of architecture, so it reads 'architect sucks' DUH!

doberman, I acknowledge the architect's desire for black and grey, but the dark blue is a really great color - very flat, not too blue-ey. "Slate" is actually not a bad descriptor for it (what does "slated" mean in your context?!).

John , please post your pic!

Oh the special edition....you're on my list, French.

We're not talking about something that's copyrighted are we?

Thanks WonderK! Too bad I don't teach anymore, this one would have been great during final juries...
