I was just transported back in time 6 years. Okay, not literally of course (everyone knows you can only travel forwards in time).
In need of some inspiration, I stuck “t-shirts” into Google to see which sites rank. Of course, this is google.co.uk I am talking about, but it was still quite interesting. Click for big.
It’s interesting to see which sites rank. I also tried at Google.com and perhaps not surprisingly, Threadless comes top. But on the UK, it’s 8ball.co.uk, an okay site with okay tees (I don’t think I would ever order there, but there are worse). They also appeared on the Google.com results (about #8), but I don’t know if that would be the case from the US (different data centres and all that)?
Anyway, I digress completely. It was the site at #8 above that took me back - itiswhatitis.co.uk. This was the first online tshirt site that caught my attention and I ordered from. I thought my tee was so cool, wore it all the time and laughed when people didn’t get it. Wearing a tee with an ‘in-joke” is kinda cool. Of course now, I wouldn’t wear this for shit, though I do still own it. The tee quality is also poor (I wonder if IIWII have changed that?). What do you think?
Anyone else want to ’share’ how they started out with online tees?
