Unicorn T Shirts - Not Just For Hippies!

Posted: 31 Oct 2009 06:14 AM PDT

Now I know what you’re thinking, but no I haven’t run off with the gypsies with flowers in my hair playing my mandolin under an impossibly technicolor rainbow, those days are long behind me. Although a recent email from UnicornsRock.com did make me smile. Asides from correcting some of our HTML coding at the Buy Tees blog, they’re pretty insistent that unicorn tees are the next big thing. They’re fighting against the tide of logic and mundanity in the world and reinventing the unicorn in a new, funny, sarcastic and rather catchy new way.

The guys reading this might be able to relate to a minor horror story of mine, in much the same way Rawson Marshall Thurber’s Dodgeball featured a woman obsessed with unicorns, I once entered the bed chamber of a similarly fanatic girl in my late teens and to this day the sight of 100s of stuffed, plastic, printed and giant sized unicorns is still burned on to the back of my retinas. I think that horse with a dodgy horn in Bladerunner, the one with a protuberance that swayed from side to side like a bizarre adult toy might have finally finished off any smidgeon of empathy I could have found for this mythical creature. Still, I’m a grumpy old bloke now, set in my ways, and yet even I managed to muster a chuckle or two at this new unicorn t-shirt brand.

They offer everything from zombie unicorn to gay unicorn t-shirts, there’s even a Batman unicorn tee on offer, although personally I’d have renamed it ‘batnicorn’, but still you get the drift. Do check out Unicorns Rock at Twitter for plenty more info, hook up with them at Facebook and check out more of their pics at their Flickr. Every shirt is $19 plus free US shipping, they offer wholesale or for those who don’t want to make a mint if you buy 2 of their shirts you get a 3rd for $5 which can’t be bad. So - sit on the nearest toadstool, brush the fairy dust from your eyes, and open your mind to the world of the funny unicorn t-shirt. Yeah man…

Unicorn Grinder Tee

As stated at the Unicorns Rock site in these times of recession mythical creatures are the first to go, plus they’re a great source for vitamins R, G and B. I’m sure there are plenty of traders in the East who’d pay good money for the horn as well. If you ever wanted to know what the insides of a unicorn look like, here’s your chance. Yes their intestines and vital organs do come in all the colours of the rainbow! The Unicorn Grinder tee is available in sizes S to XL for men and women, colours light blue and light grey.

Punk Rock Unicorn Tee

See punk isn’t dead, it just moved over to fairy land or wherever the hell unicorns are from. This one seems to have modelled itself on Sid Vicious, at least it doesn’t have an awful druggy American girlfriend who can’t get out of bed without shooting up a dose of smack. Although I am sure that one is to come, smackhead unicorn, in fact I can see a whole world of ideas opening up for Unicorns Rock but I won’t spoil the fun. If you’re sitting there with a safety pin, bolt or bone through your nose this t-shirt should be just up your street. Then again, if you’re a real punk you won’t have any money, so you’d better make your own. If there are any rich punks out there apart from John Lydon (of The Sex Pistols who recently did a butter ad on TV in the UK - how sad is that?) then grab a Punk Rock Unicorn T-Shirt in light blue or light grey (not very punk colours I know) in sizes S to XL for men and women.

Puking Rainbow Tee

I’m just wondering what makes a unicorn puke? I suppose it’s too much of the old fairy nectar. I have to agree with Unicorns Rock that if you were going to up chuck at a party it would be far more impressive and less embarrassing if you could manage to spew all the colours of the rainbow. I have a simple solution if you do, simply use food colouring in each of your beers, although this won’t prevent a fair percentage of orange carrot chunks from bizarrely popping up in the mix (even if you never eat carrots). It’s a bit like peanuts in poo, one of the great mysteries of life. Get the Puking Rainbow tee in (you guessed it) light blue or light grey in all sizes for men and women.

Lucky Unicorn Zombies

Sure it’s a long shot, but there’s logic in UR’s madness. If you did happen to be at the end of the rainbow and heard the awful whining tee tee tah tah tee tee of a leprichaun you might be tempted to do him in, especially with so much gold to be had. Then again, how does zombification come into the equation? Don’t ask, I don’t know, I don’t care. What I do know is that puppy is cute, so look at that and forget about the whys and wherefores of who ate who’s brains. Get the Lucky Unicorn Zombies tee for men and women in all sizes, altogether now… in light blue and light grey.

You have to give it to them, UnicornsRock.com have certainly cornered the unicorn t-shirts market. There’s so many directions they can go with this it will be fun to see what comes next, great for a laugh, not recommended for little princesses who must have their way. Cool.
