To welcome you to the New Year let’s start off with a couple of new tees from our friends at www.AssaultShirts.com - the rockers’ choice for counter-culture t-shirts. Whilst I’m at it I’d like to offer my congratulations regarding their media scoop! Skull Propaganda one of their best-selling tees has been seen worn by Bryan of Dear Enemy. Check out the photo of Bryan, the leader singer of Dear Enemy sporting the Skull Propaganda shirt! Get it now for $22.99. You can also check out more Dear Enemy at their iLike page.

Anyway let’s take a look at a couple of Assault’s freshest releases:-

Razor Metal T-Shirt

Loving the concept for this tee, the Razor Metal t-shirt design combines photography featuring a selection of metal scrap yards and various choices in typography. A completely abstract-impressionist t-shirt as far as I am concerned, a brave choice and a powerful piece of imagery. It might just be a little ahead of the curve, that being said the fashion business moves fast, and in my heart of hearts I can already tell that 2010 will be embracing this kind of style more and more. The age of the simplified t-shirt design will eventually fade, detailed graphic tees are always far more popular than simpler logo and branded styles, and eventually abstraction and expressionism will I believe replace more obvious self-explanatory designs as the consumer craves more individuality in their fashion choices. The fact is this design is an interpretation of an emotional reaction rather than the more usual literal depiction attached to a one-liner philosophy. Great work, available for the reduced price of $22.99 for men in sizes S to 3XL (add $2 for 2XL / $3 for 3XL).

Retro Galaxy T-Shirt

Perhaps my all-time favourite t-shirt to ever leave the hallowed gates of Assault’s HQ, this time we’re transported far off into the outer reaches of deep space with the superb Retro Galaxy tee. This is a superb shirt, great graphic control over what could have been a rather chaotic and over-complicated concept. Yet they’ve pulled it off, the detail shots of this tee truly reveal the expert handling in which Assault have appropriated images from the Hubble Deep Space Telescope and combined them to create a shirt worth shouting about. If I’d known I would have had this one on my Christmas list. If you’ve still got some cash after the holidays, check Gran’s card again you never know, then snap up this shirt for the reduced price of $22.99 for men in sizes S to 3XL (add $2 for 2XL / $3 for 3XL).
