T-10: 2K10 Trendsetting Tees Are Here!
- News/
- March 22, 2010

These new trend ideas blasted our eyeballs with awesomeness! We had a bunch of amazing entries that went into the 2K10 running, and they were all over the map, in the best of ways!
One common thread we kept seeing in the top 2k10 entries was: old + old = new. When you combine old ideas together, they create something new. And more so than ever, in our mash up, meme meets meme, spork-filled times, this is true. So you'll see this trend theme in a lot of our winners, but each one had a special trend of its own too! Enough blabber, on to the winners!
