Doesn't Paul Frank have a tshirt design exactly like this?

about Bring It Back

yes he does. which kinda sucks because this one is a good idea. oh well. http://shop.store.yahoo.com/fastforwardusa/pafrmoclssme.html

shimala on Aug 08 '05 at 12:13pm

Exactly?

I think you need to look that up in a dictionary before you start throwing words out like that

little_hobbit_feet on Aug 08 '05 at 12:14pm

Exactly.

abeadles on Aug 08 '05 at 12:17pm

It is the same subject, and the more handlebar t's in the world, the better.

margolove on Aug 08 '05 at 12:18pm

yeah.. they sort of have the same theme, but I wouldn't say that the designs are all that similar, really.

travis76 on Aug 08 '05 at 1:02pm

paul frank doesn't have an original idea either.

tesko on Aug 08 '05 at 1:04pm

Hey thats me on the http://www.handlebarclub.org.uk/ home page! I'm on the far left.

gerpander on Aug 08 '05 at 1:12pm

Oh man, who dares to wear Paul Frank anyway?

littlem on Aug 08 '05 at 1:13pm

i do. i wear the boxer shorts:)

littlem on Aug 08 '05 at 1:14pm

so shut your piehole, gerp!

lovesickkid83 on Aug 08 '05 at 1:15pm

all i know is that i wish i had a mustache! my dad has one, its not huge! its a pretty think mustache tho. ever since he grew a moustache he has never shaved it off. i dont know what he looks like without it.

tesko on Aug 08 '05 at 1:16pm

I've got a paul frank shirt but I did'nt realise untill I got it home. It's a great big John Deere tractor in green on yellow. It's one of my favs but I was a bit dissapointed when I saw the label.

gerpander on Aug 08 '05 at 1:17pm

Yes mommy.

littlem on Aug 08 '05 at 1:19pm

Damn, does this mean I've adopted another kid???

little_hobbit_feet on Aug 08 '05 at 1:20pm

It's sad that you're so elitist that you don't want to wear a shirt because of who made it.

tesko on Aug 08 '05 at 1:23pm

I know but if you saw the type of people who wear paul frank in Eng-er-land you'd totaly understand.

little_hobbit_feet on Aug 08 '05 at 1:26pm

I wouldn't.

I won't deny myself anything simply because a group of people I don't identify with uses it.

tesko on Aug 08 '05 at 1:27pm

I know, I'm not perfect but meh. Paul Frank wearers are typicly beer drinking football thugs which is the antithesis of tesko.

tesko on Aug 08 '05 at 1:28pm

I still wear it all the time tho.

littlem on Aug 08 '05 at 1:35pm

I'm a beer drinking football thug, so I guess I fit the profile:)

travis76 on Aug 08 '05 at 1:59pm

there's 3 types of clothes people:

1) those who avoid name brands emblazoned on thier clothes, and cut off tags or only buy them second hand or at great discount, make thier own clothes, or try to be as generic as possible. (me as a teen)

2) people who don't care anymore, so long as the name isn't the focus of the clothes, and the fit is right (me now)

3) those who only buy name brand, are proud to be walking advertisements, and actively seek out big name clothes for no other reason then status. (me, hopefully never)

who are you?

gerpander on Aug 08 '05 at 2:01pm

4) I shop at Threadless.

travis76 on Aug 08 '05 at 2:02pm

and ps- maybe i'm just jealous that paul frank built an empire off a poorly simplified ugly monkey head and a retarded looking skull and crossbones.

paint me crazy.

littlem on Aug 08 '05 at 2:02pm

#2

As long as it's comfy, that's all that matters.

It's a plus if it happens to look good on me, too!

gerpander on Aug 08 '05 at 2:03pm

travis, it's not jealousy to diss clothes which look like crap.

clackass on Aug 08 '05 at 2:04pm

i have paul frank rx glasses.

littlem on Aug 08 '05 at 2:06pm

gerpander? forty lashes with a wet noodle, son!

funkie fresh on Aug 08 '05 at 2:07pm

like omg! this shirt is an exact replica of that paul frank shirt...not really

i'm also a number 2 but i might be turning into a number 4 with all these shirts i'm buying

travis76 on Aug 08 '05 at 2:08pm

yeah, i'm more of a 1 and a half to 2, i guess. i still alter my clothes....

i will never be a three. threes are sad.

i consider buying threadless to be a #2 trait anyway.

tesko on Aug 08 '05 at 2:13pm

I'm a 2 drowning in a sea of 3's

clackass on Aug 08 '05 at 2:15pm

i agree with that.

margolove on Aug 08 '05 at 2:18pm

I guess I'd be a two. I want to make my own clothes, but it'll probably never happen. I really, really hate big logos on clothes, though. I already paid for the shirt - I'm not going to be free advertising.

abeadles on Aug 08 '05 at 3:08pm

3) Fubu

little_hobbit_feet on Aug 08 '05 at 3:19pm

If I like something, I buy it.

I don't think there's a category for that yet.

themidtownkoala on Aug 08 '05 at 3:30pm

Gahhhh! I hate number threes. Rather, I hate their clothing. I HATE the whole Louis Vuitton mindset. Why would you buy something that you really could care less about, just to advertise money. Better yet, why do people pay money to a company to advertise for them? If Nike wants me to wear a shirt with thier logo on it, they best pay me each time I go out in public wearing it. (Sorry, I know, I'm preaching to the choir.)

themidtownkoala on Aug 08 '05 at 3:31pm

(PS - little hobbit feet, I could not agree more with both things you've stated here.)

travis76 on Aug 08 '05 at 3:39pm

a coworker of my wife got a louis vuitton purse- not a knock off- actually purchased it in new york from one of the big stores...

my wife thought that -maybe- it was actually very well made or something, but it's not even leather, and it's put together like any other walmart purse.

suckers.

themidtownkoala on Aug 08 '05 at 3:43pm

I've never liked Louis Vuitton because thier main logo design and color look like they belong in a stuffy old gentlemen's lodge rather than on the arm of trendsetters.

stuntgrowth on Aug 08 '05 at 5:20pm

Yeah I agree with little hobbit feet, im to lazy to consult with my fashion morals these days I just pick whatever I like whether its threadless, louis vuitton, puma, some shirt I found in a trash can, all that matters is my own preference not cause it has a label or not.

eskimokiss on Aug 08 '05 at 5:59pm

Paul Frank was cool like 6 years ago

littlem on Aug 08 '05 at 6:14pm

6 years ago? That must be how old my boxer shorts are:)

clackass on Aug 08 '05 at 8:55pm

Holler.

as the designer of the Bring It Back shirt, I want to clarify that I've never seen the Paul Frank design. I also don't know who Paul Frank is, nor had I seen ANY tee shirt with a mustache on it for that matter.

The only other one i've seen in public since the Threadless one came out is that one that says 'guns dont kill people, people with mustaches kill people' which is a far cry from this design.

It's unfortunate that it was printed on Green cause it makes it hard to read, my original light tan background was a bit more forgiving. oh well.

hello,

i am Paul Frank's moustache. i just want to say that the moustache is for everybody to enjoy. you can call me a moustache evangelist but that's how i feel. i'm really happy that there are other rad dudes who feel the same as i do about moustaches. if you really know us here at PF you'd know that my moustache evangelist passion comes from the heart & you would know that all we want to do here at Paul Frank Industries is make rad stuff & hire rad people to work with 'cause it's WAY better that working somewhere else. thank you threadless for supporting artists with swell ideas so they don't have to work in an Office Space.
