The Top Twenty Worst Souvenir T-Shirts

April 5, 2010 at 9:30 AM | by | Comments (9)

Spring Break 2010 might be over, but now's the time to start getting pumped over summer vacation...and all of the splurge purchases that come along with it; from "collector" novelty cocktail glasses to sweatpants that read "Down Under" across your bum, nobody can resist the urge to return home with cheap goodies that flaunt your tropical travels in the most garish way possible.

And what's the king of souvenirs? The T-shirt! If you remember the days of "Coed Naked this" and "I Survived that," and even those trompe l'oeil scuba tees that, when you turned around, revealed you're hooked up to a Corona bottle and not an air tank, then prepare to be blown away by these.

After the jump, see the Top 20 Worst Souvenir T-Shirts

We admit that one of the above is taken right from our own closet—not that we wear it...anymore. Do you own any of the shirts, or have you got one that trumps them all?

guess

Have you guess what our souvenir shirt is? Hint: the photo credit on it gives it away. We're guilty!

you americans

You lot have the best appalling tshirts ever. I have a whole wardrobe of them and I think I can trump these with my pink superman SF tshirt from San Francisco, or maybe my DAM Proud American one from the Hoover Dam

20 Worst T-shirts

Hey, just think, in 10 years after you get tired of those t-shirts, your mom can cut out the fancy fronts and sew them together to make a "Vacation Quilt" and showcase that quilt on your bed which you vacated upon leaving for college.

London By Night

That was the slogan on a plain black T-Shirt - hilarious.

Been to Cornwall

A popular savoury snack in south west England is the Cornish pasty - meat, gravy and potato in a pastry case. Some enterprising folks have designed an entire range of pasty themed souveneirs - including coasters, greeting cards and now pasties!

I <3 NY in NY

There are some really ridiculous souvenir shirts out there, but I think the biggest mistake people make is wearing a souvenir shirt in the particular city the shirt is about. An "I <3 NY" shirt in New York City screams tourist, same as the more aggressive "I'm in Miami, Bitch" shirts I saw on tourist after tourist cruising the streets of South Beach just a month ago. Save it for when you get back home, I say! -Karina www.taraandkarinagoout.com
