Anything and everything can and will wind up on a T these days!
(And, believe me, I am leaving out a lot of abject examples from this - you know that I am! You see them on the street as well as I do...!)
T-shirts are the ultimate advertisement panel; people's torsos!
They can be used to relaunch properties, advertise whatever it is that you want to advertise or simply make a quick buck off of people's nostalgia, what I call the saudades factor...!
