Geek T Shirts – 11 of the Nerdiest Shirts only Geeks and Tech Nerds Would Wear
- MySpace Junkie
There is probably an inverse relationship between the number of friends one has in reality to the number of friends one has on Myspace. So, for all of you Myspace friend adding psycho’s out there, this one is for you. - WordPress Blogging Platform
I’m not sure how ecstatic a person could get about their word press blog. I mean, unless you’re making tons of money off of advertising like Perez Hilton, I can’t see you running out to buy your spanking new WordPress t-shirt. - Librarian Bust
Remember back in the 80’s when you had to do research for a paper and you would actually take trips to the library? It’s obvious that with the advent of Google and how it transformed the search for information, that same paper that may have taken you 10 hours to research and write may now only take you 5! It’s great for the researchers but horrible for traditional librarians! - RTFM
There seems to be a cleaver relationship between the geek phrase Read the Effing Manual and the Red book that was endorsed by the former chairman of the communist part of China, Mao Zedong. I could just see Mao right now yelling to his deprived nation, RTFM!!! - PWN3D
For all of the gamers and other competitive nerds, this one’s for you. - Graphic/Web Designers
If you think you’ve got a sixth sense for criticizing graphic design, you should probably own this one. If you often feel there could be something added to the space and the pixels just aren’t right, you should own this one too! - Wireless Frequency Network Nerds
Everyone knows that the universal frequency for a wifi signal is 802.11, why not wear it? Does this shirt somehow imply that you’d like others to connect to your personal network? Hopefully your network isn’t password protected or you’ll probably be having a night alone. - All your base are belong to us!
So, this is a mash-up shirt that combines common hex values and the Zero Wing arcade game. - Programming and Computer Languages
- PTOE T Shirt
Just in case you’re really into chemistry and you haven’t already memorized each element in the Periodic Table of Elements, you can refer to your shirt, I’m sure this guy does. - SYN – Denial of Attack
I’m not sure who this guy is sending his SYN packets to, but I hope it’s not our server!

Number 10 is just ridiculous. Wearing that shirt will never, ever, ever lead to coitus.
February 5th, 2008 at 2:11 pm
802.11 is not a frequency. The frequency for wireless B/G devices is in the 2.4 GHZ range. A in the 5GHZ range
802.11 is a standard.

When I was a lad at MIT, they had those Maxwell’s Equations t-shirts that were the most reliable form of birth control known to nerd-kind.
February 5th, 2008 at 2:31 pm
Everyone knows that the universal frequency for a wifi signal is 802.11??
Bless. 802.11 is the IEEE specification number, nothing at all to do with frequency! The frequency is either 5GHz or 2.4GHz
February 5th, 2008 at 2:38 pm
Nice page. But the frequency of a wifi signal is not 802.11, but 2.4GHz. Every geek knows that. And I think the RegEx-shirt *is* funny.
February 5th, 2008 at 2:49 pm
Neither will saying things like “coitus”..
February 5th, 2008 at 3:03 pm
funny!!!
February 5th, 2008 at 3:24 pm
Funny how every nerd must mention that 802.11 is a standard and not a frequency. We got it the first time (comment)
February 5th, 2008 at 3:50 pm
I wish 802.11 was the frequency of wifi! The signal would go through walls and travel much further at that frequency! (Am I nerdy enough yet?!)
February 5th, 2008 at 4:06 pm
Yes, we are geeks but the details are important. There’s a pretty big difference between 802.11 Mhz and 2.4 Ghz.
February 5th, 2008 at 5:11 pm
The missed point of the Wi-Fi shirt is that the bands illuminate based on ambient Wi-Fi signal.
The same company makes an ambient noise meter shirt.
February 5th, 2008 at 5:14 pm
This is pretty geeky:

February 5th, 2008 at 5:36 pm
I think that this topic attracts many geeks as many comments talking about wifi
February 5th, 2008 at 5:40 pm
In case no one has pointed this out, 802.11 is not a frequency. It is an IEEE standard.
February 5th, 2008 at 5:46 pm
Michael, you are a pwned n00b. 802.11 does not mean Mhz. It’s a set of standards. Try reading before speaking. Just cuz u think ur a uber l337 hacker on ur windoze 98 dont mean shit.

what about That’s what she twittered? at Cottyn.com?? nothing can beat that!
February 5th, 2008 at 6:04 pm
numbers 3 and 8…LOVE ‘em!
February 5th, 2008 at 7:22 pm
Heh, I ran across one that might be addable to the list:

It’s a pro-Gay Marriage shirt written in Predicate Logic form… lol!
February 5th, 2008 at 7:29 pm
Whoa whoa whoa, 802.11 is not a frequency. It is an IEEE standard. haha…… nice.
February 5th, 2008 at 8:27 pm
Shirts are funny, but if you are using Google to do all your research….I pity you.
February 5th, 2008 at 9:12 pm
Great T-Shirt for playing FPS games.

just thought I’d get on the bandwagon and state that 802.11 isn’t a frequency its an ieee standard
February 5th, 2008 at 10:51 pm
“Everyone knows that the universal frequency for a wifi signal is 802.11″
Hate to spoil your party, but that 802.11a, b, g & n are NOT frequency, but the names of the IEEE standards describing the different types of WLAN. 802 is the IEEE standards that deal with LAN and metropolitan area networks, and subset number 11 is about wireless networks. The reason 802.11 was picked as a name, was simply that it was the next free IEEE number when the committee started its work on both networking, and WLAN as a sub-category of networking.
The good thing about this, is that the naming of a IEEE standard is even more nerdy than just a frequency, and it’s pretty fun to see such a standard being used so widely in non-geeky circumstances.

Hey!
Where’s the “Bow before me for i am root!” and “I read your email -linux admin” shirt? ^^
February 6th, 2008 at 2:22 am
By the way I have to mentioned that 802.11 is not a frequency but an IEEE standard NOOBS! FIRST POST!
February 6th, 2008 at 4:41 am
Surely #6 refers to “dead pixels” in LCD screens and the like, rather than graphic design? Along with the wireless frequency gaffe, I think the writer of the article is safely in the non-geek camp.
February 6th, 2008 at 4:44 am
FYI number 11. the SYN t-shirt has ACK on the back.
I never get tired of telling people what that means !
February 6th, 2008 at 5:23 am
Numbers 4, 9 and 11 are best!
February 6th, 2008 at 6:57 am
The cool (read ultra-geek) thing about number 7 is that the arcs eminating from the antennae actually light up to display the strength of a wi-fi signal.
Which is NOT received at 802.11 MHz, by the way. It is received at 802.11a/b/g/n MHz per second. You see, it’s an accelleration not a velocity. I can’t understand why none of us geeks reading this story caught that.
And, yes, the name fits.
February 6th, 2008 at 7:06 am
Neither will using the word “coitus.”
February 6th, 2008 at 8:05 am
An excellent selection
February 6th, 2008 at 9:37 am
LOL i want those shirts!
February 6th, 2008 at 9:37 am
I actually I have number 8! And I was gonna buy the binary one.
Number 4 is HILARIOUS!!
February 6th, 2008 at 10:17 am
Seriously?
These shirts are for geek wannabes. Anyone that would buy a geek t-shirt is not a geek. They are someone that want to be seen as a geek by all their geek wannabe friends. Come on!!!
The wordpress pic is a perfect example of 2 people who are clearly not geeks. Also, geeks don’t use Myspace. Puh-LEAAASE!!!
February 6th, 2008 at 10:20 am
“Jim” caught the 801.11 miss @ comment #2, if you keep posting about that ‘f-up’ then you are just proving that you didn’t even read the other posts, which makes you an egocentric lame-oh who just wants to word-poop…
February 6th, 2008 at 11:00 am
hay guise…
802.11 isn’t a frequencey it is ieeeeee standarsds……u r nobos
also first post…i am the beste
February 6th, 2008 at 11:04 am
Your thoughts about modern libraries are not only misinformed, they show why you got the frequency/range thing wrong…and why it matters.
Honestly — if you had actually spoken to a librarian about this, you’d know that, in the end, most people who are doing anything more than the most useless, rudimentary research either end up having to wade through far more information than they used to (which takes MORE time, not less)…or they still turn to books…after they’ve wasted hours trying to do it themselves, and failing.
Those few of us who still use libraries and librarians know: Library 2.0 rocks, and a librarian that really knows how to use google, and approach it well, is still a rare and vital thing which will save you time and angst.
February 6th, 2008 at 11:50 am
The first one is lame im tired of myspace t-shirts. I like the 2nd on number 9 there are only 10 types of people in this world…
February 6th, 2008 at 12:40 pm
I’ll prove the geekness and gayness of EVERYONE who just had to take the time to impress us with their IEEE knowledge…
…Nice rack on the librarian shirt
February 6th, 2008 at 12:50 pm
I see dead pixels … lmao

February 6th, 2008 at 1:41 pm
gee, there sure are alot of nerds out there…scary!
February 9th, 2008 at 5:41 am
Really nice, especialy librarian
April 15th, 2008 at 2:25 pm
Wish the librarians I’ve dealt with in the past would’ve had a rack like that!
August 19th, 2008 at 8:53 am
For me the classic funny geek t-shirt of all time is Geek Orthodox — need I say more : )
