This week for a regular installment of the top blogs of the week we wanted to bring you something slightly
different.  Something will a little more bark and bite.  That’s why this week’s edition features the top animal, bird, and insect shirts of the week. Here’s what we came up with:

Top 5 Wolf Shirts from Thunderfrogs
It should come as no surprise that a blog title like that would make the cut.  Our favorite is the wolf in nun’s clothing!

A Raccoon with an Umbrella (and a fish!) from Hide Your Arms
The title pretty much says it all.  This shirt features an anthropomorphized raccoon holding an umbrella, and strangely enough a fish.  This shirt makes the cut on the ‘huh?’ factor alone!

The Great Escape from T-Shirt Guru
There have been a ton of shirts featuring magicians and rabbits or birds, but this is the first one quite like this I’ve seen.  Very creative!

New Electric Zombie Line from T-Shirts Around The Internet.
Here’s a shirt ideal for the Halloween season.  It features a murderous looking, demented cat, plenty of bats, a chainsaw and flying brain and random other goodies.  What more do you need?

Black Crows from The Daily Tee
This blog title is something of a misnomer.  The shirt in question actually features a single VERY large yellow and red bird.  Check it out.

New Tees at SplitReason from Buy-Tees.net
OK, I know a couple of spots up I was talking about chainsaws and flying brains, but this shirt actually
gets my vote as creepiest of the week.  It features a well-dressed woman standing in the rain with an
umbrella…evidently walking her massive, drooling spider.  Maybe it’s just my aversion to arachnids, but this one freaks me out!

Jimiyo Shirt on Tee Fury from The T-Shirt Review
Another great bird shirt.  Exquisite detail and very well-executed!

Horse, of course from Shirtlog
This one features a horse of course.  A large, running yellow horse on a purple background.

Uneetee: $13 fall sale from Shirts On Sale
So a zebra in a barcode isn’t a completely original concept.  However, it is very well-executed in this case and the idea, rather original or not, is still amusing.

New premium tees from Upper Playground from The Fat Seagull
I’m not completely certain what this cute little guy is.  I think he’s a baby deer (fawn?), but he appears to have stepped in something unpleasant.  Regardless of what exactly is going on, it’s a very appealing Tee.

Cryptozoology from Cottonable
It would be difficult to leave out this excellent blog post from Cottonable considering that the subject of the post is that the company SquidFire has just released a whole line of animal themed T-shirts. The one featured, Cryptozoology, is really terrific and depicts some of the most famous FICTIONAL animals around.

Brand Profile: Six Foot Owl from Clothing Wire
As one would expect a brand called ’six foot owl’ features some pretty great owl t-shirts.  My favorite
is the oversized owl print on the black shirt in the guys’ section.  Check it out.

Butterfly from BuyThisTShirt.org
A very simple shirt with a very well designed, sharp looking butterfly.  What’s not to love?

New Shirt Monday at Threadless from Compete-tee-tion
This is another fantastic blog which practically epitomizes this week’s theme.  Let’s see we have bubblegum blowing birds, a killed lawn flamingo, and a shirt about bear hugs.  If that weren’t enough this post also features my two new favorite animal design shirts ‘Search and Rescue’ and ‘Beastly Planet’.

Recently we came across a pretty cool site called Bear Annihilator.  All the shirts on the site feature an angry looking bear in an array of different situations.  The shirts are printed on American Apparel.

Our favorite is called Astrobear.  Check this fella out:

The understated product description simply says “One giant leap for bearkind.”  I’ll say!  How would you like to be an alien out for a relaxing stroll and come across this guy?

We’re looking forward to seeing this grizzly mug in still more scenarios.  Keep up the good work Bear Annihilator!

It’s once again time for our regular feature of the top blogs of the week.  Thanks to TeeReader, a new site that tracks t-shirt blogs, this week saw the addition of several new faces.  We hope you enjoy!

10 funny I-do-something tees from 10tees
This blog specializes in collecting lists of 10 tees for a various feature.  Their funny t-shirt collection is great!

Brand Profile: Mediocore Clothing from Clothing Wire
This is a very insightful and interesting profile on a great line.  Thanks Clothing Wire.

I Won’t Lower My Standards from Teecycle
Once again we couldn’t resist throwing in a blog about a funny text print shirt.  Good find, Teecycle!

Branding: The Linty Fresh Experience
This blog provides an excellent resource for people wishing to start their own clothing company and this particular entry does an excellent job highlighting Linty Fresh as an example.

Bar Treking Star Trek Parody from Tcritic
Whether you enjoy star Trek or simply get a kick out of parody shirts you’re sure to enjoy this blog!

Things Cafepress Needs to Offer Shopkeepers from TShirt Entrepreneur
This is a great list of useful suggestions that Cafepress would do well to consider!

Just a Reminder: Vote, Please! from T-Shirt Watch
This shirt probably won’t go as viral as the ever referenced ‘Vote or Die’ t-shirt, but it still expresses a timely reminder in a great style!

Too Orangey For Crows from TeeJunkie
This blog features a really fantastic looking shirt and it’s very amusing and informative to read!

Have Airport Codes - Will Travel from Rumplo
Rumplo said it best when they said, “these tees certainly make their respective cities feel like the best towns anywhere. Simple, Charming, [and] elegant.”

How many Emptees Members does it take to make a shirt? from Hide Your Arms
This isn’t just the set up of a joke; it’s actually the beginning of a blog feature of a terrific, seasonal shirt worth checking out.

Birds of Spray from The Daily Tee
An amusing pun and a terrific graffiti style t-shirt that plays tricks on the eyes…what’s not to love?

New Tees at Allmightys from Fantastic Blognanza
As you might have guessed this blog points the readers toward some new tees over at Allmightys.  They’re worth checking out!

Where the Clouds Came Out from Pop Culture Tees
Wow!  This is a fantastic and trippy design that’s both a joy and a mind puzzle to look at (or maybe I’m just easily amused).

Bedo from Color Overload
Apart from the mildly offensive but still amusing ‘Street Sweeper’ design what’s not to love about Bedo’s designs?

2 new Zoo York tees at The Urban Shop from The Fat Seagull
These two shirts are absolutely gorgeous and have an amazing amount of detail.  Great find, Fat Seagull!

We found this creative shirt over at Uneetee:

Based on the pictures, it looks like this tee design starts on the front and wraps around to the back, which is a pretty cool way to print it if that is the case.

Designs like this always make me ask questions.  For example is the space person spraying the flowers with color because they would otherwise be in black and white OR is it such that these already colorful flower require colorful water/liquid to grow properly?  Of course the big question is why it’s a spaceperson spraying them at all.  Of course I’m probably missing the whole point by over-analyzing.  In any case, check out the t-shirt.

We have been a fan of Shirt.Woot! for quite some time and we are way overdue for showing them some t-shirt love. We found this amusing shirt over at Shirt.Woot! it’s called ‘The Weekend of the Spheres’:

As always half the pleasure of a Shirt.Woot! shirt comes in the reading of the accompanying write up, so don’t miss it.

The concept is that the planets have to keep their moons and other spheres in check lest they wonder off or get into any other trouble.  All those leashes and the harried expression on the planet’s face will definitely resonate with owners of multiple pets (or children!).

We’ve found another cool, seasonally themed t-shirt coming from Threadless:

This is definitely a fun shirt.  The idea of a skateboarding mummy is really amusing, and hey, if he whipes out and gets a few scrapes he’s already all bandaged up.  Definitely a great selection if you’re looking for a lighter spirited Halloween shirt.
