One thing all people have in common is that we all wear clothes. But that’s where the similarities end. In the modern world, the choice of clothing is so broad that every single person can find the pieces that feel the most like them and fit their lifestyle. 

For some, dressy, modest clothes are the go-to. Others opt for more out-there designs, like odd T-shirts. That’s what this list is about—weird shirt designs that people have “caught in the wild.” So, let’s go, but keep in mind that some folks have a strange understanding of what is funny or fashionable.

    While the saying that fashion is a personal choice is quite common, it should also be noted that this personal choice is usually influenced by certain factors. It reflects personal taste, gender, cultural (and/or religious) background, and values. So, through their clothes, people can basically express who they are.

    In fact, fashion is one of the most common ways people express themselves. For that, some people opt for luxury items. Some rely on them due to their quality, while others for their name and high-level status. Either way, the most important part is that they use them to construct their identities.

    Luxury fashion isn’t the only way to go about this. Another option out of many others are graphic tees. This piece of clothing originated in the 1950s and has undergone quite an evolution

    The idea started with a simple white T-shirt being accepted as casual wear (partially thanks to James Dean). Then, it was used to express political statements and marketing ideas, and to indicate pop culture taste. The latter, joined with other items, created a whole “subgenre” of merchandise. Now, seemingly every (even slightly) popular person or company has their own merch

    At the same time, not all pictures on graphic tees have to represent something or someone. Nowadays, many graphic designers like to put their creations on them, to show their art, or stores simply might put some kind of image that would catch a customer's eye, making them want to buy them. 

    Then there are novelty T-shirts. Typically, these tees feature unusual and funny (or not-so-funny, depending on your sense of humor) designs. They range from pretty amusing ones to odd and even problematic ones.

    On this list, you will see plenty of examples of these graphic tees. The pictures came from an Instagram page called “weird shirts ok,” which currently has over 8K followers. As the name suggests, these T-shirts are actually quite odd and show how different people understand humor and fashion. 

    Maybe the oddness of shirts like these is the reason why some consider all graphic tees to be immature pieces of clothing. After all, someone wearing a shirt with a phrase or picture that's in poor taste doesn’t give other tees the best reputation.

    Well, if you don’t want to throw away all the graphic T-shirts in your wardrobe, there are some ways to incorporate them into “proper” fashion. For instance, wearing abstract, minimal designs instead of logos; wearing shirts with one word written instead of whole sentences (as they can be cringy at times), and so on. 

    At the same time, even if the graphic tees that are considered to be immature or too “out there” are to your taste, you shouldn’t feel like you can’t wear them. Only you know the proper time to—or not to—wear them in formal settings, but sometimes it's better to save them for more casual gatherings. 

    As we said in the beginning, fashion is to each their own. Still, that doesn't mean we can’t be entertained by weird T-shirts, like the ones on this list. So, let’s do that, and let’s not forget to upvote, too!

    Funny thing, I have seen the same quote - with the same attribution - but with the subject 'Women', not 'Beer'. Of course, thinking about Franklin, both could be historically accurate.

    Yes, yes I was. Do I regret it? Well I have a 4ft. box in my garage full of them and they have not increased in value. Do my children that I hunted these for want them? No, not at all.

    Nice; looks like maybe a 400- or 500-series. Quite likely one of the old two-cylinder 'Johnny Poppers'.
