T-shirt: Junior Massive's Not-Necessarily-the-Tetris
Possibly the most legitimately fashion-conscious T-shirts (as opposed to, you know, like, the usual nerd shirts) featured here since Imperial Junkies' back in January, Australia's upstart Junior Massive label offers this Tetris tee for both men and women.
You can tell it's more about The Look than The Game, because of all the infuriating one/two/three/five block shapes, which I'm sure has more than a few of you squirming in your seats. [via Cool Hunting, via Gus]

And the second most bottom line should be cleared...

If they didn't have the non-tetris blocks and that line was cleared, I'd buy it. >.>

Great reverse messaging here:
Company thinks: geek chic!
Geeks think: no-one involved in the production of this shirt has ever played tetris, that most geeky and hardcore of all games.
I got a Disney T shirt with Goofy on and Rock N Rolla written in Japanese on it. Except one of the kana was completely the wrong way round.
Intended message: I'm so international, look, I even understand Japanese!
Actual message: I don't understand Japanese!
When I design I'm OCD about details. Is it just me?

The line that should've cleared, I totally agree with. But the two and five block pieces - well, they're just parts left over from other blocks that have been partially cleared, right?

I was thinking that this was to avoid copyright infringement (or something) because the piece being dropped is so obviously not made of four blocks.
But then they call them Tetris Shirts. So I don't know what to believe. Maybe in the southern hemisphere, tetrominoes have more pieces. And maybe the entire game is somehow played backwards, which explains the uncleared row.

I went from "I need this shirt" to "What the hell were they thinking" in the space of about a millisecond when I noticed the five squares in the falling block.
