| Dressage t-shirts: A tough sell (and a giveaway!) Posted: 14 Feb 2011 12:44 PM PST I love the shirt I found ( behindthebit.spreadshirt.com) and blogged about yesterday. That said, it's hard to find really good, clever dressage t-shirts, and the shirt to my right proves it. It's from Zazzle.com, a company that posts shirts that anyone with an account can design. Dressage t-shirts messages seem to always be have one or several of these elements. - Verbiage about being perfectionist, perfect, achieving perfection -- sorry, they just seem a little smug.
- The horses are doing upper level movements, and maybe the verbiage suggests the wearer does upper level movements. I've never done so much as a half-pass. Don't think I'd be fooling anyone!
- General snootiness, like here, or here.
- Awkwardness -- like what we see on the right. Hardly pithy, is it?
- Some are a little too naughty.
So, if I make up my own t-shirt for my own brand of riding, I can hardly do worse. Here are my off the top of the head thoughts/ideas on a t-shirt: - To be worn riding at home: This is what dressage on a budget looks like
- For horse shows: Whinnying is everything
- For riding Riley: Chestnut is the new black
- For riding Harv: Retirement: Let the grazing begin
Hey, what ideas do you have for a dressage shirt/message shirt? The best shirt idea will win one of the spreadshirt tees that I blogged abou yesterday...  |
