"Braking Needs Work" Men’s Oversized Heavyweight Crewneck T-Shirt

The word Braking does most of the talking here, set in heavy slanted block capitals that climb from lower left to upper right and stand about twice as tall as the line beneath it, Needs Work. The letters are filled in a chalky cream that has been chipped and speckled as if scraped along asphalt, each one edged in thin dark navy and pushed forward by a red-orange shadow dropping down and to the right. On this men’s oversized heavyweight crewneck tee the lettering runs wide enough that the skater below reads as its punchline: seen from behind, crouched low on the board, one arm flung out to the left for balance and the back foot dragging flat on the ground. His dark perforated helmet nudges up into the bottom of the K, so the figure and the words share one space. A broad navy brushstroke loops out to the left and curls back under the wheels, the skid he has just drawn, with grit dots sprayed off the dragging shoe.

The cream of his halftone-shaded tee matches the letters, and the navy of his trousers matches the skid, so three colours carry the whole joke. It suits anyone who skates better than they stop, and makes an easy gift for the friend still learning to footbrake.
