Geek and not chic.

Agreed. Not that there's anything particularly wrong with that mind.

Geek.

Geek chic is all bowties, glasses, waistcoats, cardigans and so on...

All you need is “I love Android” on the back.

Way too geeky, and I say that as someone who owns a t-shirt with a Triforce on it.

Where did you get the Triforce tshirt from? Might be a good shirt to wear at work when doing dress down stuff (I'm known for using Zelda text tones...)

Quite geeky but it's only a t-shirt.. now if it was pink...

I have an Android phone and I like it.

I cant think of anything more lame than wearing an Android Tshirt.

Its in no way geek chic. I thought geek chic was wearing geeky clothes but as part of a fashionable ensemble. Geeky t-shirts on their own are never geek chic.

To anybody in the street (and me, actually, until I saw the Android comments), it's just a robot.

Great way to keep your virginity.

It's a fair point, actually. The only people who will think it's lame are those who know what it is, which is just as damning for them.

I've had my Triforce t-shirt recognised once. My Umbrella Corporation one gets recognised occasionally. My Cyberdyne t-shirt is recognised very rarely. No one ever gets my Weyland Yutani t-shirt.

If you own an android phone then you will know what it is, its the boot up splash screen as well as other places, it has a decent market share as well.

Ah, is it displayed on the phone? I thought it was just a mascot they used, didn't realise it was on the phone.

That changes things.

Most people wouldn't have a clue even if they own an android phone, hence why the tshirt is geek

But you might be attracting members of the wrong sex.

My butt virginity is sacred.

Have a t-shirt made with these on:

You'll be an instant hit.

Geek chic is a term used exclusively by geeks to try to pretend that their fashion sense is anything other than utterly dreadful.

You may as well have a t-shirt saying "Hey Ladies, don't **** me"

I have two android phones and that in itself is geektastic.

Tefal · 15 Dec 2010 at 20:36

But if most people don't know what the hell it is to them it's just a shirt with a funny robot on it.

The lady would have to know it's an android logo to make that call.
