It is a Mandrill. My Avatar is a Baboon. A baboon has giant fangs and is the most violent and vicious of primates. It can rip a Gazelle to shreds.

I’ll second that. I’d buy a polo shirt or two.

A denim “work” shirt would be cool, with the Testosterone logo above the pocket.
it’s kind of like fight club. you see another guy wearing a “T” shirt, and you can just nod and understand what others never can. if someone ever questions me about it in an accusational manor without even knowing me, i’ll probably say, “you’re not your fu**in khakis”.

I never realized that before. I always took a quick look and just thought it was a wolf. Now upon closer inspection…cool

He’s almost more excited about this than I am. 
Once I get great lookin’ abs I’ll chop a shirt up and see what kind of comments I can get.
Well, I’m in high school, so I always answer a lot of “What does that stand for?” Questions, of course i have to explain myself. Also, people think that it automatically means I’m taking steroids, so they go into stupid steroids jokes… at least until they realize they piss me off… then they dont talk much anymore ; ) But yeh, it’s pretty much my favorite shirt to wear, lol, and I dont mind answering people’s questions to tell them about everything this site has done for me personally (new routines, different diet strategies, ect.)

I am kinda new to this site and love it so I was thinking of getting the T-Nation symbol on my arm. What do ya think?

Yeah, I feel the same way. I just get weird looks from people when I explain those shirts. At least with “Testosterone” they’re too afraid of me to make weird looks. Because, who knows, if I have it on my chest, I must be on steroids, and ALL men on steroids have roid rage!
I still have my Biotest T-shirt. Bring it back, the blue color rocks. Too many black shirts… isn’t this website black enough as it is without its T-shirts being the same way?
I have a MAG-10 shirt, too. I just tell people that it’s a pro-steroid that was banned by the FDA, so basically, I have something illegal on my chest as a statement. I think it’s cooler than those sissy T-shirts of marijuana leaves.

People (women especially) tend to look at it as if the shirt says “FUCK”
What do you mean by that? Are they totally repulsed by it?

Yes. Even my gf’s mother who knows my lifting history and KNOWS what the shirt means, still stares at it. Somehow, Test got to be a dirty word.
On another note…the other day I wore the red tribal design T and about 10 people asked what “TC” or “TS” meant…one guy thought it was a Twisted Sister shirt.
Being an exercise science major, I enjoy wearing my Testosterone t-shirt to classes as occasionally we’ll be talking about hormones and the teacher will inevitably point out my t-shirt to the rest of the class and they turn and see me, a 220 lb ex-jewish kid from new york who squats, deadlifts, benches and doesn’t care how hot his abs look but is content in knowing that he is strong…I love that…

How do you get to be ex-jewish? I thought only catholics did that.
I wore my Testosterone T-shirt to the gym, and several people said, “Shouldn’t that say estrogen?”
I wanted to smack them! 
(yes, I’m a female)
One day, my boss, (a female) told me that the next day was ‘casual friday’ so wear something ‘casual’. So I told her about my Testosterone t-shirt… and she said DON’T wear it. So I said why not? Testosterone is made by my body! She said… well SHIT is made by my body, but you don’t see me wearin’ a shirt that says ‘SHIT’.
My dad loved the shirt though. So I bought one for him. He wears it all the time.

Through a strange timing in my orders of Alpha Male, I have three A.M. tees. Every time I wear them to the gym, I get rolling eyes from the “Lightbulb Guy Who Needs a Spot on His Smith Machine Bench Press Which Never Seems to Get Heavier,” the “I Don’t Want to Get Too Bulky DB Bencher,” the assorted old (as in post-retirement and near-retirement) Southern Gentlepersons (the kind who worship Bush as Jesus come again, who hate them colored people, and are generally in my space), and the “Kinda Pretty but Too Skinny Desk Girl.”
[^^^Best Run-On Sentence EVER^^^]
The looks are especially fulfilling when I have on my “Pow” pajama pants. It’s always interesting to see the reaction to a compact 192lbs in an Alpha Male shirt and comic-book inspired pants with an MP3 attached to arm deadlifting 3/4 of the plates from the tree.
The Red Tribal gets some looks, but no one’s dared comment on it or the Alpha Male shirt to my face.
I dunno why. I’m a nice enough guy.
I’ve had nothing but positive comments while wearing my Testosterone T-shirt, mostly by women… “I really like your shirt” …occasionally by men, …“Cool shirt dude”.
The first few times I was relatively surprised cuz it is the ONLY shirt I’ve ever worn that elicits attention like that. I usually wear it when I take my wife out dancing at the bar and she thinks its great that the chicks like it (me too?). She actually encourages me to wear it! (Look, she knows she’s got me good… she aint worried… besides it turns her on a little knowing these other chicks… ummmmm… like my shirt…)
I wore mine for the first time in a long while to the gym the other day. I was getting weird looks from everyone. One person liked it and asked where I got it. Most of the people just looked and stared at me. They probably think that because I wear a shirt that says Testosterone that means I’m actually on steroids.
I get some positive responses and some negatives. Some females ask me if they come in “Estrogen.” On more than one occasion, a girl (drunk most likely) has simply screamed out “TESTOSTERONI.” I just scream back “Its not a goddamn pasta dish!”

This thread brings a few things I wanted to ask but always forget to the front of my mind. For TC or Shugs, how about some different colors or something? I mean I could wear a few Testosterone shirts a week, but would end up looking like a tool wearing the same t-shirt over and over, plus it might start to smell. How about a nice medium blue, a grey, and a red. I also have the red and black tribals, but don’t get anywhere near the response I get from the big yellow “testosterone”.
I would also like an Alpha Male shirt and other merchandise, like those ballcaps you were talking about. How about some black Testosterone army boots? Ok just kidding about the army bots, but I really enjoy wearing this stuff.

Great IDEA!
Make up a whole line of Testosterone gear. Shirt (color) variations , shorts, pants, hats, coffee mugs, bumper stickers, and maybe some T-Vixen merchandise.
