Although the Springfield University logo appears in a few episodes, it caught my eye in “Faith Off” which is episode 11 from season 11. Overall it’s not a highly memorable episode, Bart becomes a faith healer and there’s a college football game of some sorts. But I did always find the idea of an ice pick with a laser sight for accuracy somewhat hilarious.
As embarrassing as it is to admin this, I cannot for the life of me recall which episode this I love Krusty shirt comes from. I thought it might be from season 1 episode 12 “Krusty Gets Busted” but flipping through the episode the designs look different from the one I made. Oh well.
These two designs are from episode 8 from season 20 called “Members Only”. I can’t really remember whats in it, I just took a screenshot of the shirts Eric and Heidi wear. That’s basically it. Maybe you and your significant other that both love South Park might enjoy it as couples attire.
This shirt comes from season 5 episode 5 “Treehouse of Horror IV” specifically the short “Terror at 5 and a half feet”. The Treehouse of Horror episodes have always been among my favourite episodes as they spoofed some great classic tales and gave the writers some creative freedom as the shorts are not canon to the Simpsons universe. This specific short mimics The Twilight Zone’s “Nightmare at 20,000 feet” which was originally released back in 1963 and starred William Shatner. Interestingly enough, the Twilight Zone episode is based on a short story written in 1961. But anyways before I go too far down that rabbit hole, in the episode Martin is shown wearing a “Wang Computers” shirt. As hilarious as that company name is, it was an actual electronics company founded in 1951. It attempted to compete with IBM, essentially lost, and was absorbed by a Dutch company in the 90s. But again, that’s not a rabbit hole I’ll go any further down for now.
In episode 5 from season 28, Homer listens to his ambition. Which is a mini Homer that lives in his head. Naturally his lifespan is short lived and dies by the end of the episode. But his ambition wears a sweatshirt with a big A on it so I decided to make it a design. I really didn’t watch this episode, but the short version is Krusty launches a new food product, Kent loses his job, and Lisa helps Kent get it back by exposing the ingredients in said food product. The main thing that stood out to me is that this episode is called “Trust but Clarify” which is an old Russian proverb that is noted in HBO’s “Chernobyl” mini series.
This one is from season 9 episode 19 called “Simpson Tide”. Homer gets fired from his job (surprise surprise) and enlists in the navy. Eventually his group goes on a training exercise to simulate an enemy threat, and while it’s glossed over, he essentially kills his commanding officer which leads to him being captain of a submarine. My personal favourite part of this episode is Homer’s smug expression when he’s on trial for eating the population of the planet of the doughnuts. If that seemed out of left field it’s because it’s Homer’s dream sequence at the beginning of the episode which is entirely unrelated.
Another simple design that’s not from a specific episode as Radioactive Man appears in multiple episodes on the show. Radioactive man is a comicbook superhero in the series and Bart’s idol for the most part. Usually accompanied by Fallout Boy fighting crime and whatnot. That’s all.
Can’t really describe a specific episode this appears from as the Sub Hub chain appears in a few over the seasons of American Dad. When I originally made this I couldn’t find a good close up of the logo, so I made it more ‘clean’ but many months later I saw that the logo was purposely drawn a bit warped. But I’m too lazy to back and change it so maybe some time down the road I’ll revisit it.
The beloved Springfield Isotopes are a local baseball team that appear in various episodes and I’m honestly not sure exactly which episode I got the logo from, however it’s a fairly standard design so meh. Either way you can wear your support for the fictional team with this!
This design comes from season 10 episode 2 called “The Wizard of Evergreen Terrace”. Despite accomplishing much more than most people will in their lifetime, Homer has a crisis that he’s wasted his life. He becomes a bit depressed, then learns of Thomas Edison the inventor. In an attempt to living a fulfilled and meaningful life (again, despite a massive amount of achievements by this point) he follows Edison’s footsteps and tries his hand at being an inventor. When walking through the souvenir shop at the Edison Museum a shirt in the background is shown saying “Screw this” which I thought would make a perfect addition to my shop given my attitude towards most things in life.
