A Tale of Two Shirts


Tonight I went to dinner with a good friend who works for a major entertainment company.  Without any coordination we both ended up wearing company shirts, but that’s wear the similarities stopped.

Both shirts were free for volunteering.  I received my shirt to wear at an all day college recruiting event including an info session the night before, while he received his shirt for volunteering a couple hours at a local high school. 

Both shirts had our respective company logo.  My shirt had a screen print with a thick rubber bright white logo that made the shirt heavy and hot.  His shirt had a multicolored embroidered on the left chest and additional stitching on the sleeve.

My shirt was 100% cotton, however it was not pre-shrunk.  His shirt has a preshrunk breathable cotton mesh. 

My shirt was a unisex one-size fits all, while his shirt was sized appropriately for him and he claims they came in multiple sizes including women sizes. 

My shirt received no comments from the waitress while his shirt initiated a 5 minute conversation about the company he works for and how cool his job was. 

Because something as simple as a free shirt reminds me I work at the Shitshow, I throw rocks.
