T-shirt question
 

I bought this awesome tmnt shirt the other night. It actually looked like it came out of the comic and not any of the tv shows, which is why I got it. My question is this: it says "represent" across it, what does that mean? Represent what?anybody know?

Re: T-shirt question
 

It's a pop-culture phrase - "Represent" is used a little like the word is normally used in conversation. Example:
Two guys in Los Angeles meet at a convention. One asks the other where he's from.
"I'm from Chicago."
"Oh yeah? I'm also from Chicago."
"Woo, Chicago! Represent."

In terms of that t-shirt, the Turtles are representing the awesomeness that is TMNT. It's hard to explain, I guess. :embarass:

Oh god another Hot Topic shirt....a moron at my school bought that shirt and wears it all the time because he thinks it makes him look cool. I laugh at him all the time because he doesnt even like Ninja Turtles. Go di hate Hot Topic its the ultimate poser store

I've never liked that shirt. It's overly 'aged', and it makes the Turtles look downright creepy. :dead:

My girlfriend got that shirt for me. I love it...its classic TMNT!

And yeah I hate how just because people see something at Hot Topic for instance, they have to buy it even if they don't like it. There was this girl at my school that was wearing a TMNT shirt. It was from the old cartoon by the way. And I went up to her and asked her if she saw the new show and she said she hated it, and then I said if she ever read the comics, and she had no idea that there even were comics. I hate it when people wear that stuff when they have no idea or don't even really like it. They just wear it because they think it is "vintage".

mmmmmm, i one time saw someone wearing a old faded turtle shirt of the old TV show, it might of had reprasent on it.

Yeah I have that Represent shirt from Hot Topic!! LOL

This isn't the hot topic shirt. I got this from kohl's, i don't know if it's a national chain store. It wasn't from the cartoon either, it was out of a comic. it looks like some of lawson's old work
anyway thanks for help everybody, i didn't want to go and wear it until i knew what it meant

Yeah but Hot Topic sells them too. That's where I got mine! It looks old school too!

I didn't know Kohl's sold that stuff too. I haven't been there for ten years, besides. ^^;
I got my new Ninja Turtle threads at 80stees.com. Once I saw the one with "Splinter's Dojo" on the front, I had to have it. I love my Turtles tees.

LOL I didn't buy that one! I have tons of TMNT Shirts...but mostly now all new toon and whatever i bought at Hot Topic.

:P

They should make a 'Benvenuto' T-shirt. 8)

I wish! :P

I can't find any TMNT shirts at my Hot Topic it sucks :( The one TMNT shirt I do have I got on 80tees. I love that shirt it rocks my socks :P

Actually, the Kohl's one is a bit different, I believe. I've seen both, and the Kohl's one isn't as aged, and has a different picture, if I recall correctly.

This is the "Represent" t-shirt that I've seen at Hot Topic and is listed on 80stees.com.

Is this one different than the one you found at Kohl's?
