Three Wolf Moon T Shirt
From LoveToKnow Men's Fashion
There are moments in history when a symbol or an item becomes iconic; the Three Wolf Moon t shirt may be at that moment.
The Three Wolf Moon T-Shirt
T shirts are a staple of any wardrobe; it's what you reach for when you want to feel more comfortable, when running errands, or when moving house. That said, however, very few t shirts are iconic. Much like the "smiley face" t shirt, forever apart of our cultural consciousness, and immortalized in the blockbuster smash Forrest Gump, the Three Wolf Moon T shirt, is inching towards that kind of stratosphere popularity.
The t shirt itself is seemingly simple enough. It's a black t shirt that features three wolves howling at a full moon. In the background one can make out an image that looks like the Aurora Borealis and a smattering of souls. The question is, why is it evoking such a powerful response?
The Popularity of the Shirt
The answer to that is two-fold. First, it taps into the unconscious self, as well as to what Carl Jung termed the "collective unconscious", the one that is ever connected to the "call" and rhythm of nature, as well as the gossamer threads that connect us to one another. Jung studied and spoke extensively about symbols and the powerful impact they have upon the observer. The popularity of the Three Wolf Moon T -shirt is clear evidence of this phenomenon.
The other side of the shirt's popularity contains the second clue; reviews that get noticed! In fact, thanks in no small part to customer posts and snarky reviews, the shirt has grown exponentially in both popularity and sales. According to the Chicago Tribune, posts that caught eye include:
- Whenever I wear the wolf shirt I have a lot less issues with involuntary urination. I have not studied it long enough, however to establish a cause/effect relationship.
- Once…while wearing the wolf shirt, I was mistaken for Schneider, the building superintendent in One Day at a Time.
Interestingly enough, there is not one, but three news stories done on the popularity of the wolf T shirt (the other was done by ABC News and the Washington Post). With that kind of press, it's easy to see that this shirt is making quite an impact!
Purchasing The Shirt Itself
When it comes to purchasing, you have several options. Consider:
- Equine Addicts: This site is very good if you are searching for the wolf T shirt for children. This hand-dyed shirt is made of "earth-friendly", water-based inks and is free of chemicals that would otherwise be harmful to the body. Available for $9.95. Additionally, you can also find children's shirts at Enchanted T-Shirts. However, the shirt available here is a bit more expensive at $12.99.
- Mirror of Time: You'll really like this site because you can find a wide range of sizes here for the entire family (many of the sites only offer sizes for children, or men, but not both).
Additionally, Mirror of Time also has small sizes (36-38), so women won't feel left out of the mix;, now they don't have to sport abnormally large sizes, unless they wish too. You can purchase this shirt here for $13.99.
- Amazon.com: Amazon also has a wide array of shirt sizes, including those for children and men.
However, while the "men" sizes are explicitly spelled out, those for women are not. If you are a woman, you'll have to assume that the sizes "small", "medium" and "large", are meant for you (even though the word "women" is not spelled out in front of the size, unlike the "men's" collection). Prices range from $11.00 to $19.99.
About the Shirt's Creator
After seeing the amazing visual power of this T shirt, you may be interested in the shirt's creator, Antonia Neshev. Originally born in Sofia, Bulgaria, Ms. Neshev came to the U.S in 1996 where she now lives.
Her website, Antonia Fine Art.com, is a wonderful site to explore because you get to see some of her other works of art. Additionally, Ms. Neshev also has her resume posted, so those seeking to learn more about her professional background have the opportunity to do just that.
Putting It All Together
