T-shirt, There’s an ADE for that. (heather blue, c. 2014)

This heather blue t-shirt was given to Apple Distinguished Educators and features the phrase “There’s an ADE for that.” printed on the front centered in white text in the Apple Myriad font. The left sleeve features the Apple Distinguished Educator logo.

The featured phrase is a reference to the Apple ad campaign, “There’s an app for that.” The tagline was first used in a 2009 TV commercial for the iPhone 3G that depicts a user scrolling across iPhone screens selecting various apps for specific tasks. In 2010 Apple was awarded a trademark for the phrase.

The Apple Distinguished Educator program co-opted the phrase to describe and showcase the diversity, knowledge, and expertise brought by the members of the ADE program.

This shirt was made in Vietnam for District Threads. The size is 2XL.

T-shirt, The new iPod. (black, 2003)

This is a rare example of a dated Apple t-shirt created to celebrate the release of “The new iPod” (the iPod Generation 3) on May 2, 2003. Apple Store employees wore this t-shirt during the in-store release of the new iPod, and store visitors were given posters to commemorate the device’s release.

The front of the black t-shirt features a simple line drawing of the iPod Generation 3 that highlights its scroll wheel and four buttons under the LCD screen: back, MENU, play/pause, and forward. The screen shows the Apple logo.

The back of the shirt includes the stylized type “LIVE ON STAGE 5.2.03” in large size in the top-center, and adds a line of smaller text at the bottom-center of the shirt that reads “The new iPod. More than 7500 songs in your pocket.”

The t-shirt tag indicates it is a Hanes Beefy-T brand made from 100% cotton in size ADULT 2XL. It was made in Honduras.

T-shirt, multi-color Apple logotype (black, c. 1995)

This t-shirt is black and features a large multicolor Apple logotype in the Apple Garamond font, the corporate font used from approximately 1984–2003. Each letter of the logotype is a different color: neon green, salmon, bright yellow, bright blue, and hot pink. The colors do not match the multicolor Apple logo in use at the time.

The t-shirt tag indicates it is a Hanes Beefy-T brand made from 100% cotton in size ADULT L. It was made in the U.S.A. The back of the shirt includes no Apple markings.

A variant of this t-shirt design was reintroduced in approximately 2018 and sold in the Visitor Center Apple Store in Apple Park (Cupertino, CA). The “retro” design featured a smaller logotype and used colors that match the classic multicolor Apple logo.

This t-shirt is black with a four-part design on the front. It has the words “iPod Genius” in lime green in the center. White silhouettes of original iPod earbuds on wires are printed on the shoulders, as though the wearer pulled the earbuds from their ears and let them rest on their shoulders.

T-shirt, Hello, I’m a Mac. (blue, white logo, c. 2007)

This t-shirt is royal blue and features the words, “Hello, I’m a Mac.” front and center.

The t-shirt is a reference to an Apple ad campaign that ran from 2006–2009 titled “Get a Mac.” Television commercials and print ads featured two actors, Justin Long as “Mac” and comedian John Hodgman as “PC,” against an all-white background. Wikipedia describes the ads:

“The two…act out a brief vignette, in which the capabilities and attributes of Mac and PC are compared, with PC—characterized as formal and somewhat polite, though uninteresting and overly concerned with work—often being frustrated by the more laid-back Mac’s abilities. The earlier commercials in the campaign involved a general comparison of the two computers, whereas the later ones mainly concerned Windows Vista and Windows 7.”

Each ad uses the same soundtrack, “Having Trouble Sneezing,” by Mark Mothersbaugh. About 80 ads were produced for TV and the web.

The t-shirt tag indicates it is a Hanes Beefy-T brand made from 100% cotton in size 3XL. It was made in El Salvador. The back of the t-shirt features a white Apple logo at the top-center.

I purchased this shirt from the Apple Company Store at 1 Infinite Loop (Cupertino, CA) in approximately 2007.
