T-shirt, [Mac OS] X (white, 2001)

This white Mac OS X t-shirt is unopened and sealed in its original packaging. The shirt features a large blue X on the front stylized in Apple’s “Aqua” design language—translucent bright blue with a glossy finish. The style matched the translucent iMac at the time, and the style was used in the then-new Mac OS X operating system.

The back of this t-shirt uses black lettering in the Apple Garamond font with the phrase, “Coming to a Macintosh near you.” In smaller type below is a black Apple logo with the tagline “Think different.”

The t-shirt tag indicates it is a Hanes Beefy-T brand made from 100% preshrunk cotton in size ADULT L. It was made in the U.S.A. and assembled in Mexico.

Although this shirt is unopened in plastic wrapping, I was able to verify the back design on eBay. (The back text is partially visible through the fabric.)

T-shirt, 1 Infinite Loop (black, c. 2013)

This black t-shirt features a unique infinity-symbol logo made from a line of text that repeats “Apple Campus, 1 Infinite Loop, Cupertino, CA” three times.

The shirt does not have a tag, but is printed with the size 2XL and “Made in USA.” The size is stylized in the Apple Myriad font with a rounded-rectangle border, the same design used to indicate the storage size of various iPod and iPhone models.

This t-shirt has not been worn and includes its tag from The Company Store, a store on the Apple Campus at 1 Infinite Loop that resembles an Apple Store, but includes Apple logo retail items such as t-shirts and mugs.

T-shirt, Cupertino. 859 miles and 180º from Redmond. (light blue, c. 2010)

This light blue t-shirt features the words, “Cupertino. 859 miles and 180º from Redmond.” on the front center printed in white in the Apple Myriad font.

The shirt is a reference to Microsoft. The Microsoft headquarters are located in Redmond, Washington, 859 miles away from Apple’s headquarters in Cupertino, California. The “180º” is meant to signify that Apple’s culture is opposite of Microsoft’s.

The back of the shirt features a white Apple logo at the top center.

This well-worn shirt is a Hanes Beefy-T brand in size 2XL. It was made in Honduras. I purchased this shirt at the Apple Company Store.

This black t-shirt features the words, “I visited the Mothership.” on the front center printed in white in the Apple Myriad font. Although the architecture of the current Apple headquarters, Apple Park, resembles a UFO, this shirt refers to the 1 Infinite Loop location. Apple Park had not been constructed when they sold this shirt.

The back of the shirt features a white Apple logo at the top center.

This well-worn shirt is a Hanes Beefy-T brand in size 2XL. It was made in El Salvador. I purchased this shirt at the Apple Company Store.

T-shirt, I’m a Mac (dark orange, 2008)

This t-shirt is dark orange and features the words, “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 t-shirt tag indicates it is a Hanes Beefy-T brand made from 100% cotton in size 2XL. It was made in El Salvador. The back of the t-shirt is blank.

Although Apple sold a shirt with a similar design, this shirt was exclusive to the Apple Distinguished Educator program. I am part of the ADE Class of 2007. (The Apple Company Store version uses smaller text with the words “Hello, I’m a Mac.” and has a white Apple logo on the top-center of the back.)

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.
