Superhero t shirts have always been one of the most popular genre of t-shirts out there, whether they be based on our heroes from Marvel Comics or DC Comics. However, without doubt the most famous of all superhero t shirts are the Superman tee shirts from DC Comics.
Superman first appeared in Action Comics #1, in June 1938, and since that time has been at the forefront of the the superhero genre appearing in all forms of media, including comics, radio, books and television. However, it was in film format that The Man of Steel became an icon to the general public.
In 1978, Superman - The Movie, and its sequel Superman II (1981), became two of the most successful feature films of their time. They also made their star, Christopher Reeve, a household name overnight. Since that time, Superman merchandise and in particular Superman tee shirts have become big business.
The Superman tee shirts most popular incarnation is of course the Superman shield logo t-shirt, which when worn underneath a shirt gives the wearer a certain Clark Kent look at the moment he is about to transform into the superhero's costume.
Below are my three favorite examples of the shield logo t-shirt, which are just perfect for any budding Clark Kent out there.
War Torn Shield
This is a black tee shirt with a red S on a white shield, which has a burnt war torn look to it. The burnt S shield looks as though you have just been rescuing a burning train full of commuters, or something equally as heroic.
The War Torn Shield t-shirt goes great with a light colored pair of pants, such as a pair of chinos or white jeans, and comes in sizes S through to XXXL.
60's Type Shield
This is a coffee coloured tee shirt with an orange shield that has been given a distressed look for that totally retro 60's style.
The 60's Type Shield t-shirt has a great casual look to it and goes just great with a stone washed pair of jeans and some sneakers. Again, this cool looking t-shirt comes in sizes S through to XXXL.
Retro Logo Distressed
My personal favorite version of these types of Superman tee shirts has got to be the retro logo distressed look. This authentic DC Comics t-shirt is a wonderful royal blue color with the classic red S on a yellow background. Of course, this variant of the t-shirt is best worn under a shirt, tie and suit.
So where can you buy all of these awesome superman tee shirts?
Superhero shirts are great for athletes and bodybuilders and anyone who likes superhero stuff! They are great for a gift for your favorite superhero loving friend.
