Is that a Paul Smith shirt?

Whilst standing in the back room at the ballet school that my daughter Sophie goes to, I had an interesting conversation. I was wearing my Ubuntu Hardy Heron T-shirt which I got from the Canonical Online Store.

.

One of the other parents (a mum) said to me “That’s a nice T-shirt, where did you get it? Is it a Paul Smith?“. This made me chuckle a little. I had to reply “No, it’s not, it’s ‘just a promotional T-shirt to do with a product I use’”. She was surprised. So was I.

There’s something to be said for geek-wear that doesn’t scream “I AM A GEEK T-SHIRT”.

Don’t forget that every month on the Ubuntu UK Podcast we are giving away discount codes for the Canonical store as competition prizes!

Update My family all just descended on my house for a Barbeque. My brother just said “Hey, nice t-shirt” :)

    I really like the shirt and considered buying it too — despite not actually using ubuntu — but the price is too steep imho. It is a very nice design though.

    I want a “UNIX” t-shirt like Garth in Waynes World 2!

    It looks like you spilled ketchup and mustard on it.

    I would like to take part in competitions to get discount codes but being deaf I am unable to :-(

    Erk, hadnt thought of that. Each month, drop us an email and we’ll send you the competition details. Of course once the transcriptions are done you could read those, but we dont have those up to date yet.
