Although the heyday of joke t-shirts has long passed this 'Big Dill' top from Threadless.com member Phil Jones is bound to inspire a few grins. The appeal of the shirt is that it doesn't clunk people over the head with some contrived, obtuse, not-so-witty witticism.
Jones's top is cheeky and fun. The shirt features a rather self-satisfied, condescending-looking dill pickle with a text blurb next to it that reads, "I'm kinda of a big dill."
The clothing also has an appealing aesthetic. Many shirts that try to be funny often end up occupying all of the prime real estate on the clothing with hectic text. Such shirts can only be novelties, which get old quickly. The 'Big Dill,' with its prominent green and blue, is hip to the clashing color craze that is fashionable of late.
