Maybe I’m just a sucker for things like this, but it was love at first sight when I first laid eyes upon the [Bear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bear-fight-whiskey) vs [Tractor Tee](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tractor-beverage-company).

On the random scale, this shirt scores exceedingly high for pitting two unlikely foes against each other. The t-shirt is printed on a plain grey American Apparel shirt and has a definite vintage vibe to it. The creator of this fashion masterpiece is Gnome Enterprises. How suiting.

I put my bet on the bear. Any takers on the tractor as the victor?
