# Overtly Facetious T-Shirt Designs These Offensive Graphic T-shirts Come From Skate Mental By Jonathon Brown | Published 2013-02-12 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/offensive-graphic-tshirts References: [highsnobiety](http://www.highsnobiety.com/2013/01/31/skate-mental-spring-2013-t-shirts/) & [skatemental](http://skatemental.com/) Skate Mental has released its spring 2013 collection of [offensive graphic t-shirts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/supreme-winter-2025-tees) in an attempt to rile up some controversy ahead of its release. Some of these t-shirts are more offensive than others, but all of them carry a certain abrasive youthfulness. For instance, one t-shirt features a weed leaf that’s filled in with pepperoni pizza. While this looks odd at first, it makes total sense because few things go better with weed than pizza. Next, they have a shirt that plays on the Rastafarian name for God “Jah.” Just as you might say “God bless you,” a lot of Jamaican’s say “Jah bless you.” The catch on this slightly offensive graphic t-shirt comes in the image, which features a Rastafarian man sneezing beside the words. All of these t-shirts can be found on SkateMental.com. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.3/10 - Popularity: 90% | Activity: 91% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Offensive Graphic T-shirts:** Skate Mental is banking on controversy by releasing its spring 2013 collection of offensive graphic t-shirts, representing opportunities disrupting the traditional clothing industry. - **Weed Culture:** The weed culture graphic t-shirt trend is growing, powered by a counterculture movement that creates disruptive innovation opportunities in various industries ranging from fashion to creative design. - **Sneaker Culture:** With a market size expected to hit $95.14 billion by 2025, Skate Mental's offensive graphic t-shirt collection presents an opportunity for brands to leverage sneaker culture and create disruptive innovation. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Industry:** The offensive graphic t-shirt trend creates disruptive innovation opportunities for the fashion industry by revolutionizing what is deemed as acceptable norms. - **Creative Design Industry:** Skate Mental's offensive graphic t-shirts represent disruptive innovation opportunities within the creative design industry by sparking creativity in graphic design. - **Streetwear Industry:** Skate Mental's offensive t-shirts are an opportunity for streetwear brands to take risks and innovate on what is culturally acceptable and take advantage of the growing streetwear market. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Villain-Inspired Graphic Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saint-mxxxxxx.md) - [Graphic Winter Tees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/supreme-winter-2025-tees.md) - [Sneaker-Inspired Graphic T-Shirts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/panda-dunk-tshirts.md) - [Viral Criminal Merchandise](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/i-can-fix-him.md) - [Streetwear-Inspired Cannabis Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rip-n-dip.md) - [Iconic Band Apparel Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freaks-store-2.md) - [Cheeky Holiday Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/conversation-stoppers.md) - [Graphic Tee Rap Tributes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/de-la-soul-x-levis.md) - [Collaborative PatGraphic T-Shirts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/respect-tee.md)
