The [pixelated t-shirt designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/panda-dunk-tshirts) from Pixelivery are a throwback to [old-school computing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/16bit-display) but take a leap forward into the 21st century with some seriously funky prints.

Available in your choice of either monochromatic or brightly colored shades, the tees feature designs that include a camera, an anchor, a bicycle, a cup of coffee and, amazingly, each of the 50 states of America. There's a certain geeky charm that exudes from the designs and the designers over at Pixelivery call attention to this by explaining, "It occurred to us that civilians—AKA non-web design nerds—might like these things on t-shirts too." Hence, these designs aren't just for the tech-savvy; you'll definitely be able to find a design that speaks to your inner nerd.

Love the look but can't decide? The American state tees are a fresh way to blend [fashion and patriotic pride](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mountain-dew-americana-tshirt-bundle).
