Vermont entrepreneur Bo Muller-Moore is taking on a popular fast food restaurant chain.

He sells a line of t-shirts that read "Eat More Kale."

But Chick Fil A has trademarked the phrase "Eat Mor Chikin."

Seems like this guy has a good chance of winning. What do you think?

This first collection of t-shirts is just a taste of what Burton and Mountain Dew have planned when it comes to integrating recycled plastic bottles into fabric. For future product lines, the brands will continue to increase the number of styles that use this sustainable fabric, with outerwear being the next key focus. Starting in the fall of 2012, Burton will also expand distribution of these products to Burton Authorized Dealers, so local snowboard shops can carry these new, sustainable outerwear and apparel styles.

A very interesting joint venture from two big US brands

For the new t-shirt service, you can choose from two fits. Slim, which is cut close to the body rather than being spray-on tight, and Relaxed, a wider fit that's slightly longer in the body, has a looser armhole and longer sleeve. You can go with or without a breast pocket (£110 with, £100 without), which can be made up in one of the 25 or so colour options from the Sunspel archive. The same colour options apply to the main t-shirt body and neck binding.

Rather expensive for a custom t-shirt!

Jay-Z and Rocawear have removed their Occupy Wall St. themed t-shirts from Rocawear.com -- after the rap mogul came under heavy fire for profiting off the protests, without donating anything to the cause. 

Seems like trying to profit from OWS movement is all the rage at the moment

In the UK and looking to buy a new DTG machine?

Almost everyone I know in business is sick of this downturn. The task is to restore confidence, despite various challenges. We need a sense of optimism to revive growth, and to reverse the recent decline in living standards. This can be done with sufficient willpower.

I have, therefore, assembled a brief list of suggestions that might boost morale among those entrepreneurs who are finding it tough...

Okay, I know this is not strictly about t-shirts but for all you small biz owners out there, here is a handy list of advice from entrepreneur Luke Johnson writing in the FT

Today we showcase the work of Dave Velez, who many of you may know his work under the title ‘Keez’ as a succesful t-shirt designer. His work his found on Redbubble, and his t-shirt designs have adorned many t-shirt blogs. But also its great to find that Dave is currently working as a composer in a complete change of pace, composing scores for tv shows and films alike.

The government will also cut back on wasteful printing and instead use email or post items on line.  Finally don't look for those free mugs with your favorite agency logo anymore.  Agencies are being told to "avoid purchasing goods that are frivolous or unnecessary". The edict:  no more clothing items (t-shirts, hats), mugs and "non-work related gadgets" for promotional purposes. 

Tough times for US t-shirt printers who have contracts with the federal government
