Ethical weather t-shirts from the Met Office

In collaboration with an eco-clothing company, the national weather forecaster has developed a range of T-shirts emblazoned with its famous weather symbols.

Designs include their cloud symbol with a bolt of lightning signifying stormy weather, and a fashionable adaptation of a the rainy weather symbol featuring a cloud with rain drops in the shape of cats and dogs

I wonder which one will be the most popular? I guess the storm one?

In a plain, red-brick warehouse in New Jersey, a lump of used clothing is zooming down a conveyor belt. A Hispanic woman examines the lump, and tosses it on another conveyor belt. Another woman picks it up and examines it again. People who work at Manhattan T-shirt boutiques had whispered to me that this place was vintage T-shirt heaven, a mecca.

Old Navy has produced a line of collegiate T-shirts, but unfortunately didn’t do its homework, printing incorrect founding years for three of the 29 universities featured. As Yahoo! Sports blog Dr. Saturday reports, the retailer printed 1820, 1878, and 1881 as the founding years for the University of Iowa, Colorado and Arizona, respectively. The actual founding years are 1847 (a 27-year difference from Old Navy’s version!), 1876, and 1885.

Bound to be collectors items!
