The universe of plaid is a rather mundane existence. Lines on and on in either direction, broad and thin, of varying colors. Its like looking at a city map, a city that has been set to some sort of obsessive grid by some mad fool. Or maybe it looks like what the inside of a computer processor looks, all of those lines which seem to go into some order which makes some rhyme and reason, but to the rest of us it makes little, if any, sense. Plaid is a prison. Plaid just isn’t that much fun. Yet its remarkably popular.

Many many years ago, there was a time when valor was worth a damn. That was the time of King Arthur’s court. In that court, honor was the most important ideal of all.

Dragons. What? Dragons. Dragons on t-shirts. What about dragons is so great? King Arthur’s fought dragons, and he was a paragon of all good things on this Earth. What did he do? He killed dragons. Why don’t we wear King Arthur t-shirts? Because no one knows what King Arthur looked like, buteveryone on this planet knows exactly what dragons look like .

A dragon flying majestically in the sky, breathing fire at its foes. Maybe there are two dragons, both green, or maybe green and purple, depending on the sort of fashion that you want to have. That’s right, fashion. Dragon T-shirts can carry a lot of fashion too, you know. If you’re a girl, you can match the color of the dragon, of the dragon’s flame, or the dragon’s claws, or the mountain that the dragon may by flying over, with your purse or make up for the day. Maybe shoes. Everyone pigeonholes dragon t-shirts as unfashionable, but look at plaid, with its uninteresting straight line set up. Look at dragons, with their wings, curves, and their unpredictable nature.

Bring back King Arthur’s court, at least in spirit, by wearing dragon t-shirts. If you wear that, it sends a clear message to everyone within view of your awesome t-shirt. The message reads: “I support a time when everyone was completely honest to each other, and if you lied, that would lead to your death.” Maybe you could put that on one of those lame Hot Topic black t-shirts with white lettering, but that’s not fashionable. That doesn’t look good at all. Dragons, however, are cool, and everyone fears them, in some sort of primal way.
