Cowabunga!

Along with Halloween, October is National Pizza Month.  So how about looking at some big fans of pizza, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT).
"Vote Pizza Party" classic 80s tee for $20

Hello, Raphael.
Nickelodeon promoted the more recent series with this chalk illusion in London. I am sure that everyone wishes the drawing was a permanent mural.









"Ancient Ninja Xenomorphs"
More and more TMNT printed tees are coming out probably because of Micheal Bay's TMNT film reboot.

However, On the UK website The Guardian, I read that the 2013 film pushed back to 2014 because of the fans' voiced disapproval of the mutant turtles portrayed as aliens. The Guardian believes the production may be dropped altogether.

An artist, Billy Allison, did a great depiction of the ninjas like Ridley Scott's Alien.  I linked the tee's title to prints and device covers, but he has the design available as a tee too.




Here's two tees that take after the turtles' names: Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo, and Donatello.
"Renaissance Ninjas" tee for $22.50
"Heroes in an Art Shell" tee currently sold out.



"Ninja Rhapsody" print for $15
Did you know that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was a comic before a TV show? How about that all four wore red?

Artist Hillary White knew. Her design on the right is no longer available at RiptApparel, but you can still get a $15 print. It is a mash-up of one of Queen's album covers.

Even when dressed the same, Raphael stands out.




Original TV show in the 80s
There are more TMNT tees, but don't forget to celebrate National Pizza Month.

I have always wondered if banana toppings tasted good.  Do you remember what other toppings these turtles tried?




I did not find a tee or print of this one,
but it is still worth sharing.

    1. Haha. When I was little, I thought it sounded gross because I didn't like bananas. I haven't had banana chips, but maybe they would make a better topping than fresh bananas.

  2. Can I just say what a comfort to discover somebody who really understands what they are discussing
    on the web. You definitely know how to bring an issue to light and make it important.
    More and more people have to look at this and understand this side of your story.
    I can't believe you aren't more popular given that you most certainly possess the gift.
