Thumb Wrestlers T-shirt, for Real

Posted: 30 Jun 2008 11:13 PM CDT

Strap on your thumb-sized mexican lucha-libre headgear and get ready to rumble!

The thumb wrestlers are not dead yet. If you still remember, we first caught Lucha Thumbre T-shirt by Andreas Nilsson in April. The white tee was featuring Wrestler in Mexican Red Mask in really funny facial expression.

This time, it’s Tom Burns who comes up with his own version of Thumb Wrestlers. Tom Burns’ sky-blue color tee, which is sold by Loiter, illustrates rivalry of two thumb wrestlers that look like real (human) pro wrestlers — complete with their own hands! This hilarious design is printed on American Apparel tees, and sold for $16 at Loiter
