I’m never one for company logo tees. But this one’s actually cool enough to change my mind.

When I first saw it I didn’t know it was the companies logo and instantly thought that I’d wear it.

Oh yeah and it’s in red, which is one of my favorites. Plus you can eat all the kechup you want without really staining your tee. :-)
