The Shirt Stories
Resistance is Futile… So Let’s Make T-Shirts!" At AHR2025 & the IBB Workshop, we joked about putting our biggest industry challenges on T-shirts. Then we thought… why not actually do it?
So here they are—real shirts, real messages. And yeah, you can actually get one. (Not the point, but hey, if you want to wear one, here they are.)
It all started when Danielle Radden of facil.ai gave me a great T-shirt with "Resistance is Futile" inside an electric resistance symbol. That got me thinking—why not put some of the industry's most important (and ignored) truths on shirts? Now, those conversations are wearable.
