Old School Updated
This was my favorite shirt in the set. You can see it has plenty of style - it has a old school feel, with the eagle image and the yellow bands around the arms and neck. But the colors and the fit are current and very comfortable. Slim fitting shirts are popular right now, and this one makes does a good job of not just jumping on the band wagon, but adding some Globe style of it's own.
The material is also thin, so this shirt will breathe and stay cool while you skate. This also means that this shirt will tear easier when you eat pavement, so there's a trade off.
Subtle and Strong
Globe's 2005 T-shirt lineup also features some more traditional, heavier Tees. Take a look at this one. I liked the stronger material, since I tend to wipe out a lot, and I liked the subtle style. This shirt in particular is solid black, with the Globe name splashed on in hot pink and white, right on the side and on the opposite shoulder blade. I received a lot of compliments on this shirt - more than with any of the other Globe shirts I tried out.
The bottom line is, Globe shoes has a very cool, unique style that they bring to everything they do. I think it has to do with being based out of somewhere other than Southern California - nothing against that, but it's good to have a fresh, strong voice on the market.
Globe has been making some of the best skateboarding shoes on the market for years, not to mention surfing gear, so you can be sure you won't look lame wearing their name. Check out Globe Shoes T-shirts, and see if they match your style.
Remember that Globe has different styles available to its three seperate market areas - Australia / Asia / Africa, the US, and Europe. Some styles will only be sold in certain areas, while others will be sold all across the world. See the Globe Shoes site for more details.
