Chicago White Sox Looney Tunes Baseball shirt

Product Description

Chicago White Sox Looney Tunes Baseball shirt RBC produces its merch via Everpress, an online retailer that allows individuals to upload designs and sell stock on a made-to-order basis. Gaia Di Siena, senior brand marketing manager at Everpress, says sport has long been a recurring theme, but describes a recent “phenomenon” of “run-themed” T-shirts, with many promoting completely fictitious clubs. “I’m not surprised as running is arguably the activity [that] anyone is getting into right now,” she says, noting how designs available on Everpress tend to “mirror what is currently relevant in culture and society”. Hobson believes that fashion and running have always “coexisted”, pointing to the current ubiquity of New Balance’s 990 trainer, which was originally released in 1982 as a running shoe. But also that the sport’s recent rise in the style stakes has pushed prices up, making people feel that they need to spend lots of money to be involved. That said, anything that gets people running is good. “If it means more people feel like there’s a look for them, and they can go running and feel comfortable in an aesthetic they’re chasing, then go for it.”

In some respects Chicago White Sox Looney Tunes Baseball shirt Shein resembles Amazon more than a fast-fashion retailer: its catalogue of merchandise is so expansive that it functions more like a search engine than a clothing store. It maintains no permanent physical storefronts, and as such is unconstrained by square footage, retail labour or rent. Low overheads mean low prices, and Shein is the place for the cheapest clothes in the industry. Even the user experience is similar, in the way that both Amazon and Shein feel junkified: pages are unpolished, with varying product listings and completely unpredictable product qualities. Shein is a microcosm of the internet and a sibling of the internet’s other most powerful retailer: weird, clunky and seemingly thrown together. Afriend texts me screenshots of a Shein sweater vest she ordered last year. It’s cropped, with bands of cream-coloured ribbing around the neck, armholes and waist, and patterned with brown argyle diamonds. On the website, the sweater is placed into a scene with black loafers and a paper with text in French, evoking an unimaginative fantasy of European life. It casts a fake shadow. “It was not a real garment,” my friend says. She discarded the vest as soon as it arrived. “The pattern was printed on. You could not wear it in public.”
