Sheldon Coopers Diversity Ship Shirt

Arrrr, me matey's! During all me treacherous journeys 'round the vast oceans of the interwebs, I've came across plenty'a visually similar shirts to this one. To me hearts discontent, I've still yet to find one which exactly matches to this beauty! Suffice it to say, it's quite ARRRRgrivating.

Ahem. But anyway. It appears to be a hand-drawn illustration of ships and boats in the water. I see no pirates or skull and crossbones flags or anything, so I can't quite say why I just felt compelled to do that terrible pirate shtick. Pirates or no pirates, though, I'll keep my eyes open for this one. One of the ships has "DIVERSITY" written on it, which I hear from Urban Dictionary is this:

An old, old wooden ship that was used during the civil war era to deliver large supplies of puréed walnuts from the South to the North. The walnuts were used as a replacement for toilet paper, due to the wartime shortage. Despite the volitile relationship between the two countries at the time, the North figured that it was more important to have a clean ass than to place an embargo on the South's nut shipments. The South figured,"Hell, we need the money".

There have been complaints from the authorities about a lack of diversity in the News Room.

So, you know. Take that as you may.

UPDATE!

Well, apparently I was way off the mark on this one (to a humiliating extent). This t-shirt is apparently a reference to none other than Ron Burgundy, from the film Anchorman, as he attempts to explain to a coworker what he thinks of diversity:

"Well, I could be wrong, but I believe, uh, diversity is an old, old wooden ship that was used during the Civil War era."

Really kicking myself for not catching this one. But thanks to the anonymous commenters who pointed it out. To purchase a replica of the tee from Zazzle, check out the link below:

Sheldon Coopers Vertical Test Bars Shirt

According to some sources (SheldonFanSite in particular) this shirt is showing vertical test bars. Personally, I'm a tad bit dubious of this claim but, hey, it's the best description I've seen so far. In either case, I've not yet found a shirt visually similar to this one online.

Sheldon Coopers 'Star Wars Silhouettes' Shirt

This t-shirt featuring Star Wars silhouettes is originally a creation from Super7Store.com. Like most of Sheldon's shirts that originate from there, the thing appears to have vanished as soon as we (well, me, at least) even heard about its existence. If they restock or I come across a replica anywhere, I'll be sure to update. Sorry!

Sheldon Coopers 'Greatest American Hero' Shirt

One of the weirdest television shows of the 80s, The Greatest American Hero, is the topic of this shirt. According to the book, The World Encyclopedia of Superheroes, the symbol is intended to represent an open book and a needle. Series creator, Stephen J. Cannell, however, states that the idea came due to a pair of scissors he had sitting on his desk during the design of the uniform. The truth, we may never know...

Sheldon Coopers 'Color Bars' Shirt

Strangely enough, this is the second test pattern themed t-shirt that we see Sheldon Cooper sporting on The Big Bang Theory. The first of which was the Philips PM5544 test pattern, first worn on the second episode of the second season of the series ("The Codpiece Topology"). Here, however, we have the SMPTE color bars test pattern. Both of which are special in their own unique ways (they're still no Indian Head, though).
