Why I Love Single Color T-Shirts

Every spring, summer, and early fall whenever I find myself with a free day to myself, I usually find myself dressed comfortably in a solid color t-shirt, shorts, and sandals. Quite often, I also get picked on by friends, family and neighbors on why I always wear the same thing, and why I never wear any other type of shirt, including ones with logos on.
Most of the time, just to irritate them a little bit, I will simply reply "Because" and walk away. But there are a couple very good reasons to why I only can be found wearing solid color t-shirts outside of work and formal occasions.
Topping the list is the fact that the solid color tees from Haynes or Fruit of The Loom are dirt cheap. I can buy any color of shirt I want for a mere $4.88 at my local Wal-Mart Super center. Because they are so cheap, I can afford to own a lot of them, and actually get work I need to do done around the house. If I get oil on one of these bad boys, or get a rip in 'em while mowing the lawn it is really no big deal. I simply cut the shirt up and use it as a work rag and buy another. They are only four dollars, so I won't be too upset when I loose one, especially since I didn't pay fifteen to twenty dollars for the same shirt only with a logo on it.
The next major reason is the fact that since the shirt is plain I can not possibly tick anybody off. Let's face it; t-shirts with designs and logos are just a form of expression for your beliefs. While you may just love whatever on your shirt, I guarantee there are a million people who hate what's on your shirt. You may love Bush, but that mean looking man over there loves Kerry. You love Ford trucks, and that angry man loves Chevy trucks. It's impossible to win, and I don't even try. Without a logo on my shirt, nobody can judge me, unless they hate a specific color (which is pretty pathetic) which allows me to pretty much get along with everyone.
Finally, these shirts are really comfortable. They are so soft, don't have any annoying tags, and I do not even have to worry about destroying any logos or anything when I throw them in the washer. Most today are treated with some kind of stain resistant material that makes clean.
