The shirt does not say support the troops. It spells the word out first. Across the chest, in lettering that reads as a single block, the design sets down R.E.D. FRIDAY and then, beneath or beside it, REMEMBER EVERYONE DEPLOYED, with...
The first thing I notice is the frame. FORCED FAMILY FUN sits inside a string of festive lights, the kind drawn in a single looping line with small bulbs at intervals, red and white lettering against whatever the garment colour happens...
