Laugh with the david & goliath tees
“Boys Make Good Pets, Everyone Should Own One.”
“Sometimes I Like To Run Into A Crowded Room, Fart, And Run Out!”
“Boys Are Stupid… Throw Rocks At Them!”
If you are laughing then it’s great! Because that is what these tees are all about. That is exactly what is written on david & goliath “Boys Are Stupid” tees. Designed by Todd Goldman, founder and designer of david & goliath, his tees are packed with those quirky captions and craftily complemented with his kooky cartoon creations.
There is a shed of truth to those statements because even I think that boys are sometimes (note sometimes) stupid. But some people didn’t think the tees are funny at all, they find it degrading to boys and that these tees will affect the self-esteem of young boys. This person is radio talk show host, Glenn Sacks (who is a men’s activist), who organized a boycott that got 3,000 retailers to pull off these tees off their shelves. But the boycott worked both ways, as much as it hurt, it also boosted sales thanks to the publicity (so it’s like we are selling renegade tees, isn’t that cool?).
His collections available at NewUrbanMale.com (NUM) include the Goodbye Kitty tees (a spoof of the cute Hello Kitty brand), where Kitty is always faced with a life threatening situation, such as getting burnt over a fire by the devil or getting run over by an oncoming train. We will continue to bring in more david & goliath tees in the coming months to further tickle your funny bones.
His tees are out to make a statement (and they are hilarious statements we might add) so get a tee, and let the T-shirt do the talking for you. Laugh on down to NUM today.

Dragon Boat Paddles Are Here!!
Like we mentioned earlier, we were going to bring in paddles for those dragon boat enthusiasts and they are finally here. Head on down to NUM and get them now.
NewUrbanMale.com - Champions of the 23rd River Regatta (Inter-Corporate Category)
We present The NUM Dragon Boat Champion Team
NewUrbanMale.com (NUM) made heads turn, arriving in our specially designed dragon boat NUM tank tops. We were probably the first ever fashion label dragon boat team and we definitely made waves at the 23rd River Regatta, eventually grabbing first place in the Inter-Corporate Category.
In the heats itself, we recorded the best timing among all our competition in the same category.
Come hither the semi-finals, the NUM team was really put to the test as they fought hard to earn third spot in the first semi-final. That race was a close one, with less than a second separating the first three teams. Five teams with the best timings from both semi-finals would go through to the final, and sure enough the NUM team made it through. And the team was looking good (no pun intended) and was all geared up for the finals.
The team, dressed in the black NUM tank tops, wanted to prove a point as this was NUM's first participation in the River Regatta and they were going head to head with veteran competitors such as HSBC, OCBC and favorites Reuters Asia.
During the final, the NUM team was leading from the start, but midway through the race, the others were catching up. They were almost successful but the sheer determination of the NUM rowers proved too strong and we maintained the lead all the way to the finishing line.
Just like a classic story from a movie, the underdogs eventually won (that's us if you don't get it).
NUM is an ardent supporter of dragon boating and we were elated to bring home the trophy, making the point that when fashion and sports combine effectively, you’ll get a winning formula.
We would like to thank all the supporters who came down to the event and cheered their lungs out. The team really appreciated it. NUM thanks all of you.
