n.
A shirt that essentially makes the wearer a human billboard.
These types of shirts have a store's name and/or logo somewhere placed on it, usually across the front chest area.
-Usually nothing special or original about these kinds of shirts.
-Typically overpriced.
-A sign of social status
*Frequently found in elementary schools where if you do not own one, the likelihood of being in the in-crowd significantly decreases.
--Also found frequently in High School, but not so looked upon for social status.
Instead of the store/company paying for advertising, the naive consumer purchases the shirt to advertise for them for the sake of showing off that they are wearing a particular brand.
