Best of the 2000’s: The Top 10 Blank T-Shirts

If you’ve been following our ongoing “Best of the 2000s” series, then you probably checked out this week’s massive countdown, The Top 100 T-Shirts (click here if you missed it). But with all the graphic goodness over the last decade, we didn’t have a chance to show love to the greatest blank T-shirts that we’ve worn over the last 10 years. Blank Tees are gonna be all the rage this winter anyway, so it makes sense for us to count them down, and put you on in time for the indoor season. Hit the jump for the Greatest Blank T-Shirts of the 2000s…

#10: NIKE
Price Range: $10-80
What is this “Nike” you speak of? Crazy. In all realness though, Nike has elevated the basic T to an art, from Loopwheeler hookups to the Athletic Ts with Dri-Fit. Kings, again. Check the full line out HERE.

#9: GAP/BANANA REPUBLIC
Price Range: $5-25
These two brothers from the same corporate mother made it OK to look like everyone else at your school/mall/work in the ’90s, and have been holding down casual wear ever since. In the 2000s, either of these stores was the place to get consistent, reliable sizes and fits no matter where in the country you were. Online copping goes down HERE.

#8: HANES
Price Range: $1-8
Believe it or not, Hanes also made our “Best Blank T-Shirts of the 1900s” list. Haha, we kid, everyone knows there was no internets before 2000! Anyway, Hanes beefy are the shit, whether or not Micheal Jordan is wearing them. Oh, and this year’s Supreme collab helped super cool guys get kitted up. Cop the Supreme ones HERE.

#7: J. CREW
Price Range: $10-36
From the land of privileged whiteys comes a great set of casual Ts. Rock J. Crew head to toe and we’ll punch you in the mouth, but stitch for stitch, these guys have the best basics in the biz. Buy them HERE.

#6: CALVIN KLEIN
Price Range: $18-30
Maybe it’s all the Eva Mendes nakedness, but we can’t get our minds off of Calvin Klein this week. In the past ten years (plus a few more), this brand held it down. If you wanted/needed a step up in undershirts, this was where you turned. Need it now? Click HERE.

#5: UNIQLO
Price Range: $10-15
Uniqlo might date back to the ’80s for the Japanese, but for us, it’s a 2000s brand. These makers of all things simple and awesome barnstormed our basics closet in 2006 and we haven’t looked back since. Check the latest colors HERE.

#4: ALTERNATIVE APPAREL
Price Range: $24-40
Alternative Apparel is just that: an alternative to American Appy, and produces a great line and selection of blank awesomeness. Bless them for their burn out Ts on ladies in the summer months, and for letting us get some white Ts that can wash up without shrinking into idiocy. Online shopping goes down HERE.

#3: POLO
Price Range: $30-50
Polo had the “Power Suit” on lock during the ’80s, but in the ’90s and ’00s, it was all about the T-shirt. How do you make a white T cooler/better? Put a little Polo man on the bottom. Fanciness can be purchased HERE.

#2: AMERICAN APPAREL
Price Range: $15-30
No single brand has defined the unemployed 20-something upper middle class degenerate in the 2000s like American Apparel. Shouts to Dov, you diiiiid it mang. LOL to your heart’s buying content at the online shop HERE.

#1: JAMES PERSE
Price Range: $50-95
The ultimate blank T comes at a price. While forking over close to a hundred bucks for a blank T seems like blasphemy, do it and you’ll be psyched. The sleeper uber-get of the 2000s. Cop HERE.
