The computer programmers of the world finally have a piece of clothing to call their own in the form of the Code of Arms t-shirt. The Code of Arms t-shirt is a tongue-in-cheek reference to the coat of arms that were ubiquitous among the European royal families of old.
This shirt has its own coat of arms, but it's slightly nerdier. The coat is made up of two coding monkeys and features the slogan "Refresh, Reboot, Reinstall." Other nerdy icons include a slice of pizza, a cup of coffee, a bag of chips and a can of soda. The coupe de grais and main giveaway of this shirt is the computer at the top of the crest with the WiFi signal emanating from it. The shirt is available now and sells for $15.
