We’re kind of scraping the bottom of geekery here… Not to insult any Trekkers, but even with the J.J. Abrams movie coming out, and Star Wars fandom at all time low, Star Trek is still… Well, it’s Star Trek. You knew what you were getting into when you started calling yourself a Trekker.
That all being said, while I may not being a Trekker, I’ve certainly watched a lot of Star Trek in my time. Certainly enough to discuss the intricacies of Tasha Yar’s history the other day while walking around town with a friend. Okay, fine. I’m a Trekker.
Anyway, as you may or may not know, back in old school Star Trek, there was always a random crew member who would travel to an alien planet with Kirk and Spock, and then get killed. That crew member would always be wearing a red shirt, hence the term Red Shirt meaning a character who is completely expendable. This was famously spoofed in hit American cinema movie, Galaxy Quest.
Think Geek has put together a “cool” shirt to celebrate your status as an expendable crew-member. It’s 50% polyester/50% cotton, and varies in price based on size. Dignity not included.
