    Nearly all of them are designs to be put on black t-shirts... Probably because black doesn't show pit/food stains as easily and can be reworn for months on end without washing.

      The hack won't work for purely socialogical reasons. It makes the faulty assumption that Geekus malodorous would acknowledge a problem in the first place. So it's better to just make all geek t-shirts self-deodorizing.
