The following is a transcription of a recent interview between a Rival Screen Printing Staff Member and a T-shirt.

Rival Staff: Hello T-shirt, I'd like to start off the interview by wishing you a happy birthday! You don't look a day over...well, aren't you brand new?

T-Shirt: Yes, I'm freshly woven, but my family has been around since 1913.

Rival Staff: So you're turning 100 years old? Congratulations! May I ask where your family comes from?

T-Shirt: Of course! My family has a proud history. Our name derives from the letter T, which is the shape we take once we're woven. We were originally all crewnecks made from cotton and issued by the U.S. Navy as undershirts.

Rival Staff: Fascinating. How did your family make the transition from a simple military uniform garment to a mainstream fashion icon?

T-Shirt: Our rise to fame came rather quickly. Soldiers began to wear us as outerwear when they returned to their hometowns. We offered a new, rugged look that caught a lot of attention. However, it was Marlon Brando and James Dean that really started the frenzy. Once they squeezed their bulging biceps into our sleeves, our family could hardly keep up with demand.

Rival Staff: And the demand just keeps growing, doesn't it? How are T-shirts today different from those of the past?

T-Shirt: Nowadays we live in every corner of the world. We come in many different fabrics, colors, and designs. As a family, we're highly customizable. Sometimes I don't even recognize my own kin. I once met a relative made by Adidas that wicked away moisture and had mesh side-panels.

Rival Staff: Your family has truly changed fashion. What vision do you have for the future?

T-Shirt: My family will continue to offer a comfort and versatility to all. We are constantly adapting to changing fashion trends and technological advancements.

Rival Staff: Lovely, so are you ready to be printed with a unique Rival Screen Printing design and begin your life in the outside world?

T-Shirt: A T-shirt is always ready for anything.
