I've worn a couple of my business t-shirt around NYC this summer. The business ones didn't draw much attention, but my 10 With Tom shirt has.
I wore it the other day and went to get breakfast at this small coffee ship I've been going to. The place was very crowded. I went up to the counter and ordered and the lady asked my name for the order. I said, "Tom," but she did hear me.
She asked, "What was it?" I pointed to my 10 With Tom shirt and said, "Tom."
She smiled and asked about what it was. I explained that I interviewed people and other things and she asked to take a picture of it, I guess so she could remember to check it out later.
When I turned back around the whole place was looking at me - people had been standing around waiting for their orders.
Another lady asked about it and people were interested.
As the day went on, I noticed people looking at it and I noticed readers, likes, and subscriptions went up, so the shirt did what it was supposed to do.
I was all over the city and on and off the subway all day. So I got a lot of advertising in as I went about my daily business.
