Ah, Emojis.
They can perfectly convey a variety of messages, and who doesn’t like to drop a smiley deuce every once in a while?
But just because a jovial poop icon can say anything from “I’m having fun” to “you’re cute,” it doesn’t mean that it’s fit to print. But Betabrand and its infinite silliness has crowdfunded not one (Emoji poo shoes, $88), but two (Emoji poo shirt, $79), number two-themed articles, and people are digging them. We know this, because the shoe raised 328 per cent of its crowdfunding target, while the shirt has raised 340 per cent (with 21 days left to go). That’s a lot of people into using the bathroom. But if you’re not into this particular “theme” in printed fashions, we’ve got 15 better ways to show your emotions with graphics.
There are 15 better things to put on your shirt than “poop”

Ahoy, Stripes!
If florals are too jazzy, go classically graphic with a take on a Breton stripe.

Oh, Plaid!
Whether it's prints or patterns, there's no shortage of ways to get out of this "poop trend." An oversized shirt is a great, comfortable statement that will get you all sorts of good looks.
