Sheldon's Wardrobe - A TruffleShuffle Showroom!

The Big Bang Theory has become something of a cult TV Show over the past couple of years. If by some miracle you have never seen the hit US sitcom, it is now in its 5 season with over 110 episodes being broadcast onto our screens. Pretty amazing huh! The show is centered around the lives of two physicists Leonard Hofstadter and Sheldon Cooper along with best friends Howard Wolowitz and Rajesh Koothrappali. The geekiness and intellect of the four guys is contrasted for comic effect with Penny's (The girl who lives in the flat across the hall) social skills and common sense.

The standout character in the show is without a doubt Sheldon Cooper. Played by actor Jim Parsons, Sheldon lacks any normal social skills and fails to understand irony and sarcasm, this leads to many hilarious encounters during the show. Throughout the show Sheldon can be seen wearing a wide array of retro inspired t-shirts, many of which are now available on our site. This is our guide to Sheldon T-Shirts:

Sheldon can be spotted in his Green Lantern T-Shirt on several occasions.

This simple design featuring the Green Lantern logo is likely to go down well with comic books fans and super hero fans such as Sheldon.

See it in action: Season 1, Episode 10 (The Loobenfeld Decay) and Season 3, Episode 18 (The Pants Alternative)

This wicked, retro tee features a distressed print of the iconic television test signal pattern print.

This TV Test Pattern T-Shirt makes numerous appearances during the show, most notably in season two where it makes it into three episodes.

See it in action: Season 2, Episodes 2 (The Codpiece Topology), 11 (The Bath Item Gift Hypothesis) and 16 (The Cushion Saturation); Season 3, Episode 23 (The Lunar Excitation) and Season 4, Episode 2 (The Cruciferous Vegetable Amplification)

Sheldon loves comic books and his choice of tees reflects this. This Lightning Flash Shazam T-Shirt which features twice in the show shows his love for Captain Marvel from the Whiz Comics.

See it in action: Season 1, Episode 15 (The Pork Chop Indeterminacy) and Season 2, Episode 10 (The Vartabedian Conundrum)

This Navy 73 T-Shirt is another that makes a couple of appearances during the show.

The 73 reference is from Season 4, Episode 10 (The Alien Parasite Hypothesis), when Sheldon says "The best number is 73.... 73 is the twenty-first prime number. Its mirror, 37, is the twelfth and its mirror, 21, is the product of multiplying (hang on to your hats) 7 and 3.... In binary, 73 is a palindrome: 1-0-0-1-0-0-1, which backwards is 1-0-0-1-0-0-1."

See it in action: Season 4, Episode 13 (The Thespian Catalyst) and Season 5, Episode 6 (The Rhinitis Revelation)

These are just some of the many Big Bang Theory T-Shirts that we have available on the site.
