OK, I feel so unhip for asking this question, but what's the story behind all the "Lloyd" t-shirts out there these days? Can anyone clue me in?

We ran across them while searching online for a present for a friend (whose name is Lloyd) and thought about buying one as a gag gift. But since none of us know what the shirts refer to, I was hoping someone here could help out.

Is this what happens when you are over 40?

I'm in my 20's (alas, further along than I'd like) and I have no idea what you're talking about.

Never heard of it either, although from the google searches I just saw, it sounds like Henri Lloyd is a fashion brand.

Not that my being more specific will make both of you be able to help me, lol, but maybe it will help someone else:

The shirts all have "Lloyd" type on them. Some are "Friends of Lloyd" or "Team Lloyd." The Busted Tees version has a drawing as well:

I was wondering about that one too when I saw it on Busted Tees. I would guess that it's some pop culture reference (possibly a more recent one?) I'm not privy too; I am guessing the same is true for "Speaker City". I would also guess that said reference came from some movie (and is thus in the same vein as the Vote for Pedro counterpoint Busted Tees offers), but I cannot say for certain.

Lloyd is from the 80's sitcom perfect strangers hope that helps

The Lloyd they are refrencing on the shirt is actually a character on my favorite show Entourage which is on HBO. He plays a gay assistant to the agent in the show. Everyone who watches Entourage thinks this guy is so funny, Which he is

I think someone should make a t-shirt "My son's name is Rupert"

Speaker City is from the film Old School with Will Ferrel & Vince Vaughan, about 3 adult blokes who start a fraternity so they can live on college property. I've also seen "Frank The Tank" t-shirts which is a reference to this film too.
