Tridelt RAGE RAGE RAGE tank, 2012
The 2012 RAGE RAGE RAGE shirt was classified by one Tridelta as “the best collective thing Tridelt’s ever done.” Although we do not—cannot—judge the collective history of the Tridelta sisterhood, we will definitely rank this endeavor as one of the best Fling tanks to grace the Chancellor roof. Simple, clever and filled with Delta sparkle (duh), this shirt was perfect for Tiesto and the 2012 EDM craze. We can’t wait to see if your Delta Guetta design can top this Fling classic.
Wharton Alliance ‘Can’t Even Fling Str8’ Tank, 2013
If there’s one great thing about wearing fling tanks, it’s the opportunity to show our true colors (cue Cindy Lauper sing–a–long). How better to do it than in a tank that professes pride in a distinctively queer Fling experience? Wharton Alliance’s ‘Can’t Even Fling Str8’ tank from last year is a pithy salute to inebriated attempts at walking like Naomi Campbell, day–drunk gaiety and general debauchery.
For the price of $25 you too could wear this tank announcing your "oztitute" status (a female Oz enthusiast) with your last name on the back. Although ‘misogyny’ doesn’t rhyme with prostitute (or oztitute) that’s how we’d classify this tank. MisOZgynistic? Everyone does things in poor taste on Fling, but hopefully that doesn’t constitute wearing this tank top. But as the saying goes, the Yellow Brick Road is paved with good intentions.
There’s nothing we at Street love more than a good pun, and SAE’s 2013 tank proved SAEtisfactory. Good job, boys. We appreciate your acknowledgement of safe flinging behavior and frattiness #PENN. We hope that you can woo us with your puns and guns (overseen at Pottruck) again this year.
KSA ‘Keep Calm and KSA On’ Tank, 2014
A blast from the all–too–recent past is less an expression of nostalgic appreciation and more of a fashion faux pas. KSA’s attempt to play on a trend that’s been long dead, or at least one that should’ve died on an Urban Outfitters sale rack three years ago. However, the bright color is on–trend and rather utilitarian, too: should you get lost in the sea of half–alive students, your KSA tank will double as a shining safety beacon.
QClub ‘Legalize Fling’ Tank, 2014
Despite the fact that the American Apparel “Legalize” iconography is long gone, this year’s QClub fling tank has a memorable quality. It’s the best answer to last year’s ‘Can’t Even Fling Str8’ tank, and it succeeds as a wearable instant classic worth keeping for next year.
