May 5th, 2008 · 2 Comments

Last Monday, we launched a giveaway with AttusApparel.com, a designer of classic polo shirts with a sarcastic twist.  That familiar little polo horse is gone, replaced with strippers on poles, middle fingers, 40 ouncers and various rock and roll imagery.  GearCrave readers loved these polos, and our friends at Attus Apparel are giving five free polos to GearCrave readers who got involved.  Congratulations are due to Lawrence, Kevin, Joseph, Dug and Carlos, the five of you have won a free Attus Apparel polo.  For those who didn’t win this one, GearCrave has more giveaways to come.  If you, like us, love these polos anyway, head on over to AttusApparel and pick up one of your own.  It’ll feel great to wear these around your boss and he’ll never know you’re flipping him off the whole time…

GearCrave Giveaway: Attus Apparel Sarcastic Polos

April 28th, 2008 · 22 Comments

attus apparel

The polo is the perfect neutral zone between the dress shirt and the t-shirt, the business world and college. As long as you don’t pop that collar, the polo shirt can give you the expression of a t-shirt while you make your way through the corporate world. How, you say, can a polo shirt give you the edge of expression that a nice screenprinted t-shirt can get? The guys from Attus Apparel have updated the classic polo with sex, drug, rock, roll and sarcasm. The knit polo logo on the Attus Apparel polos feature more than just a dude on a horse. You’ll find the middle finger, a 40, a stripper on a pole, a broken skateboard and more on the hilarious Attus Apparel polos. Hell, take a look for yourself! Continue reading after the break for a) images of these killer polos and b) how five lucky GearCrave readers will get to take one of these home for free.

GearCrave Giveaway: NIVEA for MEN Extreme Comfort

April 14th, 2008 · 8 Comments

nivea for dudes

We’re men. Generally, when we hear words like “chamomile” and “licorice” and their “soothing qualities”, we tend to tune out. When it comes to the way we work, we pass on the marketing fluff and head straight for the products we know. That’s not to say, however, that we aren’t aloof to new technologies, whether it be the latest iPhone or the latest in skin care. Recently, NIVEA for MEN reached out to GearCrave, asking us to try their new line of shaving skin care. While we normally balk at the prospect of change in this area, we decided to give this one a shot…

The result? A damn clean, comfortable shave without the burns and redness we normally experience. We’ll admit, we were a little biased in making this decision. Your humble GearCrave editor finds this tough to admit, but I have abnormally sensitive skin. There, I said it. Anyway, turns out the Extreme Comfort line from NIVEA works. Like a charm. Might this describe you as well? Its your lucky day. GearCrave talked the folks at NIVEA into giving away 5 sets of their new Extreme Comfort shaving gel and aftershave balm to GearCrave readers. Keep reading, we’ll tell you more about the new NIVEA line, plus how you can get your own for free from GearCrave.
