When we heard that our friends at Chopping Block were planning a “celebrity apes” t-shirt, we of course told them that they had to include Freddie, the world-famous MailChimp mascot and universally-recognized symbol of “awesome email,” among all those icons:
They said no.
So then we suggested they make a limited run of those t-shirts with Freddie, just for us. That way, we could give them away to customers.
Bingo:
Our webinar team is giving some of these away during every session. Haven’t attended a MailChimp webinar? You should. They’re actually entertaining (no, seriously). We’ve got daily sessions for people who are getting started, and we’ve got some more advanced sessions for Facebook, WordPress, and more. If you attend a webinar, listen closely if Raul (“International Man of Mystery”) is lecturing. There will be a pop-quiz at the end, and there may be prizes. ![]()


They also left out Baby Milo and the Bathing Ape icon, both definitely famous simians in the fashion world.
Is Bubbles on there?
I see Paul Franc, Rafiki, McGilla, Original DK, Mojo Jojo, the Banana Splits monkey (cant remember his name), and I THINK that’s Curious George, but his boots aren’t highlight so I’m not sure…
Pretty cool idea though!
There are no real chimps, apes or monkeys in there. The iconic tees celebrate fictional characters. So Bubbles wouldn’t have made the cut… but Bear of BJ and the Bear would.
Awesome. How many is there available? Hope I win!!!
We got a few hundred, actually. They’ll be giving these away for a long time.
Dang, I might have to go to the beginners webinar just so I can get a t-shirt! Freddie shirts are the best.
You could attend a more advanced webinar. But even then, they’re probably not advanced enough for the mighty Mr.McLane. How ’bout we just send you more, for giving us so much constructive feedback over the years?
I would gladly wear Freddie here in SD. Thanks Ben.
That’s a great idea. Kind of reminds me of the old tootsie pops how only some of them would have the indian and the star on it.
