Running technical shirts?

Options
Okay, I'm usually really good at the interwebs. But I can't seem to find what I want here. I really really want a geeky technical shirt for races. Like this wonderful "Companion Training Program" shirt that was handmade: http://iliketodocraftythings.blogspot.com/2013/05/friday-musings-35-nike-womens-half-recap.html

Anyone have any ideas? I'm fine wearing my boring stuff, but, y'know, sometimes you just need that extra oomph. Also, I want to reward myself when I finally beat my PR, and it's a good way to motivate myself to run faster.

    These guys have some really fun gym shirts, and quite a few cater to the geeky side. They have a similar Doctor Who shirt to the one you posted that can be customized by colour/style:

    I saw that, it was very cute, I'm just not yet into showing off my arms that much, and I really need something wicking. I was really enjoying looking at their shirts, though.

    Haha thanks!

    You can add sleeves on to their shirts, but unfortunately they are just plain jane cotton. Maybe just buy a wicking shirt that you like and take it into a customization shop, such as bang-on.com.

    I have about six of them on my Pinterest board and I keep haggling with my husband as to how many I can buy. So far I haven't worked him past 1...

    This is not a super current topic, but my sisters and I made our own shirts on cafepress I think. I dunno what type of shirts they have, but the pic in my ticker is a pic of our shirts (Mortal Kombat themed...they say "Mortal Kombat Athletic Dept Est 1992" plus the characters we chose. We wore them with colored arm warmers and a half-face mask since we were running in the midwest in November, and they were very cool).
