Hey yo, what's the name of this (t-shirt)?*

So I have a dilemma.

Have you ever seen those shirts, with the ampersands and the black text? You know, the ones that usually reference a crew or a group of some sort? Here's an example:

Leonardo&
Donatello&
Raphael&
Michelangelo.

I like those shirts. I think they are cool, and I'd like to make one (maybe even the example above, which I just thought of).

But what does it come from? I thought it was a hip-hop thing, but maybe it is something else? I cannot find a Web site with that design anywhere. I know there is a name for it, or someone's name is attached to it. I'd like to know.

So if you know, let me know. Because otherwise I might have to continue this wild goose chase and waste a few hours trying to find the answer on Google. And we all know that is simply unacceptable.

P.S. If you have a funny idea for a shirt like that, post it up. I will be making my own at some point, but I have no idea what it will be yet. Ninja Turtles are leading the pack, though.
