The t-shirt deal of the day over at RIPT Apparel is a Top Gun-inspired shirt called “Negative Ghost Rider.”

The tee, by artist Matt Leyen, went on sale at RIPT today, Saturday, February 5, 2011, at midnight CST, and will continue for 24 hours from then, and once it’s over, it will not be sold on the site anymore.

The design is based on dialog from Top Gun, but you don’t need to be a fan of the film to dig the shirt, it’s cute enough on its own and quite obscure. The image is of a ghost riding a bicycle saying “I hate this bike” cuz he’s negative — get it?!

The t-shirt is available in men’s and women’s sizes for $10 each in blue. Kids sizes are $15 (Boys, Girls, and Toddler in varying shades of blue); Onesies are $18 (in a powder blue). You can also get the design on a Hoodie for $38 (in Men/Unisex sizes in blue).

You can see more of the artist’s work at his website.

What do you think of this design?
