The $10 t-shirt deal of the day over at RIPT Apparel today is the Lord of the Rings shirt called “Mordor University” by artist The Creep.

The shirt went on sale at RIPT today, Saturday, August 6, 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 t-shirt is available in men’s and women’s sizes for $10 each in gray. Kids sizes are $15 (Boys and Toddlers in gray; Girls in white); Onesies are $18 (in gray). You can also get the design on a Hoodie for $38 (in Men/Unisex sizes in gray).

Here’s what the artist had to say about the design:

This shirt was created after I was designing university shirts at my last job. I loved the idea of Sauron wanting to provide a quality education instead of taking over middle earth.

What do you think of this design?
