Back in 2005, “Free Katie” was everywhere. When Katie Holmes started dating Tom Cruise, the internet went wild with jokes, and the slogan ended up on t-shirts.
The Free Katie shirt
The shirt was simple. Two words in big letters. People wore it as a joke about how fast the relationship moved and how strange the media circus around it got. It was one of the first meme shirts of the internet age.
The site that sold it is long gone. But the idea lives on. Slogan tees still pop up every time pop culture does something weird.
