If you don’t celebrate Easter, I hope you have an equally great day. We don’t judge people here at MoIllusions, but we do want everyone to have an amazing day :).

Today, I have a pretty cool optical illusion that was sent in to me by a user. This optical illusion comes in the form of a t-shirt that someone very creative designed and I have to say that it’s a pretty cool effect. As a matter of fact, I wish I had a t-shirt like the man is wearing in the image below. Are you ready to check out the amazing shirt? If so, you can go ahead and scroll down.

I don’t know about you, but I would totally wear this cool shirt. Would you wear it? Do you think it’s a cool optical illusion shirt? If so, you should leave a comment below and let us know what you think.
