As I indicated in my previous post (also related to Lindsay Lohan), being a redhead derives from a recessive allele in the Melanocortin Receptor 1 -- a receptor from Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone.
MC1R mutations also result in the phenotype of
A) Being super hot
and
B) A higher risk for skin cancer
so it would be useful for individuals of such a genetic inheritance to identify themselves and one another (you know...by ways other than their hair...).
To accomplish this task, Realm of Redheads sells the t-shirt on the right. The geeky goodness of this shirt boggles the mind.

wonder how it fares for them, marketing exclusively to redheaded scientists and scientist-friends of redheads...
