 Dear CheerWhore23 16-17 years old,
Well I thought I was ready to answer this question until I typed out your user name. Now I'm the one reading to much into things.
I'm guessing the ex is 18 or younger. Based on that he is not only a guy, he is an immature guy. Because he is a guy He has you in the past box. He has moved on (or rather back) to the ex ex. Because he is immature he Doesn't fully think out all his decisions. He really cant see how you will feel. Because he is a guy the shirt is either cool or uncool. If it is cool he will wear it out. If it is uncool it is for dirty work.
He didn't stop or say hi when he saw you. That means you are either not in his friend list, or too dangerous to his current relationship. Personally I vote for #2. He used you while on a break from the ex ex, or to make her jealous. Now he has her back, and he discards you like yesterdays newspaper. He is somewhat guilty about his actions so embarrassed to see you. Also if word gets back to the ex ex, that he talked to you she will be furious. She need the satisfaction of having won him from you.
Just my theory. If it's true you really don't want him back.
FA

 I think your reading too much into it. He probably just likes the shirt, it was clean so he wanted to wear it.
I have plenty of gifts from ex's that I still wear, just because I like them and it would be a waste to get rid of them!
You have both moved on from the sounds of things so dont worry about it, at least he is making use of the gift and you havent wasted your money!
I hope this helps and good luck!

 You're reading too much into it. It wore it because it was a clean shirt. He probably doesn't remember where he got it from, guys tend to not remember such details. And guys very rarely send hidden messages.
Why did you give your ex a shirt for his birthday though?

 I think you're reading too far into it. You got him a gift, and even if you two aren't dating, it's still something useable, and obviously, he's using it.
It was most likely just luck that you happened to see him wearing that shirt.
