Shirt.Woot

I don't know if I want Suburban Blitzkrieg or Oh Burned!!!

On one hand, I really like the former's color, on the other, I do not have an orange s.w.
Hm...

I have so many shirts, and so little money, I'll have to think about it.

Was seriously considering either the lemons or the fish, but I already bought random shirts and I don't like spending a lot of money in a short period of time.

Will have to think about this...

Congratulations to the four fogged designers. Titans, all of you!

My favorites didn't make it but I save money for when they do or for dailies so it's all good.

Congrats everyone on your fogged entries and congrats everyone who loves these shirts! :D

When I looked at the derby entries near the beginning of the week, I thought I might potentially buy three shirts this weekend. Now it seems I might only be able to buy one, if any at all.

I was hoping Cho's Iced Tea shirt would've made the cut. But at least my second favorite of the derby - his Lemonade one - will be available. As far as beverages go, I like lemonade, but I love iced tea (especially sweet tea).

Too bad both shirts didn't win. I could've layered them and had an Arnold Palmer.

Cho's icecream shirt better get an honorable mention. It was the best shirt this derby, with the exception of a couple random entries.

I second your sentiment. Guess I saved up to $30.00 this week. Congrats to all who voted for these shirts, and I hope they sellout.

Lulz, I did like the eskimo tea shirt. The idea of layering the two is pretty funny but Arnold Palmer is a great drink. I also really like Zenne's shirt so if it prints, I'll definitely consider it. I also think tg did a great job and find his shirt to be very original, it's just not my colors or style. Still, great job!
I hope Summer-ai and a few others get honorable mentions. I also loved a lot of sokowa's entries this week. Also loved toe's and Warholbot's waterslide. I know I'm forgetting some of the others.
Ah, yes, one of my favorites was mihalis aya's royal blue ice cream truck. I loved the texture, the color and the design. Also, tg's blockbuster shirt was something I would have bought on royal blue.
Enjoy your shirts everyone! I also hope they sellout!

Ironic that this would be the sentiment, as I think this is probably the best ending fog since water, mayhaps even better. Not to say there aren't other shirts I liked better, but the only change I'd make is to sub in cho's ice cream truck for his lemons. I'm very content to see woot finally got it right.

I know the estimates make the placements a foregone conclusion, but still good luck to everyone... maybe Zenne can pull off a tie.

I don't think it's foregone. There's less than 20 estimated votes between third and fourth, and the other three were in the fog so long, they might be overestimated.

Ties would be amazing.

The SDS stats have been wacked out all week. I am pretty sure of James's and TG's entries being the top 2, but Jaden and Zenne may be very close/tied or spread far apart. Jaden and Jame's ice cream entries kept near exact hotness and vote count for most of the week, and Zenne's had kept a higher hotness on average than either of them once hitting the top 10/fog. I know that Zenne's got booted from the fog right before the close of voting and made it back into the fog, but since Jaden's was subbed before Zenne's it is very possible that they had the same total but the submission times kept hers from getting bumped out.

Am very happy at the possibility of Blitzkrieg making it through the fog BUT...are there others out there (women, maybe?) who may be sick of the ONE style of AA shirt. I understand this is how Woot! can keep the prices low but would adding just ONE more cut, one that is slightly more feminine, kill anyone! How 'bout a v-neck or a looser round neck? The collar is just too priest-like and the arms are too long.

I don't fully understand how the estimates for 1nd and 2nd place has such a gap... They were only fogged 1 hour different, and yet nearly a 300 vote difference.

TGentry coming through on top. I'm glad you're back in the running with these derbies. I think some of your best shirts have been overlooked, like the movement shirt. I am really excited for this shirt.

They have a shirt for women though... There are men's shirts that are cut like most men's shirts and they have women's shirts that have the different chest cut and the shorter sleeves and such.

Ahhhhh..... (sigh of relief)... LOVE being on the West Coast.. I will own one of these by 10:01 tonight! KICK ASS!

Yeah West Coast and the whole time change that I don't quite understand but care even less about. All I know is we get it 2 hours early!

Looks like tgentry has finally hit his stride! Congrats, dude! And big clapping to Jaden for making it in the fog again.

Indeed. Jaden finds herself back in the running again as well!

HERE HERE (or is it HEAR HEAR or is it HEAR YE HEAR YE?)

Congratulations to all in the fog! Well deserved!

I think they're petitioning for shirts that show off their knockers, so they can then yell at men for looking at their shown-off attributes.

But... but... I don't want anyone looking at my bewbs!! Certainly not to read or study something that I have chosen to buy and display on my person! The nerve.

But, to the poster who mentioned the women's shirts... they ARE cut differently. The sleeves are definitely shorter than on a regular t-shirt. I'm wearing Treacherous Waters right now, and if I raise my arms at all, I'm glad I shaved this morning The shirts could definitely be MORE feminine, but they are better than the men's. I would love a v-neck shirt, but throwing something like that in the mix would jack up the design placement, I think. Too complicated.

AND, what a great collection of artists in the fog. Sad eHalcyon's turtles didn't quite make it, and I hope Zenne can pull off a tie!

Yes, you're absolutely right and I do know the cut for women is different but I still contend it's not different enough. There are shirts, like Bella or Anvil, offered on other sites, that are so much more flattering.

Lordy "knockers" if only you knew how small I am.

And as for your other stunningly well articulated point, what kind of English is "shown off attributes"?! I recommend you not only haul yourself into the 21st century and try to realize that it's not all about men, but also absorb a little Strunk and White while you're at it. It helps to write well if you want to make a point (even if your point is weak and self-absorbed).

aww I was praying that Zenne's shirt would end up printing
grats to all the winners though

Because 1st place was consistently higher in the New Hotness than 2nd place. I watched closely all week and TGentry's entry was almost always in the New Hotness and almost always very high up. Cho's entry was there consistently as well, but usually closer to the middle. 3rd and 4th seemed to both drop in and out of the New Hotness.

I'd say it would be more beneficial to consider how a scooped or V-neck would effect the design you so dearly needed in a sexier style than it would be for me to brush up for the sake of the occasional awkward grammar. The average woot design, especially those which are centered or large, would not benefit from a different womens' style. Guess who's going to get blamed when someone foolishly buys Finding Technicolor on a Vneck? Not the person who decided to buy a design on a garment that wouldn't fit it... they'd blame woot for the printing.

In summary, I'll keep my Strunk & White for reference in non-colloquial speech, but recommend that you bone up on a little design in between your neo-feminist tracts.

Just noticed, looking back at it that "Summertime" was in the fog for a whole 3 minutes. I saw it in the fog earlier and apparently it went out, but man, 3 minutes. Something a bit fishy there, no pun intended.

5th and 4th were duking it out the last 12 hrs. Nothing fishy on that end.

nice! Number one shirt, in the fog from entry time, and you got it within 20 votes. impressive!

number 2 shirt, with 867 votes, within 35 votes. still impressive. ;^)

Much <3 to my SDS visitors, loyal or skeptical :P hehe

Can I suggest some more badges?

1. Most entries made in the derby. Since it's a stat you present on the page, it seems natural to give it a badge, since you've got Reject King and the Remover already.

2. Woot Honourable Mentions.

When I wrote that, I was mainly talking about the 3rd & 4th place spots.

Several times one design would get kicked from the hotness and be voted back in placing it well above in vote total than the current 3rd place entry. Also the 3rd &4th place entries were consistently one vote apart or having the same total.


Hence why I said TG's as first, James's as second, and a toss up for Jaden & Zenne. TG and Jame's lemons were in the hotness more consistently, and will both probably have very close vote totals to SDS approximations. Zenne's is almost certainly an exact value or within a handful of votes. Jaden's is a wildcard though, it could easily match Zenne's for votes or be significantly higher.
