Shirt.Woot

Re: Guy Fox

I really like this, but the placement feels a little weird to me. I think I would like it more if it was lower, or smaller and higher.

Re: Little Boy

ah wonderful can't wait to see ur cute n funny follow up holocaust shirt.

Sir Francis Drake is the first person to
circumnavigate the world. Hope you like it :-)

Re: breaking barriers

It may be kind of abstract but it's still totally awesome! I really like the broken bits of sky.

Re: Leonardo

I guess I'm the only one disappointed to see that the Ramy submission is yet another TMNT shirt.

Re: Flapper

Totally adorable.

Re: Genghis Khat

I am anti-catshirt, but this one is getting a vote from me because it's too good not to.

Re: Guy Fox

Clever and a nice graphic, but the placement is off. Off center is fine, but it's too low imo.

Re: Moooon Landing

I love this! Cute and funny design!

Re: Peace

Very nice artwork on this design! I really like the concept and colors as well.

"historical event" doesn't just mean it happened some time in history. if this shirt were ok then you would have to allow something like a Frankenstein reference as long a there were a book shaped background to it.

If you had a Franken-bunny, I wouldn't see a problem with that. Famous book/TV/Movie dates can be significant dates in history and would fit the derby theme. I'm pretty new here, but it just seems like folks are nit picking for it's own sake now. The last month or so, I have seen themes stretched a lot farther than this guy/girl has done.

Are you arguing that the creation of Star Trek isn't historical? The writer a ways up this discussion pointed out some ways it was, and as Sci-Fi and pop culture go, it was a watershed moment.

Reading through some of the design discussions, I wonder if people wouldn't be a lot better off praising the stuff they like and biting their lips when they don't like a design, for whatever reason.

Re: Plague Delivery

..very cool...i love the fact that he's depicted as the grim reaper, seeing as that event in history is where we get the iconic image...

Re: Remember Remember...

Re: breaking barriers

I would like it more if the shirt featured a drake (male duck), for which Sir Francis Drake is named.

Re: breaking barriers

This design is absolutely beautiful and I hope it makes it into the fog of war very soon because this is probably my favorite design in this derby.

Re: Stone Cold Angels

No text this week either.

Re: Leonardo

I can always see Ramyb design from miles away. (Hint: He's usually the one with rabbits, turtles or both.)

I sympathize with liking a design and not liking when people have dissenting posts. This isn't a matter of whether or not I like this design, it is a matter of whether or not the design fits the parameters of the derby's rules. As previously stated, I feel like the design is a bit of a stretch in terms of fully meeting the requirements of the derby. Star Trek might be important to sci-fi, but it's a bit of a leap to say that this design, as-is, shows whatever place Star Trek might have in cultural history. Disagree if you want, but that's my take on this design. Blame it on the fact that I make my living on teaching others about history.

If you expect it, you need never be disappointed.

The theme was begging for a few TMNT entries.

This is just so adorable and I love the color scheme!

Re: Flapper

My tween daughter was just learning about the roaring 20's and she was so thrill with this super cute design!

Overthinking.
