Shirt.Woot

I might just sell this shirt.
The other white meat.

Very funny but if you're going for the puffaluff look I think they need thicker black outlines.

Josephus wrote:I might just sell this shirt.

The other white fur you mean. We need discodancing to clarify whether puffaluffs are white meat / red meat I think. Regardless, I bet they're delicious. I'd fry 'em up and eat them like popcorn shrimp.

I bet if you talk to disco he'd put it on his store... long live the luffs! Well, I guess not that long...

If your vote count/order is correct, I'll be buying at least 3 shirts this weekend. :o

I think the rejectorators got lazy this week... only rejected things for being offensive, not worrying about printability... best example... everything from heatherpickens submitted in crayon and marker.

I think it's "derbysmiths." Since we are in a complex craft, and all.

This Heather Pickens is quite a celebrity on the forums. But she doesn't post. Hmmm...

Hey cwarrington, I know you probably went over it by now, but what exactly goes into the vote calculations for the fogged entries? I'd be lying if I said my interest isn't especially piqued due to the standings this week, but I'm interested in the math of it, considering that (I think) all you have to go off of is the hotness box. If this was already explained, I'll surf some previous derby threads to check that out.

Maybe she's the alter ego of No1?

Just out of curiosity...Why AZ time?

Indeed it is! Vote for the shirt that helps tell the world!



(I couldn't help it.)

Shan, thanks for the point about the line thickness.
Now, is the top sandwich more like the real puffaluffs, or the bottom sandwich?

heh. like they're real.

actually it is technically CST because woots' headquarters are in TX. But it is also on Toon time which is whenever the hell he remembers

Is it me...or do they look like tribbles now?

Ah I see...and Toon is in AZ? that would explain it.

No st louis, I think he doesn't own a watch.....

no, he's in St Louis. The web team is mostly in St Louis. I don't know where the AZ thing came from- maybe because a bunch of the shirt design entrants are from AZ.

and they do look like tribbles, though there were never any white tribbles. and they didn't have faces. the originals looked like tribbles too.

Since they are on a sandwich and about to be eaten shouldn't their eyes be Xs?

and there mouths should be o's

50 minutes until new theme!

I got your shirt right away as I just put the ol' call into Microsoft to have them ship me my casket-- I mean shipping box for my 360. I also thought it was clever. I just think there's too much by half. The text isn't necessary. If you had dropped everything except the circle/rings/heart (and made the heart have the little horizontal line while I'm being nitpicky) and then shifted it over to the breast pocket of the shirt... and picked a different shirt color, I probably would have voted for it.

I'm just as guilty as anyone of not knowing when to quit with a design, so don't take this personally. It's the nature of this contest. "If you just did everything completely different, I'd have loved it!"

I also wasn't sure if the white border box was supposed to be there or not. Most people prefer the image to be unbound by a box or border. It makes for a more interesting design and looks less like those iron-ons everyone had in the 70's. :^P

Anyway, mad props on the concept. I think its only failure was design, really. That's not to say it's a BAD design - just one I didn't vote for. Remember I'm just one person out of hundreds, though. So take it with a grain of salt.

I like the darkest one, that's more like the original. X's for eyes would be funny but their semi-sad expression they have now is also funny.

Try 10:00 am AZ time ;-)

It will be 11:00am AZ time when Texas goes on DST later this week (or whenever everyone but us Arizonans has to scurry off to change their clocks ;-).

yeah, I can see that, and started to do it that way, but decided it'd look better with them alive. That way I can make the companion shirt...

OK so I have no clue where I got the AZ time thing from, especially since I understand the concepts of time zones and geography. Sorry about that.

Also: thanks for the description cwarrington. Smart stuff.

Please tell me the companion shirt isn't the puffaluffs escaping from someone's digestive tract.

which would tie into gi metro! maybe the puffs would have it on a map while trying to escape

I was afraid it'd be too complicated. Complicated is too often my downfall in the derby.

edit: oh, yeah, it isn't FOR the Derby. unless this week's theme is 'Different Nutrition Designs', or 'Puffaluffs for everyone!'.

speaking of a shirt that's printing money for woot and its designer. they've sold at least 750 more shirts since it went on sale.
