Darn derby themes...

Are you sure woot knows it is on grey? 'cause I see the grey background with the grey shirts blended into it, and this white detail with the rest starkly standing out in front. I might assume it was 'artistically' put out that way, to show that the significant thing is the design, on a white shirt.

Re: Afterlife Nap

So this is in 11th place right now?! Arrgh. I really want this shirt, I hope it makes a comeback.

I wish it would win too.

Re: infinite rest/silence

Fabulous design... & great message!! A++

Re: Eating Healthy

This is by far my favorite in this derby. The colors really do it for me, I know that monster will stand out on that shirt, especially since he looks semi-transparent - it's going to look great against the asphalt. It's very clean, fun, but not cartoony.. for me, it hits my spot dead on. I love this tgentry.. I love it so much.

Re: Turn On The Heat

Hey Woot. I've got a friend who is a copyright atty. If I have him do some research on this, will ya listen to his findings?

There's only four shirts in this derby that I would buy and this is one of them. I love the design and I hope it gets into the fog soon.

I've wanted this shirt since I first laid eyes on it, just as I discovered shirt.woot. I hope it wins and if it doesn't win I hope there's some other way to get it.

Re: A lot of aliens

it's a shame the little thumbnail doesn't do this shirt justice.
i'm glad I clicked to see the full design

I love this design. Great line quality. Nice job!

For the longest time I couldn't figure out why I thought this shirt had been cuter the last time I saw it. So apparently, I also like All Hallow's Sleep more. The pumpkin made me happy.

I think you're spot on about it all. Such a great shirt.

Re: piggin' flight (lighter)

Okay. I'm shamelessly begging you to vote for the pig because the pig is too modest to ask you himself. Vote! Vote! please...

I think only a couple people have misunderstood the shirt to be on white. It's clearly on asphalt. The design detail is given in white to make the design itself stand out clearly so buyers know what they're getting. The shirts are obviously asphalt. I'm a little surprised anyone thought it was meant to be a white shirt in the first place.

Re: Buy! Buy! Buy!

This is great I would wear it on Black Friday al the way until Christmas

Re: Puckers of the World

Classy. Funny. And who can say no to an international lip phenomenon!

AdderXYU wrote:I'm probably in the minority, but I liked the sequel (All Hallow's Sleep) better. The pumpkin head makes me fuzzy inside. And who wouldn't buy a warm fuzzy pumpkin head?

Yeah, given the choice, I would've picked All Hallow's Sleep instead.

Re: tag

Yay! I'm not the only one who didn't get it. I thought "tag" meant the name tag. The game of tag never entered my mind at all. I thought "IT" was referring to one of those phrases like "you'll know IT when you see IT" or maybe it was a slam against I.T. guys... Oh well.

...and yeah. Woot does just fine at being woot. It offers one new shirt a day, with 27 different available shirts. Some of it's crap and some of it's awesome - just like their other woot sites. This model covers both the "I like to buy cheap crap on the interwebnets" and the "I like to find unique, tasteful, affordable things on the internets" crowds. They obviously chose the business model for a reason. Would I choose the same model for my business? No. I don't give a lolcat about the "I want to buy cheap crap crowd." It's not my site though, so I don't care. I'll submit my sub-par designs in derbies, my better stuff as dailies, and anything that doesn't make it can be printed later.

I love this design. It looks so cool on the red. I'd buy it...

Re: How to split your chopsticks

i love this shirt!

Me too! I need one for my daughter. Her birthday's coming up and she'd love it.

Isn't this the 3rd derby for this design? Why can't it just win? How does any other shirt get more votes? I want this shirt!

Re: I've heard of the 70's

apostrophe or not, it is my best chance of getting a brown shirt this week and I still cant show it any love.

everyone's heard of the 70s - I don't get it.
meh

as for the apostrophe - here is Hollywood's answer...





no i'm not saying its a trace or knockoff- just that they didnt use one....and hollywood is full of geniuses.....right?

Agree - one of the few times I woulda jumped on a cranberry shirt

I would probably buy 3 also and split it with my friends, we're pretty japanese oriented :D

Re: Going No Where

How can this entry continue surviving the rejectorator when it's so obviously completely derivitive of London's traffic light Christmas tree, if not a tracing of a photo like this one:

It's just wrong.

This shirt rocks! Wish more people were voting for it...

Re: Lightning Bolt

Call me sheltered...In my travels I've yet to come accross a t-shirt with a lone lightning bolt on the front. Where pray tell are these other available lightning bolt t-shirts.

Love me some Woot but this observation will probably get filed with my previous emails regarding the seemingly arbitrary and inconsistant derby rules...

peace out

Great shirt but the shear irony and contradiction in adding an unneeded woot t to my collection prevents me (and should you) from actually purchasing even if it does climb...HA

you'll have to find a shirt with it on there if you really feel the need to get it rejected. Since this is an actual thing in view, anyone can draw it- maybe this artist did. maybe they drew it from memory. Maybe they even used an image like this as a 'reference' and manually traced it. According to woot, any of those are OK, except when a copyrighted image is essentially the only thing in the image, the center of the design, with little independent artistic addition by the designer.

clearly an asphalt shirt not a white shirt.. no confusion there.

A search on cafe press for lightning should yield a number of results...

there is nothing wrong with using a photo of a real thing as a reference.

We pretty much beat this one to death on first appearance. And reference was the opinion of the group after seeing various drafts.

brizz wrote:horrible placement.

I disagree, i love the designs placement. In fact, i hate having centered pictures on my shirts, its all about a side abstract design for me these days. You had my vote right away, and ill definitely buy this one. ^_^

Re: tag
