Shirt.Woot

Doh, just saw Antigra's entry...I really have been working on this concept since Friday morning, it just took me a while to find the time, and I didn't view the previous entries before submitting...great minds think alike, eh?

Re: Canadian Roots

That’s really nice Artulo. Another one of the surprises of a rather uninspiring theme. It’s a little late, but I hope you still get lots of well-deserved votes. gmv.

Re: Canadian Roots

OOOOO, more topography! Shirt looks blue on my screen and goes well with the other colors.

Re: Pour le Poney

Nice.

Re: America's Hat

The png transparency has not been handled well by woot. Live & learn. Ignore the black crap outside the t-shirt.

Re: Canadian Roots

Wow! Very nice..

Hi everyone - was pretty tired when I posted this! It's on a navy tee, thanks for your votes!

Here's a link to a LARGE image!

Re: Wearable Temperature Converter

It's really nice that you aren't being presumptuous. It would seem to me that you were one or the grow fans, so I'd think you'd love this simple design. GMV. I hope it wins. S.E.T.

Re: Pour le Poney

very original...love the play on words (great song btw) and the font. Nicely done! GMV

Jemmacakes wrote:luuurve!!!

Ditto! This contest theme sort of left me luke warm. I don't have enough feelings for Canada either way to want to wear a t-shirt about it, but this shirt is really great. It got my very first ever woot vote! Good luck!

Re: America's Hat

looks like gradients to me...and woot cannot print gradients, sorry

Re: Put the leaf in the flag

OK, I'm still trying to gather more than 42 votes. I don't know what it takes, but maybe there's a contingent out there that understands this one, and will vote for it for comedy value anyway.

Come on, it's just 42 votes!

it did make me laugh. i don't know how wearable it is due to the small audience that would understand it, but gmv for making me laugh. nice job.

Took me a minute also, but now I can't stop. Great job!

Thanks! But I don't plan on winning. I'm not sure I want to win. Just more than 42 votes, that's all I want!

Re: maple leaf

I love this shirt because it is in keeping with the theme without being a cheesie tourist t-shirt that you'd buy at a Niagra Falls trap. Quietly lovely. Good Luck!

ebonyglider wrote:yes please someone explain it

is it because americans are stupid and don't know where canada is?

Yes. We never bother to find out where something is until we are going to bomb it. My geography of Persia is excellent, but I need Mapquest to find anything more than 80 miles away.

Re: America's Hat

one's already been done and gotten rejected. also, do i see gradients? it might just be my imagination...

Re: Put the leaf in the flag

... no. [sorry.]

Re: Canadian Roots

Oh, that's pretty.

The yellow reminds me of beautiful tulip Tracy.
GMV.

I was about to say that I don't know who tulip tracy is, but now I see the filters have switched out the word d*ck. Yes, d*ck tracy I can see that. Was he Canadian?

Re: Wearable Temperature Converter

smart shirt. fashionable and helpful for we americans who travel to canada and can only get weather reports in celcius.

Maybe 5 at the most. Boooo. I'll have to find a more cartoonish picture I guess. Frig. I thought it was a good idea. :-(

I vectored the picture with VectorMagic (www.vectormagic.com).

Re: America's Hat

Dorbie, I think this is the best version I've seen of this theme, but as has been stated, since it's been done before, so woot will not print it.

As dismal as this sounds, I recommend you check what has already been rejected and why (if you put your mouse over a rejected entry on the derby page, a label with the reason will show up). This will give you a clearer picture of what woot is looking for, and save you time and energy before you submit something that won't fly.

That said, I hope you will post more entries soon.

Re: Put the leaf in the flag

IIt occurs to me, judging by some past derby winners, that Wooters love instructional shirts. Therefore, I am doing by best to provide the Wooting community with iinstructional shirts. Behold, my first example!

Re: Put the leaf in the flag

I am guessing that you are parodying Lime in the Coconut. While very funny, this shirt doesn't work as well because:
1- There is no shirt that says "put the Leaf on the Canadian Flag". Unless you are hearing the Lime in the Coconut song, or unless you were on woot last week, it might not occur to you that this is a parody - or of what.
2-The contrast of the colors of this design is not as strong as the aforementioned shirt. The lime green vibrated with the blue background, and the brown produced a soothing affect, drawing people to that shirt like a magnet. The lkight blue of this shirt does nothing for the red and white. Dark blue would be better. Brown would too. It needs a stronger color.
3- The leaf is too large for the white panel of the flag. The brain just rejects things that do not fit. The flag should be larger, in order to keep the detail of the leaf.

I'll vote for this, but I hope you will return the favor and vote for the shirts in my signature.

Thanks for the advice! I definitely need all I can get. The favor will be returned.

By the way, very funny is all I am hoping for. As George Bush would say MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

Re: Ogopogo (Canadian Lake Monster)

its really nice to see a Canada shirt that doesn't have maple leaves or Canadian flags on it. [or "eh] I would love to wear this shirt!

Re: Canadian Blue Hare (le Lapin bleu)

I love the creepy bulgey eyes, gmv

It works because it's clearly parody. You're being way too serious about an entry that is clearly saying "wow, two food items and an arrow is a wearable shirt?"

This wasn't meant to be a winning shirt. It was meant to point out how weak the concept of the last winning shirt was.

vectormagic charges now, don't they?
They do a really good tracing job, though.

Re: maple leaf

Lovely. That is all.

markzero wrote:The randomness of the NUMBERS didn't bother you?

YES! I love me my Aaarrrgyle, but on this one the colors at first and then the numbering completely throws it off IMO. I do like the Boxing Day is 1226 (absolutely randomly, but it obviously works)

Otherwise, besides the way Mike Honcho refers to himself like that, pointing out the beaver positioning is very annoying. Thank you woot for rejecting so many absurd beavers!

Re: Wearable Temperature Converter

Thanks for all the kind words, especially from those of you who's arms know no cold. The colors might be iffy, but if a unified field theory holds, the state of particles at the big bang predetermined every subsequent state of the universe, so unless you believe in something beyond the physical which can still alter the physical, the design with these colors has been a certainty for billions of years. But I guess any distaste for the colors is a similarly derived state of particles/energies in the mind, so there's no use arguing with what must be. Happy St. Patty's Day!

Re: sashimi bear

you just never know who's going to show up in a woot t-shirt. potentially.
