Shirt.Woot

squidboots wrote:Hear hear...I personally think this design is in poor taste...who would ever want to wear a shirt specifically focusing on the rather depressing manner of death of a cultural icon?

Appologies to all who are offended by this shirt. I personally feel it is wise to remember that fame is oft short lived and many times ends in less than glorious ways. I do not find humor in death itself, and I do not feel that a persons demise is an introspective into one's life. I was simply trying to make light of an otherwise sad event... I'm still learning the tastes of the ultimate consumer and expect that I will stumble on my way to developing a general understanding of it.

To that effect I humbly submit:
1977: Elvis in memorium...

Knew it was going to be rejected because of the text, but it is done beautifully!! Can it be saved and used for a different derby - if the theme fits? It is so funny, and cute, at the same time :D

Re: Star Wars Trivial Births...

Hey woot Staff... feel free to pick better colors... I'm color-blind... so have at it. I'm SURE there could be a better use of colors here.

I'm learning... No Star Wars, and you do not have the date in the title...

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but this will be rejected. Please take a look at some of the rejected shirts in this derby and you'll see that Star Wars shirts get rejected because of copyright infringement. Also they are rejected when they have more than six ink colors. Lastly, they're rejected when they don't have the year number in the title.

You can remove your shirt by clicking on the red "x" above your entry. Then you can submit a different shirt design when you're done. Thanks for entering!

There a way to change the title without reuploading the whole thing?

Re: 1982: Thriller

Hey... I think the reason behind his appeal to many is unknown, but for some reason his music is just impossible to dislike. I don't consider him my idol, but I think he might be my neighbor... Check out the movie Bubba Ho-Tep if you ever desire to see what Elvis would be like now..

Gotcha... no problem. Not like I spent much time on it.

Thanks for the FYI. Taking it down now...

pamipa wrote:There a way to change the title without reuploading the whole thing?

No, there's not, I'm afraid. But the shirt will be rejected anyway because of copyright infringement and over six ink colors. Sorry about that.

You're welcome.

AdderXYU wrote:You've seen the most popular shirts every derby, right?

Not to say I don't own a cool breeze (I don't think the printing is that much of an issue) but to claim popularity is quality is still, as it has been, foolish. Do I own it? Yes. Is it on my top 10? Not hardly.

Meh, give the people what they want. Cool Breeze has sold far more than any other shirt, so obviously the *drastic* color problems you have found in both that and this entry must not ruin the shirt eh? This is a cool design, and I think it still would be even if none of the dark brown were to show up, but I think Woot will do a little better than you expect. Another thing to note is that Woot has only one brown color for the actual T-Shirts...they do however have more than one shades of brown for the print, so you can't say the same problem of not being able to match the brown right will happen on this shirt like it did on Cool Breeze.

Re: 1982 Born Again Shirt

ACTUAL photograph, eh? l ol! I love the plug! You did very well. =D

Re: 1987- NOT COPYRIGHTED full metal jacket

Did you seriously think adding the words "not copyrighted" in all caps was going to stop them from rejecting this again?

Are you for real? Look again..

Re: 1982 Born Again Shirt

hahahaha!!

Re: 1985 - Buckminsterfullerene (super geek version)

It'd be pretty sweet if this made it to the fog.
I love this shirt!

I was about to post the same thing.
I had a 76 and a 79 T/A years ago.
I miss them too.

Too bad it's not the correct car

BTW the Bandit car is a 78

It looks just like my dad's old 1983 Toyota Tercel Hatchback that I learned to drive on.

Jewdave wrote: Was 1977 that crappy of a year?

Sadly yes. All I got out of 1977 from the designs so far was a few people died.

I'm voting on this because I like nearly anything with a circuit board on it ;)

Re: 1972

I, too, love circuitry on shirts. Voted, even though this is a few years before my time.

*click vote* oh why not. It's super geeky

Might be a bit of a 'duh' becuase of the first part of my user name (yes chosen for this author) but thumbs up from here <3

Re: 1979 - First Publication of the Neverending story

Love this movie, I'll have to read the book now..

Re: 1984: Robots in Disguise

Great color choices and so awesome! gmv

Re: [url=http://shirt.woot.com/Derby/Entry.aspx?id=13172]

Very cool design, but they can't print all the way to the bottom seam either.

This is almost indecipherable and will look awful if it actually gets printed. I love the idea, but the execution is just bad bad bad...jam on it.

I agree with the whole voting for the idea rather than execution spiel, but I think if this particular shirt was any "better" executed, it'd be stepping on several copyrights' toes.

Re: 1963 Search for the real Bobby Fischer {resub}

I like the look of this second one Taylor. Nicely done!

Re: 1969 - Woodstock

Finally getting a few minutes to look through the listings. Wanted to see who else was born in 1969!

Cool! I was born the same time as CreationsfromChaos! Another woodstock babe! Like your take on the period as well!

Re: 1972: Watergate

Patch! I thought you were older than me! Neat take on Watergate. The design has such a feeling of peace...even though you are identifying a pretty turbulent point in history.

Really?!? That's very cool! Well I'm glad I got your vote then! I'm loving all the information I've learned about this since I first entered it.

Re: 1975 Oh So Cool! (Resub)

This reminds me of a picture of my dad...but he was standing in front of a Datsun 280Z...don't forget the medalion hanging from the neck. So...70s!

Re: 1979: SOMETHING GOES WRONG

This a resub of my design, I think this one is far superior, but probably doesn't have enough time.

Re: 1978 - First Test Tube Baby Was Born

This design might do great on maternity shirts.

I really liked the design on purple! I know more people like light blue, and it works well on that, but it just goes POW on purple.

Re: 1963 JFK ETERNAL FLAME

very moving

I was joking, 2th. He said it was an actual photo. Get it?
