Shirt.Woot

Re: Man Down!

I love this, and can't figure out why it's not getting more votes. Maybe the shirt color/ position of design on shirt?

I liked it.. better luck next time!

thats crapp.. you can sell a shirt that says "shirt.woot!" for greater than 24hrs which was a total sellout logo... whatever.. and this very covert reference which would mean nothing to the average joe gets rejected?? I call shenanigans!

L O L I'm glad you appreciate my humor. Thanx.

This is the Chinese Character for Emergency.

Whose wood are you touching? Is that allowed in here??

That's not to say I don't like the shirt. I'm just questioning the limits of the stop-sign rule for future reference. This would seem to set a precedent if allowed to go through to the end.

The stop sign rule seems to be another example of a rule loosely-defined enough to allow woot to keep shirts that they think will make money but which any independent arbiter would assess as breaking the rule, much like the "we won't print anything unoriginal" rule, or the "this is too close to a shirt we've already printed" rule. The Derby doesn't seem to be about a fair competition but about woot getting to print 3 shirts that will make a bunch of money. Personally, I think the contest could be both, but that might require a bit of effort and a LOT more transparency in the rejection decisions.

Re: Royal Twenty

Duh, whatever, this one needs to be rejected because it has too many colors! ;)

This one is really, REALLY funny! I'm glad that we can still maintain our sense of humor in light of all that has been happening around here lately. Nice work! Bravo!

I bought two of your Chasing Windmills (unfortunately for you, I got them on first day. Sorry). Not a fan of baby blue, but I would wear this. If you keep these coming I will be going very broke. it GMV.

Re: The Purple Menace (perty mouth)

Nice! I like this one even better... gmv

Re: Squid In Love - Danger

Wow. Great response to one I "just threw together." Thanks All.

Re: Squid In Love - Danger

Funny!

artulo wrote:Thanks for the opinion. I ditched the frayed parachute because it was bothering me, like a weak point in the design. The solid clouds were also making the shirt too "bottom heavy" and actually went through nine versions before this one was selected.

I also saw the mock-up. I like the finished version better, and want this shirt and the shirt by dekonstruct. I needs them in my closet!

Re: Emergency Umbrella

Ahh... I wish it were ranked higher... I love this shirt and the kiwi shirt by artulo. Currently the only ones I have voted for, but I will check the other designs. But I love them both and hate that there is yet another tree shirt and another bird shirt in the Fog. Ridiculous! There were plenty of those previously and still some for sale.. I want change. And these shirt. Enough said.

Except that I do like birds and trees. Just not really on my shirts. In the outside area sounds good to me.

Uggh. Sleepy time now.

Re: Oh no

I think I would prefer a different placement. Perhaps bottom corner-ish area? It would feel more as if it were falling, in my opinion, which is a definite tragedy. I likes me coffee.

Re: Halp! Dinner in 3...2...1...

Awww.. I am sad that it isn't getting many votes. I love the fishy's face. I do wish that the cat in the back ground were better defined though.

Re: Royal Twenty

I've never seen a cartoon like this before, so it must be okay! In for 3!

Re: Royal Twenty

20 shirts for the price of 1? Sign me up!

Re: Royal Twenty

Dunno, if you unfocus your eyes, reduce it to 50 x50 pixels add another shirt and turn off your monitor it kinda looks like some design I saw 12 years ago in a local newspaper. . . sorry dude

Re: Royal Twenty

You guys are jackasses.

Re: Sudden Death

I really like this!

So many great designs this week I wish Woot would print more then three of them.

I really liked this one, maybe the eject wording was too small, and people didn't get it from the small pic on the derby display page. Simple, nice design, original, and iconic.

i dont know what kind of wood you are thinking but touch wood is something someone says when they just said something bad and they dont want it to happen

like i said, even if it does NOT win, and i dont want that to happen so i say touch wood

Funny, during an early stage of the design, my boyfriend said it reminded him of something from Super Mario. He said it must have been the face. I can promise you it wasn't intentional!

*giggles* awsome shirt, love it. Resub in another derby please!

"Knock on wood" is the phrase I am more familiar with. (I was just poking fun, geez!!)

Re: Fire Escape

WOW.. Off-topic, much?

Re: Tuesday is gonna be rough (resub)

I cannot for the life of me figure out how this is in the top four. I agree it is funny, but I don't believe that everyone that voted for this would actually buy it and wear it!

Re: Royal Twenty

I really like how it's on a shirt color that none of the designs are on. l o l

Re: I don't have much left, Martha.....I love you..

Love!!! LoveLoveLoveLoveLoveLoveLoveLoveLoveLoveLove! Edgar, please open your own T-shirt shop..

Hell, just sell prints! I already have a slew of prior designs of yours I'd love to hang on my wall. =)

P.S. My mom's name is Martha =D

Re: cat-tastrophy

I'm not sure the black would show up on Asphalt.. I think all you'd end up seeing were the cat eyes. That aside, the art is better than most winners I've seen.. good art, bad colour choices.
