Re: Russia won the Cold War

I think it works better with the text. I think it would be considered incidential.

Re: 1964: The Viking Invasion

Nice! although it seems that this derby is going to have me singing the Immigrant song for the entire week. GMV!

Re: Obama instead of Gorbachev?

I'd so wear that shirt. GMV!

Re: Egad! It IS made of cheese!

Funny! GMV.

How many of the letters/numbers can you actually make out on the Mona Lisa though? It can be argued that the image is made up of chalk dust, with some incidental text for decoration :P

Re: Amelia Earhart: Wanted for Hole in Ozone

historically - shouldn't she escape througha hole of the Pacific - then again, this is an alternative universe.

Re: Russia won the Cold War

Funny! I don't get the ccc& Ps reference, but I like the m&Ms with the soviet logo on them. GMV!

Re: Evolved Super Hermit Crabs 2 - Recolor

Revoted the resub.

(I read too fast on the last entry and thought you said it was your first derby entry, not first entry to this derby)
Keep up the good work!

Re: MONA

Please remove Albert or at least make him look like he belongs in the design. His head is odd shaped and the paint splatters at the bottom doesn't match the rest of the design.

I think it would work perfectly fine without him, its almost as if you are insulting the viewers intelligence by thinking they wouldn't understand the image without having him there.

Re: John Wilkes Goof

Nice job, I can't stop laughing at this. GMV!

Re: Dodo In Flight

Awesome job! I love the bird's expression!

Re: What if Antarctica drifted north...

Cute! I'd wear it just to mess with people! GMV!

Re: Grand Ol' Flock

AWESOME! I think that might be appropriate these days. GMV!

Not so straightforward for me. I see it's Che, but I don't get the hat...? Maybe if I Google the entry title...

No problem, thanks for the revote Data! I don't plan on stopping anytime soon!

Re: Stressed Out

I would suggest "?!" instead of just the "?". It would be less infringing and look cooler.

Ah, ok.. I guess the "Shoot coward, you're killing only a man" was supposedly Che's last words (although I like "I am Che Guevara and I have failed" better). Still not sure where the baseball hat comes in, though... is the idea "What if Che was a serious Yankees fan?"

Re: Inbreds

Completely understand the rejection, but soooo disappointed.

Re: Obama instead of Gorbachev?

I really loved the UK design, but I'd still wear this one just cuz it satisfies the woot theme very well.

You know, I never realized until now how much Che resembles those Geico cavemen. Just a thought, I think a funny title might be "So easy, a Marxist could do it".

Re: Russia won the Cold War

i love the m&ms inside the star logo, beautifully done!

Re: Prime Minister Obama

i'm gonna keep my fingers crossed and hope this makes it!

Re: terminaber

I was thinking about this concept, but I was going to call it, The Emancipator. Good job! GMV!

Re: Role Reversal

I like the cartoony style! GMV!

jkantczak wrote:My son brought this design to my attention. He thought it was the coolest design for this Derby. I teach 7th Grade math and this is a great example of the importance of accuracy. Rounding is good for estimation and can be used as a short cut, but there's no substitute for exact accuracy. I hope that this design can be re-submitted sometime. Maybe something like 'Estimation at Work' or 'Work in Progress'. My studetns would love this shirt and gt a lesson out of it too! Thanks for the idea and I hope to see it again.

Thanks so much, I was happy to see that so many people liked even if it was rejected.
Incredible success for my first derby entry!

I will do my best to get it within bounds of another woot derby if at all possible. (Unless Woot takes too long and I have gotten it on another site in the meantime...)

Re: Battle of the Iron Clads 2

This is so awesome! GMV! If it doesn't get printed here, make sure to send me a PM to let me know where it does get printed at!

Re: That Gladiator Shirt

Nice! I always enjoyed that show! GMV!

Re: I am a Giraffe!

:D

van Gough and bars don't mix. I am going to do that design next week regardless of the theme. :P

Josephus wrote:that's a concept, not a design.

-edit: Actually, it's a punch line.

Ok that is a very good point.
Now lets think about the shirt itself....
Doesn't it take a little designing to make a blank shirt ?
rhetorical question btw.
Ya he Sheneron didn't design the shirt and there is argument in the fact that similar designs exist, but do not ever say a blank shirt is not a design.
That is just insulting all of the t-shirt fasion designers out there! They are now the victims here! They put all of that work into making there designs fit well and come up with new and different styles and looks for you to say all of there work isn't even a design! I would be so mad if I was one of them. Geese, how could you insult them like that! Shame on you!

Now I'm not saying it shoudn't get rejected, that's what makes all of this fun! But Do Not say a blank shirt is not a design! I see people wearing blank shirts every day! Geese people, haven't you people heard of less is more?

Once I saw a turkey dodge bullets like in the matrix.

Great shirt!

abelleauc wrote:Eh??

Could you explain this to those of us who don't catch the reference? Thanks.

It's pretty simple. It potrays Che wearing a Yankees hat and the title references his supposed last words, now reflecting him being a Yankees fan.

I can't believe some people didn't get this. They should go back to middle school and study a little history.

I think the concept is very funny and I love it. The design is were the shirt faulters. It just is kinda bland and doesn't pop at all. It needs something to make it feel like more than a map on a tshirt. Maybe tinny little characters/landmarks on the map to animate what we're seeing.

Still though, I like it enough to vote.

TBH I wasn't 100% satisfied with the way the suit turned out as a whole, I'm thinking I'll work on it a bit more in my spare time and bag it up for another derby down the line. Thanks for the comments!

PhilSandifer wrote:Really?

I dunno. It seems to me like the "geek references are inherently good shirts" theory, only with 90s pop music instead.

Ooh. It's Kurt Cobain with a cello. There's no joke, is there? It's just Curt Cobain with a cello. It could be Barbara Walters with a cello and be just as funny a shirt. "If you were still a tree, what kind of tree would you be?"

Not really dude; Barbra Walters playing a cello wouldn't be a joke or make any sense because she has nothing to do with music. Cobain, on the other hand, obviously did. Why don't we try a better comparison instead of your Barb Walters one? Think James Hetfield playing a piccolo, or Marilyn Manson on bagpipes. The joke is pretty obvious even it's not ROTFLMAO hilarious.

Re: Prime Minister Obama

how is this not infringing on copyright rules?

I think this will be my first purchase on Woot!. I would love to give you a vote, but I'm sure you will have enough! Great design and art theinfinityloop, and fantastic concept AdderXYU (I read your shirt blog by the way).

Re: Let cake eat them!

A Discussion My 4-year-old and I had about this design:

The Kid: I love this one! I love bad guy cake!
Me: You do?
The Kid: Yes! But where did the two pieces come from? There aren't any holes in the big cake.
Me: Maybe they came from another cake.
The Kid: Oh. Did it have a lot of eyes?
Me: What?
The Kid: 'Cause the two pieces have eyes. The other cake must have a lot of eyes, but this big one only has two.
Me: I guess...
The Kid: How did they know where to cut the other one, so that the eyes would be in the right places?
Me: Maybe they just baked pieces of it?
The Kid: I don't think people do that.
Me: You're probably right.
The Kid: I hate this cake picture.

Sorry you didn't get his vote, but I hope that was mildly amusing. He's probably about as fickle as most woot voters, anyway.

You had a sad sad childhood cobolisdead... =P

Hilarious entry, gotta clean it up a bit though (grainy/rectangle/etc).
Really funny =)
