He probably shot himself in the foot creating the new version. Most of the people who got the original V in the fog probably have no voted for the v 2.0, since they may not realize it is a different version.

Thanks! Though it unintentionally looks like the Sounders, I'll take it if people like it for that reason. Sounders fans unite!

Re: Galactic Misunderstanding (resub)

I think this would do better with a different thumbnail. You're sort of burying the lede here.

Re: We Want a Rematch!(and some seatbelts)

I think this would be better without the drag marks. They end up looking like a tee pee. But I really like the overall design.

Wow. In the fog. Weird. I debated whether or not to even submit this one! This is one I wish didn't require the intergalactic aspect and could be just regular foosball players. I tried throwing in an alien overlord but it just didn't quite work so i made the players aliens who mashed the rules of soccer and foosball to make their own sport, fuzeball.

Anyway, I hope you like it.
For those complaining about the ball. I figured the ball bounced back from his goal or they already dropped a new one in. I wanted to include the ball in some way.

Thanks for voting everyone!

Re: That's how we play it in the Milky Way!

I really wish they hadn't made this derby about space soccer specifically. Otherwise, this could have been a truly kickass space chariot race shirt.

I like your design, but the ball under his foot looks more like a volleyball than a soccer/football

Re: With just a few Changes

I love it!!! I always thought we were merely puppets upon a stage...


I could do without the bruises when I played though, guys... no respect for the puppets XD

Great job, Mito!

Re: That's how we play it in the Milky Way!

Agreeing with the peanut gallery about the soccer ball, but it's still a wicked design.

Nice, I like it much better without the brain. GMV

Is it on navy or black?

brilliant!

Fears Reject...Fictional Universe

Just my take, but I think they were thinking more along the lines of very established universes with characters and story lines that are expansive.

The idea of this video game is a simple generic concept, aliens coming down from space to kill, unit on ground to kill aliens. Not much of a universe is involved with that from a very simple game.

But, we'll see on judgment day when the rejectionator get's his game on Monday.

Re: nova

I like this...but it needs a lighter/brighter background color. Or shirt.

Re: Roswell Soccer Club

I'm not stating my opinion of this shirt but I do predict it will place in the top three.

Re: We Want a Rematch!(and some seatbelts)

Yep this will be the winner I can feel it. I think!

The Twin Jet Nebula. Also known as the Wings of the Butterfly Nebula and the Siamese Squid Nebula.

Re: Fuzeball 5000

Finally, a shirt that I can vote for. Good spin on a terrible derby!

Great colors.

When it was created it was a very specific and original concept. It's akin to saying Lord of the Rings is a generic concept simply because there are so many fantasy stories out there like it. Thus if you made a direct reference to Lord of the Rings you wouldn't be pulling from it's universe because fantasy stories are all over the place. Of course that's ridiculous. The designer didn't approach it as a generic space battle, he/she very specifically chose a title to recreate rather than make it generic. The very act of referencing a specific title (using identical designs from that game world) makes it the opposite of generic. Had he just used the idea of a ship being attacked by alien invaders that would have probably been free and clear since the rules go on to state: Generic eggheaded aliens, slavering tentacled monsters, etc. are acceptable. These aren't generic characters.


The definition of a universe as woot used it: "The sphere or realm in which something exists or takes place." Space Invaders has a space in which something takes place, and using the invaders is making reference to that universe. The size or scope of it is irrelevant, as is the extent of the story. I think it's apparent that this is exactly the kind of thing they were hoping to avoid in this derby: using someone else's SF ideas or IP as the basis for your entry. Just because Space Invaders is "simple" doesn't mean it's not it's own universe and subject to the same derby rules. I think it's apparent we were supposed to use original material this derby. As you said we'll find out when the rejectionator hits.

I think maybe you're just trying to bump off the competition.

Well, go for it, I say.

Re: Classic Play

Only in the Woot universe do we argue over what a universe is! Well I guess quantum physics too.

Re: Out of this world play V.2

please, please! +1

Re: Super Galactic Smash Soccer

yea!!!!!! my favorite artist here... Lucky!

instant +1

Re: 2129

This is beyond generic and boring. This derby is terrible, but this?!

Re: Super Galactic Smash Soccer

Cheers walmazan, you're one of my absolute favs too!

Re: Out of this world play V.2

I love this!!! +1

Re: How Will They Welcome Us?

Ha! Very funny!

Re: Galactic CrossFire

Galactic Crossfire... you'll get caught in it. CROSSFIRE! For those who don't quite remember the 90's...: Original CrosssFire commercial

And yes this game is a sport of galactic proportions, especially when played with the theme song... and when the loser gets swept into a fiery, spiraling oblivion.

Re: Now Safe For Human Involvement

Hi!

Re: [url=http://shirt.woot.com/Derby/Entry.aspx?id=42787]

Wow! Love it. The detail of the reflection on the helmet was just an awesome touch.

Re: Disqualified (resub)

I thought this design would benefit from more explanation of what's going on. Team Handoria has just been informed that they will not be eligible to play in the Intergalactic Football Cup. The team exits the stadium in low spirts.

Re: GALAXY LEAGUE

Wow this is absolutely brilliant. An incredible design and concept, nice job!

Re: Football Stadium incomplete, is.

clever :D +1

Re: Disqualified (resub)

looks even better than v1 +1
