Re: 1992 (Asimov)

I love the shirt, but is anyone else getting a Crnl Sanders vibe from it? I love Asimov, and all, I just keep thinking KFC whenever I see it. Sorry.

I think it has to be the glasses and the hand placement, I do really love it and these kind of shirts though.

Re: 1999 Episode One

the fact that you were born in 1999 and are now old enough to submit this shirt... makes me feel old.

other than that, this shirt is pretty awesome.

oh, though it did throw me for a loop to see a pacman ghost- that's definitely not a 1999 thing

Re: 1981

glad to see this shirt doing well- I really like it!

Re: 1970: When time(3) began

Agh, I should have clipped the legend and previewed the scaled shirt image. (Claims newb first-timer innocence)

Re: 1987: Mario Vs TMNT

I'm going to be mad if this doesn't win. My birth year plus my biggest obsession.. ninja turtles.. plus mario = need.

Re: 1977 - Dark Side RESUB

I would vote for this one but that's the death star from Jedi (1983) not A New Hope (1977)

(Why, yes. I am a hopeless nerd)

Re: 1988

The typeset is kinda off...

Re: 1980

Can someone tell me why this was rejected?

Re: 1986

Love this design.. and love even more that it's actually wearable! Really hope it prints.

I love this so much!!!

I disagree, The character actually has a giant wind up dial on it's back, and shoes. Mine is simply a bomb, with what is either eyes or two reflective dots on it.

Re: 1985: Year of the Plumber

I'm a couple years older than the plumber, but I love this shirt! Definite must have if it prints.

Re: 1974: It's Alive!

Frickin' brilliant - I can even see Gene Wilder and Marty Feldman in those faces. One of the best you've ever done.

PEMDAS

Re: 1976

Honestly, I thought it was George Carlin and the preface to his saying the 7-dirty words when I saw the thumbnail.

Re: 1979: Rings of Jupiter

In 1977 the Voyager 1 photos reveal Jupiter's rings.

Re: 1979: Rings of Jupiter

I have no idea why I typed 1977 there. 1979 is the year it happened, as well as the year I was born. >.< I think I need to finish my coffee before I type anything, from now on.

Re: 1984

I was really surprised that none of my fellow 84ers addressed Transformers.

Re: 1978: Test Tube Babies

This is Heavy, MAN... Way Too many metaphors!
OOps,, Now I gota look up what's a meta, for?

A Man can say more in a picture than would be heard in words.. good job,, man

I did base the design off this picture:





Actually, I used this picture

I does have a certain southern fried aspect to it.

I am neither a NASA employee, nor an Astronaut, and have never been either one, but I would wear the heck out of this shirt (assuming it looked nearly as good printed as it does here).

Glad you like it!

The song was #1 the day I was born... I figure why not share the perpetual RickRoll love ;)

I believe that the Pacman and (to a lesser degree) Star Wars design details open the design to IP and copyright issues.

Other designs rejected this derby with Pacman and Star Wars references.

• 1983
  
• 1977 - Dark Side
  
• Munching Ghosts Since 1980
  
• 1980 - Pacman
  

Re: 1982 v2

I really like this. I kind of wish that it didn't have the cream colored background, though. The design itself is great, though.

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it!

I've had the same inkling myself when I was really rooting for shirts.

Thank you!

So what is it referencing?

April 12th, 1961 - In a flight lasting 108 minutes, Russian cosmonaut, Yuri Gagarin, was the first human to orbit the Earth. This event intensified a Space Race between former Soviet Union and the USA.
A month later, on May 05th, 1961, Alan Shepard becomes the first American to travel into space, followed by Gus Grissom on July 21st, 1961.
In addition some Monkey piloted a spacecraft that year, but sadly it didn't make it back to Earth alive.
1961 is the year when president J F Kennedy announced before Congress his goal to put a "man on the moon" before the end of the decade.

This is definitely referencing Metroid, but it's done almost like the MLB and NHL designs, so I don't know if anything else is represented.

It is indeed a Metroid shirt. I was going to smash in there some Zelda and other games but went for something a little simpler.

saintronin wrote:So what is it referencing?

The original Metroid came out in 1986 in Japan.

I looked up Basewars after I read your comment and it looks like this could very well be the pitcher from the cover art of the game. So if you want to sport it as a Basewars shirt, more power to you!

After all my wife said the Samus morph balls looked like baseballs from far way.

Yes, this was pointed out in the first version of the shirt as well. =D

I'm going for a general beginning of the Star Wars franchise, rather then specifically the first movie only. The shape also doesn't actually match either of the Death Stars, I took some liberties to make the joke.

Re: 1981 A Legend is Born

My dentist as a kid had this at their office (no quarters required). I was never afraid of the dentist after that.

Re: Bicentennial Baby! 1976

1976 was a good year for me.

You will have to rally alot of votes to get this design in the fog... something like 200 right now. But I will actually end up tossing it up on Redbubble after the derby ends if it never gets to the be made here.
