Shirt.Woot

I've a younger sister with a birthday next month for whom I've been building a collection of penguin shirts from Woot.

Sadly, she won't be adding to it this year. Between the price increase and the poor quality/sizing of the new blanks, I just can't justify a purchase.

Sorry little sis ... too bad you're one of the former WS wearers now left out in the cold by the supplier switch. O_o

I've always wanted Listen to Your Conscience. :D :D :D

Also, bunnies FTW!!!!!

Man! I've always wanted The Aviator but it's probably going to come on the Anvil Tees now. Dang.

Does anybody know where the hoodies are made?

I would have gotten Slow and Steady if it was on AA. Another disappointment.

Hoodies are made in Honduras. Best I figured out in the past, Gildan G185 (pullover) and G186 (zip up).

Wonder why Ironic Bunny is the only one not available on a short sleeve tee?

A SIDE SALE FEATURING MY FAVORITE ANIMAL. YES.

TEAM PENGUIN.

HIGH FIVE!

It looks like all three baby blue shirt, Killer Penguin, and In Addition... are all printed on AA in women's sizes.

Also, why is there no penguin tote bag? I'd love No Bowling!!! To be featured on a tote bag.

THE AVIATOR!! I've been trying to get this shirt for forever. Can't decide between a zip up (to wear over 'Why Can't I Fly, Friend?') or a long sleeve shirt (cheaper). Too bad the t-shirts are on Anvil or I would just buy two of those instead.

I purchased One Flight Per Customer just now :D - Debating on purchasing the Aviator hoodie too. Titanic is coming out this week (one of my favorite movies) - so I'll see at the end of the week if I'll purchase it.

PS: the "nguin" is faaaar superior to the "turbu" in the world of potentially clichéd shirt.woot designs.

Bunnies - Annoying furballs with a sharp bite and near-viral reproduction capabilities.

Penguins - The most adorable creatures ever to grace this planet with existence. The list of endearing behavior is nearly endless: waddling, tobogganing, exhibiting no almost no fear of humans, etc. I mean, I could watch their antics for hours on end. (I may or may not actually do this via "penguin cams" when my life becomes particularly stressful...)

Clearly, this is a completely unbiased commentary.

This does not bode well for my wallet.

I thought it through and opted for the long sleeve tee. USA made, and I don't see myself needing a thicker hoodie here in SoCal for many months to come now.

(FWIW, I have the t-shirt already.)

Anyone know how how the sizes for zip up hoodies compare to AA t-shirt sizes?

I used to get men's medium AA t-shirts and they fit pretty snug/tight. Don't want a hoodie that's too baggy, and prefer to have it go to about waist length.

Alright Woot, I think that's enough of this 'bringing back the old designs' thing. You've done it a half dozen times now. At first it was great, we were all excited to get a chance at one of those T-shirts we missed or a cool poster of it or whatever. It was a cool special, it was only for Christmas.. or for Halloween... or for New Years...

Not because it's a Tuesday.

It's getting a bit old. Either open a separate portion of the site and allow us to buy old designs (destroying the original idea that the designs were only available for one day, to get them when you could... however the Reckoning has really already led to the demise of this idea..)

Or cut this out.

Seriously.

Thanks,
A fellow Wooter.

I HATE that these end on midnight on Sundays! I've missed out on buying these things on 3 or 4 occasions because of the deadline.

I check every day, but work till after midnight on Sundays. With my budget, I look early in the week, and decide by payday whether or not I'm going to buy... then I come here after work on Sunday and miss last weeks offerings! (Yes, I realize I have a week, but none of these have been insta buys with my wallet situation, so I have to wait).

I would have bought all 3 sets of mini prints last week... (hint hint woot, I will still purchase these if at all possible... I know you havent started production yet).

and once again, my wallet makes a narrow escape. if these had been pullovers, i'd have bought at least 4 of the above.

Bunnies AND Penguins? And yet Imposter is nowhere to be seen. Bunguins don't count?

Finally, I can get Eatser Bunny for my sister...too bad it will arrive at least a week after Easter. Longer than that since I chose the free super slow shipping, but hey, they aren't shipping until the Wednesday after Easter anyway!

I hope Imposter is never reprinted. Thieves should not be rewarded.

You should go through and check each one... some are still available in AA's in kids'and women's sizes!

I'm pumped about the AA blanks! I'm going to buy maybe one or two today that I really like... and if there isn't any more good shirts this week than I'll probably grab some of my "second choices" this weekend. Although, I've got some high hopes for the derby this week!

So many penguin shirts that I'd love to buy.. I wish I didn't hate the new shirts with a fiery passion.

I do appreciate woot bringing back these old shirts (mostly because 1/3 or so of them are printed on the old shirts).

Probably because they're trying to get rid of their blue, white & cream AA.

Hmm, I don't wear long sleeves until it's colder than hoodie weather: shirt -> shirt + hoodie -> long sleeve+ hoodie

But, I'm edging towards the shirt. I like my zip ups tight so they don't bunch and woot doesn't have XS. I don't really wear long sleeves but I could always use a t-shirt as a template to cut the sleeves off. Has anyone tried this?

Edit: Wait, the K12s are on AA. Darnit, now I have another option to decide between.

None of her's should ever be after what happened ... speaking of which, I still have an incidental copy of Music is Life that I have to get rid of, either through a trade or the BBQ pit.

Creme are Anvil blanks, hence a by TrekMiss and I.

Slarti59 wrote:Hmm, I don't wear long sleeves until it's colder than hoodie weather: shirt -> shirt + hoodie -> long sleeve+ hoodie ...

It's usually t-shirt > long sleeve -> hoodie for me. They're AA (2007) shirts, so it's not like they're thick or anything.

No meatatarian? I just have to say I got this shirt in a trade and am quite pleased with it.

I am also hesitant about buying some of these tees, I know baby blue should still be in AA but I thought woot was out of AA Asphalt. Not sure if I should chance paying a premium price for a sub-par product.

And before people suggest the long sleeves I am from Arizona, not nearly cold enough.

I serously doubt Woot would ever reprint a Sekiyoku after banning her. The "good" news though is that Ramyb is still around, has been in just about every side sale so far and the two are pretty much exactly the same artistically.

Boy, I'm sure glad that these side sales are devoted to promoting artists who rarely print, and shirt designs which weren't big sellers on their first go-around.

*sigh* One step closer to no more shirts.

You forgot to add "/s" ;)

Where are you getting that idea about the side sales?

I mean, yes that's an option, but from the start, they've included some popular designs in with the less popular ones. I don't recall them saying anything that implied they would only re/print less popular designs.

Yeah, I'm sure it's intentional. I haven't really felt inspired to complain because while they keep sticking a sticking a Ramy in there, they also include a Drakxxx, or Cmdixon, or Robbie Lee, or hell they even reprinted an Edgar.

Even in this most sickeningly cute overdone theme of an event there are a couple of cool ones.

+1. Everyone's going to have different opinions anyways.

My perspective ... I feel the artist mix has been reasonable. A little too much leaning towards a couple artists, but last I checked, Woot is still a business.

Yay, I can finally get my own copy of Upon Closer Inspection... Thanks shirt.woot. I missed it the first time around.

I can't tell you how absolutely excited I am to see Bun Bun reprint. I've been trying to (trade/buy/ransom) another one for a while - my husband loves that shirt. My younger son was born while my husband was wearing that shirt.

We'll be buying (at least one) regardless, but does anyone know if it's going to print on an AA blank or an Anvil blank?

Thanks for any information.
