This is an old design that got rejected for pop culture, I'm glad I had a chance to put it back up. I hope you like it.

Edit: Thanks to WierdBMD for the original idea; it's been a while haha.

I've been on both sides of this scenario. It seems like the last man standing always has a few good rolls in him. GMV

When feasible, always go for Australia. Nice work on this!

Awesome entry. I have been in that situation before and it sucked.

Exactly my thoughts! My older brother would make me play Risk with him, and this is how it ended EVERY time.

Awesome design!

I'd vote for this one in a heartbeat if the soldiers weren't yellow. It's too easy to be accused of racism.

I'd vote for this one in a heartbeat except that the soldiers are yellow and, while I don't think the artist intends it, it's open to accusations of racism

I must first say that this derby as a whole is pretty weak. But that being said, this is far and away easily the best shirt in it. +1

I like it, but I think it'd look better on a blue shirt. Either way it looks great!

That's such a stretch. One of the original colors of the game pieces was yellow. I think they were all simple colors: blue, red, yellow, green & black.

As an Australian who hears racist Australian's refer to the "yellow invasion" and the "yellow threat" in reference to our Asian neighbours, I don't feel it's a stretch.

I'm not saying the artist has that intent. I'm not saying most people wouldn't see it as the innocent picture it is. All i'm saying is that I as an anglo-Australian would expect and could hardly fault the offence this might generate from some people.

Which is a shame because I love this design.

I thought the same thing. No presumption of intent on the artists part, but yeah, could easily be interpreted that way.

So you Aussies are known to be red, then?

Re: The Final Stand


The only problem I have with this shirt is that there are only 5 armies on the board. I know that it's just for the "The Final Stand" effect, but if you've got all of Australia, and you've only got 5 armies there, you're doing it wrong. End of story.

(BTW, pun FULLY intended)

Does anybody have a http://shirt.woot.com/offers/cloak-of-visibility-lightweight-hoodie and/or http://shirt.woot.com/offers/who-needs-gravity-zip-up-hoodie in MXL that they don't want and/or need to sell? I would LOVE to buy it from you! I am currently offering $40+S&H for either one new, and $20-30+S&H for either one used! Please contact me ASAP, thanks!
