Evil! I like it.. Personally, I'd have the "OCD" straight in the day version, and crooked in the night version though.

Thanks for the feedback !

I debated this... mostly I was worried about leaving the day version too subtle to stand on its own. Whereas I felt okay making the night version a little more subtle.

Plenty of time to change it if people don't like it this way though :P

Not a fan of baby blue shirts. How does it look on Navy?

Dude, you're killing me.
(Outside of the obvious "D") I'm looking at this thing going "this bit is out of alignment, that bit is off center, the other bit has inconsistent color....then I realize it's all intentional.
I hate you.

Kinda morbid, what?

Wow, voting hasn't even opened and we've used the phrase "demon scrotum"?


This is going to be a great derby.

I know this isn't going to be a popular viewpoint, but if you knew what OCD really is, you wouldn't be doing this.

A while back, a similar shirt was rejected due to sensitivity about real diagnosed OCD. I think this will meet the same fate/controversy. Change it to anal? Actually don't do that. Perfectionist? Something that's not a medical condition.

Actually, the creator of that shirt graciously removed it. As far as I know, Woot did not remove it and I'm not sure they would have.

Disclaimer: I have OCD. It rules every moment of my life. I recently re-started treatment. It took me over a month to find a therapist, because there are so few trained to treat OCD using the preferred method.

I also have a sense of humor. One time, I might have found this funny. But this isn't really what OCD is, and graphic t-shirts and memes have turned this very serious illness into little more than a joke in the public eye. Please don't perpetuate that myth.

I tried it, but there was too much contrast, what with all the white. I like it better high key and jolly.

Then go YELLOW! All the way!

(I wish yellow shirts got more love- not that I make many designs on that color either)

Something similar has most like been done before, but if somebody wants to make an awesome version:
A shirt with a glow in the dark fetus. We are pregnant and I think that would be cool to see one thing in the day and a fetus at night. Although the market would be pretty limited to pregnant ladies it might also be funny to see fat dudes wearing the shirt.

The fat dude version would have a beer in it.

I second this idea. This is a great concept!

New to ShirtWoot Derby; Where do we upload images? Or is this a hidden form that shows up mysteriously like glow-in-the-dark images? 8)

Yes. It will show up on the derby page at 12 PM CST.

Thanks! Looking forward to this..

Lol. That's really all I got in response to that.

Hey everyone! I'm still new to this (it's only my 2nd derby) but check out my design:

I know nothing. How do I make a swatch for each of these day and night glow colors in adobe illustrator? I opened the template so I assume I am in the right color mode from the beginning. Sorry to be so dumb and stupid.

You could just save the photo tgentry put and open it in illustrator, then eyedropper it, or simply enter the color code... Is that what you mean?

That will work. I was trying to find the color pallet option for this particular style, hex? I was looking at my list and it had pantone styles and others. Maybe I need to download this particular color style. I am an amateur and I do appreciate your help. I will ask these type of questions in the appropriate forum next time.

Tried entering in the code, but maybe I was doing it in the wrong place.

Anyone have a good example of what one of these shirts actually looks like when printed out? How well does the glow in the dark ink work?
