This is going to be a wild one- could go anywhere or when.

Oh boy! I'm sure we're going to see some crazy entries! Have fun!

Great theme for my return to the derby. Hopefully the brain juices will flow and I'll be busy tonight

"and two, stay far, far away from copyrighted images, concepts, etc."

Does that mean no video game/movie/TV/etc references? It sounds like it to me

No, just a Star Wars ref.

I hope people understand, that for accuracy's sake, we'll likely be seeing a number of white shirts this week.

Souvenir shirts are almost ALWAYS white.

I really like this one. I was expecting space someday but thought it would be its own derby.

I don't think they'd do 'space' as a theme so soon after 'night'. In a month or two maybe.

Anyone taking bets on the number of dr. who shirts we'll see?

not since they already mentioned avoiding copyrights.

Copyright...Agh. This would have been a perfect time for a MST3k shirt.

Except in the future, where they are exclusively offered in Banana Yellow.

And in the very distant past, where they were only offered in burlap.

Are national monuments considered "copyrighted images, concepts, etc."?

Probably lots of them might look different in the future. You know, after the grand canyon is all filled in with sediment and the great pyramids are a popular beach front resort...

Hmm...Does American Apparel offer burlap in the 2001 model?

I would venture a guess and say that depictions of national monuments are NOT protected, and even so, if you did something like what you're saying, it might be considered 'parody'.

But don't take my word for it...

I guess the proof that time travel is impossible is that we never see time tourists stumbling around with maps. If it was EVER invented at any time in the future...they would be here.

I see people stumbling around with maps in tourist traps all the time. How do we know that some of them aren't from the future?

I think someone else's photo of a nat'l monument might be protected, but if you have your own photo, you'd have the right to use it.

Except for the theory that time travel will only be possible as far back as the machine existed.

I have two ideas already... could be a good week!

I wouldn't think so.

I'm pretty sure in the future everything is chrome.

this is the point in the day when i think of a great idea and then fret for 22 hours that someone else had the same idea and is doing it better than me.

Beats not having any ideas at all, Mr. Jack.

Sigh.

black holes are really hard to do in 6 or less colors.

haha

well, by "great", i mean it's great in my head. it could be a gigantic pile of poo.

And not having anything is better than having a pile of poo...at least in my book.

I see a blank black shirt in your future.

But in the future they may not be ;-)

A giant pile of poo might be a monument in the future

Not to give anything away but there is a certain 'Fleet' and some 'Stars' that I have a good idea for but, I'm thinking it's too close to that invisible boundary line of the woot reject hammer...

Not that difficult really... almost anything directly referencing a tv show or movie... probably off limits. use of recognizable corporate logos... probably off limits. Variations on designs already on sale somewhere else... probably off limits. When in doubt about the third a quick google image search might help.

Then again... I don't control the bat.

I think woot's aim this week is to prevent a flurry of shirts based on Star Trek, Star Wars, Dr. Who, Back to the Future, Sliders, The Time Machine, etc. etc.

There are plenty of original ideas out there, both past and future, there's no need to go for the copyrighted stuff.

agreed.

Can we use religious 'stuff'?
