Re: 1988- It's a bird, it's a plane

I think this should be ok so long as woot puts down a good layer of ink. I love this plane, it's so sexy.

Re: 1968

Nothing against RFMLK (which sounds like a KMFDM cover band), but seriously, we need a ruling on whether dead people are exempt from "celebrity likeness" rules, and why

Re: 1983. The Song. The Year of Apocalyptic Doom.

This is my first time posting here. Hope you like the design. It's based off the apocalyptic song "1983" by Jimi Hendrix. 13 minutes of pure psychedelic funk.

Re: 1970 First Earth Day (1)

i really love the design, but dont like baby blue shirts

Re: 1986: The Legend Was Born

I wasn't born in '86, but I really want that shirt!

Re: 1959- Che and Fidel took over cuba

Again, celeb imagery? Castro is, at the moment at least, still alive, so if the "being dead" thing is what saves it, this isn't saved. Give us some concrete rules as to what gets that specific ax.

Re: 1973

The description sold me on this design. Great job! GMV

Re: 1981 Springbok Tour

I have no clue what the springbok tour was, but I love your springbok enough that I don't care

Re: 1982

Amazing design! dont like the color of the shirt tho :/

Re: 1981 Springbok Tour

Here's the story behind this shirt design:

The 1981 Springbok Tour was a rugby tour where the South African team, the Springboks, traveled to New Zealand to play a bunch of games. As South African was still experiencing apartheid at this time, it was a very controversial decision to allow the team to compete in New Zealand, and it was heavily protested.

Anyway, in my illustration the springbok is crying, shamed by its actions, as it clings to a rugby ball that features a map of New Zealand.

Re: 1985 Coke Can PWN!

In 1985, the Coca Cola company tried to reinvent itself, creatively calling their newer, sweeter product "New Coke." Consumers hated it, and in two months old school Coca Cola Classic ruled the shelves once again...

Re: 1965 - Levi's Introduces Bell-Bottom Jeans

Nice design...I love the colors.

Re: 1959- Che and Fidel took over cuba

I'd like to see this win one of the places.

Re: 1985 Coke Can PWN!

NO WAY!!!!

Re: 1965 - Levi's Introduces Bell-Bottom Jeans

Here's another view.

Re: 1970 First Earth Day (1)

Beautiful design.

Wootworthy my friend.

Thank you! I used to love wearing my cool "big bells" and little tops.

Re: 1987- Year of the Rabbit

This looks incredibly like the monkeys what got rejected last week. Same clip-art batch?

Re: 1989 Fall of the Berlin Wall
My first attempt at a woot shirt entry!

Re: 1989 Tear Down this Wall

This is one of the better designs I've seen so far. I've been mildly disappointed with the submissions so far but that could be due to my lack of a design idea. O well. Good job! GMV!

I thank you, and Doctor Bunsen Honeydew thanks you. ;-)

Re: 1985 Coke Can PWN!

You can copyright a frequency in the visible portion of the light wave spectrum?

fablefire wrote:Hearts - Typical pixellated hearts.
Bomb - Old school chinese bombs.
Bottle - Modeled after those little souvenir bottles of sand with the cork in them.
Fairy - Also used by Ne*pets, and countless other businesses.
Wooden Sword - Utilized in many, many video games, as well as in the homes of children (provided their parents aren't crazy about safety).
Gems - Standard cut gem.
1986 Shirt - Priceless.

For everything else there's MasterWoot.

We'll see anyway.

I don't know, by that logic you could put Mario on a shirt because a plumbers hat, overalls, mustache, and the letter M are not copyrighted by Nintendo. Looks like you made it through the first round of rejections though, so you may be good to go.

I've got to have this as a gift for my sister's birthday.

lolololol... behold the power of big industries and copyright laws that give them power to rule the world. sad sad. Good idea anyway, sorry about the rejection

Re: 1970 - First earth day (on cream)

Nice work.

Re: International Year of Peace

I struggled to try to come up with a design like this. This is not the direction I was going with it but that turned up a dead-end anyway. Good job.

fablefire wrote:You can copyright a frequency in the visible portion of the light wave spectrum?

maybe just on a can? That is pretty odd to me.

What's odder is that coke has copyrighted a colour, but apparently not that big iconic "C", as proved by Consumerism. Or did woot get slapped by their lawyers and that led to this?

Re: Wired with Joy

ZOMG I didn't even see the number. Thought it was just a funked up cord.

Re: 1965 - Levi's Introduces Bell-Bottom Jeans

As a guy, I wouldn't wear this, but great design.

What a nice compliment, thank you. I'd REALLY like to have one myself! :-)

Re: 1970 - First earth day (on cream)

This would look PERFECT with way less detail and some pointless filigree to either side of it.

NathanOfLight wrote:Love the shirt!

If I recall correctly, I think one of the main arguments behind the "theory" that we didn't go to the moon is that there's apparently no wind on the moon, yet the flag was blowing in the video.

The flag didn't move at all once the telescoping bar from which it was suspended had been extended. The fan in the shirt is the one point keeping me from voting for it.

Re: 1973 - Solar eclipse of the decade

Maybe that's why I liked this design. I didn't copy it though and it really wasn't my intent to use it. In fact, I didn't even notice till after it was done and ready to upload. But I do love Heroes!

Re: [url=http://shirt.woot.com/Derby/Entry.aspx?id=12883]1986:

. Having done research on 1986 since that is also when I was born, I didn't see any negative connotations in this design. Was that intentional?
