Shirt.Woot

Dolphriend is code for dolphin done wrong.

Someone want to explain why the dolphin's back comes to a point? Poor design.

I agree. The face + lack of a dorsal fin = beluga.

So, nobody has ever heard of river dolphins? They have much smaller dorsal fin than their marine relatives.

looks like a beluga to me :x

Did you know that dolphins are just hoopy sharks?

Boo to the forum for killing my Glee quote. Anyway, first thing that came to mind when I saw this shirt. If it looked like a dolphin, I might actually buy it.

Ha ha

Looks like a perfect T shirt for a gift shop at myrtle beach.

I guess this 'dolphin' isn't going to be one of those saying "so long and thanks for all the fish."
This 'dolphin' seems to like just where it is now.

And I actually thought this was a seal for a moment. But of course, seals can't be that artistic. And it didn't have whiskers. Like this one doesn't have a dorsal fin.

The Amazon River Dolphin does have a small dorsal fin like the one seen on the shirt.



So you should all stop complaining about the dorsal fin.

This cracks me up. I'm in Kansas and I am ordering the shirt for my sisters girlfriend. ;)

would like the shirt if it wasn't for modern day rainbow association

That's no dolphin... it's some sort of manbearfish.

This is just flipping ugly.

When I saw the title I thought this would be the long-awaited Dolph Lundgren shirt I've always dreamed of. My disappointment is tangible.

Ooh! I finally get it! Wow, that took me a while. I kept wondering what a Dolphriend was, then I finally said the word outloud... "Dol-friend". I get it. Clever.

Somewhere, under the rainbow....

This is in the top 10 lamest woot shirts ever.

My shirt ...IS A DOLPHRIEND!

Can someone explain the porpoise of this shirt?


(sorry, I'm shooting for the worst joke of the day award)

this shirt reminds me that I have unfinished video to edit.

Same here...

I think this animal is the offspring of this so-called "river" dolphin and Mr. Limpet.

All it took was a few herring martinis...

Last one I got was incredibly thin, and so long it seemed like it was almost meant to be a nightgown. I immediately relegated it to be an 'around the house only' shirt.

Yes.I'd pay 5 bucks more for better material.

Yes! It has been scientifically proven that dolphins fart rainbows.

Who the hell draws a dolphin without a dorsal fin? Is there some sick dolphin mutilation inside joke I don't get here, or does someone need some animal anatomy classes here before they try to sell a shirt?

That's a Rastafarian rainbow and something more important than a dorsal fin is absent. That dolphin is missing it's dreadlocks.

Is she hot? Either way I am going to imagine she is Kansas hot and doesn't like to be constrained by undergarments.

Love this! We almost never see any dolphins on Woot. Same goes for giraffes (hint hint).

ASDFJKL;! Yay Myrtle Beach, SC! :D
Although, I prefer Edisto. Much less crowded. More chance of actually SEEING a dolphin in the ocean. And lots of sharks teeth to find :]

So, I love dolphins...however, this is not the kind of dolphin I think of when I hear the word dolphin. Then when river dolphins were mentioned, I looked them up and found that most of them have really long snouts. Then I found what is sometimes called the Irrawaddy River dolphin, which is not a river dolphin at all; it is an oceanic dolphin that lives near river mouths.

Anywho, this dolphin has a very short snout and a very small dorsal fin, and sort of looks like what is on this shirt design.

However, I'm not a fan of this shirt. Sorry!

If one has to go into obscure river dolphin explanations about a shirt, it's probably a pretty poor design.... jus sayin....

More like a beluga whale, if you ask me. Note the melon shape, the mouth shape, and especially the bump on its back where the dorsal fin should be.



I practically grew up at Sea World, in case you're wondering.

yeah, you just hit the nail right on the head

This will go over great in my homosexual manatee club!!!

Is there a joke I'm not getting here or something? Nobody just 'forgets' to put a dorsal fin on a dolphin. What's the punch line?

tomcall wrote:Doesn't really look like a dolphriend. Looks more like a manaquaintance.

I think it looks more like a baby beluga myslef...

Where is the dorsal fin? As much as I like dolphins and rainbow tee shirts... I think I'll get beat up wearing this shirt. I hope the artist does well though.

jacroe wrote:This is Woot saying, Yeah we really don't have anything good to put up there today. This'll do.

Enough of the kiddie shirts already.

The first thing I thought was, where is it's dorsal fin? I guess I don't really "get" the shirt.

Not digging today's woot.
