Shirt.Woot

This would be cool as maybe an apron.

Oh Lucky, this is so awesome! order mine now!!!!!!

As a gambling addict, I really like the playing card appearance, and as a fat guy, I really like the food theme. This shirt has it all.

i looooovvvveeeee this!!!!!!

Excellent writeup to promote the shirt! One of the very best and humorous ad copies I have seen on Woot... Keep up the good work.

But the fat man LIVES. Of course, his arteries are probably thinking otherwise.

I understand using a white shirt to get he correct color background for a playing card.

But if you are going to grill with this shirt on, it will show every splatter of grease and sauce, every smear of charcoal dust.

Which I would wear as a badge of honor.

But.

Less so the sweat stains from the heat. Which is why I usually avoid white t shirts anyway.

I like the shirt. I'll pass.

I would think that this shirt is geared toward men who like to grill. Which is great... except it is on a WHITE shirt... yes... WHITE...

So the first time it is worn it will get ketchup on it, the second time, mustard and by the time it is worn the third time BBQ sauce and then any time that guy wears it after that... the multi colored stains will make every girl in his life cringe... Why OH WHY couldn't it have been put on a black shirt, or a red shirt for that matter??

Ladies get out the bleach, we're going to need it.

After five uses and insufficient washing, just consider it BBQ Tie-dye!

oooooo... rainbowwwww...

This design should not have been on white. It should have been on charcoal.
;-)


Seriously though, what is it going to take for woot to offer some designs on multiple shirt colors? I would have bought this if it was on heather grey.

Does this remind anyone else of the King of Town from Homestar Runner?

Thanks to everyone for your support and to shirtwoot too.
Love the write up as well.

For a change of pace, here's a great Barbecue sauce alternative to the traditional tomato based varieties.

Remember, it's perfectly acceptable and fashionable to wear this shirt
to your next barbecue outing this summer. Just ask Hank.

I'm up for the queen version myself. since i kicked my husband off and learned to master it. my dad has since stepped down, he too knows I grill WAY better then them both.PLEASE-WE NEED THE QUEEN!!!!

Can I get it on a apron??

Two things ...

1) Totally need the queen version. Girls like meat too. BBQ I mean. Get your minds out of the gutter.

2) Apron would be nice ... but why not a BIB. You could have a royal flush of bibs for your guests.

Do I get a discount for being named Nigel?

Maybe white isn't the best color for a grilling shirt...?

You beat me to it.... I was also going to point out that BC time counts down, as in 1153-1100 would be his reign.

They're not stains, they're badges of honor! Bleaching them out would be like taking your truck through the carwash to get rid of all the mud... wear that mess, and wear it proudly (and then have a "clean" spare for when company comes over).

Don't need a t-shirt, but I'd pay serious dollars if this showed up on an apron.

Awesome shirt!! I'm buying it for my boyfriend and he usually wears a medium tee to "show off his muscles" but I'm worried a medium will be TOO small. Help is much appreciated!!

AA shirts run small - if a Medium usually fights tight enough to show off his muscles, he's probably gonna need a large.

This is like an incredibly awful apron that a six year old would pick out for father's day.... definitely pass on this one.

...And a loving father would be caring enough to wear it every time he grilled to show how much he cares for his kid.

Some Barbecue favorites of mine:

Does he cook with Strickland Propane?

Yes, he look very much like the KoT. Maybe a little less chubby, though...KoT has some serious obesity issues related to his binge/never purge eating disorder.

I'm so sick of how there's a meat joke on here every ten days. I don't sit around playing old video games and getting constipated from bacon and steaks, so I guess Woot isn't for me anymore.

Congrats lucky! (o;

Again, many thanks to everyone for your kind words and support for this design.
Cheers tgentry, I can't wait to receive my shirt in the mail.

A group of friends has a twice-annual gathering, once at the start of college football and once for the big bowl game day, where we grill, watch football, grill, watch football, grill football due to imminent onset of meat coma, then declare whose grilling was the best.

We now have our Fall 2011 Trophy!

Cheers mndvs737. Yes, football season!

this really is a great shirt, but it was just up for voting at threadless? i thought there was a 3 month holding rule or something.

@burnapaperzach- I contacted threadless and they very politely gave me the OK to shop my design elsewhere and I'm fortunate that it found a home here.

@tgentry- I received my shirt and you guys did a fantastic job with the print. The colors are so vibrant and crisp. I'd post a picture, but I don't have access to my digital camera at the moment.
