2011 was a fantastic year for Shirt.Woot. We think. We seem to remember it being pretty cool, anyway. But how can we really know?

We can't. Not without a gaudy, excessive awards presentation. So this coming Monday, Shirt.Woot presents the 2nd Annual T-List Awards! A panel of Shirt.Woot editors and respected designers will preserve the year's best designs in the sticky amber of prestige. Look for their picks on the blog Monday.

And when we announce the 2011 Shirt of the Year, we'll also unveil a T-List Awards sale event featuring the honored designs on tees, long-sleeves, hoodies, and - this is new - posters!

If you prefer your awards shows with nary an evening gown in sight, stay tuned to the Shirt.Woot blog for the the 2nd Annual T-List Awards. We'll see you on the 100% cotton carpet!

UPDATE: an earlier version of this post was mistaken - OK, wrong - about how this worked. None of the T-List posts will appear today or over the weekend. It all happens Monday. Sorry to get your "hopes" "up".

Does this mean no head to head battle royale clickfest this year?

That was fun. Was it horrible on your end?


Nothing follows.

Yep, no Battle this year. It wasn't one thing, but several that led us to leave it out this time. That's not to say that it won't ever return one day...

Also, a correction: the T-List award blog posts will ALL be posted on Monday when the sale goes up, NOT throughout the weekend as first indicated. We'll try to get the above announcement corrected.

To repeat: Everything's happening on Monday, so be ready!!! You're welcome to keep your tux or dress on till then, but, uh... don't sit near us if you do.

Aw, I'll miss that bit, though the flash voting gadget was awfully glitchy.

How about the community awards? Will those be handed out again this year?

It's never for naught if you wear it and post pics on the forums.


I picture you in a gold lamé floor-length gown, with subtle memes as the pattern.

I couldn't pull that off. However, the perfect little black dress hides my figure flaws nicely.

Posters! First thought was that designs which were printed on shirts using halftones could be printed from the original art. Some of my designs definitely look 'shinier' before being squeezed through the halfton sausage machine. Interested to hear how they will be printed.

Posters are a fantastic idea! Hope they are at a similar price point to the t-shirts.

Totally buying In The Library With the Wrench pullover hoodie in the morning. That'll make the second design I own as both shirt and hoodie! I REALLY liked Ro-Boss but it was a zip up, so sad. My wallet, however, thanks you dearly. This way it'll only be begging for mercy at my next hoodie purchase, rather than already being dead...
On a side note, my friend is coming over to spend a day or so, and guess which website we're going to stare at for like, an hour?? Yep, you guessed it. I've bought him 2 shirts from here that I'm going to give him; he's been trying to find a place to get good quality shirts that help support artists (and that won't break the bank). He just doesn't like jumping into things (especially online) that he's unsure of. But I swear, he'll be hooked the moment he tries one of them on! And then when I have him feel the inside of my hoodie (that sounds so wrong, doesn't it?) he'll see how comfy they are, and he'll just HAVE to have one!

These hoodies have a bit of point on the head. Kind of garden gnomish, which is cool, but I could never get away with wearing a white one. Too many people paranoid about racism would see a closet member of the It must be inordinately taxing to be such a boob. when they should just see a panda eating, shooting, and leaving.

Again, why is it ok for Goldilocks to be killing the bear on the Damsels shirts? That hussy went up in those bears house and stole their food and broke their furniture.

Woot, oh how I love and loathe thee at the same time! Mondays have made my wallet cringe the last two weeks and now this? I want three hoodies on top what I already have on the way. I might have to get a 2nd part time job to support my shirt. woot habit...

Can we get info on the size of the posters?

Never mind... Reading is important. Posters are 16" x 19". I think $15 may be asking a bit much for such a small poster.

O_o

I think maybe you need to think of them less as posters and more as prints.

Zombie Bait was the biggest hit for the 'kids' at Christmas. Personal favorite: 'Electrical Sockets. They're watching us.' I wish I had ordered that one.

Thanks! Best use of light and Best Holiday shirt, that's so awesome.

I freakin' love that Haunted Housework is available as a glow-in-the-dark tee now too.

yay, a Makin' Bread hoodie \o/
glad it's not a zip-up

today, at shirt.woot, i learnt:
- the "eats shoots and leaves" joke
- the names of Cluedo tokens
...and my wallet made a narrow escape when i noticed that the other cat i already own is a zip-up this time over.

The previous "woot robs bank accounts blind" sales of more-than-short-sleeve-t-shirts came with prominent end dates, but I don't see one listed for the T-List Awards. Am I missing it? I'd love to receive a previously ordered hoodie to double-check sizing before ordering another.

Oh woot, you hate me, don't you? And by "hate me," I mean, "understand that I've moved to the Arctic Hinterlands but continue to insist upon taking my money and dressing me." I understand: I just can't quit you either.

I'm excited to get the Reading Rocket Ship design as a poster for my book-loving son's space-themed room. This saves me sweating over whether he stains his current t-shirt, because now I don't have to wait to frame that when he outgrows it.

Please make Bake it So as an apron! Extra awesomeness if the apron is brown, but I'll buy nearly any color.

update: got the Acquired Taste hoodie too.

i've been able to resist the tee for weeks, but as a pull-over, it pulled the credit card right out of my wallet.

Love the posters. I just wish Eats, Shoots, and Leaves was available as a T-shirt. I regret not buying 3!
