This coming from a person who likely would have a hard time drawing a conclusion, let alone a rather good design like this. If you don't like the design fine, but no need to insult the artist.

Would be an instabuy for me, but I really am done with the light grey t-shirts. They don't look great, and they don't age well at all.

Too lazy to keep updating my sig.

I couldn't pass it up. Two recent Holy Grail shirts at shirt.woot and I got suckered in for both. :P

Oh, and in case anyone is wondering.. the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow

I love the look of this shirt. I am just not into Monty Python. Hmm cool looks though did get me to buy that black knight one awhile back. I love the coat of arms look.

Another shirt I'd have snapped up with lightening like quickness, had it been in the old women's sizing.

A) I don't believe an Anvil has ever sold out.
2) I don't think Woot has a sellout number anymore.



Ah, I was wondering why I haven't seen one sell out in a long time...

When the Monday reboot happened the Artists are reporting that the "upper limit" was listed as 20,000 rather than 6,000. Of course they also listed one shirt as selling 1.2 Million copies and yesterdays shirt lost 117 sales at Midnight, so the numbers are bit borked at the moment.

But yeah, the issue with Anvil Tees hasn't been enough to kill the volume, but it seems to have reduced the odds of a Blow-Out. Go read through the Reckoning posts for the last month to get more info.

Ahhhhh... yes. The knights Who Formerly Said Ni. I've encountered you before oh knights... in my closet. Although I do like the colors more on the woot version... that mustard yellow color just isn't right. I'd say they aren't tooooo similar, though they are basically the same idea.

I shared this part of the movie with my 9 and 7 year old children a few months back. I showed them the shirt for today, and we are in for 3! Especially when my daughter, in perfect Monty Python form said, "Oh, c'mon, please?!"

This shirt is a perfect companion to the Electric Herring shirt! You can wear them on back to back days!

drawing in colored pencils is a style, saying it's "drawn by a 11 year old in art class" is insulting unless the artist really is 11. As an artist myself, I know I'd be insulted if someone made a comment like that about something that I worked on.

True, but saying I diagree with you isn't saying you write like a kindergarden Drop-out. Criquing the work is fine, calling names makes you a doo-doo head.

This shirt is actually referencing the expurgated version of the script, in which it was the gannet, not the swallow, that carried the coconuts.

I'm sorry, I just can't hold it in. I do like some of Anna-Maria's stuff (check out her site), but this mashup of every obvious audible and visual element of the movie's scene just isn't 'clever' as so many Woot shirts often are.

All the words, the knight with the herring, the tree being cut, the shrubbery, is that a path? Together they're all too much. IMO the best presentations are subtle.

Perhaps, but I fear my pronouncement of "There will never been an Anvil sell out" has been rebuffed with a glove to face. 42. I could be in trouble.

Pretty sure whenever you say something like that online about anything, everyone conspires to prove you wrong.

I love the design but went against my better judgement and ordered a non-USA manufactured woot shirt hoping that the odd shape issues with the shirt had been rectified. The shirt actually flares out at the bottom. Bad decision. This is the last shirt I'll buy unless it's made in the USA. I am willing to pay more for blanks made in the USA.

If you visit this thread, there are links to prints by woot artists at other sites, including site like GoodJoe that are printing on AA.

I really hate the cut of the new women's blanks, but I bought this one hoping that maybe it would be okay. Instead, it fits just like a regular men's tshirt, and it looks awful on me. I am disappointed, and won't be buying any more Woot shirts unless they fix this issue.
