Shirt.Woot

Here's my idea:

I may make it a little less obviously alcohol oriented and more red solo cup dependent. I like the idea of having the crest crackling and falling apart, and having the leaves on the ivy vines dead.

Oh, and i'll fix the Latin, but I'm gonna use Pig Latin for "Party On Dude"

I have a feeling this derby will be rife with "similar shirts exist" rejections.

this is the beginning of my design idea, not the finished product...but i wanted to throw it out there anyway

Here's a (groan inducing) idea I'm working on.

Shame you can't submit your Internet Athletics bit.

I hope artists take a few minutes to run a few searches before spending time crafting a design. Not only can they avoid wasting their time, but then we can avoid a derby where every other comment is about unoriginality.

Anyone have any feedback on this?

Do you intend the latin to be 'out of one, many' rather than the traditional 'out of many, one?' If so, the latin for that would be e uno plures.

I find it funny that we finally have a banned subject that is science based and not a blatant meme-related ban.

Waiting for the penguin flight school design from... uhm... someone...

Black? Asphalt? Still needs halftones and tweaks but thoughts welcome...

Quick Question... Got an idea for a shirt but don't know which term is more widely used...

SUPERSENIOR
or
__th-Year SENIOR??

Asphalt doesn't seem as crisp and clear.

But it's sho pretty :3 Okay yeah black makes more sense anyway, just needed someone to remind me of this...

Thanks! I was looking for help on that phrase. I've also found Ex uno plures in the meantime. Is this also accurate?

Funny, but "your mom goes here" isn't so good. Maybe a pun like "sew educational" or something.

I actually really liked the "Your mom goes here" part. I can see how others might not like that, but I think that would be the selling point for me.

Also, I can't believe Harry Potter isn't on the list of no-nos.

Is there a Heather Grey option? I didn't see it on the color sheet, but I figured I'd double check anyways since it's kind of perfect for college tees

Thanks... I'm starting to think the Napolean Dynamite reference is too subtle.

Hmmm... definitely didn't get that, although I only saw the movie once years ago. Disregard my comment.

ISO30 wrote:Thanks... I'm starting to think the Napolean Dynamite reference is too subtle.

I didn't get Napolean Dynamite at all. Maybe add some details from the movie or a mountain or something in the background. You could also try a play on words with "Alma Mater" maybe "Your Mom's Alma Mater" or something like that

Don't take the "low hanging fruit" of woot shirt ideas!

But yea, we all know someone is gonna do it.

Dang. Those "low hanging fruit" ideas tend to get lots of high flying votes., too.

But I am hoping we get something really creative from someone...

I'm just about done. Still need to half-tone this thing:

Super Senior is used with students. _th year is used by staff and faculty.

Nice. I'd like to see some funny or fake roman numerals in the blank spots on the banner. OU812? THX1138? I don't know. I'm not feeling funny today.

edit- maybe CDXX for 420?

You should do it if you really want, though! I won't judge. It's ok, just draw the most beautiful flying penguin ever.

Awesome... THanks! Im a teacher so... Thats where my confusion came form.

My first thought was "Bovine University" and a quick search turned up dozens of similar shirts.

You don't really expect us to swallow that tripe, do you?

Here's one of my subs. Does the joke make sense to you guys? Is this offensive? Feedback appreciated

Here's one I'm playing around with... not quite done, but...

Any thoughts?

I was pretty pleased with the crowbar infinity symbol! hehe

Yeah, that's actually better--it's ex for words beginning with vowels and e for words beginning with consonant.

Thanks! You've been really helpful. I appreciate it

Incidentally, this where I'm at with it:

Here's my design for tomorrow. Looking for comments,input and thoughts.

I doubt woot will print this. They sell kids shirts as well as adult sizes, and this will NOT sell well in the smaller sizes.

While Star Wars is allowed in this derby, the logo is patented, and woot may not be able to print it. Is there another way you can do this? (I'm sure Klingon is allowed).

Damn I was worried about that. I mean it's just a butt, but I guess "smartasses" could be offensive too. Also though, what about the booze related designs (I have one of those also)? Those are obviously not suitable for children?
