Excellent choice, Mr. Pyle! Hands down the best entry of the derby.

Come Hel or highwater, I wanted this shirt.
Great choice.

Yay, more Norse mythology! Certainly don't see enough of it. I'm a sucker for anything Norse, so definitely in for one. :3

There have been a few ties in my lifetime here at woot. You get both shirts in one package for the price of one shirt.

I sincerely love this design and am so very pleased that it was chosen to print! As soon as I have funds later in the week, I will be purchasing this shirt with full excitement.
Edit, important update information coming in over the telegraph: ... *beep beepbeepbeep beep beeeeeep* ... 'Tis been boughten, huzzah!

Anyone else a little disappointed with the printed tee?
Mine just came in and it's much more red and grey, much less pink and purple. :/

Yeah, I just opened mine and I'm disappointed with the colours. The beautiful design looks flat and off because the colours are very much on the grey and orange side of blah.
Below is a photo of the shirt. I tried to take photos in lighting that accurately represented the colours as printed, but it's night and my home's lighting is much too yellow for true accuracy. I will edit in more accurate photos in tomorrow's daylight. The trunk is a flat brick, the dark highlights are a grey-navy that fade/blend into the shirt, and the dragon is a red-orange that does not go well with its flat brick highlights. There is a distinct lack of the warm blue-violet tint that helgram's design shows as a derby entry and as a purchase preview. These colours are dead, greyed versions of the design mock-up and, honestly, do a great disservice to the gorgeous design and its original presented colours.
The print is not a disaster, I know, but it is indeed a disappointment. A huge part of the draw was not just the excellent art of the design, but the dynamic, electric colour scheme that complemented, enlivened, and elevated the art. Instead of pleased, I am... deflated.

Here is a pic of mine:
I'm really disappointed. I'm emailing service. This is nothing like the mockup.
