I created another T-Shirt!

My business partner (Dan) came up with this T-Shirt idea and I threw it together. After a lot of grumbling from other people about whether or not it made any sense we went for it.

I Raindrop Oregon T-Shirt

Now the shirt doesn't get made if the members of the website threadless.com don't like it. And if it doesn't get made Dan and I can't pocket a quick two grand.

So, if you care about me at all (seriously, I mean that. If you have even an ounce of care inside you towards me. If you even like me just an eency weency bit. Or if you don't like me but hate me (and thus have some sort of opinion, ie you care)) you will go right this minute and signup for a threadless.com account and vote for our T-Shirt. Thanks, friends!

Here are the designs we decided against:

    Apparently the Shirt is still pending approval from Threadless. (Where they will probably veto it for copyright reasons. Jerks). So you can't vote for it yet. But if it gets approved we'll need those votes!

    I'll keep you posted!

    I agree with Greg. That design totally says "I [blue balls] Oregon" to me.

    And I figure that if Disney can market "I [skull and crossbones] Pirates" shirts, then threadless can get away with this one.

    I like it! My only concern for your design is that the threadless color palette seems to favor more light blue/teal than true blue (like the blues in the Tango color palette: http://tango.freedesktop.org/Tango_Icon_Theme_Guidelines ). You know kids these days. Sigh. ;)

    I tried really hard to vote, I SWEAR! But by the time I got there today it said that voting closed early? So I can't vote, which is totally lame.

    Yeah, apparently Threadless is a bunch of jerk faces. It had an average score of 1.49 out of 5! Boo!

    Benj, I think you should find a decent t-shirt printer and sell them anyway. And when you find that decent t-shirt printer, let me know, because I want to sell some Brown Sharpie merchandise!
