FOOLS! Nine over-looked and under-scored tees! Plus $5 specials!

On this glorious April the First, we are unveiling nine amazing over-looked and under-scored tees! For one reason or another, these submissions were passed over, both in scoring and in choosing! On a day meant for pranks, we bring you no joke! How could we all have been so foolish? And that's not the half of it!

We all make blunders, right? Well check out this whopper! Due to some wires crossing, we've accidentally way overstocked 21 of our classic designs! Instead of rolling around and sobbing into our over-abundance of cottony, tee-shirty goodness, we've decided to do the next best thing. $5 SALE! All guys and girly sizes of the 21 designs are an incredible $5!

Foolish? No way! Awesome? Yes. Oh yes.

No Michael Jrodan Shirt though. That one should have been printed

boysbeambitious on Apr 01 '08 at 9:59am

Great choices!

straw8erry333 on Apr 01 '08 at 10:00am

woah!

sonmi on Apr 01 '08 at 10:01am

coool

andyg on Apr 01 '08 at 10:06am

You guys are amazing!

bortwein on Apr 01 '08 at 10:09am

you should do this more often...

Mikko Terva on Apr 01 '08 at 10:11am

I just ordered six of the nine new ones. greatest batch ever printed!

Rambunkcious on Apr 01 '08 at 10:11am

flabbergasted!

alvarejo on Apr 01 '08 at 10:12am

THAAAAAANKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

nata2 on Apr 01 '08 at 10:14am

me too

V1ctorya on Apr 01 '08 at 10:15am

tried to order but didn't go through :(

SoulfumeInc on Apr 01 '08 at 10:16am

EXM~!

lunchboxbrain on Apr 01 '08 at 10:16am

YEEEHAAA!

Mattoid on Apr 01 '08 at 10:19am

Mmmm fivedollary goodness. If a blank AA t-shirt costs £10 here, and my 2 five dollar t-shirts and postage cost $17, that makes each shirt $8.50, or £4.30, which makes the cost of paying the designer, printing and international postage minus £5.70. MINUS FIVE POUNDS SEVENTY! Bargain.

Mattoid on Apr 01 '08 at 10:20am

Well that's how I justify buying t-shirts I don't need when I'm living off my overdraft, anyway...

ir0cko on Apr 01 '08 at 10:24am

hmm...?

(matthijs) on Apr 01 '08 at 10:26am

great idea! It's been a long time since I've seen this many great prints at once. Underscored shirts rock.

littlem on Apr 01 '08 at 10:26am

is this FO REALZZZZZ????

olie! on Apr 01 '08 at 10:28am

This is seriously the coolest thing I've ever seen Threadless do

wotto on Apr 01 '08 at 10:30am

U crazy cookies

Framble on Apr 01 '08 at 10:32am

WAHHHHHHHHHH!

I lovest thou!

danisse on Apr 01 '08 at 10:32am

Stop being so awesome.

Robin.NJ on Apr 01 '08 at 10:33am

I love how the Over-looked & Underscored designs mix it up from the tees that are typically printed. Thanks for mixing it up !

BaronVonMonkey on Apr 01 '08 at 10:34am

WOOOOOO
Today's bunch are probably the best ever.
Also, where can I see all the $5 tees?

ir0cko on Apr 01 '08 at 10:41am

vonmonkey- the $5 tees are on the front page

Torakamikaze on Apr 01 '08 at 10:43am

the whole month of april should have overlooked and underscored designs printed. after all, it is the cruelest month

ladykat on Apr 01 '08 at 10:44am

Holy smokes, that's like the awesomest thing ever!

littlem on Apr 01 '08 at 10:44am

it's FO REALZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!

BaronVonMonkey on Apr 01 '08 at 10:44am

Thanks, though all the guys sizes seem to be sold out :(

JOHN2 on Apr 01 '08 at 10:45am

This is probably the first time I've ever wanted to buy every single shirt on the front page. I am completely floored by the level of awesome that has been reached.

Bravo threadless, bravo.

littlem on Apr 01 '08 at 10:45am

thank you thank you thank you.

:D

zipperking on Apr 01 '08 at 10:47am

a;lkjnaovu *hits head on keyboard from fainting

you guys are the best.

valorandvellum on Apr 01 '08 at 10:48am

Oh man... too many good tees!!

squeegebeckenheim on Apr 01 '08 at 10:51am

Hooray! I just snagged kennnnnnnnnnnnn's and MartinK's!

BaronVonMonkey on Apr 01 '08 at 10:52am

Sadly I don't have enough to buy any of them- I've got bits of GC's left, but none of them enough to cover a full priced tee plus postage! And all the $5 ones are gone. And I have no money! April is the cruellest month!

funkie fresh on Apr 01 '08 at 10:53am

THOSE NEW TEES ARE SO GOOD.

yes yes yes!

i'm def buying at least three of those.

staffell on Apr 01 '08 at 10:56am

does this mean a new section for threadless? "overlooked and underscored designs" once a month! ?

please?

xiv on Apr 01 '08 at 11:17am

so is there a time limit?

silent1643 on Apr 01 '08 at 11:21am

great, they were voted low for a reason - so many good designs get overlooked why not go back and print them instead of these?

sonmi on Apr 01 '08 at 11:23am

you're missing the point, silent

SoulfumeInc on Apr 01 '08 at 11:24am

ir0cko on Apr 01 '08 at 11:24am

i'm so glad that these were printed!

i just bought 5 of the tees printed today. this gives me hope for more awesome low scoring designs to be maaaaaade!

BaronVonMonkey on Apr 01 '08 at 11:25am

they were voted low for a reason
Because people are rubbish

Tonteau on Apr 01 '08 at 11:34am

silent1643 on Apr 01 '08 at 11:21am great, they were voted low for a reason - so many good designs get overlooked why not go back and print them instead of these?

-----------------

They were voted low because they were beyond the unadventurous, limited imaginations of the majority of the voting populous. The other good designs you speak of have not remained unprinted because of these shirts, this was a bonus day, you get the regular stuff each monday so quit your whining.

BaronVonMonkey on Apr 01 '08 at 11:35am

One question though:
WHY NO PIMPANT?!?!

lemonalle on Apr 01 '08 at 11:44am

i wuv you guys

Kookaberry on Apr 01 '08 at 11:45am

They should have a bonus day where they just print jean warhol, atomic child and isaboa.

Jackanapes mk.II on Apr 01 '08 at 11:45am

I missed Funkalicious AGAIN!! AGAIN!!

shakethesheets on Apr 01 '08 at 11:46am

you're the best around!

dragonkeeperkid on Apr 01 '08 at 11:48am

I's so happy!

Maltzmania on Apr 01 '08 at 1:20pm

I was hoping for some cake! But this is much tastier.

Sgt.Dobad on Apr 01 '08 at 1:25pm

oh threadless you have just shot an arrow through my wallet and my heart

Lady_Asparagus on Apr 01 '08 at 1:51pm

Underscored t-shirts? Awesome.

Now I feel like I wasted 10 bucks buying Spoilt and Stone Jungle at the sale though.

*is sad*

OlliRudi on Apr 01 '08 at 1:52pm

whoa, too much awesomeness!!

mcclubin on Apr 01 '08 at 2:03pm

ok. all guys sizes sold out. i wear men's large?

which girl size do i fit into? would it look really awkward?

Maltzmania on Apr 01 '08 at 2:04pm

it would only look awkward if you wear matching bottoms

mcclubin on Apr 01 '08 at 2:05pm

dont women's shirts have boob cushions? around the, well, boobs area?

Maltzmania on Apr 01 '08 at 2:10pm

boob cushions? As opposed to boob scratchers?

I think the sleeves are a lot higher and the chest area has more room......err "boob cushion"

mcclubin on Apr 01 '08 at 2:12pm

so should i buy some or not?

Maltzmania on Apr 01 '08 at 2:15pm

it's a risk

but if it's a $5 shirt...it's a nice calculated risk

joshpowell on Apr 01 '08 at 2:34pm

Girls XL = Guys S/M. If you're a large, run away! :P

noponies on Apr 01 '08 at 2:37pm

this is great!

SteveOramA on Apr 01 '08 at 2:44pm

sweetness!

cristinaish on Apr 01 '08 at 4:18pm

so how long are the $5 shirts going to be $5? until they sell out?

maija on Apr 01 '08 at 4:22pm

These are all fantastic. They look like Selects. I just picked up "Yawn".

I noticed an odd thing though. Out of curiosity I checked to see if the number printed for these designs was less than usual by typing a randomly large number into my shopping cart, say, 4000 and instead of throwing an error it says "SPECIAL ORDER! (ships in 4-6 weeks)" Only the April Fools' designs do this.

Is this a sign of some print-on-demand scheme to come?

skeletondance on Apr 01 '08 at 4:25pm

More $5 tees :D

pickledbib on Apr 01 '08 at 4:50pm

finally some recognition to those that deserve it... congrats!

starr226 on Apr 01 '08 at 4:54pm

how did gazin not get printed in this lot?
don't you kids love him?

pollypry on Apr 01 '08 at 4:56pm

can you start printing more shirts like these? you can make me broke, i promise. PLEEEEAASSSEEE.

cristinaish on Apr 01 '08 at 5:01pm

maija some other recently printed tees have done this, like king of clubs and freeloader from this week. or at least they did when i first added my size into my cart to check the stock. also some tees reprinted during the sale did this as well, like optical illusion kid and i think scr-emo. i think you may be right about a print-on-demand thing. or maybe they haven't gotten all of their orders back from the print shop yet.

tiniknox on Apr 01 '08 at 5:43pm

Okay, where do I go to find the $5.00 tees?

funkie fresh on Apr 01 '08 at 5:45pm

the 5buck tees are all listed on the main page.

YEAS!

tiniknox on Apr 01 '08 at 5:47pm

Thanks :)

MCS4096 on Apr 01 '08 at 5:53pm

Best crop of new tees since I've been into Threadless! Seriously the first time I've wished I could buy all the new shirts.. I'll have to settle for four :P

Robin.NJ on Apr 01 '08 at 5:54pm

All of the new Shirts on "Threadless Tees" pop up "Special Order' when you try to put in a huge quanity, thats not just the April Fool ones. I guess its a new feature so you dont have to wait for a reprint !?!

icebar on Apr 01 '08 at 6:00pm

i'm also wondering if those shirts will still be $5 after today.

AlfMaster on Apr 01 '08 at 7:16pm

I second that. For how long will the shirts be $5?

gordond on Apr 01 '08 at 7:24pm

gibbles. how wonderful! I scored 3 shirts for $17! :)

yion072 on Apr 01 '08 at 7:26pm

Wow, I had the worst day ever and this makes it a little better. Thanks Threadless :)

lizzykai on Apr 01 '08 at 7:50pm

Does the $5 sale only last for today?

C86 on Apr 01 '08 at 7:55pm

Ignoring the $5 tees for a mo - the new designs (bar a couple) are the best I've seen on here in a single launch. Good choices

icebar on Apr 01 '08 at 8:04pm

yeah definitely some good choices, including one i've always wanted to be printed, but thought it would never happen.

jrouse1 on Apr 01 '08 at 9:10pm

THANKS THREADLESS!! That's an amazing deal! I thought that I wouldn't buy any more tees for a while after the sale, but you lured me back with this sale!

JuliaBk on Apr 01 '08 at 9:25pm

that's why - just why - i love Threadless.
you deserve what you get. congratulations!

virgostar on Apr 01 '08 at 11:10pm

nooooo!!! i order the calling home tee already for $9. wonder if there's any other tees i need? =P

jhumka on Apr 02 '08 at 12:42am

I signed up when I saw the $5 special. :P How long does this last because I'd like to order more and I live in Canada so I don't want to pay more in shipping by ordering later.
