Here is my submission called Statehood. This way, you can see what order the states joined the Union. The only problem I may have is for threadlessers outside the US in which this would be irrelevant, but what the heck, I'll sub it anyways. This blog is just to show the color options. I will post when it is up for scoring. Alaska is on the sleeve and Hawaii is down further on the shirt or possibly on the back.

Here is the shirt with Alaska and Hawaii Placement. Hawaii is on the back near the center right.

Here is the shirt on Kiwi. (I wonder if Threadless prints on Kiwi) This one shows how big Alaska really is if it were proportional to the rest of the US.



Here is a picture if you guys want to understand how big Alaska really is.

this is a great idea and well executed. although, a couple of the states don't look like numbers to me and it is a bit confusing.

lemonalle on Nov 08 '06 at 2:22pm
Cool! What number is Maryland? (I should really know this, but I can't make out what you have)

I really like the navy and orange.
lsmc88
lsmc88 on Nov 08 '06 at 2:24pm
sorry, Maryland is #7 and I kinda figured that it already kinda looks like a 7 anyways, so I kept it like that.
lsmc88
lsmc88 on Nov 08 '06 at 2:24pm
Also, you guys can see it well because of the size, but Rhode Island is 13.

Love the orange!

I'm not American, so the numbers don't make much sense to me, but I think the concept itself is quite good. Some of the numbers are a bit odd and unclear but, again, I'm not sure if that's just because I'm not American.

^Agreed. Go orange!

Also, if you see a big slab, it is a 1 (like in Montana)

green is nice...

i think if i was american i would be more enthusiastic
lsmc88
lsmc88 on Nov 09 '06 at 9:11am
I understand the american vs overseas point of view, so hopefully there is not too much anti americanism on threadless

Is there a number for NY?
lsmc88
lsmc88 on Nov 09 '06 at 12:15pm
NY is 11

Nodus on Nov 09 '06 at 12:17pm
Very sweet.
lsmc88
lsmc88 on Nov 09 '06 at 4:23pm
im glad everyone likes it. the only problem seems to be the interpretation of the numbers, which I guess could be fixed later
lsmc88
lsmc88 on Nov 09 '06 at 6:43pm
Hey guys, I added the side view of the shirt on a new color too! The other shirts have alaska a little bigger, but it shows the concept. Check it out and tell me what you think.
lsmc88
lsmc88 on Nov 09 '06 at 6:47pm
Also, the other pics show Hawaii on the front, but I think it looks better on the back. Plus, a lot of people liked the sleeve design last time I did one, so I'm here to try again.

this kind of reminds me of paranormal u.s.
lsmc88
lsmc88 on Nov 09 '06 at 6:55pm
i tried not to make it so, but it may be the color scheme perhaps?

lsmc88 on Nov 09 '06 at 9:37pm

thanks for everyone who has voted so far. I had no idea that designs could go up on Saturdays.

I think it would be really annoying to me to have such a disproportional Alaska on my sleeve.
lsmc88
lsmc88 on Nov 11 '06 at 10:17am
Geez, you guys are so picky. I designed it so the the size could change, but when I resized it for the photo, it was kinda hard to get the right proportions, but if it gets printed, ill make sure it is proportional :)

i also just noticed that my sub is the first on the submissions page. so unless there are no more subs today, that means that mine will be the first one people see from now until monday, awesome!
gorkle
gorkle on Nov 11 '06 at 10:45am
the yellow :) you don't see that color combo everyday
Noodlegirl
Noodlegirl on Nov 11 '06 at 10:46am
yes, I love the green.
lsmc88
lsmc88 on Nov 11 '06 at 1:49pm
there is also a mistake on this sub. if you catch it first, I will put you on my STP list. But you only have until Monday
lsmc88
lsmc88 on Nov 11 '06 at 2:05pm
the reason that is only lasts monday is because I hope to have the submission picture changed to the corrected one.
lsmc88
lsmc88 on Nov 11 '06 at 4:12pm
no one wants to do the contest?
yion072
yion072 on Nov 11 '06 at 4:17pm
i like it, but what is florida supposed to say?
yion072
yion072 on Nov 11 '06 at 4:18pm
and new york...is that 10?
lsmc88
lsmc88 on Nov 11 '06 at 4:20pm
it is supposed to say 27, but I had messed it up. and you just won the STP contest and you prob didnt even know, haha. The two mistakes are that Florida says 17, but is supposed to say 27 and Tennessee says 19, but it is supposed to say 16. I emailed threadless to change the picture, but I didnt know that they would put the shirt up today.
