Mr. Travis -

You seem to becoming the new Glennz or Moss with a new shirt design coming out every month. Have they commissioned a select tee from you yet?

Hey party people - I had made a deal to buy a Men's large Aug 12-Club shirt - "Friendly Manitoba" - from a guy on e-bay, and he disappeared into thin air. Now that people have settled in and know whether or not they are actually going to wear the thing - thought I'd check if anybody had one they wanted to sell.

How come there never seem to be any orange t-shirts? I hate yellow and gold, but love me some orange. Does Fruit of the Loom not make orange? Is it a particulary difficult color to print onto? Inquiring minds want to know.

At what point did the "Loves" competition shift its focus into actual branding? If you look at the first three competitions, the winning designs were clever, with a thematic link to the competition - but nowhere on "Maxim Vixen" (as far as I can tell) does it say "Maxim" like the original design. This was a good decision on the Threadless Team's part, and in my mind served to delineate between hipster synergy and outright corporate shilling.

So then the IFC designs were printed - and with the exception of the clever "Are you In? Or Out?" in which the logo is a seamless part of the design - these designs would have been far more wearable without the branding.

And yet -- people are buying them. Which just confuses the hell out of me. Sure they're attractive. Sure I like IFC. But my rule is unless I get it for free - a la "swag" - or am a paid employee - I ain't wearing no damn logos.

Maybe if along with the smaller prize amounts - these shirt were regularly marked at a $10 price point to differentiate them from the standard designs...

Am I alone in this?
