My school newspaper just printed an article about Threadless. I used to be the only threadless junkie at my school (besides the junior who wrote the article), and now a lot of people are going to most likely check it out and start wearing these t shirts. Okay, I know it's really selfish of me not to want other people to know about it, but I don't think people should start wearing threadless 'just because it's cool' or whatever. Makes me kinda angry. My shirts used to be so unique, and I loved when people would ask, 'What the hell is Threadless?' and I got to explain to them all about it. Now it won't be so fun. Oh well, I guess the secret had to get out sometime....

Oh man, that sucks, I'm sorry for you.



I don't see how people find out about this. Teachers and the like, I mean.

I know how that is, now everyone will be wearing the same shirts and you'll all look like clones.

at my school, everyone discovered threadless over the summer. everyone thought they were gonna be the only ones, six kids wound up wearing a tee on the first day of school. i dunno i dont really care.. i mean its a pretty famous site.. ok im rambling but what im really tryin to say is



dont worry about it

it wasnt an "anti kid" thing... it was a school newspapers never appealed to me (nor most kids at our school) maybe cause the paper was so bad... i just dont think this is something to worry that much about... the shirts are quite interesting and there are always new ones

that is a good point, the only thing the kids a my high school bought the newspaper for was the coupons for bonus on tests. after those were removed they were conviently trashed.

Yeah, I'm kind of "anti-same" too. But who I'm really worried about discovering threadless is the "preps" for lack of a better word, or the people that won't "understand" the shirts but will get them anyways because everyone else is.



Most people at my school DO read the paper though, ttoille... but you're right, there's always the new shirts. Plus, it's impossible for something like Threadless NOT to grow, it's the nature of the beast. Probably just not the way I wanted it to be discovered....



Oh well, you're right. I shouldn't worry about it.

Ugh, nearly no one at my school understands even the most basic of the shirts I own. Preps are simpletons and this town is loaded with them.

I wear "ask me how i became a pirate" and no one has ever gotten it. ever.

because they don't understand deisng and its genius! which is why none of 'em own shirts like that.

why else would you wear threadless other than "just because it's cool"?

i didnt mean so much about worrying about threadless becoming "it" at your school.. .



you just seem sorta insecure that youre going to lose your originality or something if someone has the same shirt as you. your clothes don't make you unique... your personality does... so even if twenty people and yourself wear "jellyfish killed my wife" on the same day... dont worry about it



sorry if that came out a little rude

and wouldnt it be sweet if one of your designs won and twenty kids at your school, who already think threaldess is cool, bought it!!

Oh no, sorry if I gave that impression. I'm not worried about ME not being unique or whatever. I can see where you thought that. But no, Threadless will still be cool to me no matter who wears it.

Yeah, but as other people have said in the past... that's the beauty of limited t-shirt runs and the enormous amount of designs that threadless prints.

Wow, that's...just...I'm speechless. Even the little shirt "favicon" thing is practically the same.



Must try harder.
