Finally!.. Just the one I've been waiting for.. YES, I know everyone now has this shirt.. YES, I realize I jumped on the 'Flower in the Attic' bandwagon a little late and so missed the precious original.. YES, I realize I complained about the previous reprint with the white and silver, even though I have bought several reprints of other shirts that were NOT in the original colours... ... But who tf cares?! If you do, then I envy you, cuz it would appear you have few other more pressing cares in this world.. lucky! I love this design! It continues to reprint because it makes Threadless lots of money.. but it makes money because it's an effective design! Duh! You're welcome to disagree with me, but don't judge THIS book by its cover... judge tf cover! It's gorgeous! Love it or leave it.. but if you don't love it... just leave it, man! Don't yell... please.
i requested this reprint and sat at the edge of my seat and waited for this day... and here it is... and my oh my how disappointed i am..

when people request reprints, it is my opinion that they want the same exact shirt, with the artist's original colours (an integral part of the original design, i venture to say) as the one they were so enamoured with to begin with, but were too slow to grab up before it sold out....

i understand that this shirt was several times reprinted... and maybe variety is good, but i don't think it's called for here. if you threadless folks decide whether or not to reprint something based on reprint requests, are you not risking being totally off and underselling when you change the design in this way?

maybe i'm being inflexible, or holding onto the past... but the result here is my case in point - I REQUESTED THIS REPRINT... BUT DUE TO THE COLOUR CHANGE, I WILL NOT PURCHASE IT.

naively though, i will again await another reprint in the original colours...
