i was afraid this was going to be all about the u, again

huh? i dont get what you mean... IM TIRED.

there was this huge thread over the fact that color was misspelled depending on your geographic location. To some color is just not color without the u, as in colour. but that is interesting how similar the designs are, the chicken or the egg?

Well, aren't those coloUrblind spot images usually on a round base and done with dots?

oh, ya, i wasnt complaining about the 'color' thing, just how similar they are, and i think the threadless one came out first.... i think.............

that circle with text in it has been around a long time. thats the main test to check for color blindness i believe.

ya got me, i wouldn't be much surprised. especially after seeing the brazillian threadless.

Probably why they're similar is because the coloUrtests usually are standardized like st3v3n mentioned.

i see, i see

So you're not colourblind then.

Apparently i'm not and boy is that a relief!

but is spoofing the color blind test on to a t-shirt or otherwise original? it was the first time for me seeing it on a tee.

ya, i have never seen a shirt with that type of message before until i came across this one

steve roswick had one on his site for months before the threadless one

oh, really? personally, i dont like the shirt at all.

see?

Yeah, it's an idea that's been done a million times.

well, excuuuuuuuuse me..... :P

You're excused.

ahh tomaytooooe tomato!

thank you xiv for stripping me of my innocence.

i really don't think the idea of a color-blind test shirt has been done a million times. xiv's post was just of the actual color-blind tests you take when you go to the eye doctor. You sit down and they ask you what number is in the circle. If you can't read it, you have some form of color-blindness (there are a bunch of types and severities). Have none of you actually taken a test before?

I find threadless' shirt much better than tshirthell's shirt. tshirthell's shirt is a little much, don't you think?

and the color vs. colour thing is just dumb. It's not spelled incorrectly, b/c threadless is based in Chicago, IL, USA. It's how we spell color.

amen to that, obluebabyo.
