You're judging his/her talent solely on one sub.

I looked through her facebook the other day after following another link

danisse on Jul 21 '09 at 10:11am

Haters to the left.

Maltzmania on Jul 21 '09 at 10:11am

here it is

iPear on Jul 21 '09 at 10:11am

all the single ladies!

Props to threadless for laughing all the way to the bank while these prophecies come true about 15+ year olds forgetting why they bought the shirt in the first place.

Kim456 on Jul 21 '09 at 10:12am

well at least now the inevitable has happened....they can all get their crap shirts, bugger off and let us get back to business as usual.The hype will all be over in a week! Especially when they realise every second tosser on the street is wearing the same shirt!

I am extremely sick of this thing!

Maltzmania on Jul 21 '09 at 10:12am

woops, here

agrimony on Jul 21 '09 at 10:12am

but i doubt it

They give her the alumni medal, thats just wrong i dont see how she can be classified with the likes of alexmdc, FM,, Isaboa and many many more just wrong

i understand the uproar about this, but at the same time you have to give oxen there due. They took very well know things from the internet and came up with this. Then to top it off they did a really good job at designing it. I say congrats to them!

Now I'm not sure if its right that threadless skipped everything and went to printing it, but its a company and you can't blame them for wanting money. That's what businesses do.

Resistance on Jul 21 '09 at 10:13am

kim said tosser... i love it when you talk dirty

Gar0 on Jul 21 '09 at 10:14am

I think Threadless staff should get a bonus, and a holiday in St Lucia.

Kim456 on Jul 21 '09 at 10:14am

only for you Resistance x

Resistance on Jul 21 '09 at 10:16am

*rubs nipples* mmmmm call me Desmond

Steve The Great on Jul 21 '09 at 10:16am

they should charge $35.00 for it.

roadkill3d on Jul 21 '09 at 10:17am

The bottom line is, the submission by OXEN scored the highest in threadless history. And threadless has a proven formula of printing subs with the highest demands.

I gotta tip my hat off to the designer. Congrats!

Kim456 on Jul 21 '09 at 10:17am

hehe

wotto on Jul 21 '09 at 10:17am

I actually don't mind it printing, why miss the opportunity? The artwork isn't that bad and the artist seems deserving. What bothers me a little is the changing of the rules that established Threadless to cash in on a fad.

Doesn't woot! handle fad tees?

the110 on Jul 21 '09 at 10:18am

Just to throw it out there, I say this shirt sells around 1,000 today and tomorrow and up to 3,000 in the next 2 days as blogs catch up again. Then on to around 10,000 pieces by next week.

tracerbullet on Jul 21 '09 at 10:18am

or busted/snorg tees

squatterjohn on Jul 21 '09 at 10:18am

They should've made it a Select, since that's what they basically did. Then they could charge $25 for it.

cARtOoNer on Jul 21 '09 at 10:20am

i agree with wotto. i mean im not going to buy it so i dont really care that it printed, and MAYBE itll bring more users?... but it is kind of cheeky that it "ended scoring early" idk i just cant wait till next monday when the new tees are out and people will be talking about this less

iPear on Jul 21 '09 at 10:22am

dude, threadless think about the sheer amount of kids that will be stealing their parents credit cards to buy this shirt.

oh man...

Resistance on Jul 21 '09 at 10:22am

It finishing early is actually good for the rest of the shirts currently in the running.

That's what I was thinking too.

Anyway I think this one may have been hard for the staff to gauge, how many people really wanted it and how many were just following along, pre-order solves that and it lock all these people into a purchuse in stead of them waiting 4 weeks and then forgeting they ever voted on it.

ivejustquitsmoking on Jul 21 '09 at 10:27am

should be disqualified for bestee lol

squatterjohn on Jul 21 '09 at 10:30am

Hopefully none of them will know about Bestees and won't come back when voting comes around.

tracerbullet on Jul 21 '09 at 10:32am

i hear that middle schools and high schools are already banning the wearing of this shirt

agrimony on Jul 21 '09 at 10:32am

not if threadless starts publicising it on fb and digg again

squatterjohn on Jul 21 '09 at 10:34am

They can't promote one design for Bestee ahead of the rest, that would be even more ridiculous than what they did here.

Great talent, but I really must be the only person on the planet that doesn't go ga-ga over every random LOLWUT on the internet.

Am I just getting old?

cARtOoNer on Jul 21 '09 at 10:43am

radiostaticstar on Jul 21 '09 at 10:48am

suckers. i already got mine off the ebay!

not really. jk

seriously tho, i didn't think this would actually happen!

squatterjohn on Jul 21 '09 at 10:50am

Is it better for everything else currently in the running? On the one hand, having it up brings in voters, not just buyers. But on the other hand, a lot of those voters were idiots.

lunchboxbrain on Jul 21 '09 at 10:53am

i wonder how much of an impact threadless' promotion of the design on Facebook and Twitter had on votes/scoring/etc. hmmm....

that being said, if the people want it, someone's gonna give it to 'em.

alexmdc on Jul 21 '09 at 10:53am

threadless was very smar about it, they didnt print them til they get pre-orders to see if it will actually sell

stubby43 on Jul 21 '09 at 10:53am

A quick estimate of how much money threadless will make off this tee assuming that they sell 10,000 and the tee's sell at $4 a shirt (this figure is the only thing I know for sure cause the book crowdsourcing profiles threadless and lists this price) they will earn:

$160,000

tracerbullet on Jul 21 '09 at 10:59am

belated "that's what she said" @ blog title

shakethesheets on Jul 21 '09 at 11:48am

ahaha, no fucking way

FRICKINAWESOME on Jul 21 '09 at 12:04pm

Threadless not only struck while the iron was hot, that shit is burning a whole in my computer screen right now!

eskimokiss on Jul 21 '09 at 8:05pm

The bottom line is, the submission by OXEN scored the highest in threadless history. And threadless has a proven formula of printing subs with the highest demands.

Yes but, threadless haven't always chosen the highest scoring subs to print in the past. They've chosen designs based on their aesthetic taste and how it appeals to them first and foremost, then based on score and popularity.

There have been many designs which scored extremely well (Glennz' Rock me Amadeus for eg.) and which have had many blogs demanding them to print them and yet threadless did not cave in to public demand.
