How unThreadless can you get?

about Mummy Cool

I joined Threadless because I like intelligent, well-designed shirts that make you think and are a tad humurous. This shirt is a disgrace to the Threadless name and I am shocked that it got printed above other very good designs.

good thing not everyone feels that way.

hadaloo on Oct 11 '06 at 6:30pm

A lot of people do, though.

skyash1588 on Oct 11 '06 at 6:35pm

well, isnt that the great thing about threadless then, something here for everyone.

amishpowerandlight on Oct 11 '06 at 6:52pm

meh. it's ok. I'd probably buy it during a sale...or if I liked mummies or Halloween better.

El_Dictador_Cubano on Oct 11 '06 at 7:12pm

i got two words for this shirt: LAA- AAAMME

imurray on Oct 11 '06 at 7:14pm

Maybe some threadless high-ups have some pull with the shirts they like, so even if it's poorly scored, they can give it the go ahead.

Conspiracy?

iPear on Oct 11 '06 at 7:16pm

I like it.

El_Dictador_Cubano on Oct 11 '06 at 7:16pm

imurray, of course the high ups have pull, they choose the shirts.

imurray on Oct 11 '06 at 7:17pm

And here I thought it was all based upon the score and the amount of "I'd Buy It"'s.

Silly me.

NatySpaghetti on Oct 11 '06 at 7:20pm

i dint like it, but i dont diss it either, you should let other people like and choose freely what they want..

j.digory on Oct 11 '06 at 7:24pm

They _can_ like and choose it freely. Stating a negative opinion about a shirt doesn't mean someone else cannot like it or buy it. If I liked it, I wouldn't give a flying **** what anyone else thought.

If I liked it.

shirtflirt on Oct 11 '06 at 7:31pm

this shirt was obviously a joke or a teh result of losing a bet.

it's neither a decent design, nor funny nor wearable.

threadless makes bad decisions too from time to time

songbirdsweet on Oct 11 '06 at 8:38pm

Wonko_The_Sane, aren't you just a ray of sunshine? I really am glad that you blessed the people of Threadless with your opinion. Maybe you can keep it to yourself next time.

tesco on Oct 11 '06 at 8:42pm

I dont understand why people feel so strongly about this shirt... there are much worse ones to bitch about. But bitching about a printed shirt is prety much a waste of internet.

shirtflirt on Oct 11 '06 at 8:46pm

there is no way to waste a useless resource like the intertube.

and opinions stink, that's why we all flash them.

kaloyster on Oct 11 '06 at 8:47pm

I knew the day would come this guide would be useful for discussions such as this.

And oh, you sir (Wonko_The_Sane), are an idiot.

Peace out!

shirtflirt on Oct 11 '06 at 8:50pm

kayloster, i understand you took a long time to write up that declaration and you make great points.

and, rules were meant to broken.

guidelines, to be ignored....

i haven't really seen an all out personal attack on a designer for their shirt getting printed, rather, just a collection of bemused and befuddled wanna be consumers.

ladykat on Oct 11 '06 at 8:51pm

i rather like this shirt.

not sure i'd wear it, but i enjoy it all the same.

shirtflirt on Oct 11 '06 at 8:53pm

that's a first, ladykat.

now i'm looking for someone who would actually wear it.

Kiltedwolf on Oct 11 '06 at 9:00pm

Two words:

Halloween seasonal...

shirtflirt on Oct 11 '06 at 9:01pm

thats' why it should be sold at spencer gifts.

Zero subs scored? Credibility goes flying out the window...

ian_ on Oct 11 '06 at 9:06pm

Imagine being the person who did this shirt, no one's saying anything good about it.

tesco on Oct 11 '06 at 9:09pm

I like the badges, in fact it's not bad at all. But I wont buy it because it's not my thing. I still bet it sells out before smooth criminal - what a glorious success that was

kaloyster on Oct 11 '06 at 9:15pm

For the record, I'm not a tough crowd to please at all.

shirtflirt on Oct 11 '06 at 9:16pm

he still got the money for the sub so what's the deal. it got printed. he's a winner.

the badges, tesco are you kidding me? ok. i know you are. i agree, you're a jokester.

shirtflirt on Oct 11 '06 at 9:17pm

smooth criminal can be worn anytime whilst this shirt looks RIDICULOUS after october 31 and before oct 1.

ok i'm done with this shirt now.

sonmi on Oct 11 '06 at 9:19pm

scoring a shirt low is different than ranting about it!

shirtflirt on Oct 11 '06 at 9:22pm

scoring a shirt low

having that shirt score low

and it still getting printed reduces the importance of scoring.

Skipper6745 on Oct 11 '06 at 9:23pm

STOP WHINING

sonmi on Oct 11 '06 at 9:28pm

i agree, scoring can be irrelevant (i don't know what the mummy one scored). many of my favorite designs score low, and i'm glad they supercede a fate otherwise given by it. i don't know. i wouldn't buy this shirt, but i think it's creative enough, and i hadn't seen it done before (the whole bandages thing). and yeah, i agree that threadless probably printed it in part because of halloween, like they do every year. i just don't understand why get so negative and worked up over a design you don't like! that just means it's not for you.

okay, that's all.

ladykat on Oct 11 '06 at 9:31pm

yay for sonmi!

shirtflirt on Oct 11 '06 at 9:31pm

skipper come over here and drink whats sitting in the toe of my shoe.

shirtflirt on Oct 11 '06 at 9:34pm

sonmi, i agree.

i tend to think a community can be honest with eachother in order to grow. that, unfortunately saying when you like and dislike a shirt. as i am to shirts i don't like, you can be to blogs you don't like; either walk away and leave tehm or comment.

SlicedUpEyeballs on Oct 11 '06 at 9:42pm

eh i agree... this shirt is like, hot topic goes walmart... I think it would have been better without the fake emo pins. But whatever, I still

SlicedUpEyeballs on Oct 11 '06 at 9:42pm

whoops... i still heart threadless.

isneked on Oct 11 '06 at 9:54pm

its a halloween shirt some people will buy it gimme a break

thelottery on Oct 12 '06 at 2:01pm

If you don't like it, don't buy it. If you like it, buy it. Yay!

CheesecakeBree on Oct 12 '06 at 10:08pm

FYI... Threadless cannot please every single person with every single shirt. There's no point in taking it so personally or thinking that Threadless has committed some kind of atrocity. Some people like this tee, some people don't.... that's how it goes for every design.

Queenlurline on Oct 12 '06 at 11:33pm

clever, but i'm not feeling it.

mahalov on Oct 12 '06 at 11:38pm

you dont own the company.

sure its a community based company, but that doesnt mean everyone gets there way.

just because you want witty tshirts that will make everyone stop in there tracks to stare at you for 10 minutes figuring out your shirt, doesnt mean threadless will bow down your request

derangeddaoist on Oct 12 '06 at 11:50pm

I'm wondering how it even got a 2.18, but that's just me.

If threadless prints the shirt and turns a profit, I'm happy.

iPear on Oct 12 '06 at 11:54pm

I like it.

Onprague on Oct 13 '06 at 8:39pm

i think its cute, id definately wear it :o)

AWorldApart on Oct 13 '06 at 8:44pm

What the fuck are you talking about? It's a good design. I like it. So shut the fucking hell up Waldo.

:g on Oct 13 '06 at 9:53pm

haha - you dis the shirt but it's the first time in months I've actually linked up to the threadless site from the e-newsletters. Everything has been so samey over the last year or so that this made me chuckle.

jublin on Oct 13 '06 at 9:59pm

i probably wont buy it, but i really dig these kind of designs and im glad threadless is printing them.

actually i think i would buy it if it was on american apparel. the white fruit of the loom shirts dont fit me so well.

AWorldApart on Oct 13 '06 at 10:01pm

I bought it. News-flash. We are all unique.

:g on Oct 13 '06 at 10:04pm

so much tat about I might just get my pixel fingers back in action.
