I love this design, but I think the colour choice for this shirt is horrible. Any of the colours used in the original submission would have worked a lot better in my opinion.

I know that this shirt will never be reprinted in a decent colour, but while I'm here I'll also add that the MP(3) hoody looked much better on dark grey, and I want it badly!

The sleeves on Shimala's shirt look way too flappy for me.

It would probably look good on a different shade of yellow, it's just this lemon colour which I find particularly offensive.

well, it'd have to sell out before it could be reprinted! ;)

i'm more of a gold person too when it comes to yellows. but yeah, it'd look better on green, white or asphalt IMO

d3d: You have a print this week. Doesn't that come with a bazillion dollars in cash and gift vouchers?

yes, what's your point?

my select is trying its damnedest to finish itself. i tend to leave designs for months on end sometimes before finishing them, it's just that no one notices with the regular subs:)

d3d: Sorry, I didn't mean to be rude. I was just thinking that you could have bought the shirts with the gift vouchers, that's all. Apologies.

I concur. I really do want this design but I'd never wear these colors. Something dark would be more appropriate I think.

the colours are kinda starting to grow on me, actually...i was a bit surprised at first, since it's kinda off season for pale yellow at the moment (it's more suited to summer months, when most people have a tan, IMO...i know i look kinda zombie-esque in it with my pale norwegigan skin this time of year. It looks awesome on people with a darker complexion though)

but hey, if it sells out quickly, maybe there's room for a reprint on a different colour;)

if ppl are wearing this in the movie theater (to see transformers, of course), their tan isn't going to matter but the will still get mad props in the line waiting to get in.

I notice when I try my new shirts on, they look like that too. However, I always wash them before I wear them for reals, and by that time the fabric is supple enough to hang properly.

Has anyone else had complaints after they wash/wear them?

The colour is clearly too girly, as shown by the sales so far. This shirt needs to be reprinted on a more manly colour so that those of us who like Transformers and farming (quite a common combination amongst guys) can wear it without feeling like a girl.
