Hi,

Well this, got dropped, surprised me a little...

So, what am I not getting about the voters here...was that design that far out? I thought it was conservative...

Play Ball - Threadless, Best T-shirts Ever

Got a 4 from me. Most of the designs I like/make get really low scores.



It has no meaning, the print is big, and it's kind of ugly. That's exactly why I liked it so much, but it's usually exactly why most people don't like a design.

I just looked at your previosu design too. I'd have given that a $5 for what it's worth.

I warned you that I've seen shirts with people playing basketball on them before. Voters probably thought you copied it from a Micheal Jordan shirt or something.

Ha, that first one was a throw away, it was never going to do well..I actually thought the Play Ball characters were relatively unchallenging..guess I was wrong..

hmm, I gave it a 4, and it looks like other people gave it good scores as well. Weird. I have a sub in the running and I wish more people would comment so I know what I'm doing right/wrong and so I can predict where it might end up.

hehe thats cool man i like it! it seems to be one of the few shirts i've seen lately that works really well on a shirt. composition and colors are well done. and it's weeird. didnt get a chance to vote, but honestly i'm with you on this one... i have no idea why it was dropped.

I 5'ed it. I can't believe it got dropped. I thought this design was reall unique and well done.

it's a mystery to me, the voters are most mysterious..

better than the glut but not to my taste

well.. anything that strays away from the mainstream type designs and drawings, it would be relatively harder to get accepted by the general public.

People want to understand designs, when sometimes there is nothing to understand.

i liked it, too bad most people are devoid of taste

or rather the taste of your own.

I dunno. Not a fan, but I don't hate it.



the design is good but I wouldn't wear

have a look at cbuchholz stuff.... he seems to be the new threadless darling.... I think he's talented but I personally wouldnt wear any of his prints. Thats the kinda stuff that will always score well here. It's conceptually & aesthetically easy for the masses to digest.

I didn't see this when it was scoring, but I would've given it a 4 or 5 easily. It's ugly-cute...or is it cute-ugly?



I like your style AND cbucholz's stuff.

As akuheibaka said, taste is a premium around here. I've always been a fan of your work mon(t)mont, you've got some great stuff. Like I said before, I just don't think that the general voting audience here can think coherently for long enough periods of time to appreciate your subs.



As I've never been printed I'm no expert, but my perception is that you should try to make more superficial work. Though, thank god, the Threadless staff save us now and again with some solid prints. You could hold out for that too.

the voters are fuckwits, i dunno how many times this has to happen for that to become apparent to everyone.

I would have 5'd it, given the chance. This is pretty much why I cant be bothered subbing anything.

Maybe characters where a bit unexpressive....still I think it should have gotten a higher score, i think the style and colors are really nice.
