I would like this way better if it was on black.

in the product pic the girls shirt looks black and the illusion is SO much better. i see the shadows of the trees more than the legs so its really cool.

anyway, if you think so to you should comment here, maybe we can bully them into it.

i will say, the picture looks black. . . which looks like false advertising. . .

I agree. I want it in black also.



There just is not enough contrast using brown, so the tree vs. legs effect is diminished.

no but trees in shadow are. also having the treesbrown means their shadows are brown and shadows arent brown! :P i just think black makes the illusion so much better

Trees aren't black



Depends on the tree.



But, seriously, it would look much better with much more contrast and so use of black would increase the effect desired.



I love this design, but will not buy it unless it came in black.

Which is a pity.

i would more strongly consider getting this if it was printed in black. black really does improve the illusion...

hey lorna-i'm the lady in the pic of the shirt that looks black. the girly tee is actually a very dark brown (called a chocolate brown, but i would call it a dark chocolate brown :) the actual color of the tee is closer to the indoor picture of just me. i think the outdoor pic got bleached out from the sun. hope thats helpful!

I was coming in to say how wrong you are, but you aren't and now im mad that I was wrong about you being wrong
LornaGertrude
LornaGertrude on May 18 '07 at 8:01pm
why was i wrong? because it is actually really dark? or because the illusion is fine on brown?



also, HA!

I agree, the dark chocolate/black looks way better than the normal brown. Hopefully they'll reprint the guys one darker!

I know where you can get it in black.

In Changsha, Hunan, People's Republic of China.

I was walking through one of the shopping centers with a billion booths crammed into an underground space and there are tons of shops that sell boyfriend/girlfriend t-shirts. (Young Chinese couples are really into wearing matching Ts). Then I saw this beaut! I knew I'd seen it before on Threadless. So I surreptiously snapped a photo that can be seen here: , in its black glory!

I like the black better because it looks like the trees are backlit with shadows coming off the bottom. It just makes more sense on black dammit!
