totally, that was the whole idea.

No, the whole idea was the arm was the trunk. So the WHOLE idea is still there. To each his or her own, however.

I bet none of you know personally know any elephants.

dumbo is my bitch

bad format for this shirt.



disappointed.

they should have just extended the top part of the elephants head down to the sleeve

lazy placemant, thatīs all I guess.

They could do better, but they did not.

Wow, you messed up threadless. The whole point was the long sleeve.

As soon as I saw this I was like, "YES, I'm buying" but then it became apparent that you guys didnt think this was worth a hoody. I would have shelled out money for one in a heartbeat. WHACK!

so if the one armed swimmer chick wears this, what is it then?

a tapir.

.....



lol

i've got enough trunk for my junk

a t-shirt is perfect

tapir minimus?

lol

hahaha

aww go have a sook guys, montro still rocks!

I have to agree on this one. I know this is a t-shirt site... and summer is almost here, but this design doesn't work on short sleeves.

Aw man, I like the sleeve idea too! Still a pretty rockin shirt, though, but I don't think the trunk quite works as well. :c



Also +2 points for elephants! Rock!

no sleeve idea = no sale

if nothing else, it was an ambitious attempt.



well done sir.

they can't print over seams no?

for automatic screenprint machines you can get oversized palettes and screens to do huge allover prints so you dont have to do belt printing



at the shop i work at we are doing this to our 13 color automatic, but the oversized prints are limited to 3 or 4 colors depending on the machine



it would be possible to print on a long sleeve or hoody with this method however you wouldnt be able to print on the entire sleeve, in this case they didnt print the sleeve anyways so it could be possible

I agree the joke still works without the long sleeves, but SO many more people would have bought a long-sleeved tee (incl me) that just aren't so interested in short-sleeved... and hey, it's winter coming on in the southern hemisphere, how's about some hoodies or long-sleeved shirts already? :(

personally, I think this owns.

in cursive.



if you want a trunk,

draw one on your arm.

(:

i thought it was a cool concept for a long shirt, but with short sleeves this just doesn't work.

yep - reprint it properly - bin the rest or give em away.

and hey, it's winter coming on in the southern hemisphere, how's about some hoodies or long-sleeved shirts already? :(

where is this place you speak of

montro - i know you must be happy with your award, but how do you feel about your design being rendered?

vinnlo : montro sez

well Vinny, you always hope the print looks like the template suggests and in this case I didnīt realize the technical problems it would bring up. I must say though, Threadless will go above and beyond to make a design work and they are not scared of trying new things. They have proven this countless of times, especially with some of my prints (like the optical illusion tree) and for that I am extremely thankful.



I personally would have gotten rid of the elphantīs forehead and use the shape of the shoulder to suggest its head, but figuring out a way to make it work is harder than it looks.



Another, little known fact...This design was declined only to be miraculously put up by Ross, again, to see what would happen and how would the voters react. So they knew it would be challenging, but they tried anyway.



To answer your question, I am pleased with the results but understand it would have been MUCH more impacting in long sleeves. Hope that helps!

thanx for your detailed explanation! did you know they were rendering your design or did they tell you first? just wondering...

lol! :P

I would definitely buy this as a hoodie with the trunk print on the arms, but I'm rather disappointed that the placement on the shirt isn't as good as I thought it would be

I agree that the trunk would've been incredible, but this is still a wicked design. Awesome job Montro.
