Are these birds hot enough?

Working title: Know Your Birds

Goood tee or meeeeh? Sugggestions?

And, if you have additional bird ideas, they're welcome. If a bird needs nixing, just let me know too.
( I'm teflon coated, I can handle criticism. )

Early bird ;P

Some silly pun with burden? Blackbird's Burden 0.o

I guess dirty bird might be another one... I'm not sure if it's common slang though.

gumbolimbo on Oct 10 '11 at 6:50am

I don't have a dirty bird?

Larry Bird

gumbolimbo on Oct 10 '11 at 7:04am

smt44 on Oct 10 '11 at 7:07am

Watch yo mouth, badmouthing Larry Bird ;) jk

lovebird?

gumbolimbo on Oct 10 '11 at 7:19am

But, the question remains:

Is the concept good enough to begin with?

Tonteau on Oct 10 '11 at 7:23am

And the answer is:

Yes.

smt44 on Oct 10 '11 at 7:24am

I think it's a cool idea. I also like your style so I think you would do a great job with it.

SuperRyan on Oct 10 '11 at 7:26am

Yes

gumbolimbo on Oct 10 '11 at 8:20am

cheers guys

Haragos on Oct 10 '11 at 8:24am

imo.. Remove the ones like Birdzilla and etc. Only use ones that are common and people would know such as...

Jailbird
Angrybird
Larry Bird
Mocking Bird

And so on.. I think its funnier if they follow that line.

Haragos on Oct 10 '11 at 8:30am

Jail Bird
Angry Bird
Larry Bird
Mocking Bird
Early Bird
Dirty Bird
Big Bird
Bird is the Word
Bird(o) ((Mario Character))
Love Bird
Song Bird
Hummingbird

That should be enough from my own ideas and others in this thread. Best of luck.

If you are going with text as well as pictures, I'd use only the ones that work without actually saying "bird". You know, just Jail, Love, Early, Humming etc.

I'm also annoyed by the abundance of Angry Birds subs lately. But maybe that's just me.

L-M-N-O-P on Oct 10 '11 at 9:02am

Dicky Bird is a good one.

Any yes: I'd buy/wear this.

Musarter on Oct 10 '11 at 9:05am

Great idea for a design. I think choosing the best from Harago's list is a good call; for the most part, they are all common knowledge.

gumbolimbo on Oct 10 '11 at 9:13am

mmmmmmmmm,
I'd prefer not dipping too deep in the pop culture reference pond... Angry birds was on my doubts list for that reason.

I had a long list, including love bird, early bird and such, but nixed a lot of them because I thought them a bit too unimaginative.
I had a F-bird, but nixed it because there was a similar shirt recently.

Haragos on Oct 10 '11 at 9:25am

If it doesn't have Larry Bird on it I'm going to an Angry Bird

gumbolimbo on Oct 10 '11 at 9:34am

I don't even know who that is, honestly.
