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. )

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

But, the question remains:

Is the concept good enough to begin with?

And the answer is:

Yes.

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

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.

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.

Dicky Bird is a good one.

Any yes: I'd buy/wear this.

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.

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.

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

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

yep, I figured. And, apparently, he's a household name?

In America he is, I guess. The weather is SPORTS here, and it rains all the time.

Teflon coating can kill birds, so beeeee careful!!!
gumbolimbo
   gumbolimbo on Oct 11 '11 at 2:28am
I think I'll kill the idea. It makes sense to restrict to known birds, but I'm just not that interested in drawing larry birds and mario birdo birds.

I drew this sweet gentlebird though, which I'll probably take into some other project.

my 2 cents: keep the cool weird birds like Birdzilla and Frankenbird. Everything seems cooler with them, and lame without!
