Great design, so-so shirt?

about Hungry Hippo

Being as this got an average score of 3.23, its clear that many people loved this shirt. Even so, the shirt seems to not be selling as well as the other shirts which recived lower average scores. Even I scored an "i'd buy it!" for this one, yet when i saw it ranslated to a shirt it didnt seem to flow right. What is to blame here? The fact that the shirt is only an outline and is not colored in? the fact that it is on a revolting bananna colored shirt? Do you think the design goes well on a tee?

Yes, I do, simply because it's something you can look at and know instantly what's going on and really well illustrated to boot.

I haven't bought mine because my poor credit card has influenza until tomorrow.

I think the design is great, but i think the thing tha steers people aways from buying it, is the color. Not a big fan of the bananna.

I love, love, love 100% And it was just shipped today which made me so happy

Everything works for me, design, colors, and I love it just as much (if not more) from when I scored it to T-Shirt mode.

And if you don't, no need to post a blog about it- just wait for another (looks at calender) two-five days!

I'm also confused about the selling potential of this as well as the others printed at the same time (see my blogs). I think this is a great shirt. If I didn't have my money commited to about 80 different things, I'd pick this one up.

i dont know if it was said "im too lazy to read" but its probally not selling well because most people got all their school shopping in already and had no time to order this.

if i got enough street team points to buy a shirt it would be this or pandamonium or phoning home

yellow.

if it were brown on grey, or white on blue or even light blue on brown i'd buy it. but i'm pretty drab.

TFM- Ha, finally the week I got EXACTLY enough street-team points I decided to use it on this shirt. And that was rather exciting, because I only had to pay three dollars for shipping.

Then I get 150$ for back to school shopping (which I have already spent 50$ of) which I will put aside some denerio for as well that will go over to "Papa Threadless."

So. Yeah.

Rant over.

I'm also kind of excited about the bannana color.

I think it may actually compliment me.
