Hurrah!

about I'll Pass

Holla!
So thanks to threadless for setting up such a sikk creative outlet. A tip of the hat to you for supporting them and I'd like to recognize my family's support for letting me go into art instead of me desperately trying to succeed at t-ball.

Such a wonderful design. I'm probably not gonna get it, but I'm happy something like this was printed up...a great sentiment and a whole story in one quick snapshot. Well done and give yourself several pats on the back from me.

What he said ^. Great design that lots of people can relate to.

Adorable

I have the perfect 'rather-play-with-the-posies wouldn't-hurt-a-fly gentle giant' who needs this shirt.

I was this kid. Forced to play t-ball for a year, and I sat in the outfield and picked dandelions and looked for 4-leaf clovers until my coach jumped up & down screaming at me.

After that season my parents got the hint & i wasnt enrolled in t-ball again.

Thanks for the great design Andrew!!

Oh...Um...Geez. on Dec 17 '07 at 6:25pm

Oh God...this was me when I was little. When my parents signed me up for soccer, all I did was sit and pick dandelions. During the last game of the season, my parents bribed me to actually play by telling me that if I kicked the ball they would take me to McDonald's afterwards.

I want this shirt so bad.

I love how this design is bringing out all the not so pleasant I-remember-when stories about having to participate in little league. I've enjoyed what other posters have said, and I have a small story myself. When I played pee-wee soccer back in the day, I got distracted picking clovers while I was goalie. It's suffice it to say that I was never made goalie again. I was traumatized for a while, but I can (finally) laugh about it. I just bought three shirts, and one is going to my mother. FANTASTIC DESIGN!

Lol, I played little league baseball, and I always made holes between 2nd and 3rd base, where I was always stuck. One time the coach came out to yell at me, and I answered "But I thought my job was to make sure the runner stops, right?"

Sadly, my mother didn't get the hint, and I played sports for 5 years.

I absolutely adore this shirt. It has such an awesome story behind it. Like everyone else it reminds me of my not so great sport experiences as a child. lol. I love the kid's glasses... I want this shirt sooo bad!

Wow, I love this shirt. I saw it and I instantly started to laugh, because this shirt is the story of my life. I was on a soccer team because my dad was the coach and my god, how I hated it! I wouldn't pick flowers, but I remember standing in the field, with a completely dazed face as the ball went by the everyone yelling at me to kick it. Thanks for printing this shirt- it's good to know there are others like me out there!

Can we get this printed as a kid's shirt please?! It's perfect!

heidipetterson on Dec 17 '07 at 11:09pm

More of your stuff should be printed. Seriously!

Vinifera7 on Dec 18 '07 at 1:51pm

This shirt was me in little league baseball!

silverstar8403 on Dec 20 '07 at 3:42am

My story's a little different than some others. When I was little, I wanted to play softball, but my mom wouldn't let me because she was afraid I would get hit in the head or something. So I've always been good at school, but not sports so this design relates to me too.

Cute design. I've already ordered one! Congratulations!

The exact same idea was incorporated into a webcomic by KC Green. Even down to the appearance of the character and the flower.

Inspired? Ripped? Coincidence?

I bought this shirt because I think it's a very creative and clever idea. Ironically, I LOVED playing soccer as a kid! Oh well. :D
