About my design

by downrodeo
Ok, before someone says it, I think I'd better state it beforehand: this shirt is in no way intended to be racist or discriminating. It's taken from the phrase "black sheep of the family". I am pretty sure that most of us, at one time or other in our lives have felt this emotion, being the outcast, the accused, the odd one out, the black sheep.

I get it.....the successful one, the sensitive one, the academic one, the rebellious one that doesn't fit the mold and the one that thinks he's better than everyone else.

I like it. You could consider adding text to avoid confusion, but I like the design the way it is. So don't overdose with the text if you decide to add it.

Well, as the black sheep of my family, I'd definitely buy this. I don't think it requires any explanation at all, actually.

i agree with midnight. 'black sheep of the family' is a pretty well-established idiom.

hi all, thanks for your input... I don't really want to add text to it, I think that the idiom is quite famous, as cityauctor says. Oh, before I forget, no offense to New Zealanders too!!! ;)

I think you should add a wooly mohawk to the black sheep.

hi deftoned, the title, sheep shagged... cool nick, btw, i really dig the band, spelled with present tense, of course! ;) thanks much, cosmopoliton... subwaymonkey, I initially added a mo-hawk, but then decided against it... just seemed weird.

I agree it requires no explanation, but I didn't notice it quite right away. Probably because I'm tired, but maybe the black sheep could be just a touch blacker? I dunno.

I like this, I would buy it, but is the wall and the floor on the shirt? It did'nt look like it, but I'd kind of like it with it. I'd buy either way.

yeah, the wall would definately need to be part of the shirt... think "The Usual Suspects" and Kaiser Sose...

Yeah, the black sheep doesn't look all that black... more like a sheep in the shade. That could use a bit of work, perhaps.

I love this shirt, but where I live, wearing it would likely get me shot and/or interrogated.



Preferably interrogated...

nice, but u need to work on the background a bit more..

downrodeo on Feb 13 '07
reetzy , it's a line up, your supposed to spot the bad sheep. It could be the any one of em...

zoolauren, Usual Suspects rock! Kevin Spacey, with the limp and the morbid expression... it's gonna be on my top 10 best movies list for a long time yet! So, which sheep do you think is Kevin Spaceys character, Kaiser Sose?

jelita78, I guess I did not want to emphasize on the background so much, because those line up "rooms" are rather plain anyway [not that I have ever been in one or anything..." hehe.

thanks for your feedback, guys, really appreciate the comments. :)

Like it but I actually prefer the grey color the detailed design is on to the blue shirt.

No need to add text. The only people who would call it racist would be really really stupid people, and really who cares about them?
