About my design
by adamwhite   
A design I've always wanted to create, and decided this was a great time to do it.

You know you want to dance in this one. Bring you switchblade, and watch out for zombies...if only the sidewalk would light up you would be all set.

This is so damn tacky....thus is perfect for an 80s themed sub! Good work! Pat yourself on the back & then do the Moonwalk.

for those who want to see how accurate adamwhite's design is
a Beat It! red jacket

after seeing the jacket I think the shirt needs to be long sleeve,
but you don't have control over that :(
adamwhite
   adamwhite on Mar 22 '07
Cool 'Helo'. I had thought about putting the horizontal zippers at the bottom, and the two extra random zippers near the right side pocket, but wanted to distance this one a bit from actual coat.

Blast from the past! Instantly recognizable for anyone who knew MJ when he was still black. It's about time someone cashed in on the King of Pop. A long-sleeve would be awesome with zippers placed accordingly. Didn't MJ have on some obnoxious tie died looking T-shirt? Maybe part of that could be peeking out underneath just below the neck. Superb draftsmanship! 5x5!

Arzie....omg..i need that MJ beat it hoodie AND the Mr. T shirt they have at that site...thanks for the info! As for this tee, i think it is quite awesome indeed (i bought a knock-off of the jacket back in the day for a haloween costume), but doesn't this shirt need even MORE zippers to be accurate? just fill the frigging shirt with zippers....nice work tho 4$

But why distance it? It would be a 5 with all the zippers! $4

hummm... the subs in this contest are coming in way under scored and you've just been and to the list. Your score should have been higher on execution alone.

Thanks Edword.
I was really excited for this one, i'm not sure what happened.
litlnemo
litlnemo on Mar 31 '07
2.16? I don't get it; I thought this would be a high score. Maybe it's all the youngsters that don't get the reference.

If you got a lot of $ votes, though, maybe it'll still get printed.

   kaloyster on Mar 31 '07
My only concern is that why the two shoulder patches seems way too low?

INVOKE THE HELP OF ALL PATRON SAINTS OF THREADLESS FOR THIS TO GET PRINTED!

If there isn't a patron saint... just make one up.

PLEASE, Threadless. My birthday's coming up and all I want is this shirt.

:D

That t-shirt is fantastic! I went straight to youtube and found the beat it video with jacko wearing that! Is there any chance of a reprint on this? I have already purchased and all saints style belt to go with the shirt if i can get my hands on one and i have spray on emo jeans to complete the look.

Schamooone mutha fu**a!
