Orange~On~Orange on Jun 01 '07 ha!
|
 |
Funny !!
|
 |
now gee, where have i seen this before?
|
|
not bad tho, great job.
|
 |
I really like it. Good luck.
|
 |
Someone's got some 'splainin to do! Too close, so unlikely, but I would still buy it $5
|
 |
it's a nice design, but i doubt they would print another shirt with the same concept.
|
 |
jawesome
|
 |
this reminds me of that one milk shirt with the chocolate milk baby...
|
 |
I would totally buy this, even though its been done. The milk shirt was yellow. Bleh.
|
 |
OH! OH! The milk shir--- Ahh, nevermind everyone else already said it.
|
 |
mj00 on Jun 01 '07 I like that all the characters are experiencing different emotions. Nice work.
|
 |
fuckin been done, sigh
|
 |
wait? what? this seems silly and doesn't really make sense.
thinking about the rules of chess and what not i don't get how it's relevant. peas explain |
 |
Wow! That is very close!
http://www.threadless.com/submission/66639/You_ve_got_some_splaining_to_do If you look at the original, Leeroy made it much clearer that it was a parenthood issue. I'm afraid this isn't so clear. |
|
this makes me think of that milk shirt but still funny
|
|
Yep, the milk shirt is the one we're all referring to.
|
 |
FRICKINAWESOME on Jun 02 '07 Seriously, come on people!!!!
This is EXACTLY the milk shirt, which was already a tired concept when it was printed the first time. I'll be nice and spare this a zero for outright concept stealing b/c i like the drawings and the situation a lot more than the milk sub, and b/c that wasn't an original idea in the first place. |
 |
i actually prefer this one to the milk shirt.
still bad show for idea poaching. |
 |
grayehound on Jun 02 '07 kinda jumping the gun to accuse someone of stealing, but yea, a thorough look through previous prints should be a requirement for anyone subbing. still, nice illo
|
 |
i really like the illustration and style, but...the concept's been. done.
|
 |
Props for using chess on a t-shirt.
|
|
Oh and add a chess board in the background. It's a bit plain.
|
|
hahahaha! 5.
|
 |
great...5
and come on guys, seriously, who cares about the milk one? sure it might be the same concept/idea but it's totally different illustrations and everything. |
|
cute, but it's too similar! if i made the milk one i'd be ticked
|
 |
funny, but it's been done... i still gave it $5 because that joke NEVER gets old
|
 |
I own the milk one, but I don't think I could resist buying this. Mayhaps as my backup "milkman's baby" tee.
|
 |
its too similar, but i almost like this one better.
|
|
The expression on the queen's face is perfect.
|
 |
I'm not digging the little dirt marks that you can see on the close up.
|
 |
kaloyster on Jun 03 '07 This is waaaaaaay better than that milk cutesy shirt.
|
 |
it doesn't read as easilyas the milk one if its suposed to be like it
|
|
kaloyster on Jun 03 '07 Even the dumbest thing breathing who doesn't know shit about chess would get this, ouchouch.
|
|
yeah... a pawn of opposite color can cross a chess table to become a queen but there's no "mating" in chess. relaly, the characters are cute but this shirt is made of fail. makes no sense. silly. concepts already been explored perfectly with milky shirt. end.
|
 |
Haha, reminds me of a combination of "mere pawn" and that milk shirt. I dont think its "made of fail", its a nice illustration {i really like the shadows and inky lines...}, but since its been done before it probably wont get printed =/. I'll still give it a 4 though :]
|
 |
This is so funny.
I hope this wins. I want a chance to by this. HIL-ARIOUS! |
 |
I really like it - same concept as the one with the milk. but I didn't get to buy the one with the milk, so...
|
|
very cute
|
 |
k, this is the milk shirt, arguably as good as the milk one, but too late.
|
|
It's just hit me!
The pawn shouldn't look surprised, it should be kind of gurgly and cluelessly happy (like the ideal infant!) instead of surprised and somehow prematurely aware of its predicament. The fact that it seems to be responding to the conflict maybe throws you off? |
 |
i like this one more than the milk one.. the art is more my taste.. and i wouldnt wear the milk one but i would definitely wear this one
soo $5 |
 |
Yeah, they never reprint the milk one...but this one is so cooler.
$5 |
 |
this idea actually just gave me an idea.
well realistically this shirt wouldnt really make sense becuz there would be no reason why a queen or a king wouldnt take a pawn if it tried to fork them. which makes the troubled look on the pawn quite understandable cuz he's in a tad bit of trouble. but i think you should add like a distant bishop with a sniper and a tracer laser pointed somewhere around there just to show that the pawn is covered or something...idk. sorry im in chess club. what can i say? |
|
I love a good fork! Mitchell, that was also the first thing that came to my mind! (Go, chess geeks, yay.) It's just not the thing that non-chess players, or the designer of this sub, think of first (or, in fact, at all).
But I would love someone to design your idea! |
|
heck ill design it.
thats actually almost exactly the idea that this shirt gave me. just gotta work on gettin some cheap form of photoshop first. meh. in the meantime, ill probably work on some sketches of my idea and maybe host em on my profile or somethin idk...actually maybe not. ya hopefully you guys'll just be able to see the finished design in a few months. |
|
You design it - I'll vote for it!
|
|
haaha nerds..
|
|
This is a really cool design!
|
|
nice!
|
 |
um. i know everbody has said it, but it has been done before. it's nice though.
|
 |
nice, but it reminds that other design of milk bottles...
|
 |
The milk one was way funnier
|
 |
HEY GUYS, DID YOU KNOW THIS WAS DONE WITH MILK? LOLOLOL.
ok, for real. |
 |
BWA-HAHHAHAHAHA! This is awsome! $5
|
 |
i like the milk one better...but this is pretty good too.
|
 |
youre a stupid person
|
|
youre a stupid person
|
|
can people HONESTLY stop stealing ideas? Its so god damned annoying
|
|
what "milk one" is everyone talking about?
someone wanna link me up to it? |
|
I'm awfully tired of this concept. there've been plenty of 'em besides the "milk one."
|
 |
absolute and utter copy.
enjoy your printless design. |
 |
Funny, but its been done.
|
 |
There has been way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way too many of these type of shirts.
|
|
Link is further up.
|
 |
To all those who say the concepts been done. This concept is way better. The queen didn't just cheat... SHE SLEPT WITH THE ENEMY!
|
 |
Just curious.. is the dark one ALWAYS the surprise? Why? Have there been any shirts where the white.... whatever is the "surprise"?
Anyway, why doesn't Threadless just create a separate category for these and get it over with... like Type Tees or something |
|
hilarious
|
 |
It wasn't as obvious what's going on here as it was on the milk shirt... I prefer the one that already got printed..
|
|
very much like you got some splaining to do but yet still completely awesome... great design
|
 |
Whilr this has been done before, I like this design better. $4.
|
|
that is freakin hilarious man. oh and i love stevi $5
|
 |
LMAO!!! love it.
$5 |
 |
It's like "You Are A Mere Pawn" + "You've Got Some 'Splainin To Do" ... except I like this one better than either of those :T
|
 |
1) all this talk about the "milk/chocolate milk" shirt really makes me want chocolate milk
2)DaveHorowitz raises an excellent point...i think he's got the right idea |
 |
I know it's a lot like the other, but I would honestly buy BOTH. They each have a different feel to 'em. Ya know?
|
 |
This had better win. I love it =]
|
 |
Who the fuck cares, man? Threadlesss owns the rights to 'Splainin and also the rights to this. Both designers are working for the same company. Let's say you were working at McDonalds and you wanted to use Ronald McDonald's image on some packaging, but the person who invented him says, "nuh uh, you can't steal my shit". Don't make no sense, right? That's why there aint nuttin wrong with this dude using the same derm idea.
|
|
Nothing wrong legally, I'm saying. Not sure about ethically.
|
|
I had to read through all the comments to understand the parenthood concept, it's not very clear. Cute design in itself, just slightly confusing.
|
 |
who cares that it's been done before, you can say that about a lot of things, it's how it's done that matters, and i prefer this much more than the milk shirt. i understood the concept right away. love it!
|
 |
no matter how many times this idea is used - i love it every time! the chess pieces make it even better :D
|
|
Personally, I just wish someone would use an idea on this theme other than the "two light things get into a dispute about a dark thing that could be the offspring of some illicit tryst." Two salt shakers clashing over their pepper shaker child, etc....
how about a fork husband confronting his fork wife over their spork child? this black-and-white stuff is too easy... |
 |
this one is done alot better then the other one. and i dont think it really matters that you cant actually have that happen in a game of chess. we dont know what those pieces do between games. the real issue, as was said before, is she slept with the enemy. thats some serious shit in the chess world.
and this one isnt on yellow. YES! |
|
I like the pawn. It's a cutie.
|
|
oooo now i get it.
the pawn is the queen's kid? but...why chess pieces then? i think this design is just way too confusing. |
 |
i like this so much better than all the other 'oops baby' designs.
and to mitchell90....i have no idea why this would be so confusing. its a very simple concept. |
|
kaloyster on Jun 07 '07 Two lover entwined pass me by
And heaven knows I'm miserable now |
|
seen the milk one - never a new idea - this one's better
|
 |
this one is better than the milk one
yay |
 |
I like the style and illustration, not a fan of what it's saying.
|
 |
I like the milk one better but it is a good idea still
