I think I would like this more as just the colours running across the T.

love the idea and design. i think it would look best on a purple shirt in fact. purple or black. or both!



also, is the cloud just a happy little salesman in this preview, or does he go on the shirt somewhere?

I have absotively no idea what the thing under the color green is. Unless it's just "thing". Nice concept, but i agree i'd like to see the entire front filled with more colors running diagonally. nice idea tho.

Well...Nurple rhymes with purple. But I guess its not appropriate to put a Purple Nurple on the shirt.



I think the real question is, What rhymes with Orange??

For the iconically challenged, maybe just have one type of been with the green? I like it.

I like the kangaroo, but I agree with what someone said before: this might look better without those icons and just the rain.

curple is an archaic Scottish word for buttocks, or the hindquarters of a horse.

Johnny the homicidal maniac
It is sometimes said that the words orange, purple, and silver are the only words which rhyme with no other words. However, the following words have been cited as possible rhymes: sporange (an alternate form of the word sporangium), curple (another name for the buttocks; in Scots, the word for the hindquarters of a horse), hurple (meaning to walk lamely or to hobble), chilver (which the Oxford English Dictionary lists as an Old English noun meaning a ewe lamb, often referred to as a "chilver lamb", and cites uses as recent as 1883). But there is much debate about some of these words. Some question whether archaic words, or Scottish and dialectal words such as hirple should be counted. More significantly, it is questionable whether the pronunciation of sporange truly rhymes with orange, since the only pronunciation listed in the Oxford English Dictionary is "spuh-RANDJ" (with the accent on the second syllable).

i like how everyone is coming up with a bunch of ridiculously obscure words that rhyme with purple. you damn nerds!



i agree the beans could maybe be a little clearer, but other than that this is really cool man. would look great on black.

There a shirt already about nothing rhyming with orange...

If no one else cares, then I think I'd like it without the black outlines, if you can simplify all your shapes to the same level as the chalk outline and the kangaroo. Regardless of the black outlines, I think each of those 4 things should be drawn at the same level of complexity.
