I'd love to rock up to work wearing this!
|
 |
haha i really like the idea, but i dont know how well this would work with the whole jena 6 thing. i'd rock it though
|
 |
Im sorry that I dont find wearing a noose around your neck funny, I find it more insulting then funny.
|
 |
tesco on Sep 24 '07 cool. dont know how feasible this would be to pritn. it would be a shame to compromise and not have it going right around the neck hole. still, good shirt. 5
|
 |
Monkey III on Sep 24 '07 Good stuff! Clever!
|
 |
Montro on Sep 24 '07 It's a great idea, escaping death penalty never looked this good. Sadly, I wouldn't wear this out of respect of a deceased friend.
|
 |
i like it but not sure i'd wear it... i'm sure there are people who will.. 5... not on white
|
 |
fatheed on Sep 24 '07 Yeah - this can only work if the print goes around the neck. It's a good design, but too macabre for my personal tastes - and couldn't wear it for the same reasons as Montro.
|
 |
would deffo buy this. like a lot.
|
 |
wotto on Sep 24 '07 I'm with Montro on this one.
|
 |
ditto Montro et al
|
 |
This is a great idea, but I'm not sure I or other people would feel comfortable wearing this in public. It's just kinda macabre, but than again such a GREAT design.
|
 |
I'm not sure a wrap-around print like this is possible. Is it?
|
 |
I don't think this shirt has anything to do with the death penalty. I'm pretty sure it's just a design. Cute idea and balls for posting it here.
|
 |
I rather like this, gets my vote!
|
 |
viralVISUAL on Sep 24 '07 I like the idea. Wouldn't wear it myself though. 3.
|
 |
I think this is a cool idea, I have a lot of friends who'd love this.
|
 |
FRICKINAWESOME on Sep 24 '07 I think most people in America would take as a statement about our violent past of lynchings and the current Jena 6 fiasco, although that event will be forgotten when the media finds some other unfortunate current event to exploit. I like this idea a lot tho just based off the pun and the image itself, if Threadless could print around the top of the shirt like that. Nice work besides the obvious misunderstandings wearing this shirt will most defintitely occur.
|
 |
this isn't clever at all and as far as design goes it falls flat
better luck next time |
 |
Hmm well I think this is a cool idea, and never heard of the 'Jena 6' before this...
|
 |
nonolarson on Sep 24 '07 Rather nice, but it seems impossible to print around the neck. And it evokes me suicide more than death penalty.
|
|
emeryg on Sep 24 '07 wow some well mixed reactions here which I fully expected from this design thanks for your thoughts and comments so far and please keep them coming I'd really like to see how many people would wear this deisgn?
Also on the print side of things I think it’s possible to do a full wrap on the neck print as this is essential for this design and having bought Iconoclast T recently I was surprised to find that the whole T has been silk screened including the neck itself so if anyone can Threadless can! http://www.threadless.com/product/891/Iconoclast |
 |
thats so emo
|
 |
Ste7en on Sep 24 '07 Anyone that would confuse me wearing a noose as insulting to them is not someone I want to talk to anyway....but sadly they will probably try to anyway...5$ if it can be printed.
|
 |
mrwalrusface on Sep 24 '07 I dig this 5$
I would buy this if it was on white and if it was printed with the full wrap |
 |
its kinda funny, but not so tastefull
|
 |
Saw this in TV a couple of days ago. It was in the news, they were talking about the Madrid (Cibeles) Fashion Week and a guy was wearing a white t-shirt that was identical to this design. I don't know if it's a coincidence, but nevertheless, it has already been done.
|
 |
i really like this, it reminds me of scarecrow from the batman cartoon. but too many ppl will see it as a reference to lynching or suicide. it wont get printed but $5
|
 |
my opinion....extremely offensive...and not in a bad word or discomforting topic way...but in a terribly serious gut wrenching way that would be inappropriate in most every case.
|
|
I personally would wear it, but I don't really see it getting printed.
|
 |
i actually have a shirt a lot like this from proletariat. but honestly? i might like this one more.
m |
 |
Vare awsome. 5$
|
 |
kooky love on Sep 24 '07 GREAT $5
This design brings the positive messages. Free from death rope punishment. Reject the passion of suicide. |
 |
wow. this would mos def start contorversy
|
|
Change the name to "set free" or something and add a pair of shears in the illustration - gets the same point across but might be a bit more considerate of those for whom this might hit close to home. Great illustration and very original - with changes $4
|
 |
This is OK for Halloween, but can't see much use for it otherwise.
|
 |
i would feel depressed wearing this shirt
|
 |
i like the idea
|
 |
this is creepy...and wrong. Making a joke about suicide isn't "cool" or funny... yeah, def. what pixtoons said...MAYBE for halloween,..other than that a big no, 0$
|
 |
I'm pretty sure it would be very tough to print this as the only possible way would be if we could load the tee on the printer with the full neck exposed on the board which in my attempt here was not easy.
Iconoclast was done with a belt printer where the front and back are printed separately. Belt printing is also only an option for Select designs |
 |
"add a pair of shears in the illustration "
adding a pair of shears would detract from the image. Correct me if I'm wrong, but, to me, this invokes a sense of weight someone has-how they feel. Surely I'm not the one only who wakes up feeling like there's rope around my neck some days? [not in an emo sense or a suicidal sense, but a general sense of oppression] I love it. $5 $5 $5 |
 |
Hmm, too soon? I'm seeing a limited audience here, not to be blatently racist. I know it's not intended to send that message but...
|
 |
mezo on Sep 25 '07 I spent a lot of my life living in Alabama....thus, this design makes me very uncomfortable. While I appreciate the innovative around the collar print idea and the execution itself, I could never buy this. 3
|
 |
hmnnnn...i like it...
|
 |
not funny, try giving this to Owen Wilson and see what he says
|
 |
Offensive but not in an ironic way that makes it good.
|
 |
Given the noose has always had multiple meanings in human cultures, offensiveness *is* in the eye of the beholder. But now is not the right time to go printing noose tees, especially given the recent Jena 6 protest and collateral fallout.
The overall design does need tweaking (the circumference of the noose should only print on the shirt material, not on the ribbed necking), but printing on the seams is only reserved for more expensive Threadless Select t-shirts. Now, an albatross around the neck would be wicked cool (read the poem "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" for the reference), given the resurgence of pirates and maritime life. |
 |
its great idea but id never wear it
|
|
good design, bad timing
|
|
I thought of this mostly as a "tie" you would wear to work.
If the whole Jena 6 thing wasn't going on, I'd probably get this shirt. |
|
emeryg on Sep 25 '07 thanks gang - I designed this as a power play on the blue collar suit & tie - most of us here are lucky enough to work and live in a generation or occupation where we don't have to conform to the establishment - so this design is intended to break free of those corporate shackle's of oppression.
As with most controversial subject matter it’s open to individual interpretation so I'm still very interested to hear your comments both good & bad. Shimala thanks for shedding some light on the production issues – From what I can gather its “very tough to print & is not easy” but maybe possible? |
 |
you are a horrible person
|
|
emeryg on Sep 25 '07 I am sorry Granny
|
 |
Depressing, but you know you'd see all the goths wearing this one. Simultaneously.
|
 |
very unkind to some of your fellow human beings out there
|
 |
i like it, probs wouldn't wear it is lately my family has been cursed with death(9 funerals in 4 1/2 years) but sill skills for making the shirt and keeping things interesting
:) 5$ |
 |
spires on Sep 26 '07 Amazing.
$5 |
|
i think every emo would want this
|
 |
MrDomino on Sep 26 '07 I would love to wear this to a corporate interview under a suit jacket. The new statement in power ties. Clever, but damned difficult to print.
|
|
most of us here are lucky enough to work and live in a generation or occupation where we don't have to conform to the establishment
What establishment? |
 |
Thanks for this. My friend hanged himself a little over a week ago.
|
|
MrDomino on Sep 26 '07 On the contrary, I would say that the "establishment" rules us all with a gossamer fist so slight that we barely notice it.
|
 |
bad_nobe on Sep 26 '07 this is great.i hope there would be no printing problem.
|
|
emeryg on Sep 26 '07 wow some really positive feed back thanks guys and much respect!
shibby558899 sorry for your loss - I also lost a mate to suicide (drowning) and also an uncle (shotgun) and cousin (hanging) - there's nothing any of us can do its just a fatal wrong decision some people make. |
 |
this is awesome. f*ck political correctness
|
 |
Interesting, but I'm not going to wear it...
3 |
 |
I would wear it just for the controversy; people are taking it too seriously.
|
 |
I wish people would just stop being so politically correct and "offended."
I had a friend who hung himself. I also grew up in the south. And this shirt doesn't bother me at all. Would I wear it? Do I endorse it for printing? No, but that's because it's not my style and I don't find any real design merit in it. But I should hate to think that someone wearing a shirt like this would get spit on my people saying "oh my god I'm SO offended." Psh. And don't give me any "but ottr you have no idea what you're talking about (here's why)/you're so mean and you're a butthole" comments. |
 |
aweshumness...
|
 |
if youve EVER known anyone affected by a hanging in ANYWAY, you would not do this. its messed up a lot.
|
|
A friend of mine killed himself this way, so please respect that and do not think of this as trendy.
|
|
even though i hsve in past times felts as if life was choking me I agree that in light of Jena 6 and the high numbers of young people who take their lives in this manner, it may not be in good taste.
|
|
my reaction is just "eh, just another shirt. amusing, iffy if i'd wear it enough though to merit buying it"...but seeing how overly dramatic most of the comments are has inspired me to give you a 5, sir. good luck
|
|
Bad timing w/ Jena 6. Not good.
|
 |
if it was on another color except white I'd buy it, but I just hate white
|
|
onemannbrand on Sep 29 '07 Like it! $5
|
 |
very nice idea, good placement and sizing, but yeah, i'm not sure how comfortable i'd feel wearing this in public. i'll give a 5 anyway.
|
 |
-----------------
would be fine to wear if no one ever hung themselves or that wasn't a way to kill yourself, unfortunately people and it happens, I wouldn't like to make someone feel like s#$t by wearing this because they knew someone that hung themselves. |
 |
I would def wear it. It's not more offensive than having a shirt with a pistol on it...
The design is really great, it's symbolic (corporate ties, necklace, etc) and is very different. Good work. I hope it's possible to print this.. 5$ |
 |
I see this as an image of escape rather than death.
|
 |
Bramish on Sep 30 '07 I'd wear it.
|
 |
Ive seen a shirt like this already. Not on threadless, but some weird souvenir shop in Florida a few years back.
|
 |
Judging by all of the above comments if this shirt REALLY existed we'd have seen a picture of it by now - as its so controversial and different it would be in the media as will threadless if they decide to print it - go on threadless stick your neck out!
|
 |
I think that this is a design that you either hate or love... I hate it- Even though the design and style is very delicate and nice, it just doesn't work for me. .. sorry
|
 |
hot topic sold a shirt like this
|
|
This is clever, but I wouldn't buy it as I find it kinda distasteful.
|
 |
DrawingEvils on Oct 06 '07 5$$$
i'll buy this for me, and for my friends I know. |

emeryg on Oct 29 '07 na must be dead its called "the killing tree"
http://www.threadless.com/submission/41098/the_killing_tree |
 |
LMAO my first submitted design was the exact same concept..
http://www.threadless.com/submission/34347/Second_Chances Except your is a lot better executed than mine.. |
|
emeryg on Feb 20 '08 Cool G-Skape - I didn't know you had sub'd this - quiet comical to read the reviews and make comparisions with all of the above :)
