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.

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

Good stuff! Clever!

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

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.

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!

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.

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...

Rather nice, but it seems impossible to print around the neck. And it evokes me suicide more than death penalty.

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!

thats so emo

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.

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.

Vare awsome. 5$

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$

"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...

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.
