Could work with pretty much any colour combo. Because I'm a dullard, I like the blue on sand, but it could be really bright.

I hope you like and no one is offended.

It makes me really want to read it. What does it say? Very good idea though. I don't know if anyone would take offense though.

DUDE THIS IS AN AWESOME DESIGN! pleaseeeee print.

fijickivie2....I believe what is says is also the title name.

hmm it is hard to say if this is offensive or not....I think if you wear this and you are not deaf it doesn't really make a whole lot of sense....I don't know though

Why would it be offensive? (head scratch) There are t-shirts with french on them. That's not offensive. This is just another language. If it said, "The deaf are retarded." That would be offensive. But it doesn't.

i'm not deaf, and i can still read it because it's just letters. deaf people don't spell everything out. they have signs for full words, just like how we don't spell things out but speak in full words. ... sorry if that was confusing.

anyway, i still think it's cute. $4

it says, if you can read this you are probably deaf! I'm not deaf by the way!

It's a nice clean design, but I can't see who would wear it. It's a bit too cartoony and blunt for people who are "mysterious and introspective" or whatever.

I'm not trying to be a jerk, I just agree with the others that you should use your artistic talents for something with a bit more substance

fuckin' awesome

The N and T look kind of off, for N isn't the thumb supposed to be between the middle finger and fourth finger? And for T, I thought the thumb is between the forefinger and middle finger.

si puedes leer esto, probablemente eres mexicano!

Well, I could read it, and I'm not Mexican :-) In fact, I don't speak Spanish (but I studied French and Italian) and I'm a really good guesser given the proper context.

I agree with HipHopaPotamus; someone who generally communicates using sign language would not say this phrase (if he or she did) in this way. But it's a nice looking design.

if all the lines were centered rather than more to the left I would buy it

some of the hands are backwards, if you are going to fingerspell something you need to stick with one hand either the left for the right, most people are right handed, also some of the letters are not front facing such as your S and T and A


sorry to be so critical but ive studied ASL for 3 years, i have friends that are deaf, and my best friend is a Deaf Studies major...this like this will bug people who are actually deaf

actually all those hands should be front facing as in palm to the reader...

Clever and hilarious. Well done!

Hmmm, seems like I may have ruffled a few feathers already. I used finger spelling over actual sign language because I felt it would communicate better to non-deaf people who speak in words, but write in letters.

Rambunkcious, thanks for your comments, this was a bit that I was worried about. I researched the alphabets and went for the angles I liked better. Maybe a mistake. Maybe I should have gone for all front facing hands and/or asked an expert. I did critique it and got a few helpful comments but no one commented that all signs should be forward facing.

that girl is scary

I did actually do a version with all the hands facing forward which could be substituted for the above. I chose the above and first version I did because I thought it looked better....

Please look here for alternative hand positions

finally someone who agree with me!
freaky eyes!

Nice one

all i can think of is some deaf person probably reading this... dont you think theyd be offended?

Why on earth would they be offended?!

"Oh someone has made a jokey t-shirt that I can read because I know sign language. How very offensive."."

coolness!

If it said "If you can read this, you're probably deaf... and a cunt" then it would be a tad offensive.

I would love to have a shirt that would express my love for deaf culture! (Yes, it's more than a language, it's definitely a culture. [And they do have a sense of humor.]) But yeah, they really do need to be palm-out. The R looks almost like you're flipping the reader off from here.

I like the idea.

I like the front facing hands :)

$5

With hindsight it would have been better to use the palm out hands, the one I submitted just seemed cleaner somehow.

Ogro dice: si puedes leer esto, probablemente eres mexicano!

O argentino !!!

i made a shirt like this kinda,

nice shirt though, 5

i like the other hand option better. looks a little more put together.

i think deaf people whould like this... its cute

i think deaf people whould like this... its cute

i take back my five... that was a typo and unfortunatly you can edit your coments. its a little rude, and a very easy design

i love it! it's not offensive and it's pretty coool. i hope it gets printed because i'd buy it! $5

You win.

I like it. I'm not deaf, but know ASL and how to fingerspell. Maybe " If you can read this, you know more than one language." 5$

I have never laughed out loud literally at anything on this site but i read the caption and looked at it and that is genius....awesome

I really like it! It's not offensive, it's FUNNY. As an overall design, it works great. I think you really should use the proper finger signs for the letters, though. If you were writing it in English and skewed some of the letters so they looked WRONG then it would be a problem for those of us who can read in English. IMO

I don't think it's offensive at all. Pretty clever.

This really needs to be printed. Maybe don't do it letter by letter, but actually use the signs for the words... I'd like to see it done both ways. Either way, this needs to be printed. I love the idea. $$$

5$ for the updated version

I think this is hilarious. Great job!

I like. Prefer the front facing version though.

I dont' know how this is offensive, that's like saying "if you're overweight, you're probably fat" it's an observation, is all.

I agree with bramish!

hott.

Simply Creative ! 5+ .

lol
