fatheed on Sep 10 '08 5$ Just awesome.
|
 |
what is a lorry? i like the lolly. great design. not a huge fan of the grey/gray shirt. wonderful font work.
|
 |
fat pigeon on Sep 10 '08 I like the design. I definitely needed the explanation though, but it's still great.
|
 |
funkie fresh on Sep 10 '08 looks great
|
 |

Gar0 on Sep 10 '08 Yerrow lolly!
|
 |
I had no idea 'Lorry' was just an English thing...
|
 |
tesco on Sep 10 '08 long distance Clara approves this message
|
 |
zipperking on Sep 10 '08 I love it! beautiful type. My only question is why does the last "lorry" look different? $$5!
|
 |
Never heard of lorry. We always said "Red Leather Yellow Leather." Try saying "Swiss Wrist Watch" five times.
|
 |
In the US, I've most often heard "lorry" replaced with "leather."
|
 |
nicely done but reminds me too much of the other one that was printed and lorry doesnt come across well, here anyways
|
 |
dschwen on Sep 10 '08 LOVE this!
$5 |
 |
Oh yeah, it's like "red leather yellow leather." :D Super cute.
|
 |
d3d on Sep 10 '08 yeah it's leather in australia too. looks nice though.
|
 |
mikemills on Sep 10 '08 love it.
|
 |
David T on Sep 10 '08 Great work! Love it
|
 |
ginetteginette on Sep 10 '08 who cares if you've never heard the word lorry, it doesn't make the design look any less awesome!
|
 |
another print
|
 |
unique new york quickly now
toy boat lol |
 |
ladrones on Sep 10 '08 that so nice!!
|
 |
A lorry is a truck in my neck of the woods (Oz).
|
 |
It doesn't twist my tongue.
|
 |
yellow baby buggy bumper
yellow leather |
 |
FRICKINAWESOME on Sep 11 '08 I love the type, i love the idea, im just not into "lorry". Toy boat is one that's hard to say over and over, but maybe just having the word "tongue" over and over and the entire thing being a piece of tounge twisting would have a better impact? Still great stuff.
|
|
Gar0 on Sep 11 '08 Thanks for comments.
|
 |
haha tis is funny :) we do them with drama but saying 'red leather yellow leather'
On I like is 'i want a propper cup of coffee in a proper copper coffee pot' |
 |
roadkill3d on Sep 11 '08 $%5
|
 |
Raid71 on Sep 11 '08 stunning, the type looks amazing... and what a great tongue twister
|
 |
ivejustquitsmoking on Sep 11 '08 Nice!
|
 |
i love this! tho i could never understand why you end up saying "yerrow lolly" after a while...
im guessing thats why the last one says "lolly" not "lorry"?? i like "six thick thistle sticks" |
 |
Nice one, especialy since the last one is a yarrow lolly!
|
 |
Love it, just the way it is. 5$
|
|
Gar0 on Sep 11 '08 ^bias. Adorable bias.
|
 |
Tonteau on Sep 11 '08 $5, Gav.
|
 |
BaronVonMonkey on Sep 11 '08 haha, this is so awesome! If it doesn't print at threadless, please get it printed somewhere else.
Also, lol at long distance clara. Also 2, no lorries in the US, whaaaaaat?! |
|
Gar0 on Sep 11 '08 I'm making a US version. Hopefully that one will be more marketable.
Thanks for support. |
|
BaronVonMonkey on Sep 11 '08 That's all well and good, but I want this one
|
 |
This is hot but Americans need an explanation or they won't get it . I think you should make a US version. No hate on the UK
|
 |
lovin it.
|
 |
it's common knowledge to know about the "red lorry, yellow lorry" thingie they have in UK. atleast all of my friends got this. I think this one's great, please don't bother making a US version, if someone doesn't get this, they shouldn't buy it. I hope this gets printed, maybe Threadless folk are a bit smarter than those who complain that "there are no lorries in US!". 5.

Tonteau on Sep 19 '08 Shitty score, man. Deserves way better, will be interested to see how the US version fares.
|
|
Raid71 on Sep 19 '08 low score, but still a good chance of a print
|
|
Gar0 on Sep 19 '08 Ta, I'm surprised a type tee got this response at all. I think the US version will only fair slightly better.

I think this should get printed side by side with the U.S version, like these: http://www.threadless.com/product/1197/One_Lump_Or_Two
A definate $5 for the British version. ;) |
