This design brings me back! Simple two color job.

I've seen this before, or at least something similar

I love it! $5 from me.

I dont get it

BACK TO THE FUTURE!!!

It sucks that a similar version has already been done but nice Flux Capitor

i still dont get it

it's a bit too similar.. unless you're the original designer, that kinda sucks.

The Flux Capacitor doesn't feature in this design!

I think this design blows the doors off the other one. That older design was done by an amateur in the style of suck.

This design deserves to be produced. $5 from me

How does Phiffer not get it?

i dont get it

what is there not to get? this one is so much better than the first one...and who has even seen that first shirt before!

Never meant to bite. I hate unoriginality as much as the next guy. Honestly never saw the other shirt. No Harm intended.

I swear Bustedtees or somebody like them has a shirt with the EXACT same graphic on it.

It kinda annoys me that the door is open coz it wouldnt be.. But its necessary for the understanding of that it it.. Otherwise I like it

I swear Frickenawesome found this shirt on Bustedtees or somebody like them with the EXACT same graphic on it.

no

I still don’t understand. Is this a reference to something?

BTTF

Let me try again.

BTTF love.

Though I find it unsettling that that DeLorean's approaching 88mph with a door open.

Why are we debating the originality of this t-shirt?

This t-shirt, and every other t-shirt that looks exactly like it in the world isn't copied from a t-shirt graphic, it's copied from a famous movie trilogy.

And the Busted Tees version had the hilarious caption "Time Flies."

FINALLY A GOOD DESIGN!!! HAHAHA

It's official.... Phiffer is retarded

well thats not nice to say. But seriously what is this

While we can all agree that this design won't go far on Threadless because it's too similar to the other design seen elsewhere, I'm disappointed that no one really bothered to check the details.

If you were really a fan of BTTF, you'd realize the back is modded, as in BTTF2, to run on organic material.

what is BTTF?

BTTF= back to the future (movie) my FAVORITE movie

does that clear things up phiffer? if not:http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088763/

oops didn't mean to do it twice

wait one more time so he can click it. ahaha sorry for the MANY comments. ..... if not: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088763/

okay maybe not. and i swear: this is my last comment

cute!

first its just a tracing of the delorean. there is no joke or pun or play , its a stagnant refrence to a movie..

why is everyone harping on this...if you don't like it give it a bad score and move on. you don't have to be a jerk about it.

I like the flame of the background design; any way to add it to the shirt? And yes, its got me wondering what happens when you hit 88 mph with the door open...

Good question. Let me give you the time for a proper response.

First, it's better for everyone that people point out unoriginal designs - it keeps plagiarism away and keeps the legal bills down for the kids at Threadless.

So, YnkeeMnkee apologized and you're thinking all should be said and done, right?

Since you're new to Threadless, I'll tell you something you may not know.

Whether it comes to critiques, submissions, comments, or whatnot - quality control is not what it used to be on Threadless. As someone new, you might look at all the submission rules, decline reasons, etc. and think things are under control - the dirty little secret is that many aspects aren't enforced.

We can use /b/ on 4chan as an example of what happens when users run amok with anonimity, without trust, with no rules. Luckily, Threadless hasn't gone nearly as far.

Many users have turned to public humiliation and intimidation on threads,unintentionally or otherwise, as a result of this lack of moderation, for better or worse.

Sure, Threadless should use the community to help moderate - but give us the tools.

Put some buttons to flag submissions with a place to explain why. Put a button to flag a user who is being a troll.

The little "Alumni Club" icons are great to distinguish status among the community - why not have a similar thing for people who have scored so many designs - or give people a means to build "reputation points".

There are so many little things that can be done to improve the status of the community...

Following Arbitrary Rules and "Needs Work" What A Waste

I dont think this is a rip off, its the car off the movie!!

cool but i've seen something like your design

It's amazing how many people post comments without looking at what previous comments have already been posted.

What's more amazing, sometimes, is what people say even after reading all the comments.

I'm with you CM ^^

Sorry , No !

Would prefer not as cartoony of a depiction of the DeLorean.

So what is this about?

Cool design!! Still making shirts I see. I still have my Waking dream shirts lol
