Outbreak Kojak

About the design

Submitted by eskimokiss on April 30, 2004

Nobody get their knickers in a knot. I'm just taking the piss. I'm not expecting this to by any means even be considered for printing. Just thought I'd pay homage to Girl Friday's design, and the bald headed sucker himself... Telly. BTW Telly will be appearing in a few upcoming designs, stay tuned.

Hey can anyone out there check this design that I submitted and that was rejected by the 2 jakes and tell me if it offends them, or if they find it inappropriate in any way, shape or form.

i seriously thought that "Outbreak Kojak" would get rejected, not the design that is promoting a good cause. Ah well :/

icmedia

at least i'm not the only person who submits on here strictly for the conversation value of a piece.

I'm not sure... but I think that the tee...

... was rejected because of the printing area. Is to big for the printing plate. I guess. It's not ofensive... not for me. That is why I thing that the problem is the total area to print. E-mail them and ask? ;)
:)
be cool ...

tooo funny

Liam_81

better than the original.

joshcium888

i dont like this one as good as the original, the original is like.. mysterious, and this is just comical.. i like it better on the mysterious side alot more

Ava Adore

good stuff!

At first glance it appeares to be a typical bald-pated inbred english football hooligan wearing a carpentry mask, but now I see it..yeah, a germ-phobic Kojak. Sweet. Who loves ya baby? Me, that's who. Even like the colours.

ttka

not really convince by this T-shirt...

anistrophic

i'm sure theres some sort of copyright standard you're breaking here...

In what way anistrophic? copyright on girl fridays design, or on the image she downloaded and then traced in illustrator? I don't see how I'm breaking any copyright standard. The only similarity between "outbreak girl" and "outbreak kojak" is the dust mask, the neck and tatt, and the colour of the shirt. And just a reminder.. this is a piss take. Do you know what that means???

sounDune

what's a piss take?

icmedia

this is an ironic statement, a joke. i got it, and had a good chuckle. not many people on here get irony or sarcasm, though, in my experience.

evenmore

the face angle and the mask angle are different , they don't really match perfect ... or maybe i am too tired :)

anistrophic

an artist may hold copyright over their style...

designs posted in this forum are supposed to be submitted with the intent to win the threadless competition, thus the voting. what if this actually got printed?

icmedia

it's not like this is an automated system and the highest scoring shirt gets sent directly to press by robot oompa-loompas...

even if this got an average score of 4.9 with everyone choosing 'i'd buy this,' it's still up to the site's creators what does and does not get printed. hell-the judging part only helps them determine what would be economically viable for them to print, and they still get to print up anything they want (including designs that scored lower than others).

anistrophic

true, but if they cared to go through every pile of crap that everyone here posted, you think they'd have outlined submission rules?

icmedia

my comment wasn't in defense of breaking the rules. my comment was to point out that it won't get printed.

vwoop

completely ripped idea. its already been printed.

please dont print this.

Some people just don't get it....

wwoop: read the f@cking previous comments before making a comment yourself. What the hell did I say in my first comment? It's not meant to be printed!!

And for f$cks sack it is in no way breaching any copyright standards. To make the comment like anistrophic that you can copyright a "style" is ludicris. If that were the case everyone on threadless would be breaching copyright.

I'd say there would be probably over 300 people submitting and only 4 styles between them all.. get a grip people

lilmyss

This is so funny, do people just comment in conversations without knowing the conversation? Hello, it is funny, copyrights?
Some people are just uptight...

Staxwax

s'alright, just come up with something original. a remake is NEVER as good, don't ya know?

Flappy

haha this is great! it looks like hes got a mean grin under the mask. you should make another one but dont say it shouldnt be printed :P

anster

i LOVE this t... possibly more than the orig.

nasty

its neat yo...

icmedia

lilmyss===

that's one of the best things about this site; people make all kinds of comments on here without doing any kind of research, even if it only means scanning the other comments above theirs.

judied

wat an imitation

icmedia

it's an even funnier imitation when you think about how 'outbreak girl' was, itself, an imitation. alot of people made nasty comments on that submission.

lilmyss

icmedia,
i guess it uneducated comments makes for good entertainment...=)

lilmyss

it? can't type...

icmedia

uneducated comments are the best entertainment on here.

morecereal
