Good job of RIPPING OFF AN IDEA THAT ADBUSTERS HAD FIRST!!!

Everybody should go to this web site to see the original idea. All he did was rip it off and put it on a t-shirt. BOOOO!!!

WHY IS THIS GETTING PRINTED WHEN IT IS AN OBVIOUS AND BLATANT RIPOFF OF AN ADBUSTERS CAMPAIGN? Even if there isn't a copyright issue I can't believe that threadless.com would want to profit off of someone else's idea. Have you no shame?

how about an inverse reprint: a black shirt with a white dot, to match the sneakers?

grr... stupid soon-to-be trendy $61 sneakers that don't come in size 13.

this shirt is pure genius! one of the most original I have seen!

this is very unoriginal. people have been using the black dot as anti-branding for several years. The grunge splotches don't match the clean form of the perfect circle.

For those concerned about "rip offs" or "copyright issues" - from the Adbusters page on Black Spot shoes:

"Open-source: Anyone can brand or co-brand their product or service with the blackspot, joining a loose alliance of thousands of other indy blackspotters."

Personally, I think this is a load of pretentious crap. Especially with the paragraphs on the back saying how important it is. If you want a non-branded shirt, just buy a plain one. I hate to be SO negative on a design, but this kind of thing infuriates me.

Instead of a black spot, you could have gone with a brown coiled design to signify the load of crap this shirt really is. If I wanted a brand free shirt, I would just go with a plain shirt. That way I could get three to a pack and still save money. Let's allow Threadless shirts to show their individuality by their designs and not by a paragraph on the back.

By creating a symbol for people who do not want to be branded should aren't you creating a brand? There is no way to create something brandless it will end up being a brand in itself.
