This isn't very well done.

I dont like the concept but the chips (fries) and burger look really good in that style but im not sure about the wheel.

I don't get it, without the word's on the side, so I'm not so sure...maybe if the shirt actually has the word's on it...

Ohhh! I get it!

Took me a minute or two, but it's like...a third wheel kind of thing right? Like that pesky friend you can't get rid of when you just want some alone time with that *special* someone. I think.

kind of cute, but I'd never wear it.

SIGH. In orde to help my friends here... "The squeaky wheel gets the grease." The burger and fries are the "grease".

degrassi perhaps you could expand one why it isn't well done. It is supposed to look like this.

Oh, but isn't grease the friend?

Actually, if you don't get enough fat in your diet, your gall bladder will die.

But that's off. Anyway, I like the sketchy look. It reminds me of .... ummm... something. I can't remember.

This is great J-ray, and I got it after looking at it for about a second a half. I didn't see the text on the sleeve, and I like that it's one of those things where you're like, "Wha......oh yeah!"

As for it not being "very well done," I think that's rubbish. It's supposed to be sketchy. Additionally, I wish people would stop analyzing waaaaay too deep as to whether or not you get enough fat in your diet or not.

This is great, as is, without explanation or pretext.
fangoriously world-class and grand
its good but i needed the text to realy understand it.
mabey put the words underneath???

Haha, the critics above haven't even submitted anything. I give fair feedback to everyone, good or bad- but honest. I consider each design - not just an instant response to it without any feedback.

Anyways, this is a take on the expression "The squeaky wheel gets the grease".

i think you need to try to make the wheel fit in more with the style of the burgers and fries .. coloured in. i'd give the wheel a tire [black] and maybe a little faux lettering on the tire [white/yellow] and bulk up the hub area as that looks like a wad of spokes. and i'ds try to find a visual way to make the squeak ... without a word.

I think people might get it quicker if there was no burger. The wheel would fit in better if it had another color to it. Otherwise, I like it.

Maybe if it were completley re-designed it would be ok.

Sorry..let me clarify so as not to sound like an ass-
Sometimes a "sketchy" look works-
and other times it looks cheap and silly.

I like the style, but I'm not very familiar with that expression so the concept doesn't work for me.

And- I don't think, "Haha, the critics haven't submitted anything" is a very nice thing to say.

I love the style! But its not a shirt for me and its kind of hard to decipher without the text. 4

0 from me because J-bomb or J-crew or Jay-quan or whatever is such a thunder-cunt--the two-year old scribbling in his coloring book would say "that's how its suppost'a be" but that doesn't mean it "good" or belong on my chest.
And I know you think you're simply prodigious for deducing that fries are greesy and conecting that idea to some tired platitude--so, brovo BROVO--in addition while i'm in a mood for billingsgate--just because someone has not submited a design of their own does not mean that they cannot rightfully judge your, so climb down off the high horse--there's a little pony with J-money written on it. keep trucken little fella

Wow, some people are so rude! This is a cool design.. I like the sketchiness. It would probably look better on a larger scale, though.

I got the concept and the design.... but I think most people if they saw you wearing it, would skim right over their heads... nice try tho.

I agree with nasomagiwhatsit - It would be easier to get the joke without the burger. I think the style of the wheel clashes somewhat with the style of the burger and fries. It might look better if it had thicker lines and/or was colored.

But even without the changes, I could consider buying this. It's a great concept.

I got it right away, and am really sort of surprised that more people didn't.
