Why are they illegal? Threadless has yet to print one of the awesome pirate subs.

ParadoxControl -- The banana is from the shirt w/ a banana in the pocket... Him saying blog is poking fun of the Blog t-shirt that Threadless printed.

Love the gentle satire.

holy crap!!!!!!!!!!!!
I never do multiple exclamations but these are all things that I hate. Who would have ever thought that everything that I hate about Threadless could come together into a giant loveable mess. I know that there isnt space but a robot and panda would have been fantastic as well. As it is still a $5. I am debating if I should even submit since this deserves to win.

Thanks for the comments. There was a bunch of other stuff that I wanted to include, but you can only fit so many over-used concepts into one design. Anyway, I love "The Usual Suspects" so I jumped at the opportunity to do a parody on it. The banana is definitely the guilty one....

i love the satire, but for me to enjoy this as a shirt for my everyday life i would need the "blog" to be gone

i am sick of these "breaking all the rules" subs for threadless loves threadless. is it creative to have no concrete original ideas? if a collection of cliches shirt will ever get printed, it should be mo$$'s the ultimate tshirt.
BriteNite46
BriteNite46 on Jun 21 '06
i love it in red!! it's missing a squid and a panda tho. I still love it!

iLikePie
iLikePie on Jun 21 '06
yeah, i must say that it's not really that amazing or ironic to do this kind of shirt (along with the other 10 that have already been submitted). And since it's not, then i just sorta think... why?

Its a shame because you have nice style, so i'd like to see it used for some more creative ones.

Needs a broken heart that tips 45 degrees then we are in business.
But by far my favorite loves threadless sub.

love the way the cowboy is posing. frickin great.

and the shirt, yes yes, $4 for now, add some kind of skull or heart or some other cliche shirt imagery and it's a $$5

if a collection of cliches shirt will ever get printed
Isn't 'the things you love' a collection of cliches tee? I suppose there are some cliches you see now that you might not have seen then (were squids in fashion back then? It was before my time), so they could print another collection of cliches tee with an updated set of threadless cliches, but if they do I kind of doubt it will be for the threadless loves threadless comp (y'know, as it's supposed to be for concepts they've not printed before).

Not that I mean to be overly harsh on this tee, I like the style and find it aesthetically pleasing, but it would probably be better off in the general competition than in threadless loves threadless comp. I'm looking forward to seeing future subs from you. ^__^

the pirate need to be taller...i mean seriously would be be afraid of a 5'6" pirate! other than that im diggin it! 4.85 (5 with taller pirate)
Ste7en
   Ste7en on Jun 22 '06
its kinda cliche to be cliche (to be cliche) on purpose these days. Its a solid design and funny too, but it misses the point of this competition. The point is to move on and forge a new path, not pick on the people still treading the old one.

scaryrobot
scaryrobot on Jun 22 '06
I'm glad that the whole pirate/ninja/cowboy thing is being commented on, but in all seriousness, these cliches SERIOUSLY need to stop... especially pirates & ninjas. The whole thing seriously hurts pop culture, it's fake pop-nostalgia at it's worse. I'm this close to starting a guild, I swear.

But I'm not calling this design a culprit. A "4" for having your head in the right place Markle.

couldn't you fit a Flutter-By in there somewhere?
katolm
katolm on Jun 22 '06
Nice added touch with the skulls and hearts in the upper corner. But what I really want to know is- does the banana walk with a limp or just hop?

I agree with Ste7en that it isn't pressing forward in a new direction for Threadless, but it is a funny retrospective of some of the earlier prints.

5 for the idea and execution.

yes. 5. Light blue design on asphalt gray would be nice.

I'm sorry, but the pirate looks like he's holding a giant severed ballsac.

whylime
whylime on Jun 23 '06
thank goodness for ziggy and glloeb - I just read though all the comments slightly horrified that NO ONE else saw the giant testicles ! ... maybe they were all too distracted complaining about the cliches - still I'm glad I'm not the only one who saw balls

love the idea... but we're missing the humping animals. We have to outlaw humping animals (or anything for that matter) on threadless.
