haha, i like it alot if you can see it through the shirt.

Wilde Nut on Jun 22 '06

smart idea!

(matthijs) on Jun 22 '06

This only works on light colored see-through shirts. But that's not really a problem, I've checked my Threadless tees.

Yes, inside prints will be the new trend. Normal outside designs are soooo yesterday!

stickymike on Jun 22 '06

Im totally gonna steal your idea

Chest hair, printed on the inside, so people think I'm a real man

but seriously...5!

spencekarl on Jun 22 '06

very clever.

Max F on Jun 22 '06

good idea

amy122166 on Jun 22 '06

that IS a good idea. i kinda like it backwards too because then it seems like the person drew it on themselves while looking in the mirror.

mighty moody mut on Jun 22 '06

you are soooooo funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i like it!!
but i more liked it if the superhero would be less visible than on the submission.
pray that threadless does not use toxic colours!
: D

BUYING THIS!

Jo$h on Jun 22 '06

great idea! very original. 5

B14CKM4G3 on Jun 22 '06

fantastic idea, I'd love to see if it works out right

Bramish on Jun 22 '06

I think an AA shirt would make this work better.

Great idea!

Kojima on Jun 22 '06

^ Oh, you talking about AA's see-through shirts that show girls' nipples?

fc gravy on Jun 22 '06

you clever bastard! $5

kellybelly223 on Jun 22 '06

great idea :)

injection on Jun 22 '06

haha cool idea

Grimmeh on Jun 22 '06

I like this idea and I would buy this shirt.

cherrypop on Jun 22 '06

Won't it kinda stick to your skin a bit if it's hot out?
Good idea though.

joecacola on Jun 22 '06

^nope I have at least two shirts that are like this one

fastjumper on Jun 22 '06

thursdy on Jun 22 '06

I actually just saw a shirt with an inside print a couple days ago while shopping....sweet idea. Good job.

They Call Me Special K on Jun 22 '06

eh, this would probably feel really gross and i think the joke would lose its funnyness after one outing in it.

Versevice on Jun 22 '06

You get a 5 for such a revolutionary Idea.

bexxxxx on Jun 22 '06

a differnt color shirt would be nice....white is Not my think. other wise a 4

duke1974 on Jun 22 '06

Sign me up.

elowsky on Jun 22 '06

inside prints are pretty cool, they're great for a 'vintage' look and feel and aren't any harder/more expensive to produce than a regular print. And since it only works on lighter garments you don't have to worry about an underbase so its not so thick. I hope threadless latches onto this idea and prints your shirt. $4

mannew on Jun 22 '06

awesome idea

gbread1012 on Jun 22 '06

nah i have a shirt with the inside print..i think they print it differently than the normal shirts.

inkytwist on Jun 22 '06

I don't want a see through shirt though.. I mean, tacky for women. :P

snkhan on Jun 22 '06

I love it $5

timrb on Jun 22 '06

congrats on winning.

Antangil on Jun 22 '06

Reverse-printed shirts are made using a different ink- more like a Sharpie marker than the paint Threadless currently uses.

Awesome idea, by the way...

5

streetwise on Jun 22 '06

boobs showing through would be nice too (like a wet tee shirt contest), haha, but i'll settle for a superhero. 5$

hazy_sunday on Jun 22 '06

love the idea!

un4rtist on Jun 22 '06

Sweetness! 5$

cheerios91 on Jun 22 '06

stellarrrr.

iLikePie on Jun 23 '06

i have to admit, this is a great idea, and really fits the innovative theme of the competition (well, at least to the degree it's never been done at Threadless).

i'm just deciding whether i'd prefer a different design to this... i think i would (i'm not big on the whole pretending i'm a superhero or sending the message that this shirt would) but you still get the points for concept :)

montmont on Jun 23 '06

nice concept, I've seen it done lots before though, even Volcom have shirts like this.

Would have been nice to see a more complicated design using both inside and outside printing. But the metaphor is solid, should do really well.

kooky love on Jun 23 '06

new idea $5!

cchana on Jun 23 '06

$5. if printing inside didn't work, threadless could just print using colours that gave the impression that it was coming through the shirt...

awesome idea!

eineaugenbraue on Jun 23 '06

ah! this is amazing, $5!!!!

benny breaks on Jun 23 '06

the design does nothing for me. and the inside printing isn't tthat revolutionary since pretty much every surf company prints on the inside of their shirts...(and i'm sure there are others)

TimScribble on Jun 23 '06

Im all for it, $5. Id wear it with pride.

burlesque on Jun 23 '06

Really awesome idea.

FourtyFour on Jun 23 '06

PRINT NOW!! $5

Widgett on Jun 23 '06

Aw man. You get a 5 even though I could never wear it. White shirts make my skin fall off. And while that's a neat trick at parties, it's a real inconvenience.

Joybuzz on Jun 23 '06

I have seen the inside out screen prints, and I love them, but I am not fond of this design.

teechers_pet on Jun 23 '06

That's a really cool idea.

staffell on Jun 24 '06

It's a shame people have seen this before, maybe a new twist on this would be to have some ink on the inside and some on the outside with a different design - perhaps a snake or something winding its way in and out of the shirt (if that makes sense)?

bananaphone on Jun 24 '06

I like the idea but the thing is that a large patch of ink like that will not allow a persons chest to breath and will probably result in sweatyness and potentially a rash in some minute cases. You'd have to wear an undershirt underneath the tshirt.

(matthijs) on Jun 24 '06

Of course a print on the inside has been done before, although I haven't seen it much. The thing is, that in this case there's actually a purpose to print it on the inside, not only estheatically.
I don't know how 'sweaty' a print like this will be. I don't think it will be that bad and because of the climate over here, I do often wear something under my shirts anyway...

And Staffel, I had a sketch that also included a print on the outside with a pocket on the chest and a pen. It looked kinda cool, but I thought it was too cheesy.

ecky_ducky on Jun 24 '06

Oh this is so perfect for threadless loves threadless.

scrufidog on Jun 24 '06

This is ingenious. It seems like something I would've come up with...noooo. Never. This is too good. Now I'll never win the contest. Only if this works, of course. Good luck!

zimfreak on Jun 24 '06

Haha, so clever!

dancinghelicopter on Jun 24 '06

So Fun!!! I love his idea and plan to buy for all my little nieces and nephews if its offered in kiddie size.

Winu on Jun 24 '06

Smart! $5

CheesecakeBree on Jun 24 '06

Very clever. Not my type of thing, but a neat design anyway.

thumbelinax on Jun 24 '06

neat idea!!

nunzilla on Jun 24 '06

nice idea in using the shirt as a medium.... only downside is none of us chickas can wear this on rainy days... ;)

mrzestyness on Jun 24 '06

fantastic idea; clever, extremely original.

Ava Adore on Jun 24 '06

yeah i have a volcom tee with the whole print on the inside. looks good.
nice!

dagstar on Jun 25 '06

be sure to make em kiddy sized too! my kid is gonna ROCK this one!

somethingaboutairplanes on Jun 25 '06

The Academy Is... did a shirt like this, that was printed on the inside.

emolicious. on Jun 25 '06

por fin algo nuevo

lovelysadie85 on Jun 25 '06

haha, i loooove it!! if they don't print it, please email me b/c i want one anyway

Borf JR on Jun 25 '06

haha i love it

chisafer on Jun 25 '06

make this tee.

then I can cut the tag, and turn it back, so it will look normal, but backwards. That T would be awesome.

chisafer on Jun 25 '06

no, not cut the tag, like "cut-cut" it. Cut out the tag part and sew a new article on it. silly people, I knew what you were thinking.

Dragon12 on Jun 25 '06

HA HA!!! Love it!

graphic frost on Jun 26 '06

i love your ideas for this competiton! 5

ilikedesertlife on Jun 26 '06

i have like 15 million shirts printed on the inside because it looks interesting. i like the idea.

nuime on Jun 27 '06

Don't think I'd buy it as it's not really my style, but I love the idea and concept behind it. Totally deserves a 5 for that

meve22 on Jun 27 '06

That's a really good idea. Since it's going to be a thin shirt anyways, I think an extra layer of thin material should be behind it. Only reason for me is one less shirt to launder, and I hate wearing regular printed tees inside out... the feeling really bugs me, and I'm the obsessive type, so I won't be able to stop thinking about it the whole time I'm wearing it..

But enough rambling for me. I'd buy it.

mezo on Jun 27 '06

THIS IS A NEW TREND!

Great type treatment, too.

crizisaround on Jun 27 '06

if it works, i love it :)

PorcelainEngel on Jun 27 '06

Fabulous!!

ethicka on Jun 27 '06

clever...

s311j on Jun 27 '06

i agree, innovative concept...
although i most likely wouldn't wear it, i dig the idea.
cool.

pomegranatesoul on Jun 27 '06

I love this idea! =D

I_heart_ducks on Jun 27 '06

Orginality FTW. 5$

CFriend on Jun 28 '06

Love this idea, but this is going to be ridiculously itchy.

eldertreemother on Jun 28 '06

Way original.

freethegnomez on Jun 28 '06

REALLY good idea. you're my hero.

Chris Tanner on Jun 29 '06

i like the idea, but it would be uncomfortable to wear, unless you wore a t-shirt underneath, but then it becomes a design you can only wear in the winter....

but thats screenprinted.
