This one is open to interpretation. The \'Blue Angels\', or their British equivilent the \'Red Arrows\' have always amazed crowds with their specacular aerobatics and are famed for their discipline and precision whilst travelling at terrifying speeds. This image dipicts a detractor in the ranks. We all fall out of line and feel helpless sometimes - so I\'m sure you\'ll have some sympathy.

funny.

i don't think i'd buy/wear it, but it's a really funny concept

i quite enjoy the "help" cloud.

My dad is ex RAF (retired) and loves the red arrows. I can sort of imagine he'd love this too, so I'm voting $5 on his behalf.

FUNNY!!

i thought it said hello

Very nice and I love that you used the shirt color for your sky. $5

British Equivilent? Think you'll find we had them first Pal!



But neat concept : )

Maybe you should have the aberrant plan sort of.. breaking off from the rest, so the beginnings of the trails line up. As is it's hard to tell they planes were once together, if ya catch my drift.

Thanks for your thoughts. I didn't want to cover the t-shirt in vapour trails, which it would have been if the trails linked up. Besides, there is a plane missing from the left of the arrowhead formation and for the sake of symmetry, we can deduce that it would have white vapour. I thought it would have been clear! :-( The idea was to make it look as though it was spiralling out of control in the way that a balloon does if let go when filled with air. If it looked too much like text, it would lose its authenticity (in the loosest sense of the word). The word itself is actually unimportant - when I created it, my intention was for people to look twice to see if it actually says anything. PS: I am a Brit, but I worded the explanation in that way because Threadless is US-based. Must keep Uncle Sam happy.

I like this a lot.. good original idea

Funny. I think it would have made more sense if the plane seemed to be in peril... someone mentioned above about connecting the vapor trail to the area of the other planes. Visually I don't think it needs the other planes (although they look pretty cool). Maybe you could angle the "help' trail across the shirt to make it look like a downward spiral.

I agree with December13. I think that would really solidify the design. The concept is great btw.

lmao wonderful!

i'm really into it. just a great first instinct. $5

ps that meant i wouldn't change the design, i love it as is.

I love it, no changes!

Random fact! The Australian version is called the Roulettes. The first thing that I thought when I saw this design was a light, funny sort of mood where the stray plane is comically out of control. I don't want this to be a sad shirt, I like it happy. Anyway. 5.

I share your optimism! Some would have the pilot spiralling helplessly to a burning death, but thats not what I wanted! I'd say you've described exactly what I was trying to achieve - it is a comical moment - the plane being out of control, rather than in terminal malfunction. Hence the upward trajectory which provides us all with hope. Sad shirts make me sad also. Thanks

its pretty cool, but i dont think i would want to wear it.

I'm not sure you need the other planes. i like just the one that says help. anyway, cool idea.

I think it's a good idea but the point could come across better if the pilot started out on the same path as the others and then strayed off to form the help sign. Otherwise he seems to disconnected from the other planes.

I absolutely loved this design. Incredible. You captured something new and did so incredibly well. If this doesn't get printed, contact me and I'll print you one (as long as you let me print one for myself). If it does get printed, I'm buying two.



Very rare 5 from me.



Ryan,

Bies Design Studio

i used to fly one of these planes myself when i was yonger. it was a rush.

no, too patriotic for me...

too patriotic?!

not patriotic at all. i like it lots.

i'd like to get this - anything to do with planes remind me of me hubby :) cool!

haha, a.d.d. fighter pilot, i like

I like it.
