Here's me in Wisconsin being a little disappointed at being a heel, but I'm OK with that because this is so GREAT!
Great idea.
I would suggest a bigger "VS" in the middle. That'd be nice.
And I'm all for keeping the text, maybe just revising the font a bit.
Way to go!

this is a great concept, but i think the lettering and lightning bolts could use a bit of polishing. i don't think they really match the two guys. i really like this concept though!

I would buy this. So creative. But I have to agree the words don't match the characters. The face of Canada is priceless.

i think it would be a much more exciting design without the "USA vs. CANADA" text... people can figure it out by themselves, i think.
but i like it, and it proves that NJ is just the thumb of america, not the ass.

Perhaps the "vs" should be a bit bigger (the bolts and 'bots could be further apart to prevent overlapping, or stay put for the purpose of overlapping)? Otherwise, pure t-shirt gold.

5/5

I love it!! I too thought it was going to be a map and was a bit let down at first, but then I realized it was 43 times better than a map because it was a map cut into pieces and rearranged!!!

By far the most creative and original idea I've seen in some time.

The only thing I would personally like changed, is the t-shirt color, but I'm not sure to what. I'm just not a black t-shirt fan. But it's still awesome!!!

OK...here's my take on this shirt. First off I give you wild props for a great concept..and im glad you didn't use Michigan as the hand.....that would have been too easy.!! I hope this becomes a series of shirts..ha! Now....my criticism.....Choose a better color than black for the shirt. The lighting bolts and lettering look way out dated. Like a 70's iron-on tee and im not sure if you really need the text. Im one who believes that other people don't need to be spoon feed shirt meanings...if they get it great if they dont too bad. I'd like to see the the "warriors" with some other kind of weapon....what that could be...good question.
America is known for handguns and Canadan for...hmm...I dont know....poutine? Or go old school with samauri swords and nunchucks.....or even some other power but not the bolts....unless you really rework the bolts so the looks better.
I give this a 3 as still a work in progress......and good luck.
PS..sorry this is sooooooo long!!

I agree that this could do without the lettering. More subtle (and less confrontational).

Michigan has to be the hand. I think it's the law. Everyone Ive EVER met from michigan holds up their hand and points to where "on the hand" they live. It's idiotic...but hey, they live in Michigan.

Secondly, no VS because...well, it's obvious.

Finally, why lightning? I mean, I thought we would be launching bombs and they would be shooting salmon at us and dousing us in maple syrup.
ryeofcali
   ryeofcali on Aug 31 '06
i didnt make michigan a hand because there is that weird shaped peninsula attached to the top of michigan that looked awkward on the arm, and if i omitted that , i would probably get angry letters from michigonians (how do u call people who live there?) who happen to live on that weird shaped peninsula.

thanks all for the constructive crits

I wouldn't like the US to fight Canada, as I think it's a very nice country. But it is a neat concept and well-executed. It looks like you spent tons of time on it.

And since everyone is stating the locations of their respective states...Ohio's the mouth! Whoooooo...

FRICKINAWESOME on Aug 31 '06
Someone likes Broken Social Scene, or at least thinks enough like them that they brought their song title to life without knowing so! I just wish the USA vs Canada lettering was less sketchy and matched with the meticulousness of the rest of the design. The USA should have a handgun and Canada either a hockey or curling stick!

ok, so should i resubmit with NO TEXT at all, or with text, but with a better font?????
I guess it is obvious that i spent most of the time piecing the battle bots together, and the text just sort of became an after thought. But i just felt like there had to be some message.

Lastly , just not crazy about weaponizing the bots, i think its sad that USA should get a gun and Canada would get something lame like maple syrup or a hockey stick, or whatever stereotypes that are floating around.
islemay
islemay on Sep 01 '06
I like it, but given that most map are oriented so North is the top shouldn't Canada be higher than the US? It confused me when I first looked at it, but i like the idea.
tenebrus
tenebrus on Sep 01 '06
I think that this shirt, sans text, is a $5 buy for me. Personally, I think that the lightning can stay; I'd be mildly disappointed if they were to have stereotype weapons (hockey sticks, etc...) because I think that that would split my attention between a really great concept (using states/provinces as components of fighters) and the stereotypes of the countries themselves. The only stereotype-free thing that I can thinking them "fighting" over is the Great Lakes. But that
s a prize, not a weapon.

And yes, it's Michiganians. (I'm not from there, but I checked around michigan.gov.)

first thing i thought when i saw was that there should be no text. i think any of the shirts on here, that have a picture and text are ugly. this is sooo a $5 for me, if there is no text.

locatei on Sep 01 '06
I agree, Canada should be on the top and that the image does not need the text. I think it'd look much better without the text. I'd love to buy this someday, it's super funny/creative!

Hmm you just stereo typed your self

1 - Canada is geographically larger then the us
2 - We would sick or killer sled dogs on you
3 - You would all die in the - 50 C weather
4 - Since we have snow all year round half of you wouldn't want to come here
5 - We have mad cow so you couldn't eat OUR Food
6 - Nature , Nature would scare the crap outta yall
7- We shoot lighting out our asshole not our fingers
8 - We like it on Top
9 - We don't have electricity yet
10 - We have only out houses
11- TV what the heck is TV
12 - The abominable snowman is on our side
13 - Beavers are deadly and they would kill you all
14 - Maple sure make for great sticky bombs
15 - Ketchup chips are our main food supply
16 - Smarties are chocolate
17 - The best pot comes from BC so the majority of our population would be high
18 - Since we are 50% covered in ice you wouldn't gain much
19 - 50% of Ameica is over weight I would love to see you do a Terry fox run
20 - We trust our Bush's

Accidental Amusement

It's a great, original design. I think it would be way better with no text. Maybe you could lose the lightning bolts as well. As for Canada being on top, I don't think it's that important.

Lose the country names.

I like it. Rework it a bit though. I'd buy it.
I like how they even have feet.
The Ontario shape is way off.
What is the large province on the right arm?

ps-enough stereotyping in the comments guys?!
C'mon we all know Canada will win anyways!

michigonians (how do u call people who live there?) who happen to live on that weird shaped peninsula.

People from the upper peninsula (UP) are referred to as UPers (pronounced, and often spelled, "Yoopers.") =]

Funny, fun design. I agree that the text is not needed. I'm digging the lightning, though. It would be awesome if you made it bigger/showier. Everyone loves showy lightning.

Good job.

slickhop
slickhop on Sep 04 '06
yo! great idea. if its not too much hassle, make em size proportionate. i reckon it isn't because wouldn't canada be far bigger? .... it seems others think similarly. plus i'd like bigger lightning, a bigger VS, but no other text. the states/territories will speak for themselves. i'm not really into the black t-shirt either. navy or charcoal maybe?

and is it five colours or are the lightning/names just the same colours done differently?

Woo CB is a .. fingernail. Love the concept, but I'm not a big fan of the colours or the lightning, font, etc. that has already been mentioned. Good work, though!

"What is the large province on the right arm?"
I think that's the NWT as the arm/part of the hand. Correct me if I'm wrong.
