an homage to a classic from a tee shirt lover! (8 colors...bars start at bottom of collar and follow the curve) ~e

Honestly, whoever doesn't realize what this shirt is a referance to, then they obviously didn't go to high school. Cool design though!

I like this a lot, I would just want the shirt without the words on it though. Nice one.

Without the text and on a colour other than white, grey maybe I'd definitely wear this.

no i say definitely definitely keep the text! the text all centered like that is what makes the reference clear, plus i personally think the shirt would be boring with nothing but those stripes on the shoulder. very very creative! good work!

I love it, but I don't love the text. If it referenced literature instead of t-shirts I'd totally buy it. Hands down.

I agree the text could be something a little more thoughtful, but losing the text doesn't make sense.

I have never seen these books so I think i best skip voting this one!

Without the text, it's just a little rainbow in the corner... But I agree, something more creative for the text maybe, this is a really cool idea.

This may possibly be the greatest shirt design that I have EVER seen! Without the text the shirt will lose all intended meaning.

i appreciate this shirt in that people who out-and-out say "i don't get it" when they see it are people i probably don't want to associate with.

I don't get it. It's clear from the comments it's a reference to a Catcher in the Rye school text probably used by millions of Americans, but I'm Australian and my copy of The Catcher in the Rye looked like this and that's from a British site so theirs probably looked like that too. I just don't think international viewers will like this.

so far no one that has disliked my text has proposed anything "cleverer"...and to make a title off of one of J.D. Salinger's titles that didn't reference tshirts would not make any sense on Threadless for tshirt lovers! duhhhhh... anyways...i'm glad it has sparked a little something. ~e

It took me awhile to realize it was a Catcher in the Rye reference. I knew it was a reference to one of J.D. Salinger's novels, but I wasn't sure if there was another novel of his that fit the "collector" theme more. But I do like it! Mostly because A. I loved the book, and B. I'm sadly addicted to buying t-shirts.
