History buffs should be especially pleased with Shirt.Woot‘s Wonders of the World derby, which had a decided focus on monuments of the past (with a smattering of more modern inspiration). Here’s a look at two current voting underdogs that I think could use some more attention…

The Great Watermelons of Egypt by krisren28 keeps things fresh and fun for summer, and using a sandy yellow as the sun shape in the background is a smart choice to help the art still feel appropriately desert-y.

To Call the Gods by sebasebi has a unique collaged look, and the heavy texturing makes even the phone receiver feel like a relic of the distant past.

This derby continues through Thursday at noon. The top three vote-getters will each earn $1000 cash and $2 per item sold. Additionally, other designs will be selected and sold for $2 per item each. Both top vote-getters and selected designs will be sold in a future Plus sale.

Starting Thursday at noon: Derby #665: The SHIRTain of Youth

Youth is a state of mind. It’s also in a state of denial that summer is ending. But next week’s derby will embrace the new school year with a spirit of ‘junior joie de vivre.’ We’re looking for your best kid-friendly designs that will impress all those hip half-pints and mod munchkins out there. So get in touch with your inner-child, and submit your bestest shirts for young shoulders! Cream tees are not invited to the play date.

Shirt.Woot‘s ROYGBIV derby asked for designs that sported every color of the rainbow, and artists happily complied with pieces that exploited the lack of color restrictions. If you’re a fan of wild, colorful art and rainbow gradients, there’s a lot to choose from in this group. Here’s a look at two current voting underdogs that I think could use some more attention…

Crystal Cactus by krane0223 turns the usually sparse image of desert life on its head with colorful abundance.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Teacups by walmazan imagines the usually rough and tumble battling turtles as delicate teacups… but despite their dainty ways, these fellows are still ready to fight!

This derby continues through Thursday at noon. The top three vote-getters will each earn $1000 cash and $2 per item sold. Additionally, other designs will be selected and sold for $2 per item each. Both top vote-getters and selected designs will be sold in a future Plus sale.

Shirt.Woot‘s Tribes derby was about groups of people and the many ways they identify themselves, which led to a lot of diversity in approach and subject matter from artists. Personality traits and pop culture feature heavily, but it’s fair to say that there’s something for everyone in the mix. Here’s a look at two current voting underdogs that I think could use some more attention…

D.A.S. by porkyroebuck pleases dog owners with its minimal look and the diversity of dogs shown.

Official Procrastinator Seal by ormadraws uses the iconic Nintendo Seal to show how procrastinators are preferring to spend their time.

This derby continues through Thursday at noon. The top three vote-getters will each earn $1000 cash and $2 per item sold. Additionally, other designs will be selected and sold for $2 per item each. Both top vote-getters and selected designs will be sold in a future Plus sale.

Now that our color limits are a thing of the past, we’re celebrating with a derby that limits your colors to the colors of the rainbow! Each design must contain some variation/hue of all 7 colors in the rainbow: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet. You can use them however you want, but every color must be present. Limitations: NO RAINBOWS, and no cream tees. You’re better than that.
