Compete-tee-tion

Shirt.Woot’s New Designs: Football! collection gathers together some of the tees that didn’t quite get enough votes to print in the last derby. It’s definitely a benefit of the new immediate post-derby plus sale system that folks can get these shirts in time for football season (rather than the old system, which involved waiting a few months for a Double-Take derby). Here’s a look at a couple of standouts:

Best of the Bunch: Go Long‘s mashup of long cat and football is unexpected, yet adorable.

Shirt I Am Most Biased About: My Kind of Sport is a shirt for people who prefer owls to football, pretty much everyone right?

This promotion will only last until 11:59 p.m. on Sunday. So if there’s something you like, grab it fast!

Shirt.Woot mixed in a lot of brand new art to their recent Shirt-Off, offering a new design every half hour from 9am to 5pm. Since few people are able to stay glued to their screens for the whole event, the 14 New Designs from the Shirt-Off are currently available for purchase in a plus sale!

Best of the Bunch: Treasure of the Deep features some great use of negative space, and a wonderfully foreboding atmosphere.

Shirt I Am Most Biased About: My design Explore this New World imagines aliens landing in the ocean.

This promotion will only last until 11:59 p.m. on Wednesday. So if there’s something you like, grab it fast!

Shirt.Woot’s Needlework derby just posted winners this weekend, so now it’s time for the designs that didn’t quite make the cut in voting to get their shot at printed glory! It’s nice to see all types of needle and knit related craft represented in so many different ways, but here are the two shirts that stood out to me the most:

Best of the Bunch: For the Love of the Craft mixes Lovecraft and crafting, and looks great while doing it!

Nicest Surprise: I’m totally impressed by Stringiform‘s unique approach to the derby theme.

Shirt.Woot dug through all the entries in their recent derby, and are now printing some staff-favorite Specialty Ink designs! So if you’ve been hunting for a low cost metallic ink or glow in the dark ink shirt, look no further…

Best of the Bunch: Whoooooo Am I?… is an ordinary owl by day, but a neat Batman gag at night!

Nicest Surprise: The Price is Right and Game of Thrones are such an unexpected mix that it’d be hard not to smile at Winter! Come On Down!

This promotion will only last until 11:59 p.m. on Sunday. So if there’s something you like, grab it fast!

Shirt.Woot’s Pop Culture Mash-Ups derby resulted in lots of very printable designs, so it should be no surprise that this plus sale full of the runners-up contains a lot of gems!

Best of the Bunch: A Little Bunny WITH BIG POINTY TEETH! is a hilarious design, and even works well for folks who might not have picked up the reference. Cute animal cannibalism is universal!

Nicest Surprise: Most Zelda parodies keep their structure very close to the original game’s artwork, but by taking a departure from that and really tailoring every element to Firefly The Legend of the Ballad of the Hero of Canton should be a big hit with browncoats.

This promotion will only last until 11:59 p.m. on Sunday. So if there’s something you like, grab it fast!

Shirt.Woot’s Style Honorable Mentions collect the staff’s favorite entries in the recent derby, where artists had to use either Van Gogh, crosshatch or watercolor style. Each style got some representation in the HMs, but here’s what stood out to me:

Best of the Bunch: Turtle Reef uses watercolor style to create a bright, summery shirt.

Biggest Missed Opportunity: I’m shocked that the vibrant colors and fun vibe of Deep Impressions 2 didn’t merit a print!

This promotion will only last until 11:59 p.m. on Sunday. So if there’s something you like, grab it fast!

Shirt.Woot selected some great pieces for their Text Honorable Mentions plus sale, including a couple that are surprisingly artistic considering the theme. Here’s a look at two favorites:

Best of the Bunch: Caffeine – Let’s Do This! has the perfect expression to get your day started right.

Nicest Surprise: RGB-CMYK is a beautiful piece of art- I’m both surprised to see it in a text derby, and surprised that it scored well enough that it missed 3rd place by only 3 votes. So close!
