@jasneko@mfladd Yep! The outsiders. If you haven’t seen it, it’s worth a watch. Launched tons of careers: Tom Cruise, Patric Swayze, Matt Dillon, Rob Lowe, and more.
@jasneko@sammydog01 I am a little upset that your second shirt “Kachou Fuugetsu” isn’t doing better in the derby!
A lot of the shirts on wOOt are not ones that I would wear. But I would where your shirt in a second. I love the quote. I do also really like “Circle of the Sun” one. I would buy that too. I didn’t look at the artist though.
@jasneko@mfladd@sammydog01 It’s becoming more of a thing, lately. They seem to be cherry-picking the derbies for dailies. Today is another example of that. And they’re picks have not necessarily translated to large sale days.
@ACraigL@jasneko@mfladd I see “dogpile” made it- very few votes so they must have picked it. I guess I should go buy one to show solidarity. So many puns and mash-ups. That’s what people vote for, but is that what people buy?
@ACraigL@jasneko@sammydog01 It must be, but I would not wear most of them them. I think the only funny one I wear is the dinosaur/exercise one I have. Scratch that, I do love my fallen tree/can you hear me shirt. But otherwise I prefer the more artistic ones.
Can I still buy @jasneko’s shirt even if it doesn’t place in the derby?
@jasneko@mfladd@sammydog01 That’s up to her. She hasn’t been offering the artwork because the group sales have been performing so poorly. It would likely get an honorable mention, if she did though.
@jasneko@narfcake Sweet! Got mine too. Turned out well (though a little larger than I intended). From a group sale perspective, it’s doing OK, with 39 sold so far.
@sammydog01 Thanks! But if by “a bunch” you meant “none” you were right. I did pretty well in the last group sale but this outdoors mix is tanking (and not just me, either).
I am still sad @jasnekos shirt didn’t get editors choice nod in the wide open derby so I could purchase it. But I did snag Circle of the Sun by patrickspens.
Hey all! I still have 2 in the fog with a day left of voting. If you haven’t checked them out yet, please have a look. Stiff competition this time around, so thanks again!
@taternuggets On the print file, can you make the stems on the oranges the green of the blank? Needs more contrast there. The same issue exists where the M overlaps the glass, but I don’t have a quick solution for that (unless you outline that portion or something).
For the sake of record-keeping, I’ll just leave this here. Thanks for helping out everyone. Last time, I missed 3rd by 8 votes. This time I took 1st by only one! THANK YOU!

@narfcake, are you still sticking to your vote and purchase guideline for this derby? SO MANY CATS. Also, look how many cat shirts I made! This should cover me for the year.
Submitted two so far… have a feeling this will be a tough one to get noticed so I might leave it as these two (though I have an endless amount of cat ideas!;))
Thanks for any help! https://shirt.woot.com/derby/entry/107681/cat-boost
@sammydog01 Holy Crap. Did you see that Dungeons Nouveau made the list for Worst Seller of the week (2 shirts)? That’s crazy! I would have bought one, but I already have a brown dragon related shirt. I guess everyone who wanted one bought it the day that it was up.
@mfladd Not the worst seller post-debut ever. In #504, the last place design sold zero following its debut and only one person was stupid enough to buy it afterwards.
Also, there’s nothing wrong with wearing catshirts, even if you don’t have a cat. Trust me on that.
@narfcake It’s not cats in general, I promise. It’s just the that cute funny shirts are not my thing to wear. I like them, but I just can’t get into wearing them - I have tried.
@ACraigL Yeah we are all a bunch of snarky, sarcastic, the heck with the rules of society, crazy people…lol. I like tshirts that are…naughty but that I can still wear around my mom and older grandkids(the ones that can read)…good job, this one works for both
Hey amazingly my design has stayed in the fog all week… I don’t want to get my hopes up too high, but in case you missed it - please do give it a vote in case it has a chance! Much thanks! https://shirt.woot.com/derby/entry/107835/must-like-cats
@ACraigL We’ve had three tie for placing before. If it ultimately ends up being four, it’ll be a record.
On a different note, I’ve noticed that these past two weeks, they’ve been spotlighting the editor’s choices on Monday. I feel that’s actually been helpful in getting some additional sales.
@mfladd I never tried anything other than brown because it just was so in my mind. But here it is on royal blue. Works just as well. Maybe better. Where were you when I needed you?
The good news is will be able to go on any color. I’ll offer options to woot if it prints.
@ACraigL OMG…you offer that blue and you have a sale (and it is better - more summery)! Thanks
P.s. I am always here and available for design assistance
@narfcake That’s great! Thanks. Got mine too. I’m regularly impressed with the prints lately. They really have seemed too made all the necessary improvements.
@sammydog01 I’ll agree they still sometimes can’t get placement right and seem to err on filling up the shirt as much as possible. I asked them to reduce the size of my Simple Reminder design as soon as it went on sale.
Regarding the stickiness… I haven’t found that to be the case, and the one above should have room to breathe. When they first went DTG, it was super-tacky and heavy handed. Maybe you got that one then? @narfake, what’s your experience with this? Any?
@ACraigL My new ones seem tacky too. In ways other than the designs.
Here is my complaint about the sizing- I admit it’s mostly my fault because I order different size shirts depending on how fat I’m feeling on a particular day, but here is one shirt:
The print is so big you can’t see the whole thing when I’m wearing it. Here’s another:
You can hardly see the rubber ducky.
@therealjrn Thanks for that! Despite only selling a handful of them, this is actually one of my favorites that I’ve done. I’ve worn it several times now as well. Appreciate the comment!
@mfladd Qwertee uses Gildan 64000 (aka Softstyle) blanks. It’s the same cut that was inflicted onto Anvil back in 2014 after they were purchased by Gildan. They start off shorter and will shrink up even shorter.
If you’re okay with the mutant Anvils from the last few years at shirt.woot, then you’ll be fine. If you despise them like some folks do (coughcough), then I would suggest passing.
Hey all, I was on a trip last week, super busy now and not sure if I’ll get around to this derby, but in case you missed it I did get a double daily design last week (which I completely missed that day! ) - check it out! https://shirt.woot.com/offers/i-prefer-dogs-or-cats

@ACraigL @mfladd Ah… nope haven’t seen it. Don’t get time to watch many movies these days but will keep it in mind when I get a chance!
@ACraigL gotcha!
@ACraigL Got it. And for once I got the reference.
@jasneko @mfladd These days?!? It’s from 1983, haha.
@ACraigL
@ACraigL @mfladd haha well I most definitely wasn’t watching movies in 1983
@ACraigL @jasneko
@ACraigL this design is so amazing . Love it

A lot of the shirts on wOOt are not ones that I would wear. But I would where your shirt in a second. I love the quote. I do also really like “Circle of the Sun” one. I would buy that too. I didn’t look at the artist though.
@jasneko @mfladd Popularity contest. That’s why I don’t feel bad about voting for my friends. Maybe it will get an editor’s choice? Is that a thing?
@jasneko @mfladd @sammydog01 It’s becoming more of a thing, lately. They seem to be cherry-picking the derbies for dailies. Today is another example of that. And they’re picks have not necessarily translated to large sale days.
@ACraigL @jasneko @mfladd I see “dogpile” made it- very few votes so they must have picked it. I guess I should go buy one to show solidarity. So many puns and mash-ups. That’s what people vote for, but is that what people buy?

Can I still buy @jasneko’s shirt even if it doesn’t place in the derby?
@jasneko @mfladd @sammydog01 That’s up to her. She hasn’t been offering the artwork because the group sales have been performing so poorly. It would likely get an honorable mention, if she did though.
FYI, the previous thread has been locked and a link has been added to its top post.
@narfcake Super! Thanks.
Missed placing in the dog derby by 8 votes.
But probably wouldn’t have been that close without you guys, so thanks for the help!
@ACraigL Aww shucks, I know the feeling - and it was a well done design. You had my vote!

@ACraigL @narfcake @sammydog01 @transformingegg
Yup, I have to decided to get it for my nephew who will appreciate it, if it gets sold.
@mfladd Not the worst seller post-debut ever. In #504, the last place design sold zero following its debut and only one person was stupid enough to buy it afterwards.
Also, there’s nothing wrong with wearing catshirts, even if you don’t have a cat. Trust me on that.
@narfcake It’s not cats in general, I promise. It’s just the that cute funny shirts are not my thing to wear. I like them, but I just can’t get into wearing them - I have tried.
@mfladd I bought that shirt before I noticed all the geek gaming stuff I don’t understand. The dragon is cool enough to make up for it.

On a different note, I’ve noticed that these past two weeks, they’ve been spotlighting the editor’s choices on Monday. I feel that’s actually been helpful in getting some additional sales.
(Also one less contracted design on Woot’s side.)
@ACraigL Holy moly! Where did he post that? Gosh…
The summer derby is up! And I have three entries this week. As always, thanks for any help! I appreciate it!

@ACraigL Got them! Found one by @jasneko too.
@jasneko @sammydog01 I got her’s too. She just hasn’t posted here yet.
@ACraigL done!
@mehbee
@ACraigL I would absolutely wear the second shirt (Emerson).
@mfladd that’s awesome. I had planned on using the entire quote but it was just too wordy. But i think it appeals either way. Thanks for saying so!
@ACraigL I just wish it wasn’t on brown. I know it works great on brown, but every shirt from wOOt I like is on brown it seems.
@mfladd I never tried anything other than brown because it just was so in my mind. But here it is on royal blue. Works just as well. Maybe better. Where were you when I needed you?
The good news is will be able to go on any color. I’ll offer options to woot if it prints.
@ACraigL OMG…you offer that blue and you have a sale (and it is better - more summery)! Thanks
P.s. I am always here and available for design assistance
@mfladd I will suggest it! I can’t change the derby entry though.
Entered one so far! Thanks for any help!

@jasneko gotcha
@jasneko @kevlar51 Voted!
@jasneko I love your simple little cats.
@sammydog01 awww thanks sammy!
Me too, Me too! https://shirt.woot.com/derby/entry/107881/tastes-like-chicken
@taternuggets Even though you stole my title from the cat derby, I’ll vote for you.
@ACraigL You capitalized the L and the C… this is nothing like that.
Thanks!
@taternuggets fAIR pOINT.
@taternuggets
I get this one. I think
@Ignorant I think this is the first time you’ve ever said that.
@Ignorant @narfcake it absolutely is. better than winning the derby… almost
@narfcake @taternuggets I looked at it again, I don’t get it.
@Ignorant I GET IT TOO!
@Ignorant @narfcake dont know why you have to ruin it.
Entered another one, thanks again!

@jasneko I hope he doesn’t singe his bunny fur.
@jasneko voted. More bunnies every time I look.
@sammydog01 Yeah, BBQ bunny would not be good … unless you’re a @fablefire fox:

@narfcake That’s great! Thanks. Got mine too. I’m regularly impressed with the prints lately. They really have seemed too made all the necessary improvements.
@ACraigL @narfcake Can I bitch for a minute? They seem sticky- especially against my seatbelt. I spend a lot of time driving around.
@narfcake @sammydog01 Which shirts? Are they particularly ink heavy? I try to take that into account when I create a design.
@ACraigL Today it was this one:

Missing Pizza
Price: $19.00
Condition: Probably New
I have also noticed when I buy a larger size shirt the design becomes huge. And the design is tiny on ladies shirts.
@sammydog01 I’ll agree they still sometimes can’t get placement right and seem to err on filling up the shirt as much as possible. I asked them to reduce the size of my Simple Reminder design as soon as it went on sale.
Regarding the stickiness… I haven’t found that to be the case, and the one above should have room to breathe. When they first went DTG, it was super-tacky and heavy handed. Maybe you got that one then? @narfake, what’s your experience with this? Any?
@ACraigL My new ones seem tacky too. In ways other than the designs.
Here is my complaint about the sizing- I admit it’s mostly my fault because I order different size shirts depending on how fat I’m feeling on a particular day, but here is one shirt:
The print is so big you can’t see the whole thing when I’m wearing it. Here’s another:
You can hardly see the rubber ducky.

I've had this for a couple of rotations now. I'm pleasantly surprised at how many people (and folk) recognize Pony Boy and the reference.
@therealjrn Thanks for that! Despite only selling a handful of them, this is actually one of my favorites that I’ve done. I’ve worn it several times now as well. Appreciate the comment!
A-Hole printed in the (featured) side-sale today! Woo!
https://shirt.woot.com/offers/a-hole-approaching-1
@ACraigL Yay! I knew it would print somewhere. I see a familiar looking kitty there too. Is there a place I can find who actually won?
@sammydog01 Shirts from Fri, Sat Sun:

Look at the last 3 under “bystanders”, top right.
Looks like it’s also the featured shirt in the app! That should help sales too!
Ha! They featured A-Hole in the weekly mailer. Love it.
I have 3 in the fog and one day left of voting. Fingers crossed and thanks to those that voted already.
@ACraigL
I love this design. (Sorry, not derby related.)

@mfladd “Mad” designs are a thing. There’s more than a few on woot alone.
@narfcake How do Qwertee tees run? If I take a M fitted woot.shirt, what would I order? I prefer a fitted fit.
@ACraigL You might want to think about a Part III for this thread. Getting a little long.
@mfladd Well, you’re just adding to the problem, aren’t you.
Makes sense. Next one or two for sure.
@mfladd Qwertee uses Gildan 64000 (aka Softstyle) blanks. It’s the same cut that was inflicted onto Anvil back in 2014 after they were purchased by Gildan. They start off shorter and will shrink up even shorter.
If you’re okay with the mutant Anvils from the last few years at shirt.woot, then you’ll be fine. If you despise them like some folks do (cough cough), then I would suggest passing.
@narfcake Thanks. Are the mutant anvil’s at shirt.woot the fitted ones?
@mfladd Nope. They were the standard offering up until January of this year. The fitted option are Bella+Canvas blanks.
This is a (mutant) Anvil versus the subsequent (now current) Port & Company offering for the classic option:
ETA: Embedded pic. Both are washed/dried men’s large.
Dinosaur Derby! Fun! Here’s my collaboration with fellow artist, simic. Thanks guys!

@ACraigL But you’re very welcome!
BTW–thanks for what?
@ACraigL Got it.
@therealjrn You know – looking, voting, being generally awesome. Meh stuff.
@mehbee
@ACraigL Voted…and my A hole shirt came today…woo hoo…my reply all shirt should be here tomorrow.
@ACraigL I want to buy Live in the Sunshine shirt, but the only option is still Brown
p.s. that farmers tan loading shirt is quire funny
@mfladd I gave them the option, but they didn’t take it. Sorry, I tried!
Farmer’s Tan did the best in the derby, so others think so too! Thanks.
Hey all, I was on a trip last week, super busy now and not sure if I’ll get around to this derby, but in case you missed it I did get a double daily design last week (which I completely missed that day!
) - check it out!
