@asmonet let’s make em do it! let’s make em do it! <shakes hands a la homer simpson>

That’s a big 10–4 on that one. Great idea :D

that would be very cool

Love love love it. We have some very talented artists!

Who’s people do we have talk with who’s people to get this happening? Seriously, i think this would be awesome! It evokes the whole idea of the Fluther, to a great degree. A site where shirts are designed and voted on by the masses working with a site where ideas and questions are discussed by the masses.

it’s like, uhm, Ham and Cheese. or Bonnie and Clyde. uhm, Me and Marisa Miller. ??

I just posted a similar question on Threadless’ facebook page, fyi.

I think I would like it a whole lot more if it was actually designed by a fellow jelly. Don’t think I would care to have Dr. J redesigned with a bunch of those ubiquitous paint drips. They seem a bit overzealous with their Photoshop brushes. Or maybe they could ask certain artists whose work they admire to do a limited edition artist collaboration? I’d buy one in a heartbeat if PupnTaco designed one!

Nimis's avatar

Or a handrawn one by Pete!
Or a crazy thing thrown together by Uber!

I’d be all for it if the designs came from fellow Fluthers.

If that were the case, I’d be all over it like white on rice.

El_Cadejo's avatar

@Nimis i thought that was the idea? have us try and design it? (maybe i misunderstood it)

if i designed it, there would be unicorns in there somewhere :P

Nimis's avatar

If it was put up on Threadless, it would be open to all registered Threadless users.
While registering is easy and everyone here could easily register,
I think their numbers would easily overwhelm ours.

I think we’d end up with a clever winner regardless,
but not necessarily one that encompasses the feel of this site.
I was kind of banking on that. :P

Might be a good marketing strategy though.
Advertising for the site in a roundabout way, I suppose.
But I probably wouldn’t buy it.

Bri_L's avatar

I think it would be more enjoyable for us to do a bunch of designs.

Allie's avatar

Can someone add a pink-ish jelly in the mix somewhere? That’d be me. =]

PupnTaco's avatar

Do I get a percentage of the sales?

If it were a type tee, then count me in!

eponymoushipster's avatar

@Foolaholic i envision a type tee/graphic hybrid. blue, pink, seafoam green.

Foolaholic's avatar

@eponymoushipster

I love seafoam green, so many possibilities. Anyway, a type tee would have to be something involving lurve, like;

“I lurve you”
“All you need is lurve
ect…

orrrr following in cprevite’s awesome suggestion…“like a hooker that does your taxes”

eponymoushipster's avatar

@uberbatman my favorite kind of hooker.

Vinifera7's avatar

I <3 Threadless. That would be golden!

funkdaddy's avatar

I want a frizzer t-shirt… preferably with the whole question on it…

I’d wear it, I’d laugh.

augustlan's avatar

Threadless lurves Fluther!
I love Threadless!

eponymoushipster's avatar

@augustlan i love threadless – i won a $50 gift cert yesterday! w00t!

augustlan's avatar

<< Jealous jelly.

eponymoushipster's avatar

@augustlan no, you can do it too! Thursdays on Facebook they do a giveaway video every hour, starting 12pm CST. become a fan on facebook, they pick fans at random, and they often pick people from the comments on the previous video (that’s how I won).

it’s really fun, and the videos are pretty crazy.

augustlan's avatar

Thanks for the info. I receive their weekly emails, and would love to design a shirt…but I lack the necessary skills :(

90s_kid's avatar

$20 for a shirt is too expensive, sorry.
Anyone else get the impression that when people say “I lurve you”, it sounds like “I love you”, but like, in a mid-mass accent?

eponymoushipster's avatar

@90s_kid i think more drunken party girl when i hear “lurve”. but a lot of those population mid-massachusetts. wicked!

asmonet's avatar

Well, one could always wait for the Threadless clearance weekends, ten dollar tees.

I have 52 Threadless tees.
No lie.

And I would consider making the Fluther one number 53. I’d consider the fuck out of it.

eponymoushipster's avatar

@asmonet i high five you and lurve you for the 52. one a week!

btw, did you hear what they did yesterday? They’d announce a “community coupon” on their Twitter, and the faster you input it, the more discount you got on checkout. the last coupon was $200!!

i was working, but i saw the tweets. i think it’s gonna be a somewhat regular thing on Fridays now. like the contest on facebook on won on thursday w00p!

asmonet's avatar

I blocked Threadless.
I spent over $600 there.

It’s a self-imposed sentence.

Please, don’t tempt me.

You’re already pushing it. :’(

eponymoushipster's avatar

@asmonet but free is good. you blocked them? wow.

asmonet's avatar

YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND.
I have a problem!
/cry

eponymoushipster's avatar

@asmonet i’m an enabler, sorry. here, try some crack instead.
/pats on the back.

asmonet's avatar

I just need one more bump tee!

eponymoushipster's avatar

@asmonet what if i told you i’m wearing one right now?! yeah, this one. And i bought it AT the threadless store in Chicago, when i used to live there.

oh, and i have a reusable threadless bag, which they give you when you buy there. and when you go back with it, it’s a coupon. you get a discount every time.

i lurve threadless!

asmonet's avatar

I might have to commit crimes of a deviant nature against you.
Fair warning.

Word.

eponymoushipster's avatar

<—- tingles with anticipation.

hungryhungryhortence's avatar

I’d be in it to win it. Want me one in Brown with long Black sleeves or Black with long Brown sleeve in girlie XS. How about a pair of Converse with a small Green Jelly stitched on them? I’d go for a pair of those. Or… imagine a knickers with the Jelly logo on the crotch instead of the days of the week or little cherries, that would scare a few people.
