They have so many, like some don’t like others.
I agree. I don't like all of them, but I do like some of them. You can't please everyone with every design
I like some of their new type tees (like the "if you can read this, make me a sandwich"), and I like some of their 12 club tees (like the green "hug me" t-shirt). But you can't love 'em all
Re: do you like the designs that win at threadless?
Mostly no. They still put out good stuff from time to time though. And my two favourite designs are from the era I would consider "New Threadless". So not entirely no by any means.
I thought their old stuff was much better, 'till I actually looked over some of my old favourites again recently. Their old stuff was more like the kind of thing I like, but their new stuff is often better executed (it's just often in a style I hate like 80s retro, etc.).
Re: do you like the designs that win at threadless?
true... i dig the artistic stuff more than the funny quips. i do think the way they do things is brilliant from a business standpoint. sadly my two favorites are the one that was ripped off from the graphiti artist and the one with the fishing tree. which some had said may had been a rip off, but i dont see any copyright info on the trees in my yard.
i would be interested to know which of then are your favorites... i dont really care what you hate because i may hate what you love and the opposite will probably be true as well

You mean Predicament? I believe it's still the highest rating Threadless submission of all time.
The tree is ripped (it's a copyright violation), the fisherman is clipart (probably legal), and I believe the fish is clipart too. A lot of people also consider the idea to be stolen too (the collager who put together the submission describes it as "Holland-esce" [sic]... other people think it's a straight rip-off).
At best it contains an illegal element wrapped in an unoriginal uncreative submission. At worst it's out and out plagiarism and never should have been printed.
(I rated it highly at the time, but in retrospect I don't know what the hell I was thinking)
Re: do you like the designs that win at threadless?
most of them are fantastic i think..
but i acutally DONT like the new text ones unless theyre extremely funny and witty...because i judge t-shirts almost completely by the visual appeal of the graphic...
but right now a lot of the graphic tees are in that psychedlic art style, its really vibrant and almost whimsical lol..
Re: do you like the designs that win at threadless?
I think they've been levelling out a bit lately. More "something for everyone" than they've been, and less of those "what were they THINKING?!" submissions than there were a few months ago.
This is a discussion about do you like the designs that win at threadless? that was posted in the General T-Shirt Buying Discussion section of the forums.
