Shirt 2!

Is there any chance I can submit a design for a future shirt?

Amy B says:

My favorite is shirt #2.

But please let there be female sizes and I'm sold.

Shirt 2: "VIDEO GAMES" (designed by Chris)

Glad to see a shirt that doesn't have to fit the mold of everything being in the middle! And I must admit, it does look good in green too. Although, where is the advertisement for the site on the shirt?

Miles says:

I think the "VIDEO GAMES" one would be basically perfect if VIDEO GAMES was actually in quotes on the shirt.

Shirt 2: VIDEO GAMES

I really like this one. I would definitly wear it to school. Great job on the design.

Chris says:

I decided not to put any ads for the site on the shirt. I just wanted to have some cool shirts. THough they will probably end up with a url on the back or sleeve.

Number 2. It doesn't have centered text, has a generically confusing slogan that doesn't really mean anything, and its green!

KurtMcAllister says:

Number 2 by far. I love the off-centeredness of it, and a shirt that isn't black is welcome in my closet.

I like shirt number 1! For some reason the fonts don't sit right with me on the other two. So yes, I assume that I will be ridiculously outvoted judging by the comments so far, but so it shall be!

Zac says:

I like "Huzzah".

Shirt 1. I want it to be so obscure that people just give me weird looks.

Andreas says:

I really like Shirt 1, Huzzah.

Shirt 3, but it needs 3 hearts!

Giania says:

In order of preference:

2 - Better general shirt, doesn't require "blog loyalty" to rock it. The combination of the doodle-like star and the pixelated text is visually appealing. Plus I really like mint green. Wrap-around design also sets it apart as unique, instead of the relatively standard "here is a shirt with a thing in the center of the front".

3 - Most relevant to the site. I also love blocky outline fonts and the hearts. It calls to mind a variety of classic games, and retro computing on the whole.

1 - Neat, but kind of plain. Black tee shirts are pretty popular, but also kind of boring. Also doesn't really seem to relate to the site that closely.

Design #2 is the clear winner here.

Shirt #2: Video Games

There is much to love about Shirt #2. The font. The placement of the design. The bouncing star. The unadorned plural noun, which suggests how funny it would be to see t-shirts that say MOVIES or RADIO or TELEVISION. Yes.

Good news everyone! I vote for shirt number one! Huzzah!

Annie F says:

Shirt 2. The bouncy star's really cute. =)

Annie F says:

I already voted, but I forgot to say that I'd totally <3 you guys if you made this shirt available in smaller guys as well for us smaller folk! Too many times I've not bought a t-shirt I really liked because it went down to my knees. =(

Shirt 1. Love the Huzzah! Reminds me of when I went to Philadelphia and took the historical drinking tour and they had us say Huzzah before every drink.

Tanya Spence says:

Shirt 1.

Lorenzo says:

I dig black t-shirts, myself, but I like the video games logo. A combination of the two would be nice.

That said, I'll have to go with Shirt 1. Huzzah.

Shirt #2 rocks it down to Chinatown. I'd buy one.

Joe 100517 says:

I too am going to go with big green number 2. The star reminds me of Mario and I think it'd look even sweeter with a Weekly Geek logo to spice up the back.

Peeple says:

Video Games, but it should read, "Vidya Games" instead.

2 looks the best as just a shirt but 3 actually advertises the show and still has the geeky video game feel

Jay Section says:

shirt 2 FTW!

I love me some Video Games.

Jinny says:

If I vote for design #1, does my vote count? Pretty please? Also, I got a confirmation on the shirt sizes (S, M, L, XL, XXL). Hooray for smaller sizes!

Shirt #2

I think I like this one because it looks extreemly similar to a pice of art that is currently in my office. I hear it is an original from a famous art like person who seems to have also designed a shrit. I also like colored shirts and seem to be running a little low on green ones.
