It’s nearly time for the Superbowl, so Shirt.Woot‘s Sports! themed derby is interestingly timed. I’m expecting to see a lot of football references, but since the winners won’t be sold until a week from now that might not be the smartest move. Woot suggests Olympic themes in their post:
No matter your opinion on professional sports, we can all agree that THE SEAHAWKS ARE NUMBER ONE BABY WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YEAH LET’S GO HAWKS #BEASTMODE #SKITTLES. Whoa, sorry about that — we have no idea what came over us. We’re not even that into the Seahawks but we seem to have been swept up in the competitive zeitgeist (real football fans call it a ‘competitive zeitgeist’).
Whether you bleed [team] [team color] or think sports are the dumbest human enterprise imaginable, we want to see your take on competitive gamery. Remember: These designs will be too late for the Uberbowl, but the Sochi games are fast approaching… (There are other Olympic sports besides curling!)
No crème tees
No text-only shirts (must include some graphic element)
The derby opens to submissions at noon on Friday, with submissions continuing until Wednesday at noon. Voting is on-going from Friday at noon until Thursday at noon. Three winners will be printed the following weekend (as chosen by voters), with the printed designers earning $1000 for the first night of sales and a potential $2 per shirt sold on any sales after that date.
