Slashdot T-Shirt Contest Winners!

Posted by CmdrTaco on Monday August 4, 2003 @06:20AM from the best-of-the-best dept.

We had 331 entries in the Slashdot T-Shirt Design Contest, and at long last, I'm pleased to announce that our winners are Scott Lewallen, Chris Hoover, and Jude Hansen. There were tons of great entries... and we've made the 3 winning designs, as well as 9 of my favorites available for your perusal. Congrats to the winners, and thanks to everyone who entered the contest! The shirts themselves will be made available at ThinkGeek in the next few weeks.

Nearly all of them are designs to be put on black t-shirts... Probably because black doesn't show pit/food stains as easily and can be reworn for months on end without washing.

  But you forget, a black shirt easily shows up dandruff.
  
  The solution is a kind of mottled charcoal/grey shirt.

  While we're at it, can we manufacture the shirts so that deoderant is somehow embedded in the fabric so that they'll take effect when being worn (by smelly, non-showering nerds)?

  Only with geek wearing Slashdot shirts does the issue of a well designed solution (embedded deoderant) go up against a hacked (duct tape) one. :P

  The hack won't work for purely socialogical reasons. It makes the faulty assumption that Geekus malodorous would acknowledge a problem in the first place. So it's better to just make all geek t-shirts self-deodorizing.

Dude, the image of all those /.'ers out there in wet tshirts, all of whom could use the "bro" or the "manssiere" just about made me lose my lunch.

Proofreading? by NetDrain · 2003-08-04 06:39 · Score: 5, Informative

Not to be too much of a grammar nazi, but I do hope that the apostrophe error on Chris Hil's middle t-shirt is corrected before these shirts get printed -- I'd hate to have people think that no one on slashdot has good grammar *coughcough* (Oh, the irony.)

Ok, how many of you actually looked up the "If you can read this, you belong here" T-shirt to confirm that it actually said "Slashdot.org"??? If you did, then you DEFINATELY belong here!

Re:multiple entries? by CTate · 2003-08-04 08:23 · Score: 5, Informative

Indeed:

4. Number of Entries Deemed Eligible. You may enter only one Entry for the entire Contest Period.

I know people who had multiple (IMO good) t-shirt ideas but only submitted one because of this rule. And yet Chris Hil has three different shirts out of the nine runners-up?
