CONTEST!!! Help design the new Wackbag.com T-Shirt!!! - The Unofficial Opie and Anthony Message Board

***zagman76*** · 03-03-2007, 03:41 PM

Have you been looking at the current wackbag.com t-shirt, and thought to yourself "Hmm... it's nice and all, but I have one, and it's almost 2 years old already. I wish they'd make a new one"

Or, have you thought to yourself, "I really HATE 'Pat Battle' mode, and wish they wouldn't use it anymore!!!"

Well - here is your chance!

We have decided to try and kill two birds with one stone, and we need your help! We would like to enlist all the creative people on the board to brain storm, and come up with a new t-shirt design.

Here are the details:

The shirt MUST say Wackbag.com on it (preferably in the current style, but is not restricted to that)
There has to be a giiiiirl's version (or a girls-only design)
We CAN NOT use 'WOW' or 'Opie and Anthony' on the shirt (however, you can get around that if you are creative enough)
The design can be text or images, or a combination
BE CREATIVE!!! There are a lot of funny & talented people on this site, and I know you can do it!
Submit as many entries as you'd like!
All decisions will be made by the board staff, and will be final.

E-mail All submissions to me at: t-shirts@wackbag.com. You must include your board-name in the e-mail (so I can track who has entered and how many times). If you wish to remain anonymous as far as the contest goes, just let me know, and I won't post who you are. Submissions posted in this thread will not be considered, and you will also be required to put your hand in a mouse trap

The money raised in sales of the shirts is going to pay for the new server we are getting

- which should cut back drastically on how often we need to go into Pat Battle mode (Hopefully eliminate the need for it at all!!!), and generally speed things up for everyone a bit.

Ideally, we would like to launch the new shirt(s) by April 15th - the 2 year anniversary of when the last shirt was launched. That means we'd like to have all entries in by April 1st. I am still working on possibly getting some prizes together, but at the very least if I can't - whomever wins the contest, I will personally buy you a shirt of your choice.

Thanks, and good luck bro!!

Is there a color restriction for printing purposes?

***zagman76*** · 03-03-2007, 05:04 PM

Well - the simpler the better (dont want shirts to have to sell for $30 just to break-even!), but if something is really amazing, we can work something out - like a "limited edition" version or something.

Can the shirt be in relation to a bit from the show?
As far as the wackbag.com goes, is it required for it to be on the front, or can it be on the back?

It can be in relation to a bit from the show!

As far as having wackbag.com on it... that is the requirement - that the site name is on the shirt. I am leaving it up to you (collectively) to come up with something creative.

For the back, there will be a design that looks like a post it note that say, "Gay Police".

for the sake of getting the Wackbag logo right, is there a hi-res version of it one could download to use?

RobeSoup&Tears · 03-04-2007, 03:12 PM

Cool thread Zag...BRB

Not that I know of. I just went thru the thread that contained the origional
design ideas in it. Unfortunately that was a few years ago and the people
that did the artwork are no longer around. All of the images that were
being discussed and eventually used are all dead links now.

This is true.. I did however, try to isolate the logo... it may or may not help - but here you go:

***zagman76*** · 03-04-2007, 04:29 PM

here are a couple more. I just took them from the existing logo/shirt

If you want these 2 in PSD format - PM me your e-mail address, and I'll send them.

***zagman76*** · 03-04-2007, 04:35 PM

I won contest over, everyone go home now!

Fruit Monkey · 03-05-2007, 07:19 PM

wow they took me serious?

RobeSoup&Tears · 03-05-2007, 07:49 PM

For what it’s worth the quality of the T-Shirt is just as important as the design.

American Apparel for example has some really good quality shirts.
This might increase the price of the shirt but they’re worth it.
Here's a link for ordering

I understand that this is Wackbag and that American Apparel may seem too fitted so another maker is Fruit of The Loom Heavy The Orange 2006 O&A Halloween Party shirts were printed on these.

But it seems the standard (which I’m not too thrilled about) is Gildan…these are used in mostly all of the other O&A related shirts…and yes, I know this is for Wackbag.com and it shouldn’t have their names on it.
Gildan Shirts Info.

Back Prints and/or sleeve prints are always more gooder.

Hopefully we will be able to use the same base-stock that was used on the 1st shirt - which was good quality (mine still feel brand-new after 2 years). We were also able to sell the shirts pretty inexpensively then as well.

Yeah, I've worn mine alot in the years I've owned it and it still looks great.

( I never did get that ultra-exclusive "staff" shirt though...

)

Cool either way...my Wackbag shirts are still holding strong.

You think that maybe we'd be able to add our handles on it (like on the back) or is that kind of customization not available?

We won't be offering it, but like the old shirts - feel free to mod it yourself. Some people had done that.

i'd love to see some of the ones that people aren't actually entering in...

this is more of a pain in the ass to make than I thought it would be...

heh - why do you think I opened it up to the whole board?

I figured the thousands of people here could come up with something better than I could.

Once the deadline is reached, I just might post all the entries.

highway23 · 03-05-2007, 08:40 PM

do you discourage posting of throw outs?
