12 Years is Enough Wait!: LetsRun.com Tshirt Design Contest

Looks like a perfect time for those Eddy Lee t-shirts that LRC demanded a while back:

Wejo, for a second there I thought this thread was referring to how long I have been waiting for the t-shirt I won in the LRC prediction contest circa 2006...

I cannot believe how awful some of these designs are. I mean, it is obvious that many are just a joke, but it looks like some of you have really put time into this. There are about 3 that I wouldn't call hideous.

Some of them look like AFFLICTION or TAPOUT shirts. Are you jersey guidos or something?

This shirt is awesome. Nice work!

How about a plain white T-shirt with the LetsRun logo printed on the pocket in front. Also, throw Flagpole's real man quote on the back.

amazing

I'm still laughing. I think maybe we should print something like this.

I want some shirt ideas with some outrageous running slogans.

All it needs is God and the American flag!

Why does there have to be an outrageous slogan? That will ruin the shirt. Keep it simple with a cool design.

Are you going to be selling these? Do you really think that people are going to buy something dumb like that? Make it cool and you will sell them, people will wear them and it will create buzz. Make it funny and gaudy and you'll sell 15 that won't see the light of day.

This thread is making me laugh so hard. The intensity over t-shirts really trips me out.

That said...I feel the same way. Hate baggy shirts and the neon Nascar/Tapout style as well. Canada is Dry, your design is really cool...I'd buy it. Fam's plain shirt with just the site logo rocks, too. Give it to me in black or navy so I don't stain it.

Don't know about the tri-blend vs. 100% cotton thing, though. 100% synthetic always smells bad faster. Will order that American Apparel blend and see.

Wejo, please make sure the t-shirts are printed on super soft cotton poly blend a la american apparel or homeage.com. Crunchy t-shirts are quickly relegated to the manure management pile.

I think you're also missing a golden opportunity for we, the people and trolls of Letsrun.com, to vote on a shirt of our choosing as well. What could possibly go wrong? But seriously, you should make that happen, just keep your veto power to remove the inevitable pirate cat gun girl photos.

Astute reccomendation: American Apparel, soft and American made.

Thanks man, but I cannot take the credit for the images. Those are Puma/LRC.

The tri-blend is 50% cotton, 25% rayon and 25% polyester. It feels like that really old gym shirt that you had in 1988. It fits well, maintains its shape and still drapes nicely. It doesn't look aggressively tight. Once you have one of them, you really can't wear regular cotton again.

I have one of Fam's shirts and his are more 50%/50%, but still have a very similar feel. I would go with either 50/50 or the tri-blend. Tri-blend gets you that cool "athletic gray" color that reminds you of an old gym shirt.

Are you able to submit as many entries as you want?

I think you can. I have three up there, but only one is serious. Rojo can pull the other two LRC Meme ones down if he wants, I just added them for laughs.

Wejo,

you should seriously just make this one. It's hysterical. I'll buy three.

The good designs are just now starting to come in. They needed time.

I wish I could figure out how to submit one.

Make sure to activate in your email.

Not enough positivity on this thread so far. I am SO. PSYCHED. about these.

Please ship internationally !

Also, whilst the t-shirts will be awesome, you absolutely have to do a singlet.
