Love comment 15:
Dear Threadless,
Your shirts are for white people with no actual senses of humor of their own.
Love,

Good for them. It's a smart move.

Some of the shirts are alright...it's just the overall community that is...
yeah

"Aren't Hipster t-shirts kind of over? Don't get me wrong, the shirts are cool but I can but just as creative and cool tees just about anywhere: from Barney's COOP to Old Navy."
I agree with this comment.

They need a hardcore move back to stuff that made them cool. Man I hate sounding like success is good, but who else misses the older, smaller threadless where people like Prate and others did cool abstract shirts that sold out in a day?
All this illustration type cartoon stuff is just too overblown there. There's some amazing art , maybe 1 out of every 100 shirts submitted really gets you excited but otherwise it's an exercise in tolerance.

damn, Prate made shirts for them? I would've bought that...

The hipster aspect is over. Time for them to invite everyone in, let the idea get absorbed, and ultimately dissolved. A store is great way to do that. The idea is that their customers make shirts, lots of people may be turned on by that who don't run in web circles.

I think so Jaline. In 2002/2003 I bought quite a few and there were cool Prate-esque ones that were always sold out.

Yea, I have a lot of old Threadless shirts that I still wear. I check out the weekly e-mail as well, but I never really see anything that catches my fancy usually.
Whenever they drop the 10 dollar sale I'll check out the site and end up getting a few, heh.
As for their "community", I could never stand to browse it. It was like people writing, "FIRST", whenever a new shirt was made or a new submission from what I remember.
And that was a long time ago, haha.
I wear mostly blank colourful t's or "wittier" shirts from somewhere else, heh.

Graphic t-shirts are great, depending on who made them and what kind of message they have. Slogan-based ones don't do much for me anymore.
Reminds me of those "slut", "sugar", "princess", etc. written-across-the-ass pants.

Haha yea, I have a lot of shirts I pick up ... maybe chuckle at ... then go ... 'Jesus, I'd never wear this why the hell did I buy this?'
- mg330
I'm not for the slogan based stuff at all.
The problem is, and I'll sound like a pompous ass (or Harmony Korine when he says no modern directors understand cinema) but barely anyone that submits shirts understands fashion.
You get the rare shirt once in a while that would look cool under a blazer, and while that practice isn't even cool anymore, you know it would look okay.
Nothing makes you go "wow" and everything makes you go "How cute!" becdause it's too cliche and boring.
And then you're stuck cleaning puke off your keyboard, and you KNOW how big of a pain that is, so SCREW YOU THREADLESS SUBMITTERS THAT DON'T GET THE BIGGER PICTURE!
