Derby 49 Loser Awards

Derby 49's theme was "Independence". In addition, only red, white, and royal blue shirts are allowed and only a single color ink -- as well as the now all-but-standard "no text" rule. The limited color shirts at the same time as a single color ink limitation seemed to make most of the entries a little dull and repetitive. Many of the ones you and I liked were able to move beyond this with the use of a bold ink color and simple lines. As usual, click on the thumbnail to see the full-size shirt and comments on Shirt.Woot.

The "Unleashed" Award
You can count on TGentry for both crowd-pleasing and artistic shirts. This one probably falls a little more in the 2nd camp with not nearly as many votes as he usually gets. He did an excellent job making up for the limited pallet with extra shading to suggest lighting from the right side.

Honorable Mentions
Here's the rest of the ones you and I liked. Great work from many new artists this week.


Everyone mentioned today will be getting one of these in their entry comments and their ShirtDerbyStats' badge list.

If you'd like your favorite shirt to show up here next week, send in your nominations by mid-Tuesday. Give me some reasons why it is the greatest thing Woot will ever see and I'll include the best ones. Longer entries are more likely to make it outside the Honorable Mention section just for formatting reasons. Please include a link to the derby entry.
