struggledtosurvive Threadless Pick: Struggled to Survive



You know what? I’m not all that impressed by this weeks new designs from Threadless. Yeah, some of the ideas are pretty clever (’Pure Imagination‘ in particular), but I’m just not so sure about the execution. I guess after I had been impressed by the past few weeks of updates I’ve come to expect too much from them, and maybe these new designs are just being over-shadowed by the excellent choices made for this weeks reprints: Bad Teddy (available as a hoodie), Doin My Best, Funkalicious, Calling Home, Blow With the Wind (available as a hoodie) and MP(3) (also available as a hoodie).

But I don’t want to be too down on this weeks releases, my Threadless pick o’ the week is really cool, a nice colour palette, a clever bit of design, and yes, boobs (a first for Threadless, apparently). The little drawn boobs aren’t really an issue for me, possibly because I’ve just been to Japan, a place where a store for naked anime-style dolls is also a shop for digital cameras. My first reaction to this tee was “hey, that’s pretty clever”, and it is, but now that I look at it a bit more it’s actually pretty disturbing, with the ropes and the distressed facial expression, but that was probably the aim of the designer, so, well done to them.

Also, they’re selling their tees for $10 until March 12th, and yes, I know every blog in the world ever has already told you that, even the ones that never mention clothes (but do love street team points), but it would be a bit rude not to mention it in the weekly Threadless post.
