One brand that it would have been nice to see in Berlin at T-Shirt Day (since it’s where they hail from) is
Allmightys. They seem to have been a bit quiet recently which is unfortunate because when they release tees you can usually expect them to be of a very high standard, so I wish they’d release them more often!
The four tees above were all winners in their recent ‘Underwater’ themed contest. In the future Allmightys are switching from the themed competitions to a more straight-forward standard design competition that will be an open call for designs. For me this takes away part of what makes Allmightys special, I can understand why it has been done because as soon as you give something a theme you alienate some designers, but the themes were something different from what everyone else was doing (as a main part of their contest). Still, if it produces good designs then I won’t complain again.
When I found out that one of the people who is interning at the same place as me subbed and won at my favourite design competition,
Allmightys, I was a little worried that the tee was going to suck, because that could be awkward, but luckily for me, and Percy I guess, his tee is pretty damn cool. I know nothing of type, as you well know, but I like the concept, it’s been well executed, and I like the simple colorway too.
So, just so you know how to guarantee getting on HYA (not that it’s exactly a path to riches), all you have to do is wait for me to travel across the Atlantic to live in a foreign city for 3 months. Simple!
I’ve put the rest of the winners of the Type-Tastic competition into the gallery below, there’s some beauty’s in there, so be sure to check them out.

Here’s a couple of new design competitions for you to get your teeth into.
Bang Bang T-shirts are running one based around the future. Winner gets £125/local equivalent.
Allmightys latest competition is called ‘Underwater’:
Think of what could happen below sea level, think underwater creatures, sunken ships, submarines, underwater life, underwater colours, myths and legends from the bottom of the ocean, mermaids, sunken treasures, underwater landscapes, huge octopi, seasnakes, big whales and tiny plankton and water, water, water…
Competition Dates:
Competition announced: Monday, 26th January 2009
Submission Deadline: Monday, 16th March 2009, 23.00 GMT
Voting Ends: Friday, 20th March 2009, 23.00 GMT
Allmightys will donate €1.00 to “Save the Whales” charity for every “Underwater”t-shirt sold.
Get involved, submit design and help us save whales!
Allmightys are pretty much my favourite clothing company at the moment, and if that isn’t enough to encourage you to check them out then a blog written by one guy about clothes might not be for you.
From now until, ummm, some time in the future, they’re having their biggest ever sale to celebrate their upcoming 2nd birthday. Tees are available from as low as €10, which I believe is around £76 now, and there’s free postage if you spend €70 or more.
As if I didn’t love them enough already,
Allmightys have gone and created an exclusive account for fans of HYA. If you log in with the username of
hya and password of
teelove you will get
15% off whatever you order. How cool is that?
I’m sure that some of you might be a bit concerned about using the same login since you’ll be putting your credit card information on the site, but your details will not be kept on their server and will not be seen by anyone else using the special HYA login. I haven’t been told about any kind of a time limit on this deal, so I can only presume that it’ll be around for a while, but there’s plenty of great tees in their inventory at the moment, so why not grab a tee or two with the hya login sooner rather than later, or perhaps you could wait until their typetastic competition has run before making an order?
