I’m actually spending the vast majority of this week outside (gasp!) redoing the patio outside our house. I’m trying hard to keep up the posting schedule, but I’ve got to let the quality slip a bit. So, with that in mind, here’s a very lazy quote-post.

Press release first, my thoughts second:

It’s back - the XLarge Design Contest - your chance to gain immortality within the echelons of designers like Angela Johnson, G. Dan Covert, Billy Valdez, Rory Wilson and the winner last time, Winston Acosta.

GET STARTED! Check out the contest entry page and use the design templates to create your own original design. Post them up using the form. On June 30th, 2008 we’ll review the submissions and announce a winner. Entries will be judged on originality and sauce.

The grand prize winner will see his or her print make it into production for our Spring 09 season. They will receive a bunch of shirts and a $100 Gift Cerfiticate to the XLarge.com website. Three runners up will receive $25 Gift Certificates to the website and due props for nearly making it.

You can enter as often as you like. Don’t forget to read the rules before you enter.

Good luck!

Is it just me, or does that prize seem more than a little stingy to you? Considering that XLarge aren’t exactly a small operation, just look at the amount of stores they have, and that list doesn’t include other retails locations they’re stocked in. I guess that being able to say that you’ve designed a tee for XLarge would look good in a portfolio simply because they’re a respected name, but considering this tee is going to be in their Spring 09 collection I’d expect the prize to include something you could pay the bills with too.

I’ve got a review coming up of an XLarge hoody that I bought in Hong Kong (yes, I actually bought something), but just to whet your appetite here’s news of a coupon code and sale from XLarge’s mailout:

Head to the site now and pick up anything there for 15% off the normal retail price - if you use the coupon code in the Archives section - that’s 50% off! (Everything in the Archives is already listed at 35% off - check it).

Don’t delay - the sale won’t last long. Use Coupon Code “spring2008” and pick something up for a friend too.

Cheers,

Your friends at XLarge.com

And yes, this is still what constitutes me ‘not blogging’ for a weekend!

I haven’t mentioned XLarge for a while, but they dropped some fresh gear last week that just begged to be mentioned. I know it incorporates their logo and some people aren’t down with that, but its kind of what XLarge do, and I feel compelled to respect the audacity of a company that puts a crown on top of their own logo. It’s a nice looking, chunky, faux-camouflage too, but its pretty much begging for gold foil behind the camo.
