So long as Threadless keeps printing great new designs, reprinting old (so-called limited edition) designs and hosting $10 sales, the chances of turning up to work/pub/party wearing the same shirt as your other 'net-savvy friends is only going to increase. Enter Threadr, Threadless vs. Flickr, an online app which powers a wardrobe mounted display, showing you which Threadless T-shirts your peers are wearing today.
Meh... nothing is any good if other people like it.
I don’t understand this whole design contest, ok, you win money, but you can as well design a t-shirt by yourself and let others to buy it and earn money this way . Why not use http://www.spreadshirt.com ? They offer extremely easy to use designer program that will just knock you off your feet – just combine it with extremely high quality of products and you can have the t-shirt you ever wanted in a matter of minutes. You can open your shop for free and sell your designs to others, they take care of everything – you receive your checks. It’s extremely easy, check it out.

Threadless has a community of designers making t-shirts, giving feedback, raising each other’s game and - hey - having fun too.That some of those T-shirts go on to be sold is a bonus for the designers, but I doubt it’s why most of them are there. I bet they all buy T-shirts from Threadless anyway.Great products, great site design, fun experience, participation, community… if you’re only there to win the design competition, you missed the point.If, however, you have a particular design that you simply must sell yourself, then spreadshirt looks fun. I would bet that Threadless will have better designs though, since I didn’t spot a community/collaboration/feedback section at spreadshirt. Might have missed it though. Thanks anyway for the (almost) spam!
