Shirt.Woot Derby Thread 2025 (part 2)

@Pony Thank you!

@OnionSoup I tried to find that on Woot but I guess it’s no longer in the catalog. 🫤

@Kyeh I don’t see it either. It’s actually a glow in the dark one. The moon glows and there’s a black cat sleeping on it.

@OnionSoup Huh, I wonder if it’s for sale elsewhere?

@Kyeh found it…

@OnionSoup Oh, nice! Thanks. I searched “cat” and “moon” in his catalog but those didn’t bring it up.

@Kyeh yeah I tried the same and couldn’t find it… So later just looked through my old orders to find it

@OnionSoup That is really nice to hear, thanks for the note!
@Kyeh good sleuthing. Yeah, we don’t have any control over the keywords that woot picks, so glad you were able to find it.

@Kyeh Thanks! You’re right, there are a few shirts for sale, and not for much longer - I’ll try posting them in a bit. Just entered the derby too after skipping last week so was going to post those next!

@Kyeh Thanks, I’ve been wanting to buy some of these, but is there anywhere that is reasonably priced?

@lossstarry Read down a bit, there’s a sale going on right now.

@jasneko voted

@Kidsandliz Thank you!

@jasneko Also voted for all, but I especially like the top one. “Free bird” is clever, too!

@Kyeh Thank you! I appreciate knowing your favorites and feedback as well

@jasneko @Kyeh I tried to vote.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@Kyeh @sammydog01 Ah, for the first time in years I had some design rejections for being off-topic… was surprising but I guess it happens. Only the top one (light blue) is still there, and I just entered another today - thanks!:

@jasneko @sammydog01 Oh, too bad - can you resubmit those designs in a different contest sometime? I did vote for your new one. And - very interesting … for the first time I saw three shirts disqualified because “no Peanuts!” Is that now a thing? Or just for this derby? I’d be so happy if it’s for all contests here on out because it’s gotten to be so lame and automatic for people to do Peanuts shirts.

@Kyeh @sammydog01 Yes I can do that. Was surprising, but it’s ok.
You are correct!! No more Peanuts at all due to takedown requests for all of them - the past shirts should be taken down too. I wondered why there were some strange blank spots in the top 20, and then later I saw the news in an artist forum.

I have been confused all this time anyway at all the use of other people’s characters. When I first joined the derby and for many years it was SO strict about only original artwork (or occasionally allowing parody but it had to be only the suggestion, not an outright copy).

@jasneko @Kyeh @sammydog01 Yeah, things were definitely different back in the earlier years. Besides the editors, the contract was that Woot took exclusive rights to the designs, almost meaning they owned it – which meant they were much more conservative in what parodies were allowed. With all rights relinquished in later years, Woot was basically “we don’t own these, we’re just printing them”, and things got more lax with IP. It didn’t help that the many of the daily shirt sites were playing the IP infringement game too and took sales away from Woot.

@jasneko @sammydog01 I’m SO GLAD! It was at the point where there were always more Peanuts shirts than probably any other theme and I couldn’t understand how they kept getting away with it. Was the complaint from the Peanuts estate? Now they need to start working on banning more unoriginal characters. (Muppets, Monty Python.)
I’m happy that you’ll be able to reuse your rejected designs too.

@jasneko @sammydog01
@narfcake – do you know if the complaint came from Shultz’s estate? If so I hope they go after the other companies too.

@jasneko Also now there is a ‘Back to School’ sale - $8 shirts! 5 of my designs were included (all new or remixes). I posted them on my facebook artist page if you’d like to check them out:

@jasneko Where is the info on the back to school sale? I was looking on Woot but it’s impossible to find anything over there.

@Kyeh I see it on the front page right under the shirt of the day? It links to this:

@jasneko Thanks. I couldn’t find it until you gave me that link, but I’m on my phone so maybe it’s different? I’ve had lots of trouble finding things on the app before.

@Kyeh Sure thing. Yes I understand - I find it much more difficult to find anything there on a phone too.

@jasneko Voted! Good luck, I agree with them all. Shopping is my sport

@heartny Ha thanks! Unless it’s the Olympics which I do watch some of, I’m usually confused if someone asks if I watched “the game last night” (or something like that). I’m like - what game?
Ooooh shopping can be a pretty risky sport at times!

@jasneko And shopping can be very competitive, especially around the holidays.

@heartny I bet! I’m not a fan of big crowds in general, and if all competing for sales/deals, that must be pretty intense.
