Derby 61 Loser Awards

Derby 61's theme was "Movie Titles Re-interpreted". Similar to the Lyrics derby, they were looking for shirts inspired by the title of the movie but not necessarily about the movie. Incidental text was allowed. A great theme that produced many creative designs. I guess the Woot-off has distracted people since there were no nominations this week. That's good since I had enough trouble paring down all these great entries without a lot of other shirts to consider. Here's the best of the best. As usual, click on the thumbnail to see the full-size shirt and comments on Shirt.Woot.

The "Not Another Orange" Award
Despite my sarcastic title (there were a LOT of Clockwork Oranges this week), Drakxxx's "Inspired by a Clockwork Orange" is stunning, unique, and beautiful. A pleasant sketchy style, subdued colors, and a great layout on the shirt.

The "Obviously The Work Of An Intelligence Beyond Our Understand" Award
TheDansterWasHere's "Inspired by Spaceballs" shows us the biggest rubberband ball ever while Jimiyo returns briefly to drum up business for his DBH entry and leaves us with the curious monkeys on his entry "Inspired by the End of Days".



The "And I Thought I Had Enough Lolcats" Award
ICanHasArmses, a collaboration between Peppersagooddog, Bluchez, and Ted the cat, really captures the homemade silliness of Lolcats without regurgitating the endless memes or displaying a lot of embarrassing misspelled text on your chest. I love the bad xerox artifacts around the arms. This is cool to be done once -- hopefully it won't inspire a lot of messy "copycats" (lulz!).

Honorable Mentions
Here's the rest of the shirts I liked. I wish I could comment on all of them since there is some really unique entries here. Everyone mentioned today will be getting one of these in their Shirt.Woot entry comments and their ShirtDerbyStats' badge list.


If you'd like your favorite shirt to show up here next week, send in your nominations by mid-Tuesday. Give me some reasons why it is the greatest thing Woot will ever see and I'll include the best ones. Longer entries are more likely to make it outside the Honorable Mention section just for formatting reasons. Please include a link to the derby entry.
