This post is about a potential Threadless backlash, I’ve seen a few signs of it in recent months and I’ve aggregated those opinions and added my own. I think Threadless are in danger of peaking. I’ve framed this as “7 reasons why threadless don’t rule (as much as they used to)” in response to the Signal vs Noise post “7 reasons why threadless rule” here http://www.37signals.com/svn/posts/68-7-reasons-why-threadless-rules#extended
There’s a lot of talk about business models and tshirts on this site, but little discussion with designers and design communities. I spoke to Nick from Amateur Illustrator, an illustrator community started by two british students. We talked about the process of starting a community, the goals of the site and whether its harder to build one a community in the UK than elsewhere.
Not just a sale, but a half price sale, £7.50 a tee over at splittheatom. It would be rude not to.
