New design---feedback desired

[Proletariat]

Here's the first of a few new designs I have been working on. What do y'all think?

[ak]

no offense, but i don't like it at all

[PREV]

I'm not feeling it either. Kinda reminds me of the whole native american thing 10 deep was doing.

[5-4=Unity]

It looks like something out of the Boyz video

[RockTheVote]

don't listen to them.. it's hard to see it on the CAD only.. if you have the right process and washing on the actual piece... it may look different

[mr fluffernutter]

Hahahahahahaha... WHAT THE FUCK?

[the wit of the staircase]

needs supreme armband to sell.

edit: on the chief not the shirt

[Proletariat]

No worries man, I like the honest feedback. The shirt is already made, and I trust what the SF people say, but at the same time they have been wrong before. I guess I was a little worried about what the people thought of the message less than the design. I ran it past a couple of Indian friends of mine and they were all down.

[mr fluffernutter]

I don't get the message.

[funkdoobi]

was this a serious post?

[mr fluffernutter]

Are we killing off the last of the native americans?

[evisu 2000]

if it were just a b&w photoshirt it would be passable...

[JonathanFrom508]

thats just retarded and probably offensive to native americans i kno i'd be pissed n e way

[doctorgnar]

Didn't Rockers NYC already make, like, this exact shirt?

i would never wear that

[trees]

if your planning to make money i think youre targeting too small an audience with that design.

DEEP (10)

Nothing says your serious about making a difference better than a purple t-shirt.

Plus, I think if an actual Native American saw you wearing that shirt he'd probably sue you for referring to him as a "species"..........on second thought, he would probably just try to sell you fireworks. Zing!

First of all Native American is not the preferred term for Indians. Most Indians prefer to be called by their tribe ie:Navajo or they would rather be called an Indian, because the white man coined the phrase Native American. I ran this design by a bunch of Indians because my aim was to inform, not to offend or shock in order to make a quick buck. But we all come to view things with our own influences so I know some people will be offended, but a wise friend told me the only thing about this shirt that is offensive is the fact that it is true.

Ha hah. If you are going to try to spin knowledge get your facts straight. The white man coined the phrase "Indian" as it relates to American Indians as well, FYI. The race which coined the terms has little to do with the preferred terminology; the arguments of being labeled as "Native American" vs. "Indian" have to do with the implications of the etymology.

Anyway, that isn't the argument. The shirt is fine and I can't imagine what kind of constructive criticism you would need. It's a photo and a phrase, there isn't much room for variance.

What if you don't know what tribe they originate from?

I think in Canada the politically correct therm is "Aboriginal Peoples".

Proletariat - the graphic in the background might make a decent shirt.

[notesee]

This shirt is a failure.

If you took out the color pattern and used a less stereotypical typeface for endangered species, (if you insist on having that phrase in the shirt) .. then it will be better, but I still would not buy it.

[ProfMonnitoff]

how proletarian hahaha rofl

[Guest DUM]

the 'western' font, hahahhahaha.

[broneck]

gasoline and crystal meth are to indians what boat propellers are to manatee?

[sleazie ninja number 47]

its pretty much like that native american shirt that says "homeland security" on it...

chinese people call indian indians "ah-chahs" because they look like they got buns on their heads... lulz...

[gfunkdocta]

where to copp? those would look sick with my grapezz dogg!

[drivel]

i don't think any shirt would look good on a mockup like that.

[broneck]

in vancouver injuns throw theyselves in front of cars so that they can stay in the hospital for a few weeks and have a warm bed and hot meals. sick.
