Hey there everybody,
It’s been a busy day here at Rothco headquarters. Partly because we’ve been getting a bunch of new products together for the upcoming fundraiser but also because we’ve been collecting and sorting the submissions for our t-shirt and onesie design contest.
It was tough to narrow it down to just a few options, but we did it. And now, in order for us to get things ready before we launch Geeks Doing Good (on June 5th, just in case you were curious) we’ll need to see which shirts y’all like best.
Here are our top contenders. First a nice combo shot, mocked up shirts:
And individually, so you can check out their individual majesty:
Before you vote, a few polite requests:
- If you don’t plan on ever buying a t-shirt, maybe don’t vote? (It’s not that your opinion doesn’t matter… It’s just that it doesn’t matter in this particular instance.)
- Please vote based on which designs you would buy as a t-shirt. If you like the art, but you wouldn’t wear it as a shirt, then don’t vote for it.
- Let’s not descend into internet jackassery here. We’re better than that. Don’t try to game the system. Don’t vote a bunch of times. That’s not cool.
- You can vote for two shirts. That means you should vote for the shirt that you’d really love to buy. And then the shirt that you’d love to buy if your first choice isn’t one of the ones we print.
- When you’re voting, double check the name of the shirt to make sure you’re casting your vote correctly. The name of the shirt is at the bottom left of the image itself.
- The poll ends at 11:59pm Tuesday, May 30th. So be sure to get your votes in before then…

We also have baby shirts to vote on. I’m excited for these, as it’s been years and years since we made a onesie.
Here are our onesie/baby bodysuit/baby shirt contenders, mocked up first:
And then individually for you to see all the juicy details:
Most of the same rules apply for the baby clothes:
- Again, please only vote if you would genuinely consider buying a onesie. If you vote for one because you think it’s adorable, but you have no interest in actually buying it, you’ll skew our numbers and it will make it harder for us to actually get people a product they would like.
- You can only vote for one baby shirt. That means you should only vote for the onesie you would most like to buy.
- Again, double check the name of the design to make sure you’re casting your vote correctly. The name of the onesie/shirt is at the bottom left of the image itself.
- The poll ends 11:59pm Tuesday, May 30. So be sure to get your votes in before then…
Which baby shirt should we make?
