Derby #467: Woot!

Hey everyone! Hope everyone is doing well. I’m looking forward to looking at all the entries this week. SOOoooo…have any of you ever thought to yourselves, “man, this would be a really cool theme for a derby”? We’ve had over 450 of them, so what have been your favorite? or which one’s would you like to see back? or what new idea do you have for one?

I’ve always thought the glow in the dark derbies were awesome, I’d love to see another come by soon. As far as new ideas go, I haven’t thought of anything yet but I’ll check back later and edit my post when I think of one.

Good luck everyone!

hmm. i noticed the rules no longer say to include the woot green color. is this correct?

It has not changed, but I think maybe it’s a little unclear. The logo WILL need to be in the tee- and the logo itself is green and should not be changed from that color.

A lot of people have not read the guidelines for this derby O_o

Also a lot of people are using the wrong logo I mentioned in the other thread, too.

Does the education derby start next Thursday? Or should it say Monday?
I apologize if this was already covered.

That is MOSTLY fine, as long as they use the logo- I’ve been told we’re okay with adding in the (R) thing.

Fixed! Should have been Monday indeed.

Ok, I’m a woot newb…so, what’s with the “No Cream Tees?” Is there some sort of anti-cream tees movement I’m not aware of?

Basically! We don’t have a very good consistent stock with them.

Every single shirt I wanted only comes in black and I don’t do black. Why can’t we have 2 or 3 colors of shirts to pick from?? In fact 8 of 10 shirts on Woot are on black. G-r-r-r

I think the themes used to be more imaginative. When a them is has tight parameters, it forces the art crew to design some truly unique tees.

I would love to see a weekly poll for narrowing down theme ideas. That way we can all have a little input into the derby theme.

Theme ideas…
Made up words
vaudeville
macabre
alchemy
ancient aliens
life on other planets
fake relatives of famous people
dystopia future
animal mashups
subterranean life
bones
detectives
thug life
vanished cultures
alone
quantum scale
microscopic life
fairy tales

That’s all I could think of, off the top of my head

I have to say, alot of these themes are pretty good. I would love to do vaudeville, detectives and dystopia!

I agree and great ideas for derby themes. It would be awesome if they held polls, even if it wasn’t for every derby it would be fun to see what the artists would come up with or choose. It would have have been awesome for more people to participate because who knows, maybe someone from woot would have liked an idea and we could see it in a future derby.

I thought of an idea that I thought would be super fun, but I don’t know how many people would actually care to participate. It doesn’t seem like too many people read the forums. I’ll try pitching the idea when the next derby starts since it seems there’s usually more traffic then.

Real good stuff and thanks for replying!

Hey Guys, this is a great start for Derby Ideas. We are constantly looking for new twists, so keep ideas coming. It’s always a challenge to pick themes that force some creativity, but don’t alienate others.

It might be a good forum thread. We could reference these lists when we’re scheduling.
