Call it T-shirt Idol. In a sea of websites peddling not-so-unique T-shirt designs, Threadless Tees takes simple commerce one step further -- specifically, to the people.
The Chicago-based e-tailer invites designers to send in their tee concepts, posts them on the site and asks would-be shoppers to score their favorites. Winning designs (which run the gamut from quirky-cool to faux-retro to high-concept) then become available for purchase, and the artists receive a cash prize, among other perks.
Our favorite part (aside from the good vibes we get from buoying emerging designers, and the $20 price tag on most items) is the 12 Club: Join their tee-of-the-month scheme and Threadless will mail you exclusive designs each month for a year at a discount, along with gift certificates redeemable towards more jersey goodness.
You have no excuse to wear a Vote For Pedro T-shirt ever again.
