Fuzz Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 The idea for this shirt was created by M1KEY a couple years ago when he made his own shirt, obviously inspired by East Jesus Nowhere. With his permission we're designing the shirt to produce something for GDA. The design below as made by spark in the night. Before we go forward and announce it and start selling it, I'd like to get feedback from you guys. Would you buy this shirt if you could afford it? Anything you think could be improved?

Cori Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 I think it's a really cool idea, and I may buy one. Although, don't you mean "don't test me" is from East Jesus Nowhere?
Sweet Armataged Chump Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 Why is it backwards? Improvement: dont make it backwards the talking at :22 into the song is don't test me backwards
Ratchet Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 the talking at :22 into the song is don't test me backwards Well I just learnt something new I think it looks great I don't know if I'll be able to get it but it is awesome
M1KEY Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 Why is it backwards? Improvement: dont make it backwards ROFL Oh my god that made me laugh!
BringMoreKnives Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 I think it's really cool. ...People might look at you funny if they're not a Green Day fan though.
Todd Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 Lol. How can you tell? Play the whole song backwards and that part will be forwards? How do you play a song backwards?
captain peroxide Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 Lol. How can you tell? Play the whole song backwards and that part will be forwards? How do you play a song backwards? Seriously? Reverse it using audio software. Reverse the direction of your record player.
Heather! Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 wow, I guess I never paid enough attention to know it said "don't test me" backwards, haha. Anyway the shirt is cool. I'm wondering if the letters should be in mirror image though, rather than just the phrase spelled backwards but the letters facing the correct direction?
captain peroxide Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 I'm wondering if the letters should be in mirror image though, rather than just the phrase spelled backwards but the letters facing the correct direction? Mind blown. Didn't even realize the letters weren't backwards.
Heather! Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 I thought it looked weird and then noticed the Es were facing the right way. but yeah, if you want to be able to read the shirt while looking in the mirror, the letters should all be flipped.
alaniluau Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 wow, I guess I never paid enough attention to know it said "don't test me" backwards, haha. Anyway the shirt is cool. I'm wondering if the letters should be in mirror image though, rather than just the phrase spelled backwards but the letters facing the correct direction? I also like the mirror image suggestion. I was just recently appreciating Mikey's shirt during his Longview moment. I'd buy it for the sheer purpose of confusing the masses!
The Snark Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 the talking at :22 into the song is don't test me backwards Ooooooooh! I always wondered what was said there. Now that I know what it means, I do like it. Another shirt to confuse people with!
Fuzz Posted July 22, 2012 Author Posted July 22, 2012 I thought it looked weird and then noticed the Es were facing the right way. but yeah, if you want to be able to read the shirt while looking in the mirror, the letters should all be flipped. Well the goal wasn't to be able to read the shirt in the mirror, but I see what you're saying. The reason I liked them this way was because it just looked like it said something in a different language rather than looking like it was accidentally printed the wrong way.
Todd Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 Seriously? Reverse it using audio software. Reverse the direction of your record player. Damn. I cant reverse my record player.
punxie89 Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 Why is it backwards? Improvement: dont make it backwards If you listen to East Jesus Nowhere, there's a bunch of random shit at the beginning, right? If you get a program and play all of that stuff backwards, someone actually is heard saying "Don't test me" backwards (which I always thought was really cool). That's probably why he designed it that way.
M1KEY Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 Anyway the shirt is cool. I'm wondering if the letters should be in mirror image though, rather than just the phrase spelled backwards but the letters facing the correct direction? Agreed. That's how I wanted my original shirt to be, but wasn't able to do it as I had it made at a custom t-shirt shop where they press pre-made letters/designs on the fabric.I'm somewhat amazed at how many people here didn't know what was said backwards at 0:22. When EJN was released with 5 other songs from 21st CB everyone was wondering what it was, and then someone figured it out and everyone was talking about it. Cruel. You'd still sleep with me.
pieterv Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 I like this shirt for the same reason I like the "six pack of apathy" shirt, it doesn't put Green Day in your face with some small related artwork next to it. I like the t-shirts that seem sort of weird but cool to someone who doesn't know the songs, but is instantly related to Green Day by a fan. In this case though, I didn't know about this being in the song myself, like some others apparently. That said, I don't buy shirts online, although the six pack of apathy one tempted me a lot and I'd still buy that over this one.
ghesboro Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 I think it's really cool, I like the reference a lot, it's that kind of thing that only a Green Day fan can get. Anyway I'd add a little "Green Day Inc." or something similar under the "T'NOD", where there's that empty space. I like the fact that Green Day fans can see I love Green Day too, but I'd like it more if "normal people" could see it as well Only my opinion though.
