Hey there everyone, I actually designed number 10, but play Wednesday nights and have never seen Patches O Houlihan’s jerseys till just now. Total coincidence, I promise!

However, upon closer inspection, the discerning viewer will notice the lack of ampersands on each line in their jerseys, a key component of the famous 2K⁄Gingham shirt style pioneered by Experimental Jetset ( see http://www.experimentaljetset.nl/archive/john-paul-ringo-george.html ). Also, they have neglected the all-important period on the last line.

Lastly, their typeface is the incorrect implementation of Helvetica, which is arguably the defining factor of the shirt.

Plus, look how cool mine is!

Thank you for your time and consideration.

I think that all of the designs look great. For those who submitted, great job! I’d'buy most of them!

@Keiko: Yeah, you’re right, I thought it was an existing jersey as well. That’s Patches’ jersey.

I do like the different colours though. The real question now is: if that wins, does Patches get royalties???

Hahaah! I skimmed it so fast that I thought it said “BANKAI! Dodgeball!”

Isn’t #10 already a VDL team shirt? I have seen it on Thursday nights. Is it eligible?

Can we get a translation on number 5?
