BroadSt_Bully Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Penn State is having a contest for students to design the White-Out t-shirt for next football season. The field of 63 entries was narrowed to 4, but 3 of them are absolutely atrocious. In the meantime, there was a MUCH better design that was rejected for the "final four". Check them out...Link to final 4 designs Link to 2 that were rejectedHere's a bigger, more deatiled version of the front and back of one of the rejected entries: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BawlmerOreos Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 As a PSU grad, I'm a little bummed.Except for D, those are pretty weak.The two you listed as rejected are better. Especially the second one.Now here come all the jokes about "how can a school with no logos on their uniforms be expected to have good design?"

Shumway Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Yeah, this one is much better IMO. I honestly don't like any of the final 4. I wouldn't wear any of them, even if by some odd reason that I didn't hate PSU. I was actually accepted to go there, but chose elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfrobel Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Whats with the messed up paw print on that one rejected design, I thought cats only had 4 small paw prints not 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The four-toed paw design is a registered trademark of Clemson University. The five-toed paw is an extremely popular car magnet for Penn Staters.

The five-toed paw is an extremely popular car magnet for Penn Staters.Popular, maybe, but it still represents something that doesn't occur in nature. It has always made no sense to me, particularly as other schools have used the four-toed paw at the same time as Clemson.

Right, Im sure their specific paw print logo is a trademark of Clemson, but they dont have the trademarked rights to all cat paw print designs. Ive seen loads of stuff in my life for sale with a paw print on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harperdc Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 is it just me, or do these T-shirts never end up cool? the ones Oregon have used the last two years have been LAME and relied on puns on the word "Duck". The one you show on the first post looks pretty cool (with the snowflake and paw print), but it's still really busy on the back....but of course that's not one of the finalists.institutions annoy and confuse me sometimes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CS85 Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Those final 4 designs are cheap looking. The one you posted is light years better than the remaining turds.

paynomind Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 The one posted here is very, very nice. Know who did it?The others are crap. D was the only acceptable one, and thats just the front.

This is the first year Nike has produced the tees, but I know they did the same as the last few seasons in having a couple of choices, which would lend me to think it was student-designed. I will see if I can dig those up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
