DISQUS

Men's logo 8 is incredible. That picture is one for the ages...

Bernie Franks · 1 year ago

#7 is a great design, best of the bunch. But the colors shown on the shirt (and the layout of the back) do not do it justice.

Matthew Gallant · 1 year ago

I like #10, the monocle is pure class.

Rage Kage · 1 year ago

I'm really diggin #3 and #8, but I think I'd have to give the edge to #8.

Ben · 1 year ago

Mens vote: #2 - Simple depiction of a manly man. Dignified with a classy retro style.

Womens vote: #4 - Funny! A witty way to make a (controversial) point. Aesthetically pleasing design, too. Another simple, dignified depiction of a manly man.

Geyser · 1 year ago

No 5 all the way (although the "man up" needs to be bolder).

james · 1 year ago

man i didnt see this i so would have entered something!

Alex M. · 1 year ago

#5??? It's basically exactly what's already being offered in the shop.

I'm having a tough time deciding between #2, #7, and #8. All 3 are really good. I hope they all end up being offered for sale.

rabanito · 1 year ago

i like the logo and typography of the blogs header. Maybe symplifying a piece and that´s it !

Jeremy Halvorsen · 1 year ago

I like probably #5 and #8 the most, but what I'd really like is good quality, the current shirts are like that cafepress printed on crap aren't they? I thought they were when I searched because I wanted the current logo shirt but believe it wasn't screen-printed. and maybe a better price, $23 is unrealistic compared to the other 8 zillion sites, then if you're 2xl forget it, especially if you want the man up on it, then it's $30.99, that's insane. but after looking at printperfection it's not really like you're gouging as they're just insanely expensive. There are so many other sites you can find that are so much cheaper, a screen-printer would be better too as you don't have overly complicated designs and all are maybe 2-3 colors.

The Obama shirt copy is going to be instantly dated.

Sure, it might be cool now, but it won't soon.

I really like the Sinatra shirt. Classy as hell.

Shadoglare · 1 year ago

Wow, several neat designs here. I ended up voting for #2 - very clean, classic retro styling.

Brett · 1 year ago

@ Jeremy- We're looking for a new place to print the shirts. Our goal is to get them to down to between $12 and $15. I've noticed a lot of the internet publishing companies have jacked their prices up on products just in the last few months. When I first opened up the Printfection store, the first AoM shirt cost $23. Now it's $25. I guess gas prices are affecting this industry? Anyways, like I said, we're looking for a new place and may even go to screen printing place here in town so we can get a good deal.

Dave · 1 year ago

#8 is a (not as good) direct rip-off of Shepard Fairey's Obama poster.

Patrick · 1 year ago

Men's style: #10
Women's style: #4

LG · 1 year ago

It's a toss-up for me between #'s 2, 8, & 12

Dude, make all of the men's shirts an option to buy, same for the women versions. Period. Why choose? Why not have a line of shirt?

Regarding pricing, you will do best buying in bulk. The more you buy, the cheaper each costs. It will also cost you for setup of the image, but thats a one time fee.

I would suggest you choose one image at a time, print a few hundred shirts, or w/e the minimum order cost is (or in your budget). Sell enough of those to cover the printing of the next logo/shirt and keep that process going. These images are awesome and I would wear them all! Also, DO not price the shirts above 15 bucks. Shipping, please don't charge too much. If you buy the shirts in bulk, you should be able to make a great profit selling the shirts at just $10, plus a couple bucks for shipping.

Also, these should be made into posters. I would definitely hang them up in m man cave. Make some screensavers and desktop background images too. A collage would be hot! A collage shirt even better.

If you need a guy to make your shirts, theres a company that is really inexpensive. Send me an email if you want the info for them. I didn't use them for mine, because the minimum order was too much, but I will when I can order that amount of shirts.

Heather · 1 year ago

#7 is my favorite design for a shirt.

#4 and #8 would both be great for posters.

Matthew · 1 year ago

Men's #6 - it's the only one that seems to have man upped enough not have to go all "BustedTees" to be cool.

Ladies #4 - because that's how it should be.

Jaye · 1 year ago

A lot of the designs on the mens list are great, though #4 I could see being problematic with Sinatra's estate. However I voted for #8 because it really does make a statement with its colours and image. I didn't vote for the womens, because besides the glasses joke I found them to be less than appealing.

MIlo · 1 year ago

As Luftvier said: #8 will be extremely dated after November and is a direct rip off of Shephard Fairey's Obama print, also, it isn't unique enough to stand out.

I voted for #3 because it is very unique and a definite conversation starter, and I would wear that shirt without even knowing what the artofmanliness even is!. I also really like #10. They are timeless and classy. The Sinatra one would be good... if I liked Sinatra.

Will · 1 year ago

Whatever the design, be sure the URL is there and visible!

Joe · 1 year ago

i like #3 for both men's and women's. obviously, they are meant to be a matching set, but i like them for their simplicity. i think the designs can go on a wide range of shirt colors and it is an original idea. i can see why people are voting for #8 but it's not unique. i liked it better as shepard fairy's obama poster. question: is stealing someone else's idea manly? Survey says... NO.

Phoebe · 1 year ago

Why does no one choose the one of the manly presidents and our boxer?

Steve · 1 year ago

Definitely #8!

Bill Jones Sr. · 1 year ago

I gotta go with #3. I think it's awesome. It's the essence on a gentleman on your shirt. It's like a Maker's Mark and a fine cigar.

I can believe #7 is winning. It's pretty uninspired. A pair of boxing gloves and a mustache on the back? I would never relegate a beautiful handlebar mustache to the back. It needs to be displayed. Next, there are thousands of boxing shirts out there, we might as well be "big Johnson boxing" or something lame like that. It's not unique, the image is a commodity. Also, the font on the back is stupid. What is that? Times New Roman? I think we're past that as a man civilization.

That's all.

Alex M. · 1 year ago

How did #7 pull ahead by so much all of a sudden? It was behind all day and then magically was in the lead by a lot. Hmmmmm......

KevinA. · 1 year ago

I like number 5. Old school look that hearkens back but keeps it's cool, modern sensibilities.

Dave Hardy · 1 year ago

#14 for the men's t-shirt; bears are related to dogs and we're all just dogs anyway.

#2 for the ladies' t-shirt. The little woman here would snap that one right up.

Matt · 1 year ago

I like Men's design #6. It clear yet catchy!

Emily · 1 year ago

Men's #6 & #7 are great!

Bryan · 1 year ago

I like number 8

Dave · 1 year ago

I like Men's logo #14 and Ladies' logo #1. Manliness shouldn't be about your fighting skills, or the way you dress... It's about your attitude and how you face the world. It really is an art.

Charlie · 1 year ago

Wow, these are great. A real toss up between 5 and 7 for me, in the men's category, but ultimately 7 wins for me.

TracyB · 1 year ago

#8 is my favorite and the ladies #2!!!

Logan · 1 year ago

I like #4! I voted for #7, but now I regret it..... 4 is so much classier...

Johnny 5 · 1 year ago

I got my eye on #3 for both men's and women's.

The rest are garbage. GARBAGE!

This site loses all credibility unless the #3's win. They're the essence of style.

Burt Reynolds · 1 year ago

When I'm not posing in playgirl or having the shirt off my back repossessed, I look for a shirt with class. Something that let's the ladies know I'm a man of fine taste.

Shirt #3 fully embodies what I'm looking for in a garment. Clean, simple and just imagine how magnificent that top hat will look when my billowing chest hair is raising it from my body.

Vote for another shirt if you must, but you're no man if you do.

RSH123 · 1 year ago

#3 if it!

No question.

All the rest of the T's look as if they came from the little boys department at Target. They might as well say Massimo on the tag.

"Art of Manliness" if dominating the web, and it needs a shirt to reflect that. Not one that looks like it could be a Guinness shirt cerca 2001.

And of course this shirt needs a match for the female AOM readers out there. So Female #3 has to be it as well.

theBorch · 1 year ago

Love all the shirts guys...except I don't know if I can agree with any sort of originality w/ #8 (http://www.thegiant.org) I understand following a trend in today's society but blatant rip-offs?
Any who keep on designing guys and gals and hope to see many more in the future, and if anyone has a site with their portfolio on it, it would be great to check it out!

Tyler @ Building Camelot · 1 year ago

I'm partial to #5 - it fits the site and it carries your "image" and extends your brand. I can't wait to get my hands on one

dave · 1 year ago

it's funny hearing people defend Shepard Fairey, as his whole style is based on biting and the particular design in question appears to be nothing more than illustrator live trace.

FDR · 1 year ago

I do declare #3 is the New Deal in shirts. Why I was president for an unprecedented 4 terms. I brought us up from Depression. I won World War 2... and I know one thing for sure - The only shirt I'd want on my polio-riddled body is #3.

And I know my wife is quite fond of #3 for women. Eleanor is quite the fashionista.

E pluribus unum

RichUnclePennyBags · 1 year ago

@RSH123, and if you walked to the game isle you'd find #3. But it has 'monopolized' the eye of many AoM readers still ;)
All in jest, if it even made someone chuckle?

Advance to GO collect $200.

Emily · 1 year ago

The problem with the #3s for me is that they (particularly the lady's) do not explain why the AoM Man is ideal. They are clean, and I do like the men's design, but they just don't seem viable for THIS contest - otherwise, great!

Granata · 1 year ago

Number #8 was created in the style of Sheppard Fairey and was created with the help of this tutorial: http://vectortuts.com/illustration/create-an-in....

Not Live Trace.

Mary K · 1 year ago

The problem with women's #2 and #4 are that they aren't wearable. Not since the mid 90's have people wanted dumb sayings and catch phrases on their shirts. #3 is the only viable option. It doesn't have to say "This is why the AoM man is ideal" all it has to do is be cool and interesting and people will ask you where you got your shirt. Then, Emily, you can tell them, "artofmanliness.com, check it out."

Furthermore, a top hat, monocle and sweet mustache speaks volumes more about being a man than a pair of boxing gloves.

Chris | Martial Development · 1 year ago

#3 and #4 are the coolest, but #8 is the one I would most likely wear.

Maurice · 1 year ago

Number 10 is my favorite.

oh damn, number two is wicked rad!

I would love to get in touch with the artist who created logo #8 so that I could investigate purchasing a print.

Curtis · 1 year ago

all of these are great but only number five catches the true essence of what AOM.com is and is simple enough to be worthy of a true aom T-shirt. it gets my vote bitgime.

There's a lot of creative artwork on here for the t-shirts! Well done! I say we should
open up the option of selection to many instead of just one choice!!!!

Thank you and MAN UP!!!

Cates · 11 months ago

#2 is my favorite overall design, but I wouldn't wear it with the red star. If it were blue, or some other color... Call me a capitalist pig (please!), but I have a bit of an inherent aversion to red stars. With that said, my vote would have to be for #7. The image on the back is a nice touch. I'd wear it with pride. Every day. No sh*t.
