Design-a-Tee 6 Winners!
Once again, to empower the ranks of Emerican youth, we posted a T-shirt template here on the site for you to print out and draw the most creative Emerica T-shirt graphic you could muster.
We received at least a couple of thousand entries total via email and snail mail, sifted through them all, thinned out the herd, and came up with these three winning beauties—all lovingly and painstakingly designed by you ever-creative Kids!
Keep in mind that we have to display the graphics much bigger on the shirt than they actually are in real life, or else you wouldn't be able to see 'em here on the site.

Wheat by Graham Patriquin, age 34, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia

Parental Advisory by Kaloyan Zarkov, age 19, Sofia, Bulgaria
Each winner receives three pairs of Emerica shoes of their choice and five T-shirts bearing their winning design—not to mention full bragging rights for designing a T-shirt graphic that will be included in an official future Emerica Apparel line. We’d sincerely like to thank everyone who entered the Emerica Design-A-Tee 6 contest. We had a blast sorting through all of your designs. Stay tuned for Design-a-Tee 7 coming soon.

the last few t-shirt contests were a big let down...the first like 3 contests were good designs
[Lounge singer, quietly] "Feelings, nothing more than feelings..."
2nd is cool
theyre all kinda great.....the last ones rather baker
I think the first and last are gay. The first is uber gay.
oh man, i know a bunch of sent in designs that are
way better than these.....anyway, congrats to the winners. i should have won, suckers
seems like you guys just chose those designs which
are easy to be sold...no revolutionary design, nothing new, at all. it´s all designs seen at other companies before, just fit to the ´emerican´style. that bores me a lot. you did no choice for art or creativity, but for profit.
i´m so disappointed. not cause i didn´t win, but because the results are so unspectecular...

the first one and the 3rd one are pretty nice. BUT WTHAT THE FUCK WITH THE 2ND SHIT? UGLY AS FUCK
The second is the best.
i really want to buy that first one, its awesome
the last one is soooo lame...so is the first one....these shirts blowww
The top two are cool.

The second one is definatly the best. If I see that at my shop Im picking that shit up for sure. My ratings from best to worst are:

Are you guys fucking kidding me with these choices? They're horrible and the most generic shit ever. You might aswell have gone through every other skate companies catalog, ripped of their design, and throw an Emerica logo or text on it. You need to get some new judges for this contest because they have horrible tastes. How are you going to pass up something like this, http://billpyle.com/port/clothing/01big.jpg, for this boring shit?
all of them are shit they neede better designs
Haters are soooooo rad. I love you all. :)
i like the parental one haha. its cool
i font really like any... the second is ok but i only wear black
i dont
not font
sick shirts. i'd buy em
The First one kicks all the other ones' asses by far.
Those are all really lame. I would rather just by a plain shirt that says Emerica. or something thats creative and artsy like RVCA stuff rather than some childish thing. Emerica used to seem all clean and firm and recently they've become more childish.

These all belong in a CCS crap catalougue of stuff noone older than 14 buys.
BOOOORRIIIIINNG... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...
i like the 2nd 1 and the others suck monkey balls!
i dont get y all of u guys keep hatin on then. lets see u make sumthing better then that. those shirts are by far the gnarest one so far.
who chooses these shirts man. that last one was terrible. like crazy crazy terrible. it's hard for me to believe that after all that time of sorting through shirts these were the shirts to get picked. i could rant for hours over why you have chosen to produce these rediculously boring/cleche shirts, but all i will say is that i am dissapointed in the out come of this compitition.
do u guys have anythin better to do than bitch about what shirt sucks like come on there all really good
congrats to the winners
it seems that you dont send any designe... so youre not thinking like the people who send somethnig that take a whole week or day to impress emerica people ... but well i think they chose`t whit they eyes closed or something seems... its all right lets see what hapend in the next "emerica cliche choosing shirt designe"...
fuuuuck. i agree with Propaganda.
these are all shitty. the last one is a rip-off of a Baker shirt (which was a rip-off of 50 Cent's album art)
they suck ass
the last design is so gay. none of them are skate-related, which is bad; and all of them are generic, which is worse. at least design a tee 6 had one good design (the white one).
design a tee 5 i mean
thy all suck
the top and the bottom one are gay and i can only see some poser kid wearing those. the middle one isn't that great either but if I had a choice from all three (and I HAD to choose) i'd take the middle one.
but they're all pretty gay.
thank you killjoy. the shirts are kool. if u guys dont like the shirts then u make one and enter it.
those shirts suck,A LOT (except the second one, but it's nothing unusual) and everyone who asks why everyone hates those shirts and suggests that they design something better should realize that most people here probably did because it wouldn't exactly be challenging.
i did make make my own design and i did send it in and it didnt suck ass like these. mine was more rvca'ish. it was definetly original and good.
yeah, I'm not crazy for any of them, they seem.....way off. but oh well, it's not like I have to buy them, or be seen wearing them, right?
second one is the better of them, but why wheat?
