Bioshock contest picks coolest t-shirt in Rapture

by Christopher Grant { May 7th 2007 at 6:43PM }

Web 2.0 t-shirt darling, Threadless, sponsored a contest to design a shirt based on Irrational's upcoming underwater creep-out fest, Bioshock. Pictured above is "The Leftover," the winning design by Budi Satria Kwan, which was selected from over over 155 designs.

Big Daddys: for $15 the shirt can be yours in a variety of sizes; Little Sisters: you need to pay extra for the girly tee. Don't like the winning submission? Really hoping "Drilled!" would have won? Cool down, you can work off that frustration come August.

yeah dude, that design sucks. there were so many better ones than that. threadless is so damn pointless. they pick the gayest designs. nobody would even know that's bioshock!

I didn't see the other entries but I would buy that shirt if it wasn't so emo.

funny, I just received a Threadless shirt I bought today, but I won't be buying this Bioshock one. The shirt is kind of cool, but I don't really see how it ties into Bioshock as well as other entries. In my mind this doesn't tie in to the Big Daddy/underwater world which has come to represent the game for me.

My entire closet is filled with Threadless shirts. My display name is also my StreetTeam link. *hinthint* ;]

IMO, http://www.threadless.com/submission/112292/Payback_From_Below/showmore,designs should have won, but for the Loves contests, a rep is actively involved in the selection process (from what I understand), so if you don't like it, some of the blame should be placed on whoever 2K sent over to Threadless HQ.

Best entry, but I guess it didn't really fit the mood of the game. Altough the winner lacks a connection with the whole Rapture underwater city imo. No water being a big one.
