I love the idea of blipshift, but I never really see any designs that jump out to me personally. So many I would get for others (KB better have the Iron Man/Rotary mash up), but none I would wear.

How is the fit on the HD tees? Basically the same size-wise? Or are they looser? They call the non-HD ones fitted, so I wonder. Out of all the shirts I've gotten from them, I like the fit and material feel on the fitted ones, but they are a bit cheap, as a few are started to fall apart already. And a couple fit oddly, with wider neck holes (pencil neck here) and a funny arm/torso ratio. I'm guessing those were the secondary brand they were using.

If I didn't rip the tags off of them all as soon as they got them, I'd check that last bit.

It's a wee bit bigger and boxy-er, but not so much that you really notice. I haven't washed it yet so can't comment on how it'll feel after that. The material thickness and quality is the main improvement. It's heaps thicker and softer. The brand is a Hanes Beefy-T, and it's 100% pre-shrunk cotton.

Just got this shirt in the mail, figured it'd be another instant classic (I have their earlier baby blue Gulf 917 shirt). Disappointed to get it and find that the orange stripe on the right and the bottom of the car are brown. Not sure if this is a defect or what.

Rare White Ape
January 16th, 2015, 12:04 PM
Are you talking about the colour right at the bottom edge of the nose of the car there?

I'd consider that to be darker because of shading. I'm not sure why they chose the darker colour for the stripe. Maybe it looked too garish having the bright orange stripe there.

Edit to add: I looked again, the blue stripe is darker as well, to match the shaded areas of the car. It's muted colors in the background to make the car stand out.

Have you seen Finding Nemo?

Basically, if you're at the beach and you throw a hot chip in the air, a flock of seagulls will swarm in and go nuts.

In the movie, the seagulls squawk mine! rather than their real life bird call as a gag on that phenomenon.

Kchrpm
July 4th, 2015, 04:10 AM
Yes, but he's asking what happens in the car situation. I've never seen the phenomenon you guys are talking about, so I'm not really sure what situations cause a bunch of seagull-like people to swarm in car forums, all saying "Partout?"

Or, is it that when someone says "partout" that they all start swarming and saying "mine"? That makes more sense.

Freude am Fahren
July 4th, 2015, 06:45 AM
Yeah the latter.

Someone starts a thread with a picture of their car wrecked to some degree and say they are parting it out (or people just assume), and everybody comes in to try and get the best parts cheap. Especially relevant to cars that get modded a lot, like the 86 because of all the aftermarket parts one can get cheaply. Turbos and such.

I ordered the Fanboy shirt with the Chapparel 2J. I know no one will get it.

But there will be a day sometime in the future when you're preparing to go to a big historic car race where lots and lots of people definitely DO get it, so you put the shirt on and anticipate the knowing wink from other car enthusiasts like yourself which you will get throughout that day. You've been planning to wear the shirt to this event for months now, and you wear it and you proudly stride through the ticket gate and you know that it's you, the fan, the one, who is wearing this shirt like a 6ft tall racing FANBOY.

And then within half an hour you see three other people wearing the exact same shirt, and they're uglier and nerdier than you, and you hate them and you just want to die and you wish you wore your Metallica shirt instead.

Look at all the people that ask me "do you own a Corvette" when wearing those shirts?

I actually own more Corvette Museum track shirts than I do Corvette shirts.

But seriously, while I love the bike, I think that a shirt with that design would just be underwhelming. Especially considering how small it will be compared to the rest of the shirt (I'm looking at you, tiny McLaren on my massive XXL shirt).

Don't worry, the shirt will probably catch fire after wearing it a few times anyway.

Just an outdated Ducati joke. I was going to say break down, but fire made more sense for a shirt.

It's a gateway shirt.
Don't see any cowprint so I doubt its a Gateway.

Owning a shirt with a Ducati on it won't cause you to suddenly own a Ducati.

I mean, look at all the Corvette shirts you own.

I own DMC shirts. :(

Well, the was a batch of improperly cured fuel lines in 2011 in some Ducati models that could crack, leak, and start a fire.

Just when I'm short of free funds to blow on a shirt :(

Oh well. But I think a svelte design like this would get lost in shirt fabric anyway. I'll just save the image and use it as a phone wallpaper at some point.

I love blipshift, but the shirts shrink so much, I've changed to fitted XL, so that they'll last longer. The fabric quality is great. Soft and durable, but they shrink so much for me. I lot of my old ones just don't fit anymore. I have a couple of the Hanes ones, but I hate the fit and fabric of those. My early ones are hit (leavemealone, The World is Flat) or miss (Save the Whales, 8-bit 911).

On the other side, my Nurburgring shirt (earlier version of this (https://enthusiastapparel.com/collections/shirts/products/ringmeister)) from Enthusiast Apparel (https://enthusiastapparel.com/) still fits like new, though the track is fading a lot. I bought that probably close to 10 years ago. Saw it on an ad on the final gear website back when I was downloading Top Gear episodes from it.

Do you wash them in 40 deg or hotter? I only wash them at 30 and they're all still fine. I only buy M (normal cut, not heavy duty).

Epic bump to say that I have bought several blipshift shirts during the pandemic. Almost every single Corvette and McLaren F1 related thing they have put out, plus a LeMans shirt.

But strangely not the red C7 one (https://www.blipshift.com/products/big-red), because the inaccuracies on it jump out at me!

I've only bought a few recently. Mainly because I noticed when moving that I have WAY too many tshirts. I do get the daily email though, so I never miss one I want. I bought two this year. The one with the 911 silhouettes lined up vertically, and the one below.

Not many have jumped out at me though. I kinda wish they'd get a little more creative with the space. More multicolor or design type shirts rather than just all car drawings.

One of my latest is the one below, which gets lots of compliments when I wear it.

I haven’t bought one in ages. Last one I got has the Harrod’s McLaren GTR on it.

They’re becoming very samey, or the joke on the shirt too obscure to really communicate easily.

So my shirt fix is being filled by blank $8 tees from Kmart :D

Haha, yeah, I have kind switched to Target shirts too :D

To kinda explain what I meant in my previous post. Here's an example of getting outside their little 8"x8" box that all their shirts are in.

Inspired by my sighting of a Boxster in this livery today.

"Samey" is an apt description.

Update on my shirt situation: I still wear blank K-Mart tees. Haven't bought a logo'd or decorated shirt in over a year now.

But this latest shirt is actually really damn good. Or, well, the design on the shirt is what interests me.

https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0166/4148/products/starrynine-insta_1000x1000.jpg

This is more of an art comment than a shirt comment, but I am continually impressed by an artist's ability to use colour, shape, and perspective to make an image look right.

This Van Gogh-inspired design uses the same complimentary colours as the original Starry Night, and the swirls of blues and oranges still somehow come together to make the body of the car look like a deep polished black.

Like... how???

I think you can get most of their designs as posters too.
