No problem. If you ever need a tissue let me know.

(DustyRich dries eyes, while sobbing a little)
Thanks for clearing things up.

I’m not tryin to start an online message war, but you seem like a bit of a cry baby…you’re upset because a design doesn’t fit with the themes…?

You are an amazing illustrator I would think you should have no problem coming up with a design that fits the themes and blows everyone away.

These are the rules that springleap has set forth, instead of taking time to whine about it, use that time to blow us all away! I’ve seen your designs, they are freakin SWEET! I bet you could of done some phenominal stuff in the township bling comp!

heya DustyRich - we can’t do everything at once. we’ve launched theme comps, and in a few months time, we’ll be launching general comps again…we’re trying our best to please everyone, and most people wanted theme comps as first choice

Its a little BS because i would love to resubmit under_monster but he has F*all to do with townships or another f*ing soccer theme. For fear of sounding a little irate i suppose i will offer something constructive, why not run the general comp & the themed. Logistically cant be that difficult, was about to resubmit and submit a new design but couldn’t decide if a one eyed octopus reminded me of soccer or shacks and my rattle snake design also has an identity crisis with only two options. Oh well i’ll see if they crack the nod at other T compo’s

This is awesome!
I’m sure many of the designers out there would agree that it’s easier to compete when following a brief.
Best interpretation + execution wins!
The cool thing about Springleap.com’s themed tee design competitions is that you can interpret the theme in your own special way, because the brief isn’t at all restricting!

I am really excited about this new direction Springleap.com is taking!

The designs for the up and coming competitions, Me Love you Long Time and Township Bling shoud be interesting, i cant wait to see what our talented community of designers come up with.

So do you have a suggestion for themes you would like us to run?

Put them here!

What do you guys and gals think? Time to shake things up? Consider them shook - let the snow fall where it may!

So WHY THE MAJOR CHANGE IN THE COMPETITION STRUCTURE?

After seeing general designs pouring in with no theme for the last year-and-a-half, We decided we wanted to shake things up a bit – throw in a bit of inspiration and direction.

Designers are often in their element when fulfilling a specific brief with some direction. Providing that spark will be our job to set your imagination on FIRE!!!

We will also still be having amazing other themed competitions for our clients (have you thought about using Springleap to fulfil your design briefs?) and in the future we will eventually relaunch the general entry competition with a bit of a change there as well.

Meanwhile we hope that you enjoy the design challenge that Springleap represents as we all grow together.

nice

WHY IS THE DESIGN ON THE SHIRT I RECEIVED DIFFERENT TO THE ONE I VIEWED ON YOUR SITE??? I’M SPEAKING OF THE “FEED ME”?

PLS CAN SOMEONE GET BACK TO ME, I’M WORRIED THAT IF I ORDER MORE I MIGHT NOT BE GETTING THE DESIGNS I VIEWED?

I am wondering how come nobody has replyed to my emails regarding my design.

I have emailed twice with no reply.

I don’t like to complain but don’t like being ignored either.

thanks

Why do you guyz in-cluding you to women…write shout-outs the length of a essay,I dont like reading that why i joined this sight..so please keep it plain and simple but not boring like some t-shirts designs i have seen on the site-lol

Hey guys, this might sound slightly random, but why haven’t you got a search engine on the Springleap site? If I want to go find, for example, Tokyo, then I have to mission around the site to find one of his current shirts, then I can only click on his name to check out his profile and stuff. Can’t you get a simple search engine in please!

Hello

How do we know how the voting is going on the Pure Imagination competition ? Any listings on this any where ?

Thanks for a great site to visit.

@Chantel, you’ll be delighted to hear that the ones you saw were our generations 2 and 3. Our generations 4 have MUCH lower necklines and are slightly bigger. And we’re working on our generation 5, which will be used from July or August onwards, and the sizing is MUCH bigger, and sorting out all the problems we’ve experienced so far….

I would just like to thank and congratulate the springleap team for continuing with this great initiative. I came across you a while ago while looking for online clothing stores in SA and also saw you at the IFS. I just loved your designs and bought seven t-shirts on the day. I wear a size 8 so naturally assumed that the small would fit me and bought without trying it on. Unfortunately, the cut is all wrong. The neckline is too high – I feel like I’m choking all the time, and a bit of stretch would be a good idea. I don’t think the medium will fit me any better.

I had a look at the photos today and it seems like you’re still using the same cut. I beg you to bring out an alternative cut that has a slightly lower neckline and with a cotton lycra mix for that little bit of stretch. So, even thought my daughter (who is seven) is enjoying wearing my t-shirts, I would like to wear some of your designs too!

slakk, rimbaud - please email me at eric@springleap.com so i can investigate what’s happening with your orders. there are VERY few outstanding orders, and nearly everything has been caught up, so send me details and let me find out what is happening with yours.

@leighface - registered users have a vote each for each design. the highest average vote wins.

@malb - we’re building a more advanced system so you can track your orders. you can already see if we’ve approved them, and whether they’ve been sent, but we’re building a system to make it even easier to see what is happening.

@everyone if you have questions about designs or delivery of your T’s etc, please contact us on the contact form. This page is really just for people that aren’t sure what the different blogs are. We’re starting a redesign in the next few weeks which will make everything a LOT clearer.

And the tshirts are streaming out of the printers – we’re getting everything sorted really fast now. we still have about 20 designs to catch up on. TWENTY designs were printed over the last 2 weeks, and they’ve all already been sent. if you haven’t received your tshirts, please contact us, as it might be a problem with the post office.

@Tu you can read the official public guidelines here

You may use the SA Flag
You may use 2010 by itself as its just a year right?
The flag and the date shouldnt be a problem just dont alude to anything FIFA related
You may not use Zakumi
You can use the map
You may use SA and RSA

Oh oops I missed a few of the lines. Scratch my last sentence in my questions

OK… That’s a lot of rules… Totally understood as we’re NOT making an official tee. That would be very much copyright infringing.

Now let’s see what else I can (can’t) use…

Can I use the SA flag?
Can I use 2010 by itself?
Can I use 2010 with the image of the SA flag?
Can I use images of the stadiums?
You didn’t mention Zakumi but I assume you can’t use the green-spotted anime mascot.
Can I use the map of SA?
Can I use “SA”?
Can I use “RSA”?
Can I use “2010 SA”?

Nothing like a detailed brief outlining EXACTLY what you CAN’T do.
I bet FIFA’s public guidelines is at least a couple of hundred pages! Ok, so nothing that even remotely resembles anything at all to do with the FIFA World Cup 2010!~
Got it.
Hmmm, I’m thinking I may just have to wait until there is a rugby theme?
But I’ll take the challenge.
