The Vagina Natzi Shirts

I'm just entering the realm of making custom running apparel for groups. I was resistant for so long because I thought "custom" meant sacrificing your artistic input. It does to a certain degree but there's something even worse that the artist often has to face: The Critic.

I came across an article on MSN the other day. It actually made me laugh as the author highlighted the ten worst jerseys in the NHL today. With references by the critic to vaginas and natzis, you do wonder what the designer was thinking in creating some of these shirts:

Are they really that bad? Doesn't every sporting industry suffer from not-so-great apparel? Sure it does - which is exactly the point of this blog. My own running club has deemed one certain marathon shirt "The Vagina Shirt" for its awkward artwork front and centre.

Artists and designers of the world unite! Let's come together and resolve the ugly workout clothing dilemma terrorizing our world. Perhaps we need one regulating body that will oversee bad design and put a stop to this unsightly problem!

Egads! In reality, I only hope that my designs don't get trashed by mainstream media!
