My favourite is February's 'Solitary Dream Pt2' by Budi Satria Kwan
Brilliant play on perspective and is a head-turner of a tee. :D
April has a cool design but I would wear the february shirt.
Feb. for the win for sure.
February's design is my personal favorite; I love the color scheme and it's a double-take worthy tee to say the least. Simple, clean and amazing :)
My favourite is September "art no war"
i'd have to go for October.
November FTW :)
I like the "Rainforests" June one!
I like June's "Rainforest" one!
October's awesome!
some are pretty nerdy but.. some like the last one look unbelievable stylish
.. but reesearch me @ http://reesearchme.tumblr.com/
I mean it has to be keyboard cat right? (Keyboard cat is my home-boy)
I'm seriously, seriously in love with April. Pretty much forever - the use of color is fantastic, and I was really surprised to see the placement of the image. A+++!
My favorite is for sure January. It is subtle yet powerfully done.
Hard to choose, but I'd go with January ("Her Hair").
I love the June one. It's playful to the eye.
Definitely November! I loved it since the first moment it got published. There are some really amazing works here, but killer Velma and Scooby are the best for me.
Cheers
May & February are my favs..!!
I like 'The Horde' by Aled Lewis. It's awesome how the zombie mass fades out of the black shirt to the focal point of the person on the car. Oh, and I'm a big fan of zombie games.
Definately June
i love zombis!

February is very nice
It's a tough call, but I really love the May design
Vote goes to October! Fight the HORDE!
I deftly love the February tee design. So eye catching.
"Feel like diving into another world?"
My favorite is May's 'Let Go'. Such a simple yet powerful message that everyone can relate to. I love the contrasting textures.
September, definitely!
Reminds me of another one of my favorites: MP(3), which I have on my Threadless collection :)
February is by far the best of these! :)
I have to say my favorite would be November! Velma looks smokin'!

My favorite is September! Love the concept :)
September all the way; totally inspired by it
Totally has to be October, makes me want to go play Dead Rising for the umpteenth time.
I like the September shirt, Art No War.
The colour is nice, and who doesn't like a comedic political statement? ;]
I'm a big fan of June. Clean, simple, well executed.
My favourite is October, "We've Got Some Work To Do Now" by Travis Pitts :D
January, definitely!
i'm definitely going to have to go with january. the design itself is gorgeous and it translated perfectly over to the shirt. i might buy this for my girlfriend even
I absolutely love Septembers, although February is visually awesome
Electric Sky got me!
Although the rest are very creative as well.
Love february!!
January, then June & July.
June! I like simple.
My favorite is also the October shirt. "The Horde" by Aled Lewis. I mean, it is Zombies!!! :)
allmost all tees are great, but i love february the most!!*
August is the one!
I think I like September's entry, closely followed by February's entry the best. I'm a sucker for watercolor and different perspectives...what can I say?!?
Excellent designs, all of these, though. I hope to one day have a design featured on threadless myself.
September, Art No War by Noah Benjamin. I really like that watercolor background.
April is my favorite! Same as my b-day month
Would have to been September for me, love it
Oh, it's so hard to pick--there's a lot of good designs. I like December, June, May and April... the last three because they're just so pretty and the first one because it's hilarious and it's just different.
It's my month, it's creepy...march, absolutely!
december is really great! But there are some cool ones guys!
August, without a doubt.
The colors are wonderful.
I love the May shirt!
Solitary Dream, Pt. 2 for sure.
I voted for Horde! Such a great design.
I like July. Even though it's silly, I just think the cats are hilarious.
January and December would be my other favorites.
Wow,, always been a fan of threadless.....very nice and witty..
---------------------------------
http://365concepts.tumblr.com/
definitively January I WANT A REPRINT!!!1
My Favorite Shirt is Solitary Dream, Pt. 2 because it is incredibly trippy and I like sharks in the sky and the model is one heck of a cutie.
I like June : )
My favorite is Electric Sky. It looks great in person.
January is my favorite <3
Not enough votes for March!
September for me!
My favorite is the January, "Her Hair" by Federico Rodriguez Morice.
I am partial to the keyboard cats - July!
I'll go with April!
good luck to Aled, the Horde is def my fave!
February is my favorite. I had a hard time choosing between that one, June, and August.
The May design is my favorite. It makes good use of simple but eye-catching designs, and the use of red for specifically only the kite makes it an interesting focal point of the shirt. It draws the eye up, into the "sky," for the feeling of soaring hope.
Already voted for December!
December, actually! I love the play on toil print, how funny. Followed by November and July for lols.
I really find December interesting. Its funny, original, and a neat play that old fashioned wallpaper and fabric you see.
My favorite one is August. Sky Thief FTW!
My favourite most definitely: May - Let Go by Lim Heng Swee
April, the full size print makes it awesome.
They all look special but February is absolutely the best, also matches my birthday month! Love it!
My fave is Triskaidekaphilia by James Murphy. So weird and cute!
I'd have to say the Misery Machine is my favorite, if only because it involves the Scoobster.
My favorite is July, Keyboard cat/moon :).
I gotta say my fave is probably July, Three Keyboard Cat Moon. What can I say? I love memes. :D
This year was a big one for zombies, wasn't it? My favorite of these twelve is May's Let Go. You can look at that shirt and see a different emotion every time.
For sure, it´s hard to pick just one from this selection of great t-shirts, but, thinking in terms of concept, my favorite would be the November winner, We've Got Some Work To Do Now.
Love July...here kitty, kitty...
I loved October, with the "R.I.P." detail, but ZOMBIES FTFFV. So, Aled Lewis has my vote!!! =DDD
June is definitely my fav.
It's a tie betwen January, February, and July for me. Unfortunately, I wasn't introduced to Threadless until mid-June, so I never had the chanced to buy January or February's bestees. I do, however, own a Three Keyboard Cat Moon. Absolutely hilarious. I believe I voted for January from my threadless account.
My favorite is the June shirt, by far. But the may and february shirts are also really cool.
The Misery Maching in November! (Though...the Horde is a close second)
It's so hard to choose from! But I have to go with "we've got some work to do" it's so clever and I'm such a horror fan it just suits me so well!
No doubt that the August's Star thief is the best.
I had a really hard time trying to choose between October and November!!
But i have to go with the second one, Scooby was one of my childhood favourites ?
January FO SHO!
may!!
amo elevar piscucha! :D
February just beats out October and November tied for Second, and a special mention to March. (And that's 4 out of 12. Indecisive? Moi?)
For me it's gotta be "Her Hair," by Federico Rodriguez Morice. Too awesome.
For me, it's gotta be January - "Her Hair" by Federico Rodriguez Morice
You can't get better than killing zombies!
For the bestees listed, I really like Electric Sky (well, I own it and love so doh!).
But in general, my favorite I think is Icarus. It's just really awesome and I love greek mythology, so <333
My favorite is undeniably January
Its hard to pick just one! I think I might have to go with April. :)
March!!! I'm thinking about getting one for my sis.
February is definitely my favorite. - Solitary Dream Pt2 by Budi Kwan. traditional koi design with a fresh new perspective.
Love,
B
I'd have to agree "the Horde" is amazing, such cool lighting, and I love how the image recedes into the "darkness" that is the shirt
"The red" is also great, with "art not war" and scooby doo coming in next
Its a shame these are mostly sold out! With the publicity they'll get from this post I'm sure they'd sell shirt-loads! :D
I voted for august's Sky Thief. But I really liked The horde too... Great designs!
July is by far the best.
An epic take on the legendary Wolves shirt, this keyboard cat copy will be every nerd's dream! :) I believe that the July tee design can become the new wolf shirt.
I can almost see Dwight wear it on a new "The Office US" episode.
Rron
Gotta say that February. I can't help looking up at buildings through puddles at my feet since I saw it.
I like February's.
Solitary Dream Pt2 by Budi Satria Kwan
awesome perspective.
wow these are great ... may is my fav!!!!!
FEBRUARY!!! (solitary dream pt 2) i absolutely love it!
I love November's tee.
JUNE is my favorite...love the colors
february is pretty awesome too : )
i think october and february are the two most visually interesting, but if i had to wear one, it'd be OCTOBER.
JUNE
June
My Fav. is june!!!!
January!!!
I voted for October, awesome design!
Really hard to choose a favorite, but I'd have to say April's tee.
I can't decide between September or June. They are both great. I guess I like September a bit better. Model is awesome too.
february is really interesting
I'm gonna have to go with February for this one. November is a close second.
March and October
February is the one!
My vote goes to February!
I love the spring months... April, May and June, but if I had to choose only one, I think I'd go for June.
March
"It's Toile About You" got my vote as Bestee!
I hadn't even seen it during the year though....
Other faves were the Scooby-doo remix and the Star thief. :)
December... stole my vote....
These are all great, but I think I'm gonna have to vote for February. Beautiful Irony :)
March is by far my favourite, though December is a close second. I always enjoy off-centre designs, and these two do not disappoint. That said, March is the better of the two.
August, catching fireflies.
August, because I loved catching fireflies on my roof on long hot august nights!
It's November, hands down. Velma always had a special place in my heart.
I like "Let Go" The tee for may. it's soothing
November!
Definitely MAY! Go Ilovedoodle!
I love the June shirt. The use of color & placement of the design on the actual shirt is beautiful. I've been wanting to buy it, but it's been out of stock!
My favorite is February. I'm shocked I haven't seen it before or bought it yet! O:
I love it.
November! Love how clever it is.
August, Sky Thief, is awesome. :)
****************************
JULY IS THE BEST!

January is definitely my favorite.
It was a tough decision but...September!!!
Solid tie between "The Horde" and "Her Hair".
I like december, its really original - never really thought what those people would be thinking.... brilliant.
Januaryfor sure - "Her Hair" by Federico Rodriguez Morice.
The January one gets my vote. I love all-over printed tees and this one is just awesome with all of that line work.
My favorite is October!
Sometimes I feel like the person standing on the car.

September, Art No War
My favorite is the January one Her Hair
Rainforests
My favorite has to be October's "The Horde" by Aled Lewis! It looks fantastic on a tee and who doesn't love zombies?
My favourite is march: The Red by Dina Prasetyawan
Yet not cute but still beautiful!
The answer to many questions... it has to be cats playing pianos.
November is bangin.
My favorite shirt would be hands down, "Electric Sky". The reason is it was one of my first threadless shirts, and just looks amazing to wear. I really wish it was reprinted actually on an AA tee.
Definitely Rainforests, from June. They're all awesome, but it is just amazing.
my favourite is october!
May has to be my favourite, though there're several close runners up!
February takes my vote.
Its like a koi pond sky! awesome.
My favorite has to be May's 'Let go', very simple and calming.
My favorite is Let Go, May. I own about 10 threadless shirts and this one always makes me smile when I put it on.
I totally dig December!
I've thought long and hard about October or November but I have decided:
November
It's a new spin on an old classic, in an epic way!
I like February and March
My favorite one is the march one...
February is my favorite and what I voted for.
Many shirts I'd wear but Feb and April are what I've gotten so far.
My favorite is the April one.
I definitely like February the best, (Also the month of my birthday, which was yesterday!) And October is a close second.
I will have to go for the February one. I really like the concept, and the visual play.
My favorite is June. That's beautiful!
"We've Got Some Work To Do Now"
November really does it for me!
I love the February one.

February for sure.

I should really purchase some things from threadless.

It's really delicate but the red kite sticking out on an all blue background makes me think of Schindler's List... it's beautiful but sort of sad. xx

Its really delicate looking, but the bright red kite on the pale sky makes me think of Schindler's List... beautiful but a little bit sad too xx
