Resumen del concurso

We sell patriotic-themed T-shirts. We need a visually appealing design for a new shirt. The design should be something that a large number of American men and women would find appealing and want to buy and wear. The entire design should be on the front of the shirt. No designs that call for 2 sided printing or printing on the sleeves.

The text for the shirt is "I Like My Coffee Black and My Tea in the Harbor." This is a reference to the Boston Tea Party (you can google it if you're unfamiliar) so graphics should relate to that event. Here are a couple of shirts with similar concepts:

These examples are for inspiration only. Please do not create identical or similar designs. We are looking for an original design.

Modern and vintage designs are great, but nothing cartoon-like or whimsical. This shirt is intended to be funny, but not silly. It is a statement of pride in America and a celebration of freedom.

Red, white and blue are good colors for obvious reasons, but they don't have to be vivid or bright. Colors can be faded and distressed according to your creativity. Designs should appeal to men and women, but when in doubt favor masculine over feminine design. The majority of shirts will be black, white, red or navy blue, so the design should work on these colors as much as possible.
