That's right... if you receive your order and your shirt has a gold foil tag you win a free tee of your choice!
The details:
There is one golden tag for each size printed of a design.
If you're one of the lucky purchasers just go here and we'll get back to you!
oh man, i knew i should have canceled and got a new shirt!
hahahaha this idea actually worked?!?!?! didnt ross sugest this?
you're serious?? oh man now i want to buy a shirt
Is this just with the designs printed this week?
Even if you didn't win anything, finding that shiny golden tag in your shirt would make you happy in the pants.
can i win a trip to the chocolate... i mean t-shirt factory instead?
and have shimala give me a tour wear a brown top hat and puple over coat?
that's great! thank you threadless! i love you
Reprints too? Or only for the new designs this week?
it's for every design from here on out starting with a few this week.
Shimala is the guru of all things threadless. We bow at his wisdom.
what a fun idea. from now on whenever i spot someone in a threadless tee i'm going to rip the back out of it.
There should be a tickets paid... trip included with the threadless loves threadless comp to see threadless for real!
awesome!!! looks like i'll be spending a little money.
well we all know that its a girly xlarge tee for this shirt :P
that picture has been photoshopped! scam! haha jk... I presume your going to be keeping track what orderes you put them in or not? just youll get curious if you get more than there should be reported.lol
stuff like this will never happen to me, its probably going to end up being a shirt i ordered for somebody else!
Yeah we are keeping track, you photoshop whizzers.
some skinny anti-augustus gloop who wears 17 shirts at a time will probably win the first one.
I heard rumours that the shirts are actually 100% made from gold and are infact completey printed on everywhere else apart from the tag*
*facts may be false, they come from untrustworthy sources.
hahahaha, this is fun...now i remember why i like hangin around here.
sillyness done professionally
haha
willywonk-ish!!..i can see shimaloompas there!... :)
...after UberRyan's comment all I have in my head is Craig as Willy Wonka with the other staff dressed as oompa loompas with Threadless shirts on walking around the factory singing.... oh please make this a short video please please please Craig!
sweet! s0 it's for all tees, select, type and otherwise in all sizes correct?
I guess I can't order anymore Threadless, my pastor says gambling is a sin in the eyes of the Lord. :(
i got a golden ticket
i got a golden ticket
come on, grandpa! get your stinky, lazy bum outa bed and take a freaking shower!
Run home, littlem! Run home as fast as you can!
usually I only wear bubblegum shirts but I will stop wearing those and start wearing threadless for the contest. You know, I once wore a bubblegum shirt longer than anyone else without washing it.
That's ok! My dad calls me slutworth all the time!
Which types of tees will golden tags be found in? What about reprinted, text, selects?
Is it sad that I'm more excited about the prospect of getting a shiny gold tag than getting a free shirt?
any tee?
geeeezz!!!
its better than meeting mr.wonka [=
that is the best idea ever.
but we should get free tours of Threadless! ;D
What about 12 Month Club tees? Do they get the same treatment or are there too few of them for this to work?
this is the coolest idea ever, until you get to the part "we'll get back to you"
please, sir, i want some more...
whoops, wrong movie
ahahaha i just saw this blog... too funny. who ever came up with this must be awesome!
i dont think so, tracer, i thin they mean only new shirts, on their first runs
Oh man, you threadless staff are the bomb.
Way to make me start wanting to spend even MORE of my non-existent money!
And I demand a Shimala Wonka and his threadless oompa loompas video.
You all kick ass.
Yes.
" arzie13 on Jun 26 '06 at 5:17pm
Yeah we are keeping track, you photoshop whizzers."
not cool!
hehe i just found out about this through the newsletter
what?! rachel gotterman?!? damnit!
and i was so hopefull her last name really was raygun... :'(
what bout the 12 month club, there going to be a gold tag up in that too?
hey! my angels and demons shirt not only has a gold tag but the whole design is in gold- do i win a date with Jef?
shimmy wonka, arzie wonka, the amazing teeshirt-eers..c'mon, you know the melody
Whoa thats cool, though I do wonder what the odds of winning are.
Wowza!!
If only I had waited and bought my shirts this week...
hey........any free shirt?
so does that mean I could choose a shirt that's retired and you'd have to print a special one for me?
or even a 12 Month Club shirt i'd never get otherwise?!?!
...and the best last names are German ones ;)
Yup, but I think Ross said something about you can't win twice, so they took it away. Poor kid :-(
I have a GOLDERN TAG!
unfortunately its on my the back of my underwear
: ' (
First t-shirt (Psychedelic creatures L) I buy at Threadless and I got a golden tag! Thanks guys! :-)
the chances are actually really high that you would get one... theyre like 1 in 300 or somehitng, somewhere near there
I just got a GOLDEN TAG on my new M-Large "Obi-Wan Kerisst" shirt!
w00t!
I started to regret buying my "The Early Bird & the Worm" shirt because I shouldn't be spending any more money on clothes...
And then I opened the package today and found a golden tag.
Whee!
*checks shirts*
White, white, red.
No golden magic for me. :(
the chances are really good actually. like 1 in 70 to 1 in 200 for most shirts/sizes
not only was i pumped that i got the last satan's little helper in girly large but ive got the golden tag too!
*sings I've got a golden ticket*
^ I can totally appreciate that feeling! I was absolutely thrilled when Stat City arrived for me this morning, and then I found a golden tag and I was doubly happy!! The tag alone is worth smiling about... so shiny!
Oh, it's funny too, cos I was reading that blog about how you get stickers and 'other goodies' when you order shirts and I was like, Hmm, I only ever get the stickers... but now I get a free tee too! Woot!
yay! a gold tag in my infinity mpg!
it's so pretty . . .
I got a gold tag for Lonesome George Looks for A Wife in girly medium! =D
I got one for House 3, size kids 4!!! I felt like little Charlie!!
man i was hoping for a tour of the threadless factory. Can I at least get some chocolate?
i found two golden tickets... psychedelic elephant and strange birds but i keep forgetting to e-mail my pictures. damnit!
:( I just got so happy when it rains, and had convinced myself that I would have the golden tag - sadly i was wrong.
but i do love this feature - it makes opening up the threadless package that much more exciting
wait, they did gold tags for that one? I thought it was only for 1st edition. I guess I wasnt paying attention
Somehow I missed this blog - I found it tonight and remembered seeing a golden tag like that on a shirt I got within the last week. So I checked all my recent shirts, and sure enough, Buster Brown has a gold tag! I just bought it during the sale. =D Yet another cool thing Threadless has done.
Threadless are the most awesome business ever for having ideas like this. If only multi-nationals could learn from you guys. 5$$$
woot! I got 2 stickers a pencil and a golden tag on Happy When It Rains! :)
I got a yellow tag!!! (apparently thats the color of the adultery tag..)
Sweet idea! Now the excitement just keeps building for my shirts to arrive. I ordered 11 so I have a lot to be excited about.
I got a golden tag on "Stop, Drop and Roll..." on my first Threadless order. I felt quite lucky!
Sadface! I ordered 19 shirts... 17 for me, 2 for my boyfriend, and I didn't get a single golden tag! Or a pencil! Oh well, I will keep hoping. Hopping. Thats what i typed first.
Only 2 for your boyfriend?!?!?
And 17 for you?!?!?!
Baaaaaaaaad.
Egirl, they probably couldn't fit any pencils or stickers in your package! ;)
Yessssssssssssssssssssssssss! Got one on the Happy Hospital shirt!!
I just found a little treasure on the back of my new shirt.
this is like charlie and the chocoloate factory
COOOOOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey, I have a golden tag on my "Cowboys and Indians" t-shirt I just got. It's a threadless select, though. Do all those have golden tags or did I win?
Woo hoo! This is awesome, I never win anything. Well, that's not true. Once, I won a drawing at work for who got to clean the bathrooms for the month. :(
Thanks! :) Plus, I got the last Girly L "Cowboys and Indians" which I love, so I am really excited today.
My girl got a golden tag on the second shirt she ordered, and i have have ordered like 20 and nothing! =)
"Greetings to you, the lucky finder of this golden ticket, from Threadless.com! I shake you warmly by the hand! Tremendous things are in store for you! Many wonderful surprises await you!"
Ha, that's awesome.
Hey, about how long does it take for Threadless to get back to you about the golden tag if you found one? I e-mailed them on Oct. 21st and still nothing. :(
i dunno...i sent one email, heard nothing in a week, emailed the service address and they said someone should have emailed me already so to email them again, did that and have yet to hear back again.
so in answer, i have no idea. haha.
:( Maybe I should e-mail them again. I know they've probably been busy with the sale and stuff.
hmm, i got my email back the next business day.
Is this still going on? My "That way" tee had a gold tag...
I got a Golden Tag on my Fake Pandas Have More Fun, but I don't have a camera... damn broken camera...
wonka, you crafty son of a gun! great idea
yayyyyyy, i just got particle man today (from the surprise back-in-stock) and i was granted with a golden tag.
i'm so excited
i'm just so...scared, zach.
i meant, "doing the things a particle can." i'm sure everyone knew.
ooh its just like willy wonka!!
*sings* I'VE GOT THE GOLDEN LABEL!!!
does that mean the t-shirts are edible? mmmmmm t-shirts...
so if i buy "HI" in a guys large is there any chance there will be a golden tag
or is it only new stuff?
eh?
SHIMALA TELL ME!
oh baby baby I just got a golden tag on coat of arms, I'm stoked
nice subliminal marketing campaign. i see through your sneaky scheme lol. have t-shirt sales gone up yet? im just kidding. i love you threadless and i aways will
ooops nevermind just searched my email and found it in the spam folder
I just realized that I got the Growth of Destruction golden tag, and I ordered it months ago.
Yayzers.
gift for my boyfriend... I'm so glad I got one before they sold out!)
And my comment was cut off for some reason... The shirt I submitted a picture from was A Voyage of Discovery Guys Medium.
so wait doesnt that mean the tag is in the "oh my virgin eye" tee?
thats what the picture says....
those will be going fast.. lol
^ funny typo.
but seriously, how long does it take for them to contact you if you have a golden tag?
My "Keeping It Real" arrived today with a golden tag.
Yay for me. :)
Photos are forthcoming -- I have to recharge my batteries.
Woot!
Woot?
What the fuck is Woot?
I never say Woot...
But here's my golden tag:
Woot!
*hurries to look through her order*
I didn't know they were still doing this.
Aristarchus, woot is just a modified version on woo+, which is an onomatopoeia (in the urban dictionary) for a commonly heard cheer. I'm sure you've heard it before.
is there a list somewhere where we can check which golden tag t-shirts have been found?
The first thing I will do when my shipment comes in! :D
the one on my Liberty Nor Safety isn't the traditional white imprint. It looks good but not shiny gold foil. Anyone else come across this with their Liberty Nor Safety tee?
My Liberty Nor Safety has a khaki colour print for the threadless tag.
I'd love one of those, they're so pretty and shiny!
And a free shirt would be snazzy too.
The gold tag I got for Keeping It Real had a different design from the usual tag. When I got my Defend The Kingdom, it had the same style of tag, but alas it was printed in khaki. So yeah... There may be something weird going on with the tags.
Sweet! I got Revenge of the Sushi... Didn't know the gold tag thing was still on, and I was like "Oh look, a gold tag. Interesting." And THEN I remembered! WOO!!!
just received my electric jellyfish shirt with a gold tag!! whee!! my first order with threadless and i get a gold tag! yay!!
a gold tag on a Large Tree town shirt
Thank You Threadless ! :D :D :D
freaking rock! I found one! (Dinner in the Sky)!!! EEE!!! I had it and had no idea I had won something, notices requested foh' sure!
I have 120+ shirts & have still never gotten a golden tag lol!
I always forget to look, but I think i'd would have shone out at me (I hope).
They're pretty obvious. You'd know if you got one.
so i didn't dind out about this until know i know almost a year and a healf later, and i had ne on my adorable disater shirt after washing it about three times, some of it is faded but i submited anyhow, hopefully it still counts
this is a :
I wonder how many people get a gold tag and do not know about this bump
Someone in my Wisconsin family got one of these with her last order.
Interesting... now i have to go home & check all my shirts.
Thanks for bumping this !!
On a related note, if you lick the wallpaper at the threadless factory, what does it taste like? Can anyone who's WON fill me in??
Huzzah, way to reverse my bad luck of being charged 12 quid customs charges on my Threadless order...considering it was In The Event Of A Playground, "swings and roundabouts" comes to mind ^_^
wow i NEVER heard of this and have had a shirt with a gold tag for a LONG time, i just saw this and ran and got my camera, i've always wondered why it was gold YAAAAAAAY!!!
Does anyone know how long they normally take to be verified?
Hey, this still works with the new custom tees, yes?
I just got one in the mail today on my "Beautiful Land" tshirt.
I submitted it about 30 minutes ago and got the confirmation email with my coupon code already.
Thanks!
hah.. I had no idea about this... I'm gonna have to check my t's!
I got a golden tag - but was too lazy to go through the redemtion process
still cool to have a golden tag though
You dudes are so badass!
Totally forgot ALL about this!
Oh man, I totally forgot, too...until I got one today!
*inept breakdance celebration*
i just opened my package that came today and surprise!
i got a golden ticket! it was on sonmi's consumption tee.
i'll post pics shortly...
^ Hey, congratulations Radiostaticstar!
Let me know if Threadless responds, because I got one a while ago and still haven't gotten a reply.
:\
that's odd. here's my post about it.
i'll let you know what/when i hear,
if it comes to it we can gang up on the emails.
i'm sure it's just been overlooked...
hey green rabbit, give em a heads up.
they just hit me back.
I have gotten several golden tags
but i am too lazy to redeem them
I love all the creative ideas your team comes up with.
The Chocolate Factory has come to life. This is Fun!
I now find myself wanting a golden tag like I wish I could be a kid growing up in the black and white 1950's shown in movies.
wow - fun idea.
