There better be more shirts coming soon… to offer so few like that and have it sell out in a matter of days is cruel and downright irritating.
I’ve been waiting for this shirt every single day and it’s quite annoying to see it disappear as soon as it becomes available D=
Could we please get a decent amount of reprints on this? It’s a Rockstar shirt, it deserves a rockstar amount of reprints!

Just got mine today. I briefly considered sending it back because I thought that the print was off-par for DBH… Till I looked at the model’s pictures more closely and determined that it’s prob the same with all such shirts. Still excellent shirt! :D

Are you talking about the imperfections around the seams / collar areas? It looks that way because of the printing that is needed to be done around the areas of the collar, sleeves, and all the seams.
I think it’s a pretty rad look, myself. Snagged a second copy of this during the recent (but small) restocking. My dog ripped my first one :(
Great design, shantyshawn!!!
Yeah. The reason I thought it was off-par was that I recently got “Stay On Target” shirt, and it’s pretty much flawless. Maybe it’s because of the difference in the ink or something. Nevertheless, I’m sure that it’ll be awesome after I get it resized down to Medium. :D

Yes I just did the exact same thing.. I’ve got a big line moving diagonally down along the birds, identical to the one on the male model. I can live with it… and if people ask, I’ll just say it’s a strike of lightning XD
I’ve been checking every day and every time some are available the mediums are sold out!

Bloody hell! The bastards!
i agree with the first comment more reprints of this shirt would get me to buy from this site and also should do prints of shirts thare are being voted on . i mean if u browse them 90 percent look much better than the pic of the weeks shirts. i think they should make copys for every user that desides to buy instead of making itbe vote on for anumber of times. they are loosing money. specialy at the prices these shrits are at during these times.
I would order a mens medium now or asap. Once I tried buying the thing when i saw it in stock M, but it turned out it was a womens size so i had to cancel the order..
Your cruel!
Please, reprint this shirt! I want too much buy it!
contact me when you reprint, please.
I COMMAND YOU TO RE-PRINT THIS SHIRT NOW!!!!!!………please?…….pretty please?
they need a feature that emails u when they reprint a shirt that you want.
PLEASE REPRINT (=
do not reprint, if you do so the magic is gone, this tee has sold too many already

Magic?! Why wasn’t I told that there’s magic in those shirts?!
I’m completely new to this site, and I made a user just for this shirt! When I first saw it, most sizes including mine were sold out. I decided to check and see if it was reprinted or watever, but apparently its just dead! Why would you not reprint this shirt! don’t you want to make money! I would buy 10 of these this is one of the coolest shirts I have ever seen in my life! I was just wondering, are we EVER going to see a reprint!? How many adoring fans need to show their support for you guys to make more!? I was also wondering, PLEASE is there anyone out there that can point me to some place that they ARE selling this shirt!? Is it anywhere else? I JUST WANT THIS SHIRT SOOO BAAAD.
im pretty sure this is the only place that you will ever find this shirt on because i believe once submitted the shirts become the property of the website. i really hope they reprint this, recently purchased about 10 other shirts but i would love to get my hands on serveral of this shirt.
I’ve got two plans: one, I’mma check this page very often and snag up some as soon as they become available. I’m also considering getting the design and making a shirt with it on it. There are a few services that let you do this, one is zazzle.com, but it will be really hard to get the full effect since its not just a picture in the middle of a shirt…

Oh and don’t forget that it would be illegal since DBH owns the rights to all artwork they use. So you can either get yourself sued or wait for a reprint like everybody else.

ZING!
My suggestion is to jump on the political bandwagon. Write your congressman and demand massive reprints of this shirt be part of the next stimulus package. Tell them it can single handedly end the recession and may even help Obama to promote peace thereby warranting his Nobel Peace Prize.
Either that, or start hanging out in the DBH parking lot and start a “Tee Party”

best shirt comment ever.
New idea for the reprint! Instead of using discharge ink, why not do it the way Once in a blue moon was created? With white ink. I think the print would look better like that. What do you say shantyshawn? Perhaps this could be a new “rockstar” edition. ;)
Only a limited amount would be printed, it would have your signature on it, and numbered. :D

With an all-over print like this, using white plastisol would be almost impossible. The ink would bunch up like crazy of the seams and in the armpit areas making the print look really bad.
Darn, that gets my dream trampled. lol. There seems to be little tiny imperfections of the print that I would love to see be corrected next time it is reprinted. Since this is the best selling shirt on DBH, they should spend a day just figuring out how to make it “perfect”.
Hey OolongTee, The “imperfections” are exactly why I chose the discharge ink. It was a way to take the very concept of screen printing the same design on t-shirt after t-shirt and make them “one of a kind”, kinda sorta. i like the “signature series” tees though. Maybe DBH will wanna do that.

i agree, oolong do you not read the disclamers on allover print shirts?

yeah, I actually have two prints of “Blackbirds”, and they are definitely distinct from each other. I love the discharge method, as it makes the shirts much softer, lighter, and easily worn, preventing the dreaded “thick, sheet-of-ink” feel to it.
It is my very favorite shirt.
:)
I’m confused there are a lot of pictures of this shirt on Google and it looks different than what the models are wearing here: http://www.tshirtreviewblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/433.jpg

That was probably the original print on the DBH Original blank. They might have adjusted the print slightly when they went to reprint it.
@odetti
Yes, but you forget about one thing: I piss on copyright laws! At the same time, I would never violate THIS copyright cause its just so damn awesome and the author is a pretty cool guy. I wouldn’t use zazzle anyway cause I don’t think I would get the full design, just a square. I wonder if there’s a a site where I can apply a design to a whole shirt… and maybe I could get the author’s permission or something and pay him like $10 or something. But anyway, yea I’ll just wait for a reprint; everything else is impractical.
When do you think you can have some reprints fur us eager customers, shantyshawn? =D
Why don’t you draw your own Mattj7? I saw one design that inspired me to recreate it with my own style and it’s then free of copyright. It’s not for DBH subbing, but for myself.

@Bohemiantoe
Hell yea! I’m not really an artist, but I’m pretty good at art… With some hard labor, I totally could create a shirt inspired by this one that is unique to me. How could I apply my design to a shirt though?
and as quickly as it came back, it left again…
