Okay for starters, www.flipny.com has to be the greatest t-shirt website design I have seen since time began, the homepage has to be one of the most engaging and vibrant I’ve come across so far. Click on the pic to see exactly what I mean! Sure it’s in Flash, I don’t know if it’s me but Flash is always a little slow loading, but the wait is definitely worth it, wow, a totally mad panorama of a New York cityscape from an alternative dimension!

If you want to skip the intro (which personally I think would be a crime) you can go straight to the store at www.shopflipny.com – their extreme graphic talents continue on with a selection of some of the wildest graphic tees available on the net, and I mean wild. Expect an exuberance of vector and bitmap prowess, colours asunder and a unique slice of N.Y culture to take home to wow your friends!

Skylink Ink Tee

Here’s my favourite tee from FlipNY’s current collection, Skyline Ink is a shocker, stretching the very limits of what can be achieved with screen print technology, offering a generous six colour image depicting their unique vision of New York’s skyscraper-laden horizon, and then some. The illustration, the composition and the choice of tones and hues in this tee are superb, definitely one for my wish list. Even the logo kicks @ss, and I doubt there are many tees I’ve reviewed that could achieve that accolade. The fact is if you position your logo correctly, within the right composition, with a great choice of font, you can achieve branding supremacy, and this is a great example of that.

Empire Jungle Tee

Here’s another corker from FlipNY, the Empire Jungle tee follows the same lines as Skylink Ink in as much as it explodes tattoo-influenced vector prowess with the same savvy positioning for their brand logo, never losing its impact as a powerful and adroit composition. I’m not sure what’s up with the photos, they’re featuring a beige t-shirt but only offer it in grey but I suppose it’s down to popular demand. The fact is no matter the colour shirt this works, I love the way they’re continuing the “flipped New York” idea here, upside down skyscrapers are a new one on me, very graffiti, very cool. I also appreciate the classical influences in this one, the statuettes and scrolls give the design a provenance, a history that engenders a historical motif, almost turning history on its head to seal the deal. A very strong design indeed.

King Of New York Tee

Another funky number by FlipNY – King Of New York is created in playing card style and definitely worth a gamble, take a look at the king’s face, he looks wrecked, so are the hazards of maintaining your position as a major player in NYC ;) Very gangsta, very cool, I particularly like the detail of the back on this one, as it should be, all cards have two sides, and in case you don’t want to show your hand to the competition, just turn your back for a full effect :p Nice choice of font for the title on this one and some subtle use of colour too, definitely makes an impact.

There are plenty more mad and bad tees on offer at FlipNY’s Shop – oh but before you rush over there do make a note of their latest discount code FLIPNY09 – they’re offering 20% off any purchase from now until 31st of March 2009! Glad you read the full review now aren’t ya? So, don’t flip out looking for a funky tee, pop on over to FlipNY and soon you will look the business!
