Massive Site Update!

Tuesday, April 17th, 2012

Since we missed the 2 year birthday to launch the new site for That Awesome Shirt, we thought we’d set it into the world (wide web) in a spectacular fashion, LATE – COMPLETE WITH EXPLOSIONS!

05-shirt-comments
Our old-school "Web 1.0" design

While most of the functionality was tested already, we’re still expecting a couple of things to break here and there.

Aside from the slick new style, what else have we done?

  • Site loads way faster! Rewritten from scratch, we’ve scrapped the old Drupal code that was weighing TAS down
  • Easier to submit shirts
  • Browse by stores, making it much easier to find stuff during sales
  • Easier to find your tagged shirts with better filtering (see your profile page)
  • Broken up the site to "Best of the Best" which contains the most awesome shirts, and "Latest shirts" which shows off all the shirts we have
  • Related shirts and latest comments to keep you hooked ;)
  • New categories: Religious and Weird
  • Shirt tags!
  • Share on Google+ and Tumblr
  • It even looks right (mostly) on IE6!
  • And much more, but overall the site sucks less!

Feel free to let us know what you think about the new update!

Threadless: Flood Relief Tee

Tuesday, February 8th, 2011

There are still regions of Australia, Brazil, and Sri Lanka that have been devastated by flooding. $9 from each sale of this tee goes to relief of these regions. We’d like to thank all the designers involved in this international collaboration for their generous help and creativity: Matheus Lopes Castro in Brazil, Blair Sayer in Australia, Simon Massey Di Vallazza in Australia, and our own Ross Zietz in the US.

$9 from every Riders Through The Storm shirt sold will be donated to the flooded regions of the world.

Launch of blog for ThatAwesomeShirt!

Sunday, June 20th, 2010

I’ve finally gotten around to integrating a blog feature onto this site, along with a bunch of other fixes to improve performance and functionality across the site.

This blog will serve as the main "go-to" destination for upcoming sales, updates on changes to the site and also some random (and interesting) finds on the internet.

The structure of the blog will start to flesh out once I get some more content online so keep an eye out for some whacky stuff that’ll be invading your browser soon!
