Greetings everybody.
I’ve noticed that quite a few members on Springleap have picked up on the amount of design submissions that have something to do with pandas.
Yep it seems like these furry two tone dudes are quite the popular design element these days…the only problem is that there are so many panda designs that just don’t have an edge to them….no panache.
However Firebrands design Revolting Panda steps outside the norm and not only looks great but is unique too.
So here is the Tshirt of the Day by Firebrand.
Panda characters always seem to be cute and cuddly, well in exception to other designers like KingC with his “charming” Panda FU…however it seems that our newest rebel panda has a more serious side as well.
Don’t get me wrong this panda is chilled and doesn’t wanna cause any unnecessary bloodshed…which is why he spreads his message of revolution with colorful party balloons…dude there’s even a little bird that feels he’s safe enough to trust that he’s perched on his rifle.
Let’s not beat around the bush here, pandas are not the kind of animal you wanna get on the wrong side of…unlike the happy cartoons of our youth, the chances of running up to a fully grown panda stealing a big hug and walking away unscathed is highly unlikely….you will most probably stagger off missing an arm at least.
Yep pandas are not creatures to be taken lightly…and just like our Revolting Panda, he starts out cute and cuddly whilst trying to get you to revolt against the normality of this world…but if you turn the other cheek….brother, it will come off your face ![]()
So do us all a favor and just do as our Revolting Panda says…we don’t want that cute but deadly fur ball on the loose with a sniper rifle…it’s a little known fact that pandas have the best eye sight of the whole bear family….u feel lucky enough to test that fact….well punk…..do ya? Revolt NOW .
Firebrand has done an excellent job on this design, it looks simply brilliant and the choice of color he has used really adds flavor to the personality of the panda character.
At first I was thinking I’d rather see this design on a black t-shirt…however after trying it on and having a good look at the print, I think Firebrand made an good choice in t-shirt colour…good foresight methinks
Firebrand is actually one of our featured designers on Springleap…for obvious reasons, this guy has some serious design power at his command.
Can’t wait to see what “revolutionary” stuff you come up with next Firebrand.
Duncs.



I LOVE this TEE!!! It rocks!
Trevor Paul aka Firebrand at springleap.com has always been one of my personal fave artists - he is also the driving force behind Bigwood. check out http://esquaredfashion.co.za/2008/07/24/bigwood-2-feedback/
Rock on Trev - this is such a cool tee - one of my personal faves indeed.
I just love the super laid back Chocolate Mouse/ Nick Rivers look he has on this clearly Top Secret mission. Awesome springleap t-shirt!
