Search Engine T-Shirt Competition
I’ve always been quite impressed with the t-shirts that Philipp Lessen has for sale from Google Blogoscoped and would like to expand on the availability of Search Engine related t-shirts (Philipp’s are more tech and blog related but very very cool). Search Engine Journal has had t-shirts on our todo list for the past year and I’m going to take a chance and through this request out to our readers.
We’re having a little competition where readers can submit slogans or t-shirt ideas for our 2006 t-shirts at SEJ. All you have to do is write your idea in the comment box below and on March 1st I’ll announce the winning t-shirts that we’ll offer for a limited time on the Search Engine Journal.
Of course, those who come up with the slogans, logos, and winning t-shirt ideas will receive a free limited edition t-shirt from Search Engine Journal.
Again, we’re not specifically looking for t-shirts about SEJ. Instead Google, Yahoo, MSN, SEO, Search Marketing, Rank, Linking and other themes relevant to the search industry.
Oh yes, if you win we’ll also link to you – So get posting your ideas below!
UPDATE
I am happy to announce that Spreadshirt has agreed to sponsor the contest. Spreadshirt offers a wide selection of products which web publishers and bloggers can upload their graphics to and sell on your sites. Shirts are available in multiple colors and cuts including Ringer T’s, V-Neck, and XXXL Shirts. Spreadshirt also offers a wide selection of brandable women’s wear, work out clothes, caps and desk accessories.
Spreadshirt is even helping to help us offer more prizes and open the competition to more winners. With the help of Spreadshirt, we will now be announcing 10 Winners of the Search Engine T-Shirt Competition.
Additionally, Barry Schwartz’s company RustyBrick will be producing the final t-shirt graphics designs which we will be trafficking over to Spreadshirt for printing and distribution.
A big thank you to RustyBrick and Spreadshirt for making this competition a reality!

How about Booted from Google, but #1 in MSN
Superb idea, Loren. Now turn of comments until I get my creative juices flowing ;)
“creative juices flowing”
Now that’s a good one!
:)
T-SHirt Slogan : “Search This” or “I spent hours writing add copy, optimizing my site, and adding links and all I got was this lowsey T-Shirt”
Vanity Google Addict
“Trust sponsored listings – they are what you seek” or “Friends don’t let friends Spam Search Engines” or “Search Geeks Rule”
Hmmm… I like the Yoda approach, thanks Chris. Please keep the ideas coming and “May the Schwartz be wit’ ya!”
“The contest got Loren a ton of links and all I got was this lousy T-shirt”
“My PageRank is bigger than yours”
I own Google – now what?
haha…”Luke, I am your search engine”
PR10
FRONT “JOHN SCOTT”
BACK “OWES ME 10 GRAND!!”
“Get Your RSS Kicked!”
Doug Who? – FRONT
The Wanker – BACK
“My Heart belongs to Google” and use a heart symbol – yea, this one is pretty sappy.
Just say no to Nofollow
The shirt is white, but my hat isn’t.
and of course…
The shirt is black, but my hat isn’t.
PR10 = Googasm!
Do You Prefer Dark or White SEO?

(A nice Spinal Tap throwback)
Is a pagerank of -1 good?
Your website will be assimilated
robots.txt is irrelevant
What sandbox?
Wow, I am astounded by the amount of creative t-shirt slogans and designs coming in. Please do keep them coming. As an extra bonus, the t-shirts will also feature the logo, name, or URL of the person who contributed the winning entry :)
I do believe that we already have a sponsor lined up to design, print & distribute the shirts, more on that later!
Here’s an idea I thought of today…

Some sarcastic options:
“How did you turn up in my results?”
“Was I searching for you?”
“What query made you top ten?”
“Google Goddess” for women
“Google God” for men
“My other PageRank’s a 10″
“PageRank? PageRank? We don’t need no stinkin’ PageRank!”
“SEOs do it organically”
“Yahoo does it better”
Political:
“Google: The New G-Men”
Feel Good:
“To Google Me Is To Love Me”
Funny. I was just be talking about creating an SEO related T-shirt the other day. You can bite off of the whole “Got Milk?” thing, however, all you T-Shirt slogan creator wannabees better not go go biting off of my idea of biting off of “Got Milk?”. Got it? ;-)
Slogan Ideas:
Got Links?
Got Subdomains?
Got PageRank?
Google Schmoogle!
Forget weights…real men lift PageRank.
Does SEO make Sense?
I sense a link invite.
I’m too Sensible. Love, Google
Note: “Sense” should remind us of adsense either through color or font.
G-Men? Maybe “Google: The New G-Man” invokes the cliche better:

“My feed is bigger than yours”

i have a need. a need for feed.
I’ve got a couple off the top of my head:
“Google Me”
“To Google or Not to Google”
“Just Google It” (Insert Nike Swoosh)
A little late for valentines day:
“If this shirt had content advertising, you’d be all over it.”
Google IS intelligent design
I Google, therefore, I am.
I think, therefore, I Google.
I’ve got a few to throw into the mix:
“Yahoos Yer Daddy?”
“Googlebot Rocks!”
“I Need A ‘Get Out Of Sandbox Free’ Card”
Another takeover…
YaGoogle!
You really have to know advanced searches to get these:
“My site: or yours?” or “My site: | yours?” for the real obscure!
“My searches are outta site:”
“Prefer:Blondes”
“feed:me”
“link:ToMe”
“contains:OneSensitivePerson”

The response to the Search Engine T-Shirt Competition has been amazing.
I am writing to tell you all that we are beginning the judging of the results today and will be announcing the winners in one week, since the Search Engine Strategies Conference is in New York this week.
I will be announcing our judges in a new post here on Search Engine Journal tomorrow.
Thank you, Loren Baker

These are all about hand edits:

Okay, that meta tag I just posted got hidden by the code of the site. So, here it is again:
sorry, I thought I could fool the system with different code. The t-shirt should read:
meta name content equals google ranking number one
I know I’m Lucky.
