Why gripe about a product AFTER it comes out? Why not get your two-cents worth in before it comes out?
Well, now you can – 80s Tees and Mad Engine are producing a new Ghostbusters t-shirt and they’re of two minds about a design. There’s one thing about it that they’re not sure about. Looks good with. Looks good without. So, which way should they make it?
Well, how about you help them out and pick the version you like. Take a look at the t-shirt below – do you think it looks great as is, or do you think they should take out the “W.W.W.” (which stands for, as you can see at the bottom of the shirt, “We came, We saw, We kicked it’s ass!”
Chime in in the comments below – please, say yea or nay to the WWW FIRST, then you can go on if you like. Don’t make us dig for your preference.

Without. Replace it with silhouettes of other monsters/ghosts. You don’t need to hit me over the head that there’s W’s.
Take out the WWW for sure. I like the ghost idea.
Without the WWW. The overall design looks better. With the WWW, the composition looks top-heavy. Without it, it’d look more balanced.
WWW off & make the shirt black as well
Nix the WWW.
We all know that really stands for Wicked Witch of the West
nay.
make the guys smaller, have “we came we saw we kicked…” on top of the guys with proton beams around it, put “ghostbusters below the guys
NAY! There are 4 Ghostbusters!! Are people opposed to showing all 4 GBs because they are closet racists or do they just want to believe 3 characters makes for a better design? Either way it’s wrong and stupid
Troy’s Two and Half Cent Studio-Like Notes:
Front of the shirt – keep the silhouettes with the red glow effect in place. Ditch the proton beams. Scrub the rest.
Back of the shirt – in a more subdued font, across the shoulders, put in the copy “We came… we saw…” leave the rest implied. And play up the fact that people seeing you walking away from them were left in the path… I know the title treatment probably has to be on there for licensing purposes so why not put it on the cuff of the sleeve?
Well, remove the apostrophe from it’s! It’s not a contraction of ‘it is’!
Definitely take out the W.W.W
Also spelling; ‘it’s’ should be ‘its’ I also think it might be ‘we’ve kicked its ass’
NAY
without the W’s. and get rid of that apostrophe in “it’s” because it isn’t being used in the right context. it makes it look non-legit
Nay. Remove the WWW.
My first thought went to wrestling, which is not what I want in a Ghostbusters shirt.
The rest of the design is very nice though!
Indifferent. Cool either way. I want one!!!!
I don’t mind the WWW, but I def agree there should be four ghostbusters and ditch the proton streams.
Definitely without the W.W.W.
Also agree with everyone on “it’s”, should be “its”.
yea
Nay to the w.w.w.
I understand that Winston wasn’t in the picture at this point in the… picture, but it would be nice to see ALL four Ghostbusters a bit more. Regardless of who made it into the original poster.
Nay to the WWW, but I’m totally digging on the colors, font, graphic, and the “ass kicking” theme.
agreed, the WWW looks dumb. take it out. could be replaced with something else but get rid of the WWW. and when Venkman says that line, Winston had not yet joined them, so I understand his being left out (this art is also recycled from the energy drink)
Nay to the WWW. And agree about the change to “its”
I’m typically not a fan of text on shirts in any shape or form, unless it’s all about the text specifically. I’d like the shirt just as a silhouette; no glow, no particle beam, and certainly no WWW. (That font is too cartoony for my liking regardless). – And smaller guys please. They’re frickin’ mammoth. (A lot can be said about subtlety).
Nay.
Nay. Remove the “W.W.W.”, from a glance it looks like the start of a website address, and as the phrase was never abbreviated to that, it seems odd to try start it as a trend now.
Otherwise, a pretty nice design. The red glow gives it a kind of energy.
NAY to the WWW.
It’s redundant, has nothing to do with the film (was never shortened to WWW), and people will think it means World Wide Web.
Also, good catch on the apostrophe error, guys.
Yea to the WWW.
It’s a well known text for one thing (web) but the switch up to something else makes it funny to a more broad audience (lose the weak streams though).
Remove that, and it’s just another Ghostbuster shirt without anyone taking a second look as to what’s on the shirt.
nay “WWW”
nay “ghostbusters”, we already know what it is referring to
nay to the apostrophe
Without the WWW, for the love of Gozer.
Also, the font seems a little on the corny side. Like something you’d find on a shirt in a gift shop outside of some National Park (Ithaca is Gorges, harr harr).
Nay to the WWW. Not EVERYTHING in this world needs to be abreviated!
Also I think the red glow and the over all effect looks great. Keep it how it is just nix the WWW. Also, shouldn’t Ray’s silhouette be holding the trap? after all he’s the one who exited the ballroom with it. And to evilvenkman the Gb’s aren’t racist it’s just Winston didn’t join them until later in the movie, do your homework. Ray, Venkman and Spengler caught slimer.
The “WWW” has to go… It doesn’t fit.
And agreed that it should be spelled “its”
I like the WWW
Lose the streams, fix the “its”. I want one.
For the love of tits, does everything have to be about supposed racism?
And no WWW. I thought they were busting the Internet.
Remove the WWW; at first glance, it seemed like a web url. Replacing it with outlines of ghosts sounds better like many have suggested.
I don’t like the W.W.W. it looks silly! needs to be dropped from the shirt! and though Jenn makes a good point about Winston not being a part of the team when Venkman says this famous line in the movie I have to say I’m tired of all the officially licensed merchandise not having all 4 Ghostbusters! Of all the Ghostbusters movies, comics, cartoons and much more Winston isnt a part of the team only for about 35 minutes of the first movie. WINSTON IS A GHOSTBUSTER!!! START INCLUDING ALL 4 GHOSTBUSTERS!!! without all 4 busters I WILL NOT be purchasing this shirt.
Negative on the “WWW.”
Also, I agree with previous posters about not having four GBs on the shirts. Just use the poster for GBII, it will still look just as cool with the silhouettes.
i don’t mind the WWW, but on the thumbnail i thought it stood for what would Winston do
Take it off.
Change the WWW to ghosts as the WWW is definitely for wrestling, put the “We Came, We saw, We kicked its ass” on the back, and add in Winston!!! Come on!! Where is Winston???!! This is a 4-man group, not 3!!
Otherwise its a very awesome shirt!!
I say no WWW at the top! I think it’s an awesome shirt otherwise and would buy in a heartbeat!
Who could believe so many would get so excitable over someone else’s fantasy tee shirt!?
Well @Troy…I’m ready to believe you…
but keep the proton beams, in fact hi-light them with reflective piping.
nay, not without Winston.
How do you know the guy in the middle isn’t Winston? Looks like it could be Winston. Maybe it’s Winston.
well, its still a 4-man team! Where’s the other guy?
I agree with Ecto2z… if (but doubtful)one of the busters on this t is Winston the Ghostbusters are a 4-man team!! I would like all 4 Ghostbusters on the shirt if I’m going to purchase it.
I agree. I am getting tired of Winston being left out of so much. The guy was in BOTH movies plus the cartoon. He is part of the team. They couldn’t even add him to the energy drink can.

“How do you know the guy in the middle isn’t Winston? Looks like it could be Winston. Maybe it’s Winston.”
Maybe it’s Gozer?
“It’s a girl…
…It’s Gozer.
…I thought Gozer was a man.
…It’s whatever it wants to be. “
Nay
Not to be a prude, but I really hate that it has a cuss word on it…not that I don’t say that word a million times a day, but there’s some sort of white trash barrier that you cross by owning a shirt with one on it. I love the idea of this shirt, but would never own it as is.
Whatev with Winston. I love him and I love Erine and if I were to choose between a shirt with the three of them and the four, I’d pick the four…but the first film really is about the three of them, as well as this seems to be a take on the classic movie poster image/pose.
…also Ernie wasn’t in the film at the the point the line was said
We came…We saw…We kicked it’s ‘posterior’??? My ASS!
Political correctness tee shirt fail!
