What...the...eff? This is the THIRD military green shirt in a week. You do realize that's a vomit worthy color and only the awesomeness of kill bill an Mario could combine to make anyone buy a shirt, right?
Seriously, that color is horrendous an now it's overused. I applaud less black shirts but this is worse.
I am quite the X-Men fan, and I love the idea of this shirt, but the colour's not for me. It's a bit of a gross green...if it was a nice blue, like Mystique blue, then that would've been an insta-buy for me. On another note, I LOVE the Floo network shirt!
Nicely done! At first I thought it was "Mutton and Proud" and was wondering if it was some sort of weird homage to Animal Farm. Then I put my glasses on. :)
BTW, I do like army green. I'd take that over red any day.
Speaking of red, I would love to see "My Patronus is a Wookiee", but NOT on a red shirt. That would be insta buy for me.
The idea is good but the execution isn't good enough. If the & was in the center of the DNA strand I'd be interested or if it was just Mutant Pride" I'd be interested in buying it too but the "Mutant X & Proud" makes the design feel lopsided. At first glance I was all excited to buy it because I originally saw Mutant X Pride not Mutant X & Proud. Nonetheless, good luck with the sales.

Actually, TeeFury, I need you to start slacking in the awesome. I cant afford to buy your shirts for a little while. Just go on a Star Wars / Dr. Who / Firefly kick again. Then, even if they're crazy awesome, I won't care enough to buy them!
i like the idea, and i loved the movie. but since it's such a strong metaphor for homosexuality, and i'm not TobiasFunke (i am an advocate for TobiasFunke rights but still), i think i'd feel weird wearing it. and as others have said, the color could be better.
Cool.
Not as an X-men reference, but because it is true.
Every one of us has some mutations.
Unfortunately they don't tend to lead to super powers.
Fortunately the vast majority are harmless
I need those 'Floo Network' and 'My Patronus is a Wookie' shirts like burning.
This I would buy if it didn't have the & before 'proud', seems a bit superfluous with the double helix already breaking up the design. I love the military green color.
I'm a HUGE X-Men fan but whoever did this clearly isn't or whoever chose it doesn't get it either. Since when has any X colors been army green ? Yellow, blue and black. Very simple to understand. AND this is not a line I would have chosen as a franchise fan. Teefury, I am saddened as an X-Men fan.
The one line said in the X-Men movie by a blue character to a blue character . . . and you print it on puke green? For God's Sake, why? You could have had the text/image be red and the background blue to represent Mystique or even done the traditional X-Men colors of Blue & Gold. Anything but Puke Green.
I'd buy this in an instant if it was offered in a size that worked for me. Great, great design and a total shame that I can't purchase. Really clever idea to make the X into a strand of DNA.
Personally, I like the color. I'm not much of a bright colored tee type, earth tones are more my thing. Besides, when was the last time any of you guys puked and it was military green?
Love the fact it's X-Men, but not keen on the shirt. The colours look awvful together, and it's not the most inventive design. I'll be on the lookout for a better X-Men shirt though!
Question: Who chooses the colors for the shirts offered here? Is it team teefury or the artists? I just counted and in the last month there were FiVE instabuys for me that were not bought because of (IMO) poor color choices. This shirt is one of them. Those weren't the only ones either, i.e.: the Buffy shirt 2 days ago. I really hate missing out on a shirt because somebody doesn't realize an X-Men shirt probably should be blue and yellow, not olive and white. If it is the artists choice, perhaps they don't want to sell their shirts for $10. Preferring to whet your appetite and hope you'll buy the shirt from say, redbubble. As if I would ever buy another shirt from them. Their amateurish screening process is a slight improvement over the iron-ons I used as a kid. Sorry for ranting, but PLEASE get it together on the shirt colors.

I agree with many of the others here. This would have been an instabuy on another color, but as it is I'll probably end up buying this shirt elsewhere so that I can get it on a better color.
Not the biggest fan of X-Men so it's not a buy for me but I love the fact your from Glasgow. At last someone represents us Scots! Also I love the Angry Rebels t shirt! That would be an insta buy over and over again!

Dude, check out my RedBubble.com page then, I've got a mash-up design that is made for us Scots... : )
I'd buy both the Floo Network and the My Patronus is a Wookie in no time!!!!
This one, even thought I liked the Xmen movie, is a no go for me. I do agree the color is not the best one, but I think it goes great with the print this time.

stevencohen7 said: Awesome - go Avengers! wanna see more avenger type shirts! gonna buy 2!
*sigh* The X-Men are no part of the Avengers. Later on, a few individual ones have joined, but mutants don't really have anything to do with the Avengers, which primarily started as Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Ant Man, and the Wasp.
Did you know red hair is caused by a mutation in the gene that causes hair and skin pigmentation? Therefore all gingers are mutants. I'm a ginger and I also like X-Men, so this is just about perfect :-)
I really wanted a First Class shirt, and it's cool idea and all but it's a little too simple for me. i'd really like a shirt with xavier and erik on it.

teefury picks the colors. most of the time they do a decent job IMO. Today I grant it's not the best choice but it can be tough to keep a variety of colors and make everyone happy.
I "like" this shirt, but I would "love" it if it had less text and/or more graphics. However, that's just my opinion, though, and that doesn't mean it's a bad shirt, it just means I'm not sure if I'll buy it... I'll have to think on it for a few hours before I decide.
P.S. - I do, however, LOVE the hidden "X" in the DNA strand (that's an elegant and creative touch to an otherwise (somewhat) bland shirt...)
Anyway, enough of my criticisms and negative attitude; I really don't enjoy negativity, so I should (probably) stop and let the rest of you enjoy this shirt. (LOL :P )
Copped! Great design! The X-Men always work together with a certain kind of military strategy, so to me the color choice is perfect!! Teefury, please make that A-Team At-At shirt happen!!!!!
It was inspired by the excellent X-Men: First Class. The 'Mutant & Proud' message is a bit of a recurring theme and I thought it would look cool as an almost political style logo... with a subtle X motif hidden through it.
Where are you from?
Glasgow, Scotland
How did you get started designing t-shirts?
I need to get all the little random doodles and characters that I think of out my head, otherwise it gets a little crowded in there. Some of the sketches wound up on flickr and tumblr and the like. A few people commented that they'd make cool tees... and I've just kinda found myself doing it.
What advice would you offer to aspiring designers?
I always just try to design stuff that I like, and would wear myself. So i'd recommend doing that, not trying to design stuff that you 'think' people want... i think that's a road to disappointment. Once you've got something you like, stick it online and try and get it seen by as many people as possible through the likes of flickr, tumblr etc. If you design it, they will come... eventually.
What would be your dream job?
This tee designing game is pretty good fun - maybe just this on a much bigger scale.
What is your favorite thing about the X-Men?
I like how creative some of them are with their powers. Torturing someone by twisting the fillings inside their teeth? Sheesh. Being able to chill a pals warm beer? Cheers. It's not all just about saving the world, they have their day to day uses too...
What would your ideal house be like?
It'd have a lot of space for t-shirts... i'm seriously running out of space for all the ones i've got. It would also probably in Toronto.
If you had a mutant power, what would it be?
It's a common one, but I'd really like the ability to freeze time. That way I could get all the things done that I try to cram into my day to day... If that one turns out to be too big for me, or i'm not responsible enough ( you know, with the great power/responsibility thing) The ability to instantly take my designs out my head and put them out in the world would be awesome.
What was your favorite as a kid: comics, cartoons, or movies? Was there a specific title you liked most of all?
As a kid, cartoons and movies. I guess I liked all the usual ones for a guy my age - ThunderCats, Transformers, GhostBusters, TMNT, M.A.S.K, He-Man, Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends... ah memories...
What are a few of your favorite websites?
SuperPunch, ToplessRobot, ComicsAlliance and Shirtoid are all very inspiring and worth checking out on a daily basis.
Any shout outs?
The RBC - a new online collective i'm a member of. Hopefully we'll have a lot more designs heading the TeeFury way. Oh, and Prof X, who I share my birthday with. And hairstyle.
