BKc SF 2yr Anniversary T-Shirt Design Finalists. . . The participation was tremendous for our first annual anniversary t-shirt design contest. We received submissions from as far as Europe to as close as your fellow neighbors, here in SF. It wasn’t an easy decision, but here are our finalists… Audience participation is now encouraged. Here at The Brooklyn Circus, your opinions count; so let’s hear some feedback, or simply just your favorite design(s).
(click ‘More photos’ to see all the designs in more detail)














#2 and #9 are definitely winning; although #9 should have pushed the Golden Gate out front and Brooklyn’s to the back. Just my opinion, though.
~ Esoteric
Some really good choices but I think I’ll have to go with #6.
#9 all day. a little tweeking of the colorway, but #9 gets my vote
I’m voting for #6 —Nicely shaped letters –
Can we vote for three? 5, 8 and 9
The LifeStyle of BKC is represented by many of these designs. However, #8 stands out the most to me. Dress up, Dress down, khakis, jeans, shorts or a good ol’ hood fitted would go great with it.
#3 and #9 got my votes!
Favorite: 8 “Very Mod approach to the expected ‘circus’ feel. Definitely stand out. Could see this doing well in the market.”
Runner up: 1 “The simple fact that the type lock creates an elephant, shoot me, that’s brilliant!”
Still dope: 6 , 11 “If BKc is throwing a Anniversary party, & I wanted to show some support, these would be those shirts”.
Everything else is good, but they all look like vectorized clip art.
Originality is questioned.
OFF TOP! A LOT OF THESE PEACES LOOK LIKE THEY’VE BEEN TAKEN STRAIGHT FROM VECTOR SOURCES. I’M GOING TO HAVE TO GO WITH #8 BECAUSE IT LOOKS THE MOST APPEALING TO ME, AND PROBABLY THE ONLY ONE I’D ROCK. ALSO, ITS STYLE IS SO MUCH LAID BACK FROM BK’S ORIGINAL STYLE; THAT PEOPLE LIKE ME, WHO ENJOY SIMPLICITY AND STEEZ WILL ENJOY BECAUSE NEITHER IS COMPROMISED. “BROOKLYN CIRCUS, SAN FRANCISCO”, ITS STRAIGHT TO THE POINT. THE COLORS CHOSEN COULDN’T HAVE BEEN BETTER. THE NAVY BLUE COMPLIMENTS THE GOLD, WINE & WHITE COLORS. I’D ROCK IT.
#8
First off, congrats to all that entered.
Number 8 has my pick though, especially if the design will be printed on that blue shirt.
Number 6 is the winner. Number 8 is a decent runner-up.
#11 is very BKC but in a modern way. A very fresh take on BKC’s traditional vernacular. That one gets my vote.
But #6 is also very strong in composition. Good typography that doesn’t have to be salvaged by images.
#8
#6 and #8
#6 stuck out to me, then #9. Actually, they’re all good….
Great minds think alike and your minds are as great as mines that means you all will vote for #8 like I would. It stands out because the the rest have that circus feel that we expect. This one is different but still accompanies the Bkc vibe.
I like #8
# 4 and #12 get my vote
8 kill
1 and 8 are dope. Please pick one of them so I can make a purchase!!
#6 is for me
No. 6 is hot!
Love #6!
#6 – I like the fonts use and the spacing well thought of, COOL! Oh and the sleeve crest, uhm! Can be used alone with a blank shirt or on the cap! Good Job!
3, 4, and 12 are the best designs by far, full of BKc spirit. Vector is there to be used and this guy clearly knows how to use it better than some of the others here. I want to buy these T’s!
8 is cool but reminds me of Abercrombie & Fitch, so not that original – sorry.
Good work everyone.
They must of slept on #6, drawn from with a Brooklyn attitude!…NICE!
number 6 is BALLIN!!! i’m tryna get that one now!
I like # 6. it’s fresh looking.
Not to Conglamorate, I do agree that it tis easy on the eyes. Not over done. The type is good.
I vote for # 6
number 4 represent
8 for the win.
Im gonna go with 4. They did a good job on all of them though.
I’m wondering BKcSF staff… will these t-shirts also be available to the online realm? Or maybe the NY staff? I hope the design won’t be only exclusive to the SF store.
And also, what colorways for the shirt that does win did you guys have in mind? Will it only be one shirt, one color…. or more than one shirt with different colorways, etc?
no.4 ELEPHANT MAN! Classic. Characterful. Stylish. Unique.
bad text! sorry ya’ll!
First up. Props to the BKc for putting on this great contest.
Secondly. Congrats to the other finalists. Some inspired artwork.
Thirdly. Thanks to everyone who\’s voted/voting for me. Its great to have unknown friends digging my style.
To Finish. I wouldn’t dream of voting for myself (that would be just, unjust) but similarly I’m not going to vote for anyone else – I want to win!!!! Ha!!!!
11 is doooope.
#8
Hands down 8 is going strong really feeling it there’s too many vectors in here. 8, 11, and 1 are dope hands down.
#5, #8 , #12 got my vote. Either one of those three. But I like how BKC involves the public and their fans to participate. Thats what you call a movement.
Nos. 5 and 12 but my absolute favourite is …… NO. 4 ….. I love it
#9 The bridge is very symbolic of BK & The Bay!
#9 #9 #9
Did I say #9
I love No. 6 its hot
7
3
8
Those are my picks
I’d wear all of them but I’ll go with #7 followed by #3.
I dig #1…. I’ll take it with the graphic in pink and the tee extra fitted
#2 for subtly and on-point BKc style!
#2…please
# 9…….Two iconic bridges……classic…homerun
# 4…..Love the elephant with the hat
