Posted By: Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum On: 1/28/2009 8:40:20 AM Check out the Champion Hoodie Remix Contest. This might be an opportunity many of your students would be interested in. Hurry! Entries are due on March 31, 2009. From unbeige.com: "Two things we can't get enough of: one-hundred-dollar bills and hooded sweatshirts, and both come in handy at this time of year. Enter Champion, the old-school athletic apparel brand that's making its foray into the Web 2.0 world with a design contest. " Hoodie Remix" challenges you, the hooded sweatshirt-wearing design fan, to create a virtual hoodie with the help of a dizzying array of customizable color and pattern options. (We recommend the Alexander Girard-esque trellis print for a witty lining.) The best design, as chosen by public voting, will be sold as a limited-edition hoodie by Champion, and 13 winners (1 grand prize and 12 semifinalists) will receive gift certificates to buy more hoodies. So go forth and remix a hoodie, but be careful, because we can't be the only ones who once lost an entire afternoon perfecting a pair of Nike iD shoes that we never got around to purchasing. Times flies when you're customizing!"
Posted By: Centennial Middle School On: 1/29/2009 9:43:43 AM I really like this idea. I'm going to try it out if I have time.
Posted By: caroline vanek On: 2/2/2009 9:44:46 AM I think this is a great idea. My students are obsessed with hoodies. However, they are not a part of the uniform, but with this website, the kids could design hoodies for the school. They would love this.
Posted By: Daniel Nelson On: 2/17/2009 7:13:10 PM We recently completed our "Senior Hoodie" design competition. The winning entry will be screen printed on the front of the senior hoodies. Some of my student's have become aware of the possibilities of preprinting the fabric and then cutting and assembling the garment. This competition will provide an opportunity for them to experiment with the whole garment, rather that an 11X11 image.
