Bold, simple, and honest, the Lousy Kickstarter T-Shirt project promises nothing special, and yet may offer the greatest reward ever to the many Kickstarter enthusiasts out there. David Goldklang, a visual designer from Oakland, California (and creator of Vanda Playing Cards), has designed a t-shirt that reads “I backed a Kickstarter project and all I got was this lousy t-shirt.” Anyone who has backed a project on the popular crowdfunding website will immediately see the humor in this shirt and most who have seen the design so far have been found chuckling out loud.
Currently available only in black, there is hope that with enough interest more color options will become available. Kickstarter green t-shirts will probably be coming soon. The campaign ends on September 15th.
