Are there no purple or pink Woot shirts because the voters are homophobic?

I'm really tired of adding shades of blue and green to my t-shirt collection. I saw a red shirt the other day, but I didn't care for the design. We need more color options people!!!

And yet it could be something as simple as... a lot people just don't like purple or pink. Personally, I prefer black. ...oh, oh. O_O

The reason is that they have a specific palette of shirt blanks for the artists to design on. Currently, they are:

Black, Brown, Asphalt, Slate, Silver, Navy, Royal Blue, Baby Blue, Olive, Grass Green, Kelly Green, Red, Cranberry, Lemon, Creme, and White.

Retired colors are Heather Gray and Orange.

Pink has been used before - Mon Petit Chou and the Woot logo shirts. It's not available for any other artist, however. Ditto with the Teal blanks.

@gmwhit Or how about yellow. Not everyone can get away with a yellow shirt either. I'd feel like a banana or Charlie Brown or something.

@narfcake Word. Nice answer!

I'm just personally offended that they'll make aprons and hoodies, but not the holiday loincloth a suggested about 500 times.

@mikecris: I just tie a few of the flying monkeys together to make my holiday loincloth.

I think the selection could do with a deep purple, like the forest green. Pink has less of a shot, not (just) because it's stereotypically a feminine color but because it's very light. The white and yellow shirts almost never sell well; dark colors just do better.

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
