Is it just me, or are most of these slogans ripped off from www.onemoremile.net?

Suspiciously similar to the Nike technical T I bought my mum from TK Maxx that said "My Race or Your's?"

3rd one very impolite....should be "Your pace or mine" Winners noted underneath the t's!

So they're not even original*.  Can't believe they didn't go for Nipples on Fire.  I might have to make that one myself. 

[edit: *lawsuit, anyone?   ]

Unfortunately my suggestion of "If you can read this, then the b*tch fell off" is A) Unoriginal, and B) Doesn't really work in this context.

Unless it was a piggyback race

I think they're pretty good except for the every run's a winner one.

Is this ' numarketing' for a brand - so subtle you won't even realise it's RW.  Would much prefer an in your face forumite style.

I'm sure that I read better slogans in the competition

Are there going to be TM issues if several of them are already out there?

Joyful
Yeah I have the My Pace or Yours on a Nike top I bought last year after it was advertised in Runners World, I'm sure I've seen the Kick Asphalt before too. I think someone should look into the legalities of printing these before putting them into production!

Nothing original and on a dull t-shirt.  How are you supposed to spot a forumite wearing one of these?  Fetchies and Pirates can be easily identified, even at the London marafun, but anyone wearing one of these will blend into the crowd.  Sorry RW, you've missed a great opportunity.

CStar
Agreed.  RW needs a real style and logo that stands out. Don't be so boringly corporate.

Not out of this world but pretty nice - if you guys can do better why not create a design and post a link.

My pace or yours is such a nike rip off.

could you not have selected original deisgns?

I have the Nike 'My pace or yours?' t-shirt, and these new designs are too obviously 'dorunning'...

All in all a magnificent success.  Sounds like the competition should have been who can plagiarise the best t-shirt.  I'm surprised one of the winners wasn't 'Just do it'.

What about:

My shorts weren't brown when I left the house.

That is funny. They ought to have used it
Posted: 12/05/2010 at 12:35


runningowl

having checked on said slogans, 3 have been used and are still used by t-shirt/sports companies and said slogans have copyright on them.

get ready for a legal fight RW.

There were some really funny slogans in the comp. I doubt that RW would have the balls to use them though. Perhaps we can just make our own.

I submitted the 'my pace' one, and am sure it has been around for ages. I did a whole lot but they probably had to go with ones that were pretty safe and not too edgy. I haven't been told by RW, just saw it online today and am chuffed regardless - I never win competitions!

I thought I was a winner too, mine's number 2, was also delighted as I've never won anything like this before,  but no sign of notification let alone prize yet! Perhaps they just pick people's brains and they were just teasing that there would be a prize!

Did you ever get your prizes? I've been asking RW for ages but only got one tee after a lot of nagging, what a shower pro direct are.
