Estimates are now being reported that the death toll from China's earthquake is expected to exceed 50,000. 50,000 lives. 50,000 shirts. 50,000 people supporting a cause. Help by being one of the fifty thousand to raise $1,000,000.00 The "x" in the design is made up of 50,000 individual tally marks. Each one representing a life lost and another life that chose to give to the cause. Each tee will be individually numbered. http://www.fiftythousandshirts.com

50,000 individual marks if you did one mark every half a second it would still take 6 hours and 56 minutes 4549

Damn, that is really great. Numbering them out of 50,000 is a good idea, too. You might want to get in touch with Red Cross about it? They're big, and could potentially help you with all of your goals on this. 4549

Heya, great concept - heeding your call for crit. though, I reckon the typo needs a little finessing. At the moment the boxes with the symbols (and the symbols themselves) are not aligned with anything. I think if they were centered it'd really tighten things up. I really like the subtlety of the black shirt :) 4549

Just to totally hijack your shirt and concept..I wonder whether just having "fifty thousand" either where it is or where the "= hope" would work better? Those two words combined with the imagery pack a lot of punch. BUT I'm not sure whether that still fits in with your concept - so hopefully I am being helpful! 4549

crits welcome! we'll be printing the "x" as big as possible on the front of the shirt (wrapping around the sides and onto the sleeves would definitely be cool). I'll post our current idea for the back soon. Numbers will be done on the same angle as the text on the front, and going on the back left shoulder (at least that the current idea). Crazy how far the project has come in two days. And I certainly appreciate all the help from the Emptee-er to spread the word. 4549

I placed my name on the reserve list, I'm definitely up for supporting the cause. Just saw this on the news this morning so i thought I would ask, the death toll is now up to 51,100 and still climbing. are you planning on adding more marks or are you using 50,000 as a symbolic number? Either way it's still a great idea and cause, I was just curious. 4549
