I talked to them about it and they were as surprised and intrigued as I was. Apparently they’ve also had this same design for about 1.5 years. Stranger than fiction huh?

Like this is a rip? The “logo” is generic.

“Same same but different!”
To me it looks a little bit too much the same to be a coincidence…
Anyway I’m glad we’re celebrating TWO years of new work :)

what can you say…great minds think alike?

whoa, same colors, same layout kinda, almost same text.

big coincidence

1,5 years means that New Work was already up and running big time. There are way to many similarities to make it a ‘coincidence’. They practicly used the same design, only swapped the colors and added a ‘t’ :-P

But we could see it as a compliment ;-)

And don’t forget about the sliced E!

Anyways… That shirt is f**king lame! Ours rules the New! And that you can quote ;)

I think this is really cool! Let’s reprint our design and spread it around. Who want’s one?

@ Daan: The ‘E’ isn’t sliced in the picture. Anyway, whoever was first, I’d prefer new work above a new t-shirt anyway ;-)

@ Jort I want one!!

I’m sure it’s just a cosmic coincidence, but it’s funny how often that sort of thing happens. For sure they didn’t copy us, they weren’t even aware of our existence til I showed them. Maybe there’s a chance for some kind of contact between New Work and the New Museum? An exhibition in New Amsterdam of Old Amsterdam’s latest? “New Work from Old Amsterdam”?

it is… ;)

And Yes, I can use a New one!

Very good idea mr. Klinkhamer’ I’m feeling it. NewWorkers & affiliates could easily fill an exhibition overseas. Let’s stay in contact with the New Museum.

And yeah, totally down with unit & momkai’s suggestion. :-) Count me in!

@Jort: Yeah. I wanna have a new New Shirt too. Maybe another (different) design as well?

@Tom: I get a Trojan-Downloader error from my Kaspersky virus scanner when going to the site you just linked :-(

Maybe this time for the shirt we should do the “New Shit” idea? Just to keep people on their toes?

Jeah, I bought mine in Turkey too, but it looks a little less fake than these New York museum things: my shirt

I think OUR shirt looks much better.

What about some New Pants? I think it will look great in combo with my New Shirt!

i’d buy one

That’s a great idea Bart! Let’s do a co-op with FREE

I would like to receive a free t-shirt please.

Hmm…gimme that shirt plz :-)
