Once again, to empower the ranks of Emerican youth, we posted a T-shirt template here on the site for you to print out and draw the most creative Emerica T-shirt graphic you could muster.
We received at least a couple of thousand entries total via email and snail mail, sifted through them all, thinned out the herd, and came up with these three winning beauties—all lovingly and painstakingly designed by you ever-creative Kids!
To give them props, each winner’s name, age and hometown is screen-printed on the inside bottom cuff of each shirt. Also, we have to display the graphics much bigger on the shirt than they actually are in real life, or else you wouldn't be able to see 'em here on the site.

Jose S., age 17, of Cainta, Rizal, Phillippines

Timothy N., age 19, of Cobourg, Ontario, Canada

Licata G. (aka Yardz), age 22, of Beigem, Belgium
Each winner receives three pairs of Emerica shoes of their choice and five T-shirts bearing their winning design—not to mention full bragging rights for designing a T-shirt graphic that will be included in an official future Emerica Apparel line.
We’d sincerely like to thank everyone who entered the Emerica Design-A-Tee 5 contest. We had a blast sorting through all of your designs. Stay tuned for Design-a-Tee 6 coming sooner than you think.

Wow those are prob the best shirts Iv seen the contest come out with, there fuckin amazing.
the cat tee pwns all
THOSE ARE GAY!!! i could live with the first one but what does a kitten have to do with Emerica?!?! And birds kissing, I should have entered mine.
The kitty T-shirt is the best I want to by that shirt
Fuck the cat.
The last one is tight.
ALL OF THOSE ARE TURD THEY SHOULD HAVE PUT A PILE OF HUMAN SHIT ON A SHIRT WITH EMERICA ON IT
WHAT THE FUCK!?! FUCK THE PERSON WHO MADE A CAT DESIGN!
these are way better than some of the past winners. props to emerica for chosing some good designs
the black tee is tight man yeah i would buy it
Those shirts are absolutely horrible, you picked the wrong three I wouldn't wear any one of those but the first one. And the shirt with the cat on it is the gayest design I have ever seen, Emerica has nothing to do with cats....or birds. Retards.
i dont really like any of the 3, but if i had to choose id pick the first and last
SHIT MINE WAS WAY BETTER THAN THEM, I MUST OF SENT IT WRONG OR SOMETHING!!! BUT THEY R QUITE THOUGH
hey the first and the last ones are prettty good but ..... to me isay the cat ain't shit lol
no seriously its not so bad but what emerica has do to with cats?!?!!?
SHIT!?!?!?
the cat one is gay as anything , and the the drippy emerica is alright..
the first one is mad rad though..
cant wait for the next contest again.......
when does the new contest start ? ? ?
there are all these people dissing the disigns but they didnt win so the y dont have a right
tards
but dude the first one is probably the sickist ass shirt i have ever fuckin seen
The first one is kickass!!! Fuck the cat, Emerica has nothing to do with cats.
...the cat is my favorite one. emerica has nothing to do with anything! if you're gonna say it doesn't have anything to do with cats then you better say what does hubba wheels have to do with women's body parts and fancy cars? what does enjoi have to do with blowjob ads? what does mark appleyard have to do with globe?
the black one is the best by fare, the white one is average and the red one is ok but random
how can u email emerica about stuff
what the fuck? these are disgusting. the first one was pretty good but the cat and the birds? those are gay.the first tee should have been black or somehting.
hey, I'm Jose S., thanks for all the comments, I really appreciate them
SK8DESTROYER: the shirts may be produced by Emerica in a different color... i saw an original design in a previous design-a-tee in yellow and now emerica has it in green
That cat one sucks ass whoever buys that shirt is a queer. The first one is sick and the third one is decent..but the only one worth spending money on is the first.
Not trying to be mean byt what does the cat have to do with anything its nice but my shirt said I (with a skateboard)Emerica with the logo on it
taa; Pretty sure from a girls point of view. I want that mafuckin Cat shirt!
the first one is pretty good
yeah
1st one nice. The others 2 so gay. Who te hell wants to skate displaying a little cat image or 2 gay birds kissing.
freakin true
loll the 2 other are so gay
the bird and the cats
not so bad
those shirts r not so good
the only one i could ever imagine myself, or anyone else tearing it up in is the first one - who the fuck wants to skate with a cat or a bird on their shirt?? not me
the first one is ok the kitty one is sweet but that last one is gay its too famous stars and straps for me in other words its too bro i dont think these choices were very good because i dont think i shouldve lost to these people.
its seems as if you put some huge picture that covers the whole shirt then you win LAME
the cat one is fucking gay, there had to be a better design to pick. I like the first one, the bird one is kind of random, but overall a good design. the best is definetly the first though.
first one is slick as hell, second one is pointless, third one is whatever
That bottom one is just a generic tattoo with a completely overused logo with some blood dripping from the birds.
i like that last 1. when will these b on sale???
In my opinion, The first one by Jose S is one of the best Design a Tee winners ive seen yet. So many shitty stupid shirts out there these days and this ones pretty tight. I like it, give the kid lots of shoes!
the first one is the sickest, second one..what the fuck??... and the last one is ok.
I was gonna send in a picture of Calvin peeing on the emerica logo and getting shocked, but I thought it would create copywright problems...the first design is sweet though.
OMG!!!!!!!! A KITTY CAT, im def. buyin #1, that sick, I find it odd that with a team called emerica, none of the winners are from America.
these all are puke I wouldn't wipe my ass with any of them they all suck assdickholes
id rock all those shirts
THE KITY ONE IS SO RANDOM
it's time for design a tee 6!!
That first one is the best!
All epic, good job guys.
the first one i would buy.
i have the last one
pretty good
whats up gss sweet ts
The cat one is just a screen shot of a cat with text and the emerica logo screened on a shirt, good job on picking a winner who puts effort in their work....
1st one is flippin' awesome
second one is amazing
THE FIRST ONE, AND THE RED ONE WITH THE CAT ARE PROBALLY THE COOLEST SKATE SHIRTS IVE EVRER SEEN
