Your P&T Rooster-Drawing Contest Submissions: Vote or Die!

PrintUpdate: I will close this poll at noon on Tuesday. If #4 and #16 are still super close (let's say...within 20 votes), then we'll have a head-to-head re-vote. If not, then the winner will be declared at noon.
The day has come, brethren. A few weeks ago, I asked you to submit designs for a t-shirt honoring the great Danilo Gallinari. I half expected that the contest would be a flop, but the turnout really blew me away. Just to refresh, here's the contest:
Send in a t-shirt design featuring a drawing of a rooster and the words "Il Gallo" (as that is Gallinari's nickname, which translates to "The Cock" and, well, a cock-drawing contest wouldn't sound very good). The rooster and writing can be in any style you like, though I'm picturing something either sort of cartoony or, alternatively, a very lifelike, anatomically-correct picture. If you'd like to give the rooster some attributes suggestive of Danilo (make it shooting a basketball, give it a fauxhawk, throw in a number 8, draw it in this pose), you are welcome to do so.
Now is your chance to help pick the winner. Voting will work this way: Gian, Osborn, and myself will each have a single vote. The P&T community poll, which will be open for the next day or so, will count for two votes. Tie goes to the community. Pretty simple, right?
The artist behind the winning design (entrants will be kept anonymous for now) will win a free t-shirt and have his or her shirt put up for sale in the P&T store for all of y'all to purchase.
Because of weird formatting, the poll appears before the jump on the front page, but you should obviously vote once you've taken the jump and seen all of our entries. Please really consider the questioned posed before you vote, because a lot of people put a lot of work into these sexy-ass roosters.
Photos have been shrunk down so I could fit them all, but click any of them to get a larger look. Entrant numbers are on the bottom left of each photo. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns (or any trouble loading the page or any of the images. I'm worried about that.) in the comments.
Thanks so much to everybody who submitted. Good luck and may the best cock win!

hmmm
First and foremost i applaud all yall (who are to remain nameless) for submitting these pics.
Now this is not to be taken as a BOO, but I lol’d at # 7, 11, and 12.
That said, I like #4, but he looks a little too happy in the face.
# 2 is classic..rep’s the knicks well
#16 is abstract but somehow i like it
- is by far the most artistic..id put it on my shirt. But will there be any color highlight to the “il gallo”?
"they try to do what he do, and been where he's been, but they get folded in two.....he's the dude"
the last one
was supposed to be #19
"they try to do what he do, and been where he's been, but they get folded in two.....he's the dude"
when we pick a design
i think i’ll work with the winner to pick what color shirts the design should go on and if any colors should be added or changed in the original design.
voted 16
"they try to do what he do, and been where he's been, but they get folded in two.....he's the dude"
4 just looked a lil too
fem in the face
"they try to do what he do, and been where he's been, but they get folded in two.....he's the dude"
I promised him my vote
#4!! Its actually the best one up there so it wasn’t hard to keep my promise. Nice work though people!

yeah
i think 4 and 13 were the coolest. 16 was cool too though
15
has the shooting form down nice. 2 got my vote though because you don’t mess with the cock.
Regardless, these are all really good and a thousand times better than anything I could draw.
I am a Real American...
2, 10, 16 all rock
4 is pretty good, but he’s a little goofy in the face.
Strangely, my favorite would be #13 if there was an orange #8 tattooed on that bird
"Game Knows Game"
4 got my vote
nicely done
If you're a real Yankee fan, please do the rest of us a favor and splurge the extra cash on a replica jersey without a last name on the back. Frankly, it's embarassing.

Assume 2 ends up being blue with the orange
That’ll probably get my vote. Tough call, though. 4 and 18 are sweet
My name's Gus Johnson; I get buckets.
4 and 16...
…are to sexy for my shirt. But I had to go with 4. It had the pose from the Roy Hibbert dunk for pete’s sake!
Bonita Applebum, you gotta put me on.

That's a low bar to clear
I mean, those guys land Avery Johnson to coach and their head swells up like they’re Jason Kidd’s son
Where is my submission?
at least for the work i put into it. And its definitely better then all of these
Somebody must've gassed ya team
thinkin you can outrun, outlast Gang Green
Hey, Seth's out right now.
I let him know that he may have missed one, and he’ll check and double-check and triple-check when he gets home.
We know you guys all put a lot of work into these, and I really hope none of them was left off.
It is close, when do the polls close?
"they try to do what he do, and been where he's been, but they get folded in two.....he's the dude"
you gotta leave 'em open
until #3 wins. this is a travesty.

No no no,
I promised the guy who made 4 that he would get my vote, i think its the best anyway. I would say his name but we aren’t revealing the illustrators just yet.

first of all props to everybody
even the “bad” drawings had such great ideas that they were worth looking at. awesome job.
with that said, i think a lot of voters looked at this contest the wrong way. it’s not about the best drawing (which 4 and 16 are definitely contenders for), it’s about the best shirt. i voted for #2 since it still has a prayer of making the comeback, but i think #10 might actually be the play here – interesting design on the ONLY shirt that reps P&T explicitly.

i didnt vote for #7
but it is by far the funniest
Voting
We’re only voting once, right? It’s not like a certain number advances to another round of polling…?
I really like No. 4 ...
… but I’m kinda mortified by his prodigious bulge.

how come the walt clyde phraser shirt keeps goin up and down in price???it was like 16 a couple weeks ago now its up to 19.65…i gots to cop it
Given the dispersal I think Seth should take the top maybe 3 vote getters and have us vote for them head-to-head.
ugh alot of them are bad
- #4 #16 are the best
my fav was #4 but #2 has the old school Knicks look to it while #16 has the modern look to it
I would rock either one
thats a tough choice
honestly if I could buy 2 of them it would be #4 and #16 but I really like #2 as well - is the one I would buy because you can draw a giant cack with a black sharpie to hang down between his legs hahahahahaha
Dude this was magical
I sent the link out to many a people, just because i was proud to be somewhat associated with people with amazing sense of humors and artistic sense!!! i voted number 4, but it was tought
yeah for sure
i had trouble voting for 4 or 16
thats tough
I chose 4 but man 16 looks tight too right
I say a March Madness style vote system
final 4 final 4 final 4!
should be a tourney vote system
like top 3 or 4 go into a final vote
it would make it easier right instead of choosing between 19 you got 3 or 4
props to all who did this
took time out of your day to create something
props on that because art is hard to create
the Lire is tight too
man Im diggin that now looking at it
I think if more people knew what a Lire was it would be more popular
that was is really fresh too
I voted 2
I liked others for pure artistry but 2 seemed the most “t-shirt”y. I like 4 too.
Ryan Miller was the true MVP.
I really hate Jerry.
4 & 6 are nice
4 – needs to be meaner though
6 – is nice just needs some color
7 cracks me up – best one in my opinion!!! at least for originality! lol

11 OR 17
are the funniest
17 is just having his arms wide open to express the big Cock above him
i mean it is written in big font so a big Cock is necassary to have his arms extended like that right
11 just gets down to the point the cock has balls
or #16's face on #4's body

I wish I had multiple votes
14, 15, & 19 are serious works of art. I’d be proud to wear any of them (along with my own design, of course…). 14 has those great textures and the cool grade school script. 15 has a real expressionist feel to it. And 19 combines the name and the drawing so flawlessly. Awesome work folks!
To whoever did 15, you really got Gallo's stroke down.
That high leg, the hands angled just so…
not to be an asshole
but #4 looks like a cheap design that someone would spraypaint on a shirt and try to sell to you at the seaside boardwalk

I loved both 4 and 16
and I figured “well my one vote wont change anything, lets just randomly go with 16.” As it stands 16 is up by 1. Can we ask 4 and 16’s artists if they would combine the 2? Just change the pose and head to 16 and keep the same jersey, background, and body type from 4
Wow, great pics
Haha, that’s great. I voted #4 but I too would like to see some sort of hybrid #4 and #16 haha
Kick his ass Sea Bass
All were great attempts and look really fun to create but,
2 & 4 are the few that I might actually see myself wearing. Is there a restriction on using quotes? I vote that we’ve got to use the “If people don’t think I’m a good player, then they’re stupid” line regardless of the winner! On the back of the shirt preferably. I say it a lot in my really shitty Italian accent.

Also
10 & 19 are wearable as well. 19 just needs some color.

A lot of creativity balanced with a lot of shit
I laughed at a few of these (12 anyone? Dunkin on the “King” even!). I don’t know what the deal is with 16… its creative in a South Park way, but on a shirt??
I love how some of these look like they were clearly done in a classroom too.
In the end I dug the artistry behind 3 and 19 (everyone spot the Ill Gallo on the top?)
I cast my vote for 2 (though almost 4). Both of these seemed TShirt ready. 2 reminds me of the simplicity of the Knicks logo and its just sharp and not comical.
4 is pretty sharply constructed too and a very Gallo-esque pose. I chose to avery my eyes from said ‘bulge’ too. Only on Posting & Toasting does this fly. Its pretty hilarious. We are some filthy bastards.
But really… 2 is pretty sweet and if the tinkerign that may be done to the winner to make the t-shirt, I think 19 would look fantastic if the face and lower feathers were done in orange and the il gallo on the head in royal blue. I’d rock that shirt everywhere.

gotta give it up for #2
simple and classic design. if the “#8” could be changed to be in the same typeface as “Il Gallo” below it would be perfect.
