The 3 winning designs: (L-R) Tunku, Tanahairku, and Multiplayer. 

What is #teesomethingnice?

The above designs has been created by 3 local designers for the #teesomethingnice initiative. The project came about from the #SaySomethingNice campaign. The nationwide campaign encourages truce and wishes to showcase the best side of our nation during the 17-day period between Hari Merdeka and Hari Malaysia.   

As part of the campaign, Hasnul Hadi Samsudin (Malaysian animator for the Academy Award-winning movie Life of Pi) and Shamsul Jafni Shafie (co-founder of WatchTower & Friends) started the #teesomethingnice initiative. The idea behind the project is to crowd-source awesome and cool designs from local designers based on the theme 'being Malaysians and Malaysia'. The t-shirt designs will then be printed, where Malaysians can then wear the t-shirts not only during the #SaySomethingNice campaign period, but all year round.


Why are the t-shirts unique?

#teesomethingnice is about using aspects of Malaysia and the Malaysian way of life, interpreting them into designs that Malaysians or for that matter, anyone who loves Malaysia would love to wear. Be it on a lazy Sunday or on your way to have that roti canai at your favourite hangout or any other day - you just cannot go wrong wearing and carrying the messages implied in the t-shirts.

Based on those criteria, the #teesomethingnice team received 43 t-shirt designs from many local designers. The designs were presented and judged by a panel of 3 judges, namely, writer and activist, Datin Paduka Marina Mahathir, Media Prima's CEO of Television Networks, Ahmad Izham Omar, and tv personality and head of Kakiseni, Low Ngai Yuen.

The panel of judges: (L-R) Ahmad Izham Omar, Datin Paduka Marina Mahathir, and Low Ngai Yuen.

After a deliberation session at Solaris Mont Kiara, the panel of judges selected 3 designs (as shown earlier on) for the project. The selected designs are the brainchild of Tintoy Chua, Faros Amzas, and Arif Rafhan respectively. Each designs carry with it a specific and personal message that the designers wish to convey to fellow Malaysians.

The #teesomethingnice initiative is teaming up with t-shirt specialist, SaltyCustoms. The t-shirts will be printed on Gildan T-Shirt and printed by SaltyCustoms. Various sizes are available for both male and female cut.

Apart from the t-shirts, #teesomethingnice will also be offering other types of merchandise like oval stickers and posters, which will correspond to the t-shirt designs. On top of that, the team is also working on one-of-a-kind plaque to celebrate the project. The plaque will not be reproduced again. It will be great for corporate offices, but will suit home setting just as fine.
