The 3 winning designs: (L-R) Tunku,

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.
