Spunky – Glasto Genius in a tent
Thursday, June 19, 2008 12:27Mikey going on about Glastonbury reminded me of something. An excellent T-shirt brand that regularly produces the cool’n’funky (and oftentimes, muddy) kind of tees that Glastonites revel in. The company in question is Spunky and I nipped over to their website to see what they had on offer.
And actually, I was deeply disappointed. Not in their tees, but in their site. When I buy a T-shirt I want to see the T, not some artist’s impression of the garment. So having drooled over a truly spectacular bit of artwork on a friend’s bod, (the bod wasn’t bad either) it was a bit of a comedown to go to the site and find this:
it’s a minging little image, and you cannot tell what it’s of, even.
Okay, when you roll over the image you get to see a proper sized version, but as soon as you roll off, you’re back to this bit of artwork:
Nice enough design, but showing a graphic hardly tells you how the T-shirt looks in reality (take my word for it, it looks good) and that’s not gonna get my money out of my pocket, I can tell you! So ‘full marks’ to Spunky for manning and womaning a great marquee at Glastonbury and definitely a ‘could do better’ on the selling their gear on the net front.

Spunk used to great, in the late 90′s/early 2000s. Now they’ve lost the plot. I’ve had this shirt since 2002/2003 maybe, which shows you how quickly they’re churning out new designs. I think they just promote other brands now instead, including the really great yummy belts.
