To varing degrees I don't like any of those four t-shirt designs. Yes, some of the designs/concepts are clever, but that doesn't mean they all make for an appropriate & appealing t-shirt. There were so many other designs that were not only more appealing, but also represented and rightfully honored the band's style and image.
This whole contest seems so remotely connected with the band; if it were seriously tied in with the concert tour and the official merchandising, then the contest would have been timed appropriately and the t-shirts would be available at the shows.
They had a chance to bring the merchandise up to a standard above the pedestrian crap they've been shilling for years. These four contenders are bettter than usual, but none of them hit the mark. The one with the birds and penguin on the wire comes close.
