The 2021 Shiftee Awards

It was a pretty stacked grid in 2021, full of top-qualifying tees just waiting for the green flag to drop. Thanks to our new and loyal submitters and their race-ready designs, we've been able to showcase quite the variety of makes, models, and themes across the hundreds of published tees throughout the year. When it comes to the FTD though, these works deserve a special shout-out, and a Golden Torso for their creators.

Staff Picks From the Year

There are few vehicles that haven’t been given the BS tee treatment at some point, so what really excites is the abnormal. Here’s an aesthetic we had never seen before, and while a fine art and Volvo mashup may be obscure, it’s a perfect example of the “secret handshake” that makes up some of our most endearing designs. If you get it, you get it!

I couldn’t not pick this. Pretty much my introduction to driving as a kid. Just the right kind of nostalgia and cool factor for this design. Literally brought me back decades to playing with one of these.

This one subtly makes a statement about the chronic underperformance of the red cars.

Big important wheels WON’T got stuck!

-Joe

I really enjoyed working on coming up with the new color concepts for this design and I love what we ended up going with it in the end. It was already a strong design now just a lil more jazzed up.
