After sorting through over 50 design ideas we have carefully narrowed it down to these 10. This is after all one of the most important decision of the year. Which design will be the next Father’s Day tie and who will win? The winner gets $500 and their tie will be distributed throughout New England for our 2011 Father’s Day promotion. Which means during May and June whenever someone buys a case of Gansett at a package store they will get the tie for free. So the designer also earns bragging rights and some local fame. All these finalists will receive one free case of Gansett. Here are the finalist’s designs. Let us know what you think and make sure you check back for details on a party. We’ll be announcing the winner at a party in early February.
I would have said it’s definitely time to go with a more minimal design than in the past, but I gotta vote for Tina McCurdy’s (upper right). Love the “Hi, Neighbor” treadplating effect.

I’d love the sideways ‘Gansett tie just for the fact that people would turn their heads sideways all day long trying to read it. Nicely done.

Love the Hi Neighbor tie. It’s classy, and friendly and looks like a tie you can wear to the office without annoying your boss. Would get a lot of everyday wear. good luck!

My vote goes to Tina McCurdy’s “Hi Neighbor” treadplating effect.
Posted by: Cara January 11, 2011
Hi Neighbor definitely… think of this, you don’t need to put your beer down to wave and say hello, just show ‘em your tie!
Posted by: Tina January 11, 2011
I like the 3rd one on the 2nd row – the argyle. It’s very clean and tasteful.
Posted by: Kat January 11, 2011
I agree with Cara, love that Hi Neighbor look!
Posted by: Beer Boy January 11, 2011
Top right “hi neighbor” pattern is great!

The Argyle is nice and a lot of people seem to dig it, but I gotta throw a vote in for the Anchors. Great color options and great design… very RI/New England.

I like and appreciate the design of the red tie with the “since 1890″ front and the “peek a boo” black back w/ the clam. Very classic and very much like the hidden surprise at the bottom of a case of Gansett. Great packaging, great tie.
Posted by: CateTheGreat January 13, 2011
Tina’s Prize Winning “Hi,Neighbor” is the BEST!!!!
Posted by: kcmc January 14, 2011
The most thoughtfully designed and wearable tie is the red tie top row center, hands down. I feel most of the other ties are reminiscent of clown pants. The classic since 1890 is a clear-cut winner.

I like the idea of the stacked 12packs! What could be better!
Posted by: Jeff January 17, 2011
White cubes! The white cubes one is the winner!
Posted by: Matthew January 17, 2011
The jury has just returned and the unanimous decision has been the white/gray 12 pack design. Simple and classy… a perfect fit for my dad
