Poll: Who had the better gear?

The second was worn by Rob Pardo, the Executive VP of Game Design at Blizzard. It featured an image of a rainbow above the words "Diablo 3." It also had unicorns and flowers on it. Very Barbie like.
While both shirts have their place, I think it'd be fun to know – which one would you rather have? Personally, I want the D3 shirt Pardo had on. Hilarious stuff there. But Ghostcrawler has gained quite a following as well. Vote for your favorite gear and be heard!

| Give me Pardo's rainbows! |
Update: It's not being worn by a Blue, and therefore isn't poll-worthy, but we enjoyed this shirt, too.

The Diablo 3 shirt is a reference to the people crying about the graphical style of Diablo 3. They saw a rainbow in a waterfall in one of the screenshots, and starts crying about how Diablo 3 wasn't "gothic" like the previous games, and that it's bright colors had the same effect. They even started up a poll for a "darker" Diablo 3, and that T-shirt is making fun of those critics, lol.

The Diablo 3 shirt is the developers shirt for D3. My buddy who works at blizz said all the D3 developing team has one.

I know it's the development shirt. There's an article about lots of Blizzard employees wearing them.
Again, it's a reference to all the critics criticizing the graphical style of Diablo 3, lol.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I think the Diablo 3 thing is more reference to My Little Pony than Barbie.
That being said (*shiver*) Ghostcrawler's crab ftw

My fave blizzcon shirt I saw was the one that read:
"If you can read this, my guild is wiping."
Much lolz...

Pardo's rainbow shirt ftw. If I want Ghostcrawler's shirt I can go print a model of a crab on a shirt transfer.

Agree, who really cares what t-shirt is cooler.
What's next, "Who has the biggest man-boobs?"

2nd that.
First the stupid, completely un-funny selections for the caption contest and now this. WoW Insider needs some work. I'm also kind of frustrated waiting for this patch, but the stupid posts don't help.

Vlad, just go away. Seriously. We are tired of you trolling here and nagging about anything on Wowinsider. If you don't like something, do tell, but also give a valid suggestion how to fix the problem. If you can't give any constructive criticism, go away. This blog does not need trolls like you.

I think Ghostcrawler is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Ghostcrawler is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus GM roaming the countryside. Run. He's fuzzy. Get outta here.
(Thats all I thought of with that picture)

In the context of the question I would rather wear the Diablo shirt because the Crab shirt is a personal thing of the particular GM and it wouldn't make much sense for someone else to be wearing it. If the question were rephrased however I think it was much cooler that Ghostcrawler was wearing an inside personal reference.
