Pin Rejects

Yes, it's what you've all been waiting for! Lee's amazing archive of Pin Rejects has all the pins you've never traded. These pins were never pressed in enamel nor attached to a towel, but they're interesting.
Woulda been a great pin This was my first design for this year. I wanted to capture the essence of New Jersey. Not being able to think of anything positive associated with New Jersey, I decided to portray it like it is. Some people asked for this at Worlds. Maybe next year!

We are making a pin based on this design for the 1997 World Finals!

Not tradable for a Belle Inspired by the recent outbreak of movies like Outbreak this shows a guy in a bio-protective suit holding a canister containing the letters 'OM'. Clearly, OM and creativity are some sort of disease that needs to be stopped. I thought this pin wasn't funny enough and people wouldn't get it
Never got to Zanca's I got sick of all the garish designs and multipart pins, so I made this anti-pin, trying to be as boring as possible. Hmmm... that also seems to convey the essence of New Jersey!
