T-Shirts, Stickers??

[Norton]

Hey guys.....a thought.

What if we all wait and we'll set up an official MDShooters.com Cafe store? That way we all still get what we want but the site can reap some of the benefits.

We discussed some time back about whether we should take up a collection for site expenses and DD214 graciously said that he would continue to shoulder the financial burden for the time being. As the site continues to grow and bandwitdth increases, I can imagine that the costs are going to increase as well.

What say ye?

Sounds like a plan Norton

DD214 - The new one looks great too. I agree with jpk1md, the white lettering for MDSHOOTER.COM does stand out more. The only suggestion I might make is since some people like the black shirts, you might put a white border around the top banner like you did the rest of the design. This will keep the banner from being pulled in by the dark background and help it to stand out bold.


Norton - How long did cafe said it will take to get the shirt? I didn't see any shirts on the website that allowed for front and back printing, but it never hurts to ask about it. I might suggest we hold off on the store thing until you get your shirt, just to make sure the quality is up to MDShooters standard.


Also, since some might want to put both on a shirt, I made one up for the front with FORUM removed and no web address. It would be overkill to have a small webaddress on the front and larger one on the back.

I did some poking around over at cafe....looks like this one can have different designs front and back

I really wanted a dark shirt though.

I'm trying to come up with something for the front that is a little smaller. Here is what I have so far.

Better and better all of the time.

I would definitely buy a couple of stickers and a t-shirt.

 

[DD214]

Great design, but on black? Eh.....

I'm no fan of black t-shirts myself. I just put it up since some people seemed interested.

I figured I'd jump on Norton's bash Spot77 bandwagon, so here you go Spot77, these are for you.

Not sure, I liked the square shape and the fade. It looks great on black too.
The crest looks awesome on white.

What's the point of him buying something like that....not like anyone would ever get to see them

The crest looks awesome on white.

The only concern I have is how that fade is going to appear on a t-shirt. I'm afraid that it will end up as a banded gradient rather than a true fade, and that won't look so hot. I'm anxious to hear a report from someone who ordered one with the gradient, so please chime in once you receive your shirt.

IMO, the new front design looks a little "busy" to me. Maybe black lettering in the ribbon.

 

[4g64loser]

love the new back design with crest....and i might have to get some of the panties for my girlfriend....hahaha

and for norton's comment, i'd love to see a store to support the forum, other forums do it and i'm all in favor of those who put so much time, money, and effort into this site having some of the financial burden moved to those of us that enjoy the forums free of charge.

Ah, shucks.....

Great!

Man these logos are great. Too much choices to choose between. It's like the sneetches with stars. We show up for a shoot and we have tons of versions. Sounds like a few dollars lost trying to get the ones we like the most. Does anyone have all of the full size images compiled together? I know a few people were doing designs.

Cleaned up and color matched. My proposal for the mass produced version. You can do what you want at CafePress, but I have to settle with one design for the local run. The front version incorporates Rob's suggestion for black lettering, but I can't decide if it is better than white.

Dang....those are almost too nice for this bunch of yahoos (myself included)

Here is the front with black letters without the white stroke...
