I'm thinking of making another shirt. I already have the design, but unsure of what color shirt to use and what color print to use. This shirt will probably the most affordable of the 3 i've designed. I'm trying to sell these shirts in the end for $10 each. But that's later on in the process. Here's the design and a rendering of the original design.

Black Shirts... Whatever ink.. white "Pops" the best

Posted by: dlo914 Jan 25 2006, 03:34 PM

most likely gonna go w/ a black shirt w/ white print. now i just need to contact my new shirt provider and a location for the print to be placed on the shirt. Either a large print on the front only, or a small one front left and large one on the back.

Posted by: dkos Jan 25 2006, 04:14 PM

Great design. I like it on the colored shirts tho...not a big fan of black t-shirts.

Posted by: dlo914 Jan 25 2006, 04:22 PM

I'd be in for either car, in green or black shirt with the white design in 2XL.

I like the second one. It's cleaner with your sig there.

Make sure you get some extra XLs this time.

I have a slight preference towards the green shirt.
I do not like the reversed 419 on the back. Make it say 914.

Posted by: sj914 Feb 2 2006, 08:07 PM

Hows bout offering it in both green and black?

Posted by: STL914 Feb 2 2006, 09:11 PM

What happened to the design with the flared 914?

Posted by: mikelsr Feb 2 2006, 09:19 PM

I vote for green (like my teener) but make the back say 914 (not 419) and have the car on top of the lettering for 914.

Mike

Posted by: dlo914 Feb 2 2006, 10:41 PM

2nd thought scratch that thought lets just use the flared 914 with the 914 numbering above to the top right of the car. It looks more intimidating now GREEN or BLACK? i'll try to see if i could get both colors made but if not i'm going w/ the majority. here's a preview:

Don't like black t-shirts....too "heavy metal" for this old guy. Why does it have to be just one color t-shirt? I'd like green, red, blue, orange...t-shirt to match your car. I think the design on the front needs to be smaller and the one on the back needs to be lower.

How about a long sleeve shirt? Just asking. I don't have many of those. They work great under racing suit.

Why don't you just pick the color you like best Daniel?

How long will it take to have them made?
It would be great if you could have them available at the BBQ on the 18th.

Posted by: dlo914 Mar 22 2006, 12:22 PM

ive been busy w/ work. i'll try to give my printer a call today around 6. ACTUALLY, lemme post it on my monitor so i do it for sure.

Posted by: alpha434 Mar 22 2006, 12:22 PM

Big print on front nothing on back. Gives it a more retro look. Nobody did something dumb like putting the same picture in two different places unitl the mid-nineties.

And I vote for green. I know that guys aren't supposed to be fashion savvy, but green makes for a good accent color. Black matches everything, which makes it "marginal" with whatever, when dark green and khakis would look fantastic.

Posted by: dlo914 Mar 22 2006, 12:24 PM

yea, i too like a huge print on just the front, but it's already been voted. Small on the front and large on the back.

Yeah, but grease shows up so much more on white shirts.

If we do white shirts, I vote you do polo or crew neck styles. Those will be designated club meet shirts... unless you're from SoCal, are named Clayton and work on someone's car everytime there's a get together.
