Final Shirt Design...Want one?
Well...the shirt is designed! I hope to take it to the screener early next week. I will have prices soon after that, and I would guess that it will likely be in the $15 range. (Yes, I intend to make a few bucks at that price...I intend to gift the designers with a shirt, and pay the rest toward my hosting costs for the site. If I make more than the cost of those two things, then I'll take my wife to dinner! )
My intention at this point is to go navy blue with white ink. I will let the printer talk me out of that if he his experience suggests that is bad for this design.
Assuming a price of $15 or less, please reply to this thread if you want a shirt, and how many you want so that I might accurately gauge how many to have made. Please indicate the size you want in your reply.
A BIG thanks goes out to three guys for their work on this project:
Magruder -- for the design idea of the front,
Munkey -- for his Photoshop work, AND...
Crosby -- for his sketches (are those cool sketches, or what?!).
THANKS GUYS!!!
Right now it is my intention to have the shirts completed by Chicago, and deliver them there. I'd rather NOT get into a huge shipping fiasco. I intend to ship the shirts in one big box to Crosby, and he is going to drive them to the show. AFTER Chicago, I will take on shipping any for folks that are not at the show. Before then, I will be too busy making pipes to do a bunch of packaging. SORRY, to those not going to Chicago that want a shirt.
Without further ado:
FRONT:
BACK:
Let me mention that this is not a design proposal. I am not looking for suggestions on the design, I am asking if you want one as it is designed. (If you are dying to make a suggestion ( ), go ahead and PM me instead of posting the suggestion to this thread.)

Magruder, great concept. Crosby the sketches look very, very nice.
Good work, gents :thumb:
Tyler, I would take a total of two, size large. My wife saw the design and asked if it would be available as a Baby Doll T-shirt. I doubt it, but if so, make it three. I thought it was pretty cool she wanted to wear a pipe making shirt! It might not be bad PR to have some babes sporting the shirt.

I'm sure others like myself who can't make Chicago this year will want one, but sure don't want Tyler to have a huge pain in the rump over shipping. Maybe someone can come up with a good idea for those who need them shipped.
I think this communites membership will grow exponentially with these shirts in Chicago as advertising.
Nice job guys.

Glad to see some interest. :thumb:
I'm sure there is no problem getting kids/ladies sizes and styles, and larger sizes. Just let me know what you want. There will likely be a price difference for some of the one-off styles/sizes, but probably not more than a couple of bucks.
NOTE: Please take a look at the first post again..I have made one minor change to the design of the front.

That was a good move Tyler, I was thinking the exact same thing last night after we hung up.

The change is "....." instead of "...". See?
As for black.....nope. I can't stand black t-shirts.

Guys,
I'm leaving on an Indian Princess campout in a few minutes. Therefore, I will be absent from the board for the weekend. If you have a T-shirt question, please don't be dismayed that I am silent for the next few days.
I shall return!

Just to throw my 1 Euro-Cent of professional experience as a typographer into this: There is no such character as "...." or "......" or "(n+1) x . " (where n is ≥ 3). The only correct spelling of this »ellipsis« as it should be called as a charater in English is simply 3 dots. And it has an own spacing. It is an own accesible glyph within almost every typeface. I sit in front of an Apple, so I don't believe my keyboard shortcuts will help.Tyler wrote:The change is "....." instead of "...". See?

I don't want to get on your nerves. Just wanted to prevent you from running around with a shirt with a plain misspelling on it. That's what it would be. No better than writing »bryar« instead of »briar«.

Tyler,
I would like 1 Large and 1 X-Large, but unfortunately I will not be in Chicago. So if you can work it out after Chicago that would be great.
Thanks,
-Bryan
