Country:  | WW2Aircraft.Net T-Shirt??? Yea or Nay...
Kinda popped into my head the other day.... I been lookin a bit and goofin around some, and came up with somethin to start with....
If anyone has a prior experience or a relative etc etc, PLEASE speak up....
As my initial inquiry was kinda basic, the cost would be around 25.00 dollars per shirt, rough figure....
We can try and get some better ideas, but heres my weak attempt just to give an idea...
First things first tho.... We need to get an idea as to how much interest is involved in this.... We're probably looking at ordering over 100 shirts, so we're talking over 1,000 dollars, so the commitment has GOT to be there....
Chime in with ideas/ADVICE or anything else....

| Maybe we can have the famous "Best Bomber of WW2" poll printed on the back.

Country:  | What site did you use for the design of the shirt. I do like the When in Doubt part... 
Well as you know Les, I am interested in it as we discussed in the admin thread. I think though that some things still have to be hammered about if we were to do this among the admin.

Country: | I'd get one - I can always use another t-shirt. The picture on the back is kinda huge though, in my opinion. Actually, what I think makes it look kind of poor in the picture above is the cropped white square background surrounding the rounds... if the square can be taken out, I think it'd look much better.

Country: | Just a thought...
I thought alot of the siggy sayings are pretty good. maybe a pic with a Mods or member's saying along with it. Like Syscom3's, Adler's, etc... kinds keeps it specific to this site.

Country: | You have to be careful with copyrighted photos when using them to make shirts, even as a not for profit venture. That can get pretty nuts. I like the idea, but I was thinking of a small picture on the front with the website address and a larger graphic type depiction on the back. Similar to the way the banner is.

Country: | I know there are a couple of guys here that do some great graphic artist type work. Perhaps one of them using some public domain images might be a cool thing.

Country:  | How about starting a thread containing pictures taken or graphics produced by the guys with a cp waiver from them then the copyright won't be a problem a vote at the end will choose the design | |
