What about shirt colors ? White may be easiest but "in my case" the shirt life span is a lot shorter .

I can tell you about the iron-ons, at least. They're offered in two options, one for light colors and one for dark colors. My experience with the dark color version was much worse tan the light color version, but I only tried the one so far.

Iron ons work only with the high dollar transfer materials and solvent based printer inks applied with a transfer machine.   Best option is screen printed.   I own a tee shirt shop.

Don't feel put on the spot, CID, but would you be interested in printing them?

I would,   First hurdle is a design of course.   Try to stay away from photo based designs and stick to line art type stuff and there should be no issues.

Well, that cuts me out  :bigsmile: I'm a photographer, not a freehand artist. I take it that you're looking for something with blocks of color and not with continuous tone?

Unless you can convert photoshop layers to grayscale gradients for tee shirt seps.   I got a guy but he charges a grip.

Whats wrong with the old CC.Com logo? I don't have a picture but it was solid colours? Looks good enough for me?

If I recall correctly, the only issue with that was tat nobody still here had the art. the last time we were discussing this really seriously, however, circa 2009, there was some call for a new design.

Ah I see. Maybe 4C has a picture?

I have the original shirt, and I could take a pic and with some effort recreate the original art. My opinion only, but if we're going to put that much effort into it I'd just as soon have a new design. Although, if there's a huge cry for reprinting the original, that's certainly doable.

Who ever is doing the research, first: Thank You  :cheers:
Second: check out Zazzle
http://www.zazzle.com/

They make custom shirts in bulk.  Just giving you an option.

Oh, shirt colors, I request that black is an option.  Looks cooler and can keep cleaner easier than white. I'm not a slop, just very clumsy.

I still have the original design shirt that Laura sent to me back in 2006.............I really miss Laura  :( :walkaway:

I only wear it on special occasions, as I've been trying to prolong it's life.
One of my all time favorite shirts...... if anyone gives a sh!t  :grinno:     :rofl:
Would LOVE to have another one.
I'd have over a dozen sold immediately  :hyper:  :dogpile:

Here's the original design......

FRONT..........(around the upper left area, where a pocket would usually be)






BACK...........






Here is the problem as I see it . Although I know it is easy to stand on the side and give my 2 cents that is the best I can offer not being very good at this stuff . Everyone would want a shirt if it had a car on it that looked close to theirs . My case a 70 yellow Challenger . But guys with different colors , years or makes wouldn't want that same shirt .


Very interesting to hear something like that.
I have never thought that way about any car shirts I own.
Never once cared if "my" particular car was on it or not.
 
 Am I the only one?
