OK, I'm sure you've seen a shirt thread here and a shirt thread there... this is the OFFICIAL thread. Since HT may not be going to Vertigo and we (the whole dang family) are DEFINATELY going, I've taken over the t-shirts.

1st thing I'm going to need is INPUT!! If anyone has any good ideas they'de like to see, let me know. If you want to post a pic of an idea, please do so. Keep in mind that I may need to change/alter the designs to make them work with the printer but anything sent in graphically will remain close to your original.

Next thing I'll need is WHO'S GOING?!? If you are going and want a T, OR if you are NOT going but still want a T, let me know. Shipping a T is usually about $4 flat fee so as long as you're in the USofA, I can send you a shirt for cost + shipping.

Now for the guts. The T's are going to be SCREEN PRINTED which means that EVERY COLOR COSTS MONEY!! I will get charged a setup fee for each screen and each color so let's try to keep it simple. This also goes for designs on the fronts AND backs. That's 2 screens so that means more money. Ideally, I'd like to stick to a single color single sided design but we can get crazy as long as you guys are willing to pay.

Now PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't tell me you are going to buy a shirt if you can't do it. I have to order these all at once and will have a box of them to hand out at the gathering. If you say you want one and don't get it, I'll have a box of T's that probably won't fit me or the fam.

I will try to give a good representation of exactly what the final design is going to be once everyone decides on the best one. Some other decisions that are needed are > what color T's ? what color ink ? tagless or beefy Ts ?

And this will need to be addressed lated BUT for everyone that buys a T, I need a SIZE for each one ordered. Keep in mind that winter is coming up and we're all gonna be FAT from Thanksgiving dinners and Christmas dinners (or whatever kind've dinner you're gonna be eating) so if it doesn't fit >> wasn't me!! Lol.

Men's Large. I'm definitely getting a T-Shirt, even if by some horrible stroke of anti-luck I can't make it.

I liked the design that Laina had with the name across the wheel. How much would it cost for you to personalize these?

Actuall > personalization isn't that much $$. They don't screen print the names but do that like sports jerseys are done (1 letter at a time w/transfers). Of course there isn't a set price until a final run number is decided > more = cheaper > but I think it was like $1.50 for adding names.

Oh >> and just so everyone knows >> I am doing this at a ZERO PROFIT MARGIN. I'm won't be making ANY money on these. If anyone wants to see the printing costs or final 'to the door' cost, I'll be more that happy to show you. Heck > I'll probably and up losing a few bucks on the T's but I'm just happy to be helping out.

deez, i have 2 ideas...the one slice said with the wheel and name, and 2:

******NOTE!!! if you like design and not colors i can edit the pic and stuff to any colorl***********

when facing the BLACK tee shirt this would be in the top right hand corner

then on the back you would see this (all the names/states of people who are buying)

NOTE: Im sticking with one color because i really don't think people are going to want to pay extra for these. yes, they have some personification, but however... they will all have the names in the same place. that way we wont pay extra for what we dont need.....if you really want your name on the top that badly-then make your own =]. but thats just my logic.

Laina: Males are going to be wearing these things. The inclusion of that much red-white blurring is probably not wise.

I sort-of like Emma's idea, but it's really sort of embarrassing if the people listed on the T-Shirt don't show up.

@emma, i kind of havent posted on here because im not buying a shirt from here. so dont include me in this whole getting a shirt together thing even if you guys decide to do a list, i dusnt want my name on it.

even if im not goin can i get a shirt? cuz if i could def. count me in! adult medium
