I was wondering if people would have any interest in buying a sling related t-shirt?  There are plenty of places where you can order custom t-shirts in smaller quantities for a reasonable price.  It could be as simple as a sentence, or we could add graphics.  There could be text on the front, back, pocket, sleeves, you name it.  Any color of the rainbow too. 

I'm not saying anything definite yet, but if there is enough interest, I'd organize it.  People could submit quotes or designs and we could vote.  There's enough registered members on this forum to make it economically feasible (but that number is only a fraction of the visitors the site gets per day just looking for information).  If we rounded up 30 willing people, it would be cheap.  Basically, just give me some feedback and let me know if you'd chip out 10 bucks for a shirt.

Definitely a good idea Chris! 

I think we should hold a contest for the T-Shirt design/quote.  The winner of the contest would receive a T-shirt for free.  You could raise the price of the T-shirt $1.00 to accommodate the winner (we wouldn't want you to have to fit the bill). 

A voting system is the only difficult thing to work out.  I've seen many polls on other websites that would work well, but they don't keep people from voting twice.  Hmmm.... ???

After the contest, you sure would have a nice item to sell on the website! 

Anyway, just some ideas.

Put me down for a couple as well.  I like the idea!

Doesn't necessarily have to be a design.  It could just be text if someone comes up with something clever.

Chris

Chris,

If we get a good design then I'm certainly in.  I prefer something historical to something comical, though those designs are cute.  I have a few thoughts.

Slinging.org may become more than a website.  It's the basis for the slinging community in the English speaking World right?  Maybe we could come up with a logo.  Something cool, masculine, powerful.  Who knows?  And the logo would be great for a t-shirt.  Infact it seems maybe we have a logo.   



I think this logo would be great on the T-shirts.  Or if we want to change it we could.

Or else, I really love David by Gianlorenzo Bernini.  It's a great statue though this isn't the best picture of it.  I have a much better one on my hard drive I could send you Chris if you're interested.  It's at a better angle too.  Of course I'm biased here.

The problem with photos is they are hard and expensive to reproduce on a t-shirt.  Plus, it might look a bit cheesy.  I think it's a great idea, but I think it would be hard to pull off a professional look.  We really need crisp text and a logo/graphic that can be applied to a solid color background.  Several of the mock images i've posted in this thread are applicable. 

We need to generate a bit more interest to make it economically feasible (~30 shirts is my goal).  So lets keep ideas and comments coming in.

Also, what are peoples thoughts on t-shirt color?  We can choose anything we like.  Color printing is obviously more expensive. 
My vote is on black or that sweatpants sandy grey look with white graphics/text. 

Chris

This should give you an idea of the selection:
