    Arrow Free-DC t-shirt w/ new logo...

    Got inspired because of the FaD team getting their own shirts. Spent ~1-1/2hrs cleaning up the graphic so it'd look good enlarged. I should have a sample of this shirt towards the end of next week...

    Don't really expect anyone else to want one of these "simple" shirts but I'm going to order a couple more as long as the proof looks good. If anyone is interested, let me know. Only thing is, I'll need money up front since I'm not rich. I've designed 5 or 6 different t-shirts through iPrint in the past few years and they do decent work. They are $13.99 plus shipping when ordering 1 at a time. Or that goes down to $12.99 when ordering between 12-35.

    Yeah, I know... but I don't do FaD so they don't really apply to me. Like I said, I've printed shirts through iPrint before so it's not a big deal going that route. I figured I'd post this just in case there is someone else like me.

    I also stated if any Free-DC member of other DC projects wants a Free-DC shirt made just for that project let me know and send some Artwork And I would get a price for it from the printer, roughly around $8.00 per shirt and $5.00 for Caps + Shipping +/-$4.50

    Oh, didn't really read that thread in the FaD section because I'm not a FaDer. Thanks for the offer for printing. If there's a demand for these shirts(which there doesn't seem to be) then maybe it'd be better going that route. Right now though going through iPrint.com is just too easy for me to justify trying anything else. Their online design system is better than any other I've checked out. I also just received a coupon from them so shirts are now only $11.99 for 1, $11.24 for 12-35, or $10.86 for 36+. Getting closer to your awesomely low $8 cost.

    Thanks again.

    would it be better with logo on the back rather than the front?

    Logos on the back aren't good for people with long hair, especially if they don't always tie it back.

    It can be on either the front or back, no problem.

    And someone asked in a PM if the large logo could go on the back and a small "pocket" logo on the front? That's also doable except it adds $6 to the cost for "two-sided" printing. I'll try and get a small pocket logo together this weekend.

    The proof for the first shirt should be here today or tomorrow so I should know soon if that large logo looks good printed on a shirt.

    And unfortunetly white is the only color shirt possible. But there is a choice of 50/50 or 100% cotton(cotton adds $2).

    Well, I like that! And no cleaning up to do on my part.

    Excuse my ignorance here on Free-DC history... what is the timeline for the different graphics? The graphic I used for my shirt is the one that shows up for the color scheme I chose for the forum. Is it any newer or older than the one you used for the hats(the one listed above)?

    Received the two-sided shirt today and it looks as good as the single sided shirt.

    Here is the cost breakdown in case anyone else is interested in these shirts...

    Single sided: $12 (2XL add $2)
    Double sided: $18 (2XL add $2)

    The single sided shirt can have either graphic on either side, just let me know what you want. You can also go the 100% cotton route if you feel the need, but that adds $2 to the cost.

    Priority Mail shipping will be $3.85 for up to 2 shirts. More shirts will add a little more shipping into the deal. I'll estimate shipping costs and as long as people pay via PayPal I can refund any overpayment instantly(PayPal makes this very easy to do).

    I can also refund money if there are 12 shirts ordered in the same style since that will qualify for a discount.

    [edit]
    Ordered so far:
    Single sided:
    0 - S
    0 - M
    0 - L
    0 - XL

    Double sided:
    0 - S
    0 - M
    0 - L
    2 - XL

    I'm confused, since more than one person is posting shirt designs. How much for on a t-shirt, and who do I pay?

    Why the confusion, there are two threads describing two different t-shirts, end of story?

    Jeff, I sent a Paypal to you last night

    Yep, received the payment last night. I'll place the order in a few days, probably towards the end of next week(Oct 27th or 28th).


    And this shirt is more of a generic Free-DC shirt than the one being made for the Find-A-Drug Free-DC team. I saw the FaD people making their shirt and thought it was a GREAT idea so I just made these for the hell-of-it.

    There is also a post in the FaD forum where someone links to one of those T-shirt stores where Free-DC has shirts. I didn't know that existed before I made these otherwise I may have just went that route.

    At any rate, the shirts in this thread are pictured above and if anyone wants one, just let me know by the middle of next week. Like I said, I'm not rich so pre-paying is a must and PayPal makes that very simple.
