Hi Lee,
Any chance of Polos?

I WILL TAKE A LARGE OR XL WITH POCKET AND MAIN DESIGN ON BACK.

PERHAPS SOME MORE OF THE MEMBERS WITH ARTISTIC TALENTS COULD SUBMIT SOME OF THEIR DESIGNS FOR FUTURE SHIRTS OR JUST FOR FUN.

I will check on polos and the possibility of alternate colors when the poll closes and I am getting the printer's estimate on artwork touch up costs (these should be minimal and if they are as they were the last time, I'll be able to knock a couple of dollars off per shirt). I suspect there would be an ink change charge if we request such variants; also I do not know if that would trigger a separate minimum. But I will find out, and get costs when I do, before the time comes to send money. The artwork will also be available for download, when it is completed, for anyone who wishes to arrange their own local printing by one of the transfer techniques.

If you CAN get Polos, I will take 2 size L
Thanks Stu

I would have a size L in the basic format.
Is there a link where i can see how was last year style?
Thanks.

While I appreciate the idea of a shirt and really would like to get one, I don't like the artwork presented here. I think it looks quite unprofessional.

Sorry, I don't want to affront anyone, I just think you should probably offer several artworks among which the users can democratically choose the one they prefer...

Oh well .....

Fernando - there was no t-shirt for last year, the previous t-shirts were from 1999 and 2000. Only a few XL green shirts remain in inventory.

Stekemest - fortunately for you, no one here is making you buy a subscription and then 'giving' you a t-shirt you hate as a premium.

No money has been collected and none of this has gone off to the printer yet; this has been and is a cooperative, non-profit effort. If a member or group of members in our community with professional or even just better artistic skills want to design and organize alternative t-shirts or have a hand at redesigning this one, then please step forward now and I will gladly put the current project on hold. I would not even care if someone were able to make a profit at it.

Well, i wouldn't know about (all) the others, but i am subscribing the present t-shirt mainly because i wish to have a token of the Forum. It is not expectable that this or other weapon's design would be everyones's taste

This would be a perfect world if one could select the weapon he fancies, contact a member of our comunity and have it stamped in a t-shirt with the forum letterings.
... Any volunteers?
I wouldn't mind having that gorgeous takouba, for one

I was visiting a friend's website and noticed that he offered t-shirts via a company named Zazzle. I have been looking over their technical requirements and I wonder if this might be the solution for our needs. They print on demand and they offer a number of garment choices and colors. Obviously, this is also a possibility for bringing back the first two styles as well. And, it would get me out of handling your money and fretting about order fulfillment. Yes, I'd set my "take" per shirt to zero.

And Fernando, I believe they offer color and I just happen to have that takouba logo art in high resolution...
