Hah!  I see what you mean.  Visually, it does look more balanced.  (I guess that's what a graphic artist is good at, huh?)

 

I love the idea either way and it looks really sharp.

Thank ya.  Well, those are my two entries to the contest.  FM, for the shirt graphic I would send you the final copy in whatever format/size you think is best, and with a slightly different light burst behind the typeface.  That will allow for it to be on a shirt without having darkened borders.  This can also be done in any color.

I kind of already choose "Mustang" with her idea but I like yours as well do maybe they'll just be two winners. :-)
I did 4 rehearsals and 8 concerts this Friday, Sat, and Sun. Sorry I haven't been around a lot. Have a couple more tough days of work and I should be back here more often.

Busy man!  Hope everything went well.  We would love to see videos of the concerts if you have any. thumbs-up

I think all the idea's are great, my only question is, with all the printing on the shirt, how washable will they be. My thinking that a shirt with the picture printed so large that after several washing's, will the picture fade and smude and look bad, look kinda old.

Seem's to me that the more you put on the shirt, the higher the price. I understand that a shirt like that won't be worn everyday so there's no need to launderer as frequently as other garments you wear. You need to charge accordingly so you realize a profit. How many of the online member's are actually going to buy one?

Pierre, maybe you should take a poll before you invest a lot of money in the project and end up with boxe's of unsold shirts, see how many you will actually sell.  Also, you will have to make available different sizes. S,M,L,XL. It may sound like i'm being negative about this and i'm not, but it's something you need to consider. How many online member's do you have now and what percentage will purchase one ?

 

Those are my thought's, for what they're worth.

Another idea just struck me.

You can have a shirt for people over 50.

I have heard that if you turn your shirt inside out is saves the print.

That very well may solve it, but when I put T-shirts in the washer, they go in outside out and sometimes come out, inside out.

Great idea Fiddlestix, Maybe even, Old Fiddler's Never Pass Away, They just Play away"
Sounds like a great idea turning them inside out while washing them.
I've been looking at screen printing at around the same price as the caps…
My son got some decent quotes today. It'll probably happen soon. FiddlerShop will be making an investment.

It's finally here. Show your support for fiddlerman.com by buying and wearing a fiddlerman.com T-shirt.

Very soft 100% cotton V neck. While supplies last :-)

Do they come in a color other than black ? What would a white neck tie look with it ?  roflroflol

You can actually get it in a variety of colors but we'll have to wait an extra week to get them. I'll work on some more options.
Also, I messed up and no one could really order them last night because I didn't assign a shipping option to that product.. LOL
If anyone has any feasible special requests just let us know.

I have been working on a shirt idea as well.  mine is a lot more simple.  it basically uses the top left of Fiddlershop.com.  With the violin body on it's side and Fiddlerman.com in script on the bottom.  One color.  Very simple.  but i don't think i can get them shipped and made for under $10. 

I'm sure everyone on here will purchase anything put out just to support the sight, so I will keep trying as well as buying one of these.  it kind of has that "uncle sam wants you" type of feel.

Is there a reason why I am not seeing this art work?  Or am I just not high enough up on the food chain to see it? snake1
