We had a number of design submissions, many of them very feasible. But sadly for this first run of shirts we had to choose only one to print. If everything goes well, we will most likely print other designs on future runs of shirts (All the art submissions are listed later in the post).
We ended up going with a design by our favorite BZ Artist, Saturos, as we felt it was the best overall design, and makes a very good 'logo' shirt for us. It will be our 'basic' shirt.
This would be the back of the shirt ( logo not to scale ) if we printed on a charcoal colored shirt, and this would be the front;
We are not dead set on the color of the shirt, in addition to the charcoal shirt, we are also deciding between the following colors.
Military Green;
Olive;
Steel Green;
Uniform Navy Blue
As you can see there is a poll up there, so please vote your preference. We will only print one color this time so we'd like to know what most people like. We are sure that we want to go with a darker colored shirt, but probably not a black shirt ( everyone does black shirts
)We are also taking pre-pay orders for some special items, including;
A pullover hoodie, in green and black.
A full zipper hoodie in green and black.
And a sheer cotton athletic fit shirt in "smoke"
All items will have the large logo on the back, printed in 3 colors ( white, gray, and black ), and a smaller logo with our URL on the front breast in white. The hoodies will be offered in both colors, because they are paid for in advance. Also please note these images are just samples we made to try and visualize the final designs, and do not exactly represent what will be printed.
Since we will be going with a 3 color design, the cost of the shirts will go up slightly (0.50$usd) per shirt. So that puts us at 13.50$ for small to XL and 14.50 for XXL and XXXL.
You can find the prepay pages on our store website at http://store.bzflag.bz . The images there will be updated later today to these that use the new logos.
Now on to the fun stuff.
We got a number of good submissions, and i'd like to thank winny, spazzy mcgee, saturos, blast and, think different for what they have done. A number of designs are good enough for additional lower run printings after we see how the first run goes. Here are the designs, if you like them or have comments please feel free to post ( be kind, and constructive please ).
Here is a larger version of the final design, showing both the front and back images.
These are the designs submitted by others that we may print later.

it will be on the left side of the shirt when worn.
It'd be cool if there was a computer screen and a keyboard though, with the screen displaying the logo of choice..
