OT - What the hell are you doing here. Shouldn't you be partying over your victory in the WSOP?

Anyways Sufeli's shirt is the most graphically designed as far as how shirts should look. He definitely has the proper skill to do the job but I think the design is poor and the quotes should be left out. I don't really like the background imagery either, Like others said it reminds too much of AEO or some other trendy line.

I really like the 3 race shirt but it seemed TOO basic. Maybe modify that and we got ourselves a shirt.

I think simple is the way to go for this. White/Black shirt, simple designs, teamliquid horse or starcraft design and thats it.

Create something just in between these and its perfect imo.

edit - the only quote that should be considered is something like 'circa 2001' or 'est. 2001'.

Hey folks!

Let's try to find a solution that will make honour to Suffeli's design, that will enable mnm to keep breathing and that will make Rekrul (aka 'the poker champion') proud

Could we look at the silk screen printing controversy from an another angle?
There's no problem as long as each individual order it's t-shirt himself, isn't it? You can decide where you want it to be delivered, you don't give any personal info to anyone and you're a happy TL t-shirt owner in the end.

One way could be for TL only to provide the actual design file (in the proper format etc) and to say on which website to order it with some kind of step by step or something.
Then I thought I could be interesting to keep some track of who ordered it, how many shirts etc... It may be done quite easily: to download the design file, you have to be logged and TL logs who download the file to have some kind of data of it.
While thinking how this could really be done and trying to find a website providing individual silk screening orders, I've come across this: www.shirtmagic.com
What's interesting? You can create your OWN SHOP, that keep track of sales, where you can provide multiple designs and stuff...
Seems too good? I've done some alpha testing (stracraft 2 influence): I've created a shop, added a basic t shirt and tried to order it.
Result? Apparently, you can order individual shirts with a shipping address anywhere in the world! A basic T-shirt with print is about 27$ delivery included.

Here's the test shop I've done : http://www.shirtmagic.com/shop/tototo

Could this be an interesting option? I admit I haven't looked at the details of the printing quality of the site... What about a Teamliquid tshirt shop? Think about it, you could run contests and add tshirts to the shop

People wanted one race / one t shirt? No pb

Hope that help

im talking to a fellow from that website and getting information. has anyone here heard of or considered direct to garment printing as an option? it has over 8x the dpi (higher res), outlasts screen printing and the colour range is basically unlimited. it is more expensive though and you don't gain anything by bulk buying (we were having issues with this idea anyway). could be worth a thought..?

just to add some more info on this option:
- around $25US p/ shirt (in size S-XL, XXL and larger is more)
- add $1US for printing on the back of the shirt
- around $10US P+H to US citizens, but also ships internationally to canada and europe (not australia though

)
- 600dpi (screen printing is 72dpi)
- the image will outlast the silk screen printing counterpart
- actual colour of the base shirt, as well as the type of t-shirt you choose contributes to cost (not much variation in price though)
- there is no increased cost if you chose 1000000 colours over 1 colour
- FINAL COST for most buyers using suffeli's design would be about $35US

So how do we go about getting them to Aus?

Well, shirtmagic do ship to Australia ...

L!MP, what was the provider you were talking about ?

i talked to shirtmagic. they don't ship to australia as the UPS rates are too high. i spoke to a representative and they ship to europe, canada and usa.

My request is to leave this forum purely for design. If anyone wants to discuss process, leave it out of this forum and PM me - ITS FUTILE TO HAVE TOO MANY COOKS IN THE KITCHEN. these are the tshirt fulfillment services i have been researching for the past two weeks: CafePress, UberPrints, Spreadshirt, Zazzle, ShirtCity, Printfection, ShirtMagic, CustomInk, DesignAShirt, The Shirt Printer, ExpertShirt, ArtApart (as well as a lot of other independent companies who are friends of friends and such). There is a long list of items that I take into consideration. I wouldn't want to jump into one of these just because it 'seems' like a good choice. I've been doing a lot of research and I would hope that others trust that we end up making the right decisions. If you want to help with this, PM me and do not bring it into this forum. I know quality of shirt/design, durability and accessibility is important to tl and I seek to bring just that.

this goes out to you evan, l!mp, d4d, jellycat, etc.

I would love your help, I would just discourage doing research independently from each other. (but when you do offer help, i cannot give you any compensation.. we are not a company and all work we do is for free)

As far as designs go, I still like the stimpack logo one, the "gay pony" and the ones with the stylized unit logos the best. Suffeli's I think is really well-done but looks like so many other shirts I see,

IMHO simple is the way to go!
