A big thanks to all that voted and to all those that make this website so educational (and entertaining!!!)
It is a pleasure to contribute...what I can...to this great cause.
Just tell me where to send the artwork and what resolution you want it at....It should fit in an email.
Carol, will you want the little front logo as well?
I think you mentioned doing a few with the big image on the back and SG101 on the front.
Cheers,

Perhaps Carol can short list the choices based on the T-shirt brand she wants to use and her expertise with what's popular for color (or would reproduce the artwork best?)

Color is fine with me, basically any dark color.
may I suggest XXL's and 100% pre shrunk cotton,
they cost a bit more, but I for one am willing to pay for it.
Ran(kick the reverb) knows of the best shirts, I forget the name right now.

big image on front is where it's at with me.
the dark green looks great. dark blue would look good. black might even work, but the contrast might be strange.
i'm just not fond of reds or yellows.
and here's a vote for plain, ole Large.

I like the color it is now, though a dark blue might also look very good.
And here's my vote down for a medium.

gildan makes nice shirts. they have a color called metro blue that's similar to the one in the picture and also an indigo blue which is a little darker.
anvil makes a blue similar to the indigo named lake.
hanes 'beefy' t has one called bluestone, which seems almost identical. hanes shirts are more expensive than gildan and anvil.
gildans' indigo blue is the only one of these available in youth sizes.
there are no womans/juniors t's that come in this color. i wear a junior medium which is about the same size on me as a youth large.
gildan also makes a long sleeve t in the indigo.
i'm just thinking out loud here as i go through my t shirt catalog. so...........my suggestion is to go with the gildan indigo printed on the front with a little logo under the neck on the back.

I think that was the name of the Company That Ran told me about.
He said that Hanes beefy tees are not as good as they used to be.

XL T-Shirts seem to vary a lot. I have some that are plenty big and some that are not that big at all, so I go with BTD's XXL vote. I Like the colour in the picture.

design on front will have my vote, as for color, this one's nice, if it's easy add plain white for thsoe who dont like colored shirts. (Id by white before the colored one but it's not a bid deal. Id probably buy both! )
anyway I say let carol do the size and kind order, she has experience with this. what would REALLY be a big help is if we know the brand that's gonna be ordered (the ones Carol uses for her shop?), if we could get a picture of someone with a particular size T on and what his lenght is. (maybe carols son or husband with a shop T?) .... the thing is for us Europeans, it's kinda hard to order a size from the US, you americans with your supersized everythings .... I once ordered a medium shirt form the US (my size in europe) and it was more like short dress

Design on the front is the way to go
also, you can't do a T-shirt for musicians and music fans, and not have black!
Looks awesome! and thanks Carol for handling the production!
Let us know when they're available to order!

gildan makes nice shirts.
for 5 years i wore gildan tshirts at work making signs. they have held up SO well, and the large size fits me better/more comfortably than any other shirt i have . i love gildan.
