Would anyone be interested in creating a GStwins.com shirt?

Hell yeah, put me down for a dozen!

So, I wondered about creating a t-shirt for our website.  Anyone interested?  How do I get permission to use the website name?  Just an idea.  Input?  :dunno_white:

Edit: Here's the address to get your goodies (so you don't have to wade through pages!) : http://www.cafepress.com/gstwin
Something is wrong with my twin...all of a sudden it's V shaped!  Wait, no, now it's a triple!  ...and I IZ NOT a postwhore!

Probably talk to Kerry.  I believe he owns the rights to the name, but arent there already shirts out there?
2000 GS500E
K&N Drop in, Custom Turn signals, Kat Rear Shock, Pirreli Sport Demons, Woodcraft Rearsets. Kat Front Forks, Race tech .90, 14t

Kerry is not the site owner, John is.  John is the person that you might ask that question, he is very busy and currently rare, but visits offline from time to time.  We'll have to be patient.

It would be nice to see this actually happen


My idea:
This printed on left breast


and the outline of your choice of an E or F on the back... or outlines of an E and an F facing each other or something
(I'll leave the actual image to someone who can do it in pshop or something)
Then print GStwin.com or a simple slogan underneath.

Everything in one color to keep prices down.

Ya forgot the "s" at the end MotF (EDIT - the homepage doesn't have an S does it hehe) ... i like your ideas though . The local Streefighterz have a silhouette (sp?) of one of them doing a high-chair wheelie and it always make me think that someone should make shirts for all the different bikes like that .
I'd definately take a couple .. hell , make 'em in smaller sizes and my 3yo will wear it - she LOVES motorcycles  :kiss3:

Cool count me in! I think it is a great idea :thumb:

I'd love to have one. I thought about doing this before but my life isn't really stable enough for me to organize it now. If we could whip up a design you'd just have to get a quoted price per shirt then let us know how it'll work out. When I thought about this a while ago I thought it would be nice to charge an extra buck or two and donate those proceeds to the site.

I really like the silhouette idea, something simple and not too colorful. A lot of the motorcycle shirts I see are colorful and really busy, and they mostly end up looking tacky.

If you think you don't need a helmet, you probably don't

Might want to check out that cafepress.com site...  make up a logo and text, and they'll make it available on mugs, t-shirts, sweatshirts, totes, etc. pretty automatically. You don't make much off the sales, but they handle everything.

Let me know when they become available I'll buy a few.

Even if the voices aren't real they have some good ideas.

Cafepress is very convenient, nice and easy to use, plus no one has to really be in charge of ordering and maintaining an inventory.  But the last time I ordered a shirt from them I wasn't thrilled with the quality of the graphic.  I don't know exactly how to describe it but it faded or let the t-shirt fuzzies through the graphic making it look a bit fade.  Then again, they may have improved their process since I got that shirt a year or two ago.  Just something to think about.

edit:  Cafepress may be a good way to get things rolling though, as every GStwin t-shirt attempt in the past has fizzled

I would be willing to buy a few only if proceeds help support this site.... plus as long as they are not squidly.... but I could always use another shirt to wrench in.
Common sense in not very common.

If anyone likes this idea, I can work out a bunch like it (different angles, etc) and folks can vote? also I can do higher res, b&w, etc...

Hang out there, we may flame, but we don't hate.

My attitude is in serious need of readjustment, and I'm ok with that.

the accents were fotoshop. I'm working on a better one now.
