Community (put it on your) Chest

[Guest Kong76]

We gave up on the Community Chest months ago but we really need to do
some fund raising. Faith and Fear has a great shirt. I bought one around
the time when we were selling our first shirt and it's held up nice through
a ton of washes and many questions from strangers of what the heck are
those numbers anyway. I figure we'll use that company for production.

I propose a contest of image submissions in this thread that we could
eventually vote on, say by 2/1 unless we get a knockout, for a forum tee.
The back of the tee would simply have the url like Faith and Fears does in
one color that fits the front color scheme.

Submit a two or three color (max) image and state/show what color the
is/would be and we'll all pick one for fund raising purposes.

Winner gets a 48 baseball card collection of worthless '70s and '80 Mets but
the worthlessness of them is debatable if you post here.

I've always been rather fond of this design.



A special thanks to Diamond Dad for modeling this great design at the CPF 4th of July gathering in Washington, D.C.

Great idea. What happened to the Flynn shirt? I bought me one of the RAMETS ones, but I'd pony up some dough for the Woody one, too.

[metsmarathon]

i never got around to finishing this... i should get back to it... m.e.t.b.o.t. needs more menace...

[A Boy Named Seo]

Hilarious.

I can dig out that CPF logo thing I made a few years ago.
That may have been as little as four colors, or could easily be reduced to that.

I get the impression though, looking at the linked T, that you are looking for something more no frills and simple.


Edge, did I ever give you the revamped Flynn back?

Wow, that was fast. Thanks to you both! I'll put up a CC Link today during the first football game.

You're welcome Thanks for running the place! Doing something quickly is way easier than trying to remember to do it later

Good - back in the black (although repaying Fran for some of the outlay would be a good thing). Now how about those t-shirts?

It occurs to me that a three or four gray scale of something like this would be pretty cool looking on tee shirt. Or a three or four scale something. I always liked the Shea C concept. Can mr. marathon give it a whirl?

DocTee Jan 05 2009 03:52 PM

Went to order a number shirt from FAF, but they are limited in sizes. I need an XL.

I got a 2XL, but this was months and months ago.
