FinalGear Shirts - Voting thread

Quiky · March 10th, 2009, 7:04 PM

This is the voting thread for t-shirts.. It is only a few days because of the turnaround times required to make the shirts, as we want them to be ready by April 2nd.

Top design gets printed.
And color choices; Red, Blue, Black..

This is a multiple-choice thread. Choose ONE design, and ONE color.

If you don't see your design here, it means that we had to reject it due to complexity, color usage, or legal matters.

UTTER PIRATES FTW

Shawn · March 10th, 2009, 7:37 PM

I like both the rep one and Utter Pirates, but the rep one is a bit obscure so I'm going to vote for Utter Pirates.

Might actually buy one this year, too. images/smilies/smile.gif

Elvis313 · March 10th, 2009, 7:38 PM

wait a second, I didn't see the "pirates" one when voting, make that +1 for me if possible

Quiky · March 10th, 2009, 7:45 PM

What will likely happen: Top 2 will get printed.

teeb · March 10th, 2009, 7:48 PM

I really like the 'car keys' design, but it's a bit hard to make out. If it stood out a bit more it'd easily be my #1 choice.

nate_bartlet · March 10th, 2009, 8:14 PM

voted for the black version of the 'i was the stig' design... really made me smile.

Speedtouch · March 10th, 2009, 8:23 PM

I voted for keys and Utter pirates. I think the keys one would be better to have a black background with white details, and as only a small(ish) logo in a corner, and not over the whole shirt. The Utter pirates one is a great idea (took me a bit to get it images/smilies/tongue.gif

), but it would look better if the 'www.finalgear.com' bit was better than just standard text - i.e. the same as 'Utter Pirates'. Sorry that I couldn't decide on which one images/smilies/sad.gif

But definitely needs to be black.

VMLN8R · March 10th, 2009, 8:32 PM

I voted for Utter Pirates in black. Like others I think the keys one is a nice idea but doesn't translate well on a shirt.

argatoga · March 10th, 2009, 8:36 PM

I think a bit more time could have been used with the designs. Perhaps people can start working on the next T-shirt after this one hits the presses.

LeVeL · March 10th, 2009, 8:49 PM

"I was the Stig" in blue. Why no white, btw? That'd be rockin, imo

BerserkerCatSplat · March 10th, 2009, 8:54 PM

Aaargh, torn between Was the Stig, Rep, and Pirates.

Twerp128 · March 10th, 2009, 8:56 PM

I have to go with, "I was the Stig." Though I think it be best with just the text, "I was the Stig."

Paco · March 10th, 2009, 9:10 PM

I truly despise the popularity of black shirts...

I've got a million billion trillion quadrillion black friggin shirts already and every cool shirt design I happen upon comes in nothing but black. I know it's not feasible for you guys to print these in multiple colors when black is such a safe bet, I just need to express my discontent for all you damn conformists voting for yet another black shirt.

That being said, Utter Pirates in the white/red font would only work on a black shirt, but if the font were white/blue on a charcoal shirt or grey/silver on a blue shirt that'd be titties...

Brother Michael · March 10th, 2009, 9:26 PM

I really like the "Country Road" design, but I would like to see it inverted, so I took the liberty of doing just that. Also I made a quick mock up of the backside for a t-shirt. I Hope yeeha won't mind, this is HIS design, not mine. I just wanted to play around a little. I'm not good at designing myself, therefore didn't send anything in the first place. Anyway, here are my ideas, if anyone is interested.

Front (yeeha's design):

Back, this one is my "design":

http://img299.imageshack.us/img299/6724/bothback.jpg

And I made also a quick mockup about the one with the keys, just to see how it transfres onto a shirt. Again, NOT my design, this belongs to matt2000:

mgkdk · March 10th, 2009, 9:42 PM

That 'utter pirates' is really cool, but the www.finalgear.com looks misplaced, maybe just make it with the 'utter pirates' and logo on the front. Then www.finalgear.com (and maybe the logo) or a slightly bigger version of the one on the front of the first t-shirt could be on the back?

STIG_mata · March 10th, 2009, 9:53 PM

I was the STig is the go. The pirates one looks a bit like "Pprates", could be read as Utter Prats".
The keys are subtle but good too.Well done matt2000.

Blind_Io · March 10th, 2009, 10:03 PM

I really like the car keys design, it's subtle. When I wear my first-gen FinalGear shirt I sometimes have people tap me on the shoulder and ask what it's about, which is a nice way to meet petrol heads and introduce new people to the boards.

THGL · March 10th, 2009, 10:04 PM

Damn those "complexity, color usage, or legal matters." images/smilies/wacko.gif

j/k I'm still undecided on my vote. Gonna let them sink in for a bit.

CrazyRussian540 · March 10th, 2009, 10:08 PM

The "I was the stig" shirt made me laugh. And the keys are really good too. I can't decide which ones I like.
