    Here's a rough draft of the overall design, shown as white on black background. Just to give an idea what it will look like.

    Here are the options for the colors, just showing the 2.5RS so you can see a bit more detail.

    Ok, added blue/black and yellow/black. That's it for now for adding color combos.

    I'm not sure about doing multiple color options, if there was enough interest to do two runs of shirts maybe, I'll have to talk to whoever is going to be ordering the shirts and find out.

    --- ok, fine, one more. I added gray/black because I'm thinking I might like that combo myself.

    I'm not a big fan of black shirts, so I voted blue with yellow.

    Newbie questions:
    When might the shirts be ready to purchase?
    Will they be availible in hooded sweatshirts and long-sleeve T's, or just T-shirts?
    Is there a cost sheet somewhere?

    Has anyone ever ordered stuff from CafePress? How is the quality?

    If we did something like that, I could upload all the color combos and people could order whatever they wanted, shirt, hat, coffee mug, etc.

    Just an idea...

    I have a friend that sells stuff through CafePress, and he wears it all the time to promote his business. Never heard any complaints. I think it's a good idea.

    I've worked with both Cafepress and Uberprints.com before, and I was happy with their products.

    Here's my take on it. Cafepress is overpriced. And while the quality of the products is pretty high, your selection of colors and such is very low.

    If you want, I can shoot you a link to the guys that did all the t3hw00t hoodies. They have a good turnaround, and the price was incredible. (you seriously wont believe your eyes.) But I'd avoid Cafepress unless you want everyone to spend 25 dollars a piece on shirts.

    **edit** I think they also did GrimmSpeed's stuff.

    The design only worked with three cars. I left out peanut eyes because:
    1.) The bug eye is very distinct look
    2.) GC is the hottest looking Impreza IMO
    3.) 06+ is the current design
    and 4.) Did not want anyone saying I was biasing to my own car... 1-3 really sealed it for me though.

    The pricing is coming. Other products will not be in the first set but it could be talked about to see if there is enough interest. I think there might be.
    This is for the colors. The design has already been to vote.

    Yup. Honestly, I love the design, but am unsure as to if I would even buy one if it was the black shirt with white text.

    I am liking white w: black. I ordered up a RS25 shirt that was blue w/ yellow and white and black. the w/b combo is much better. Although black/blue is very tempting.

    jason can you pm the company who did the t"hwààt stuff, I may need to have so,e shirts ,ade in teh future.

    Here's the pic of the actual cars. No I didn't blend the GC and GD. Is there something on the GC that doesn't look right? The pic of the three cars together is earlier, the fog lights weren't done in that pic.

    Yeah, we're going to go with the poll decision. I'm hoping _maybe_ we can print up a second color too, but we'd have to get enough interest in a second color to get enough of an order to get a good price.

    Anyway, I have the 02 wrx and 2.5rs pretty good. I just need to work on the 06 now. Here's how the 02 and 01 are looking so far. I wish I had more time to put into it though.

    Ok, so I'm pretty much done with the cars themselves. The imageable area on the shirt is going to be about 12x13 inches. The three cars by themselves don't take up much room. I think I need to take some detail out of the cars, it just looks too cluttered at that size. I was also thinking about adding something more to the shirt to take up some space... anyway, what do you think about something like this? yes? no?

    ok, I'm getting tired and frustrated here. It doesn't look as well printed out, I think the lines are going to be too thin for a t-shirt, it won't stand out much. To keep the width on the lines thick enough, the detail needs to go way down. Otherwise it needs to be bigger or maybe add more colors.

    enough for tonight, how about we just do gc8 only? :D, no? ok, I'll work on it more tomorrow.

    Dang, I realy like the idea of the three. Looks good with the map. So what does it say under MNsubaru?

    If it can not be done I like the GC but really want to see the three on there. I have another idea that would fill the shirt better but it is a tone more work... I will bring it up next year when we start this MUCH earlier.

    It just says Fuji Heavy Industries.

    We can do the three cars, the lines will just be kinda thin, I'm not sure how well that shows up on the shirt. Does anyone know how many lines per inch there will be for the shirts? I can print some proofs at the correct resolution and see how they'll look.
