The idea is this: Comment with a graphic or a link to your graphic, or post your idea for a design, and replies to those can be recs or feedback; but let's try not to start a new comment thread unless you're posting an idea. It will just help clear the clutter.
[Note by Seth C, 02/11/10 5:05 AM CST ] I'm editing here to remind everyone to please rec. the submission that you like the most and in about a week, we'll vote on the best three or four.
This is a FanPost and does not necessarily reflect the views of Double-T Nation's writers or editors. It does reflect the views of this particular fan though, which is as important as the views of Double-T Nation's writers or editors.

Great Design. Simple and clean. Less is more.
This design would look good on grey(vintage look), black, white, charcoal(vintage look). You could even do without the back graphic. Most printers charge more for front and back so this might be a way to lower the cost and or increase Seth’s margins.
Side note: A username can be added to the sleeve or back or wherever with not much cost to the buyer just by taking the shirt to a screen printer that personalizes various garments.
I would like to see the front logo be over the heard and have www.doubletnation.com instead of Est. 2006, but otherwise, i think this is my favorite so far. nice and simple
I was thinking there definitly needs to be:
DoubleTNation.com on any shirt, plus a comment like"For serious discussion of all things Tech." or for “Adult” discussion. Anyway, we got to put something short and sweet in there so people will know what we are and how to find us. (that’s right, we and us, we’re a community even though some of us don’t really contribute much, but we all benefit from the hard work of others. Me being more of a taker. And KWash being the town drunk. :) you learn some new words if you pull up next to him at the bar to watch a game. (fun natured ribbing font)

Posting Help
SB Nation doesn’t have the ability to upload images directly. If anyone has an image, drawing, etc that they want want to post but don’t know how, I’ll be glad to help. If you have a facebook account and post it there, I can lift it and post it here (you can delete it from Facebook once I have it). It doesn’t have to be Facebook; it can be any site where you can upload images. Or you can email it to me and I’ll get it posted that way.

Should we be nervous about using someone else's artwork?
I think it’s a cool design, but I think if we use the girl, then shouldn’t we ask for permission first?
Go Raiders . . .
Double-T Nation
Your are correct! We must ask permission!
I used someone else’s artwork. And I bet he wouldn’t like to see it utilized without his permission. I also did a “somewhat decent” job of making the girls arm do a Guns-Up.
If you/we/all decided to go with a design like this, then by utilizing my “somewhat decent” editing job, the designer would know what to go with.
http://rkullman.blogspot.com/2010/01/commissions.html
My standard rate for doing the single-figure sports commissions is $250. For that you get both the original hand drawn art (size 11″ × 13″ or thereabouts) , plus a fancy color print of the image with all the logos, uniform details, etc. in there. That may sound kinda steep, but keep in mind that it’s a totally one of a kind item, and that you can be specific with details such as likeness, number for the jersey, and other fun stuff like that.

i like this design too, but if you don’t want to pay that ridiculous $250 fee, try Scarborough Specialties in Lubbock ( http://www.scarspec.com/index.html ) , i have known a lot of people who have used them in the past and they always do a great job with their designers (they have some examples on their website), so they may be able to do something similar to this design, but for a cheaper price. Another company in Lubbock that i have personally used before for shirt design is Advanced Graphix ( http://www.advancedgraphix.net/) they are great at taking a design and printing it onto different types of shirts for a really good price if you do decide to pay this designer and use this exact print.
Just some suggestions…

Just a comment from someone who runs websites.
I’ll bet Seth would appreciate adding the “.com” to one side of the shirts or putting it somewhere so that people know it’s a website.
That would be good, but the logos
I posted yesterday didn’t have the .com, which is why a bunch of these submissions don’t have the .com. It would be nice, but maybe it would cause people to ask what DTN is?

Here's TTUMAR's first submission (I'm guessing with a black t-shirt?):
Go Raiders . . .

I like the back design
especially if it were squared on the pocket of a pocket t.
The back could be a funny black and white photo of one of those funny old pics posters use on message boards making fun of message board tough guys, dumb posts, trolls, etc.

This was a joke.....but then again, I'd buy one.
"We have a running game at Tech......sometimes we throw short passes." -Mike Leach
I am recing this one.
The main issue is that the gpsf is from Kirby, so we’d be using someone else’s artwork, but if we could get around that I’d buy.
GPSF is the biggest meme of this website. It is the most appropriate shirt for an inside joke.
That picture is also really small and I don’t know if it could be blown up enough to look good on a shirt. :(
could your design be enlarged enough to fit on the back?
I really like yours that included painted face girl, the bell ringer, and the gpsf. Keep TTUMAR’s DTN logo over the heart and your design on the back.
TTUMAR’s DTN logo would look good over the heart on all shirts and then can put different designs on the back (pistols, flags, GPSF)

"I’ve established a reputation for integrity. I have maintained those high standards" - Craig James
I mentioned these items at the end of yesterday's post:
1. We cannot use any form or fashion of the double-t. I would imagine that’s a big no-no, even if the copyright has expired. There’s no reason to even take a chance.
2. I would highly doubt that we’ll be able to customize each shirt with names on the back, but we could all take our shirts to your local sports store (where you get all of the team apparel) and get the name put on the back.
3. I’m going to rec. this post to get it close to the top and again, keep submitting your ideas by email (doubletnation AT gmail DOT com) and I’ll get them posted the next morning.

What a buzz kill
“1. We cannot use any form or fashion of the double-t. I would imagine that’s a big no-no, even if the copyright has expired. There’s no reason to even take a chance.”
"A closed mouth gathers no foot"
I think it's copyrighted material, which is
why the double-t isn’t used in any DTN logos. I wanted to stay away from that.

Permission may need to be granted. I’ll spearhead this if you wish to proceed.
"A closed mouth gathers no foot"
1. Bummer...
I’ve always thought I would absolutely love the existing image and banner if you could just work in a double-t… space the “na_ion” a little lower, with the base of the current T as the ~ top of the lower T… I imagined there was a reason this was not already part of the design…

Copyright and Trademark Issues
Just thought I’d shed a little light on the copyright/trademark confusion. A copyright is granted automatically to any written or published work without application to any governmental entity. The copyright is usually enforceable by the copyright holder for a certain amount of time after creation. Disney is starting to bump up against that limit and every so often Congress updates the copyright statutes to extend the time, allowing Disney to keep Mickey Mouse under copyright protection. Most anything created after Mickey Mouse is going to be protected.
Trademarks (which is what Tech has on their logo, TT, etc.) are registered with the US Trademark people. If you want a trademark on a brand or symbol associated with your product, you pay a registration fee and it’s yours as long as you continue to use it. If you drop use of the trademarked item for 5 years, it’s back in the public domain. There is otherwise no statute of limitations on the use of a trademark. Tech can continue to claim trademark protection on the TT symbol to infinity (and beyond), if they so choose.
So, don’t mess with the double T! It doesn’t look like any of our DTN Legal Squad have intellectual property expertise so we’d have to hire outside counsel – could get expensive – and we’ve already designated T-Shirt profits to the adoption fund.

Just a thought,
I looked at the ProBlog site, but did not see FLAGS being offered. Have not had time to contact them about the possibility (had to defend myself on other posts), but will. Flags = tailgating. (as does beer)
"There's going to be ups and downs but you have to enjoy the battle." Mike Leach
Just heard back from Paul Wisse at ProBlog
They do not offer flags at this time, but I am sure we can find someone to make them.
"There's going to be ups and downs but you have to enjoy the battle." Mike Leach
FLAGS WOULD BE COOL
Especially if there was a cool quote or phrase similiar to the come and take it flag.
Also, I would order a few coozies. Not that I need any seeings how I have a drawer overflowing with them but a double t-nation coozie would be sweet.
One side could be the double t-nation logo or design and the other the football schedule or funniest quote of the year from a poster.

It is supposed

I think the problem is that you need to add “.jpg” to the end of the url after you paste it into the image dialog box here at DTN. The address must end in .jpg or the software won’t recognize it as a picture. Notice there’s a DOT in front of .jpg.

I like this one
And the guns are remindful of those probably used by the old Calvary Soldiers that rode with Col. MacKenzie way back when…..
TTpilk Psalm 117:
1 ¶ O praise the LORD, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people.
2 For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the LORD endureth for ever. Praise ye the LORD.
These are 1860 Colt Army
cap and ball revolvers. In 1871 the army had many of these converted to fire a metallic cartridge. Since MacKenzie was fighting in Texas between 1871 and 1874 it is a good bet some of his guys were carrying the conversion model.
I find the 1860 to be one of the finest looking hand guns ever made.
A much sleeker gun than the 1873 “Peace Maker” that you see in most westerns.
They are also a very natural aiming hand gun. I can nail a pie pan at 75 yards, and a large pizza pan is in trouble at 100. You can never be too safe with marauding pie and pizza pans loose on the plains.
Who is John Galt?

I'd buy one of each of these three.
And one thing about shirts in general. We’ve probably all had those silk-print shirts where the words/pictures have that sticky, rubbery feel to them. You know, the kind that looks great at first until they go through the drier a couple of times. Then the printing starts to crack and curl and pretty soon the shirt is relegated to working on the car.
I’d rather pay a few dollars more and get a shirt that will last. I’m just saying….

This is fun
But I like bmaxw’s #4 version of the two pistols.
TTpilk Psalm 117:
1 ¶ O praise the LORD, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people.
2 For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the LORD endureth for ever. Praise ye the LORD.
I liked the Pilkmiester's second one
Not this one, or the one in the canyon, but the one in the middle is " just" right.
Give 'Em Hell Tech!!!!!
Also, I know I have no creative skillz
But whichever design we choose, am I alone in thinking the web address should be significantly larger. A. We’re trying to drive hits to dtn, and B. If it’s at the bottom if the shirt in small letters, we are missing our mission. Would a large doubletnation.com on the back shoulder Luke where last names on jerseys go be tacky. Also, the back is definitly the place for the address. You get way more time to look at it when you’re walking behind someone or standing behind them as opposed to just a passing glance when you pass someone or are facing them because people don’t want to get caught staring.
Give 'Em Hell Tech!!!!!
We could put it right across our chest
Oh, that only works for girls. Never mind.
