Alright, the images are after the jump. For this first round vote for your favorite. We'll do a couple more rounds to have 3 or 4 shirts to chose from. Regarding the time-frame, it's my understanding that ProBlogStores can get the t-shirts going fairly quickly, well before the spring game. If I've missed a design, please let me know in the comments or presented the wrong design, then I apologize in advance.
Option #2 - Tech Pirate
Ed: keep in mind we would have to purchase original artwork, but maybe this is something I can eventually get done.
Option #3 - TTUMAR
Option #4 - TTUMAR
Option #5 - redraidersax
Option #6 - San Antonio Raider
Option #7 - TTUMAR
Ed. I forgot that TTUMAR emailed this to me so it's a late edition. Not his fault, but rather my fault for failing to post. Sorry.
Option #8 - saber
Option #9 - merrik
Option #10 - bmaxw
Option #11 - bmaxw
Option #12 - TTPilk645

I want to know as well

Great Job
Nice work everyone. I would be happy to call any of the above our official T-Shirt. Thanks for all the work to come up with the designs.
Option #6 is actually SARR...

disregard, you got it, im an idiot.

All are great designs....
I would wear anyone of them, but my favorites are number 3 (voted for) and number 6. Its refreshing to see some cool Tech merchandise. Is it just me, or does Tech have some of the corniest T-shirts? There are exceptions, of course…most of the Nike and Under Armour stuff is pretty cool, but everything else….in general….is pretty tacky! Always has been! I remember walking into the Double T Shoppe or the other places on University or in the Student Center and not being able to find one thing I would want to wear. Everything would be in Zubaz print or have a Teddy Bear on it or have a Tommy Hilfiger or Luckenbach, Texas knock off-logo.
I actually think there are some really cool designs available at the different spirit shops. My problem is finding just one.
Maybe they've gotten better now...
My impression is probably dated….been almost ten years since I’ve been to the spirit shops….but I just remember alot of really corny stuff, like a plaid double T on a navy blue sweatshirt….like something my dad would probably buy me for Christmas that I have to act excited about recieving, but in the back of my mind I know it’s going to sit in my closet for years until I donate it to the goodwill.

Well done, boys!! I haven’t read all the recent posts regarding the shirts, but will more than one option get printed up?
Good (we were talking about you) ;-)

Yes, Seth said he'll probably go with 3 or 4 designs

Need to get them in long sleeve shirts as well.
Probably will have the option to order that way. Nice job on all these designs!
"You've got to find your inner pirate" - Mike Leach
Too late to add to the vote
But combining 6 and 7 would look good. Under the DTN would be the web address for DTN and the flag on the back.
Could get it in red, black, or white

I agree...
I think if you do that you have close to a 20% winner based on whats on the board now.
"We have a running game at Tech......sometimes we throw short passes." -Mike Leach
Seth, SARR and I would like to collaborate. Can you combine our ideas?
"We have a running game at Tech......sometimes we throw short passes." -Mike Leach
It was also bump up other ideas, and increase variety.
"We have a running game at Tech......sometimes we throw short passes." -Mike Leach
SARR and TTUMAR
I received TTUMAR’s email with the collaboration. I’ve never removed an option from a poll on DTN, so I don’t necessarily know what it would do to the results of the current poll, and rather than mess that up, is it okay with the two of you, I’ll put up the option of the two of you with one idea on the next round?
Go Raiders . . .
Double-T Nation
Sure, I'm cool with whatever....
If SARR wants to stick with his thats fine too, there are plenty of good designs to go around.

Would like to pimp for votes for RaiderSax #5
If we are going to have several options…I love having the old guns up from the Dippels in the 70’s and the generation congealing motto of Old school, new school our school that I think SARR penned.
We should have 3 distintively looking opitons…..

I really dig the old school guns up. Its a clean looking shirt IMO.

The Old Man Said...........
He discussed using the DT with an attorney way back, and he said the “hand” and the double T are public domain. I’m guessing that any non-trademarked double T would be in the public domain. He said “knock yourself out” using his design. I guess if that design makes the cut, I’ll buy him 1.
"A closed mouth gathers no foot"
Option #1
Option has a sophisticated look. How about using the front graphics on both the front and back.
Anyone else amazed?
Over 180 DTN members have voted, but only like 20 members post on the site on a given day. Where are all these people?

I have barely been on here this week. and have mellowed since Crhistmas…Now all I want to do is kick Hance in the nuts, not kill him.

Does it make sense to have one of the options in long sleeve?
" I crammed 4 years of Tech into 5"- me
by oldschoolraider on Feb 19, 2010 12:59 PM CST reply actions
Someone else asked that too
And I would assume the printing company could print the design on long and short sleeve shirts. So we should be set.
look on the shirt site, they have several options.
"There's going to be ups and downs but you have to enjoy the battle." Mike Leach
I love the idea of the six shooters on a shirt….. Any way we can get them to be shotguns?? I like the pirate them but since leach is gone we need to go back to out history and tradition of the “get your guns up!” slogan…. Guns would be cool!! Anyone agree/disagree?? Also….. Is there any way we can take the top five finalist and let people re-vote in order to get a clear winner and not have the outliers the other shirts are causing…. My vote was for #10
Did you hear that Wanda...
He called you an outlier…..
"We have a running game at Tech......sometimes we throw short passes." -Mike Leach
I plan on carrying guns to all the games next year
Or until I get put into security prison, whichever comes first.

I like the idea
Let’s all go to the concealed weapon class. Then we will be legal. Oh, they probably exempt the school campus.

Merican words

Other Merican words:
beer, whiskey, guns, tapdance, tatoo, pirate, d&ckhead….er..Hance.
"There's going to be ups and downs but you have to enjoy the battle." Mike Leach
"d&ckhead", cocksucker, shit for brains, asshole, dumb hick, fart sniffer, butt muncher, queer bait, dickweed, idiot......
Just a short list of words that remind me of Hance.
and another side note
how come everything in the comment box is automatically in bold? I dont like it.
Because this is very serious business we are conducting today
and the font has to reflect that. Our voices are a little louder and more important in bold font.
AND NOW I"M YELLING.

I was off work for a few days.
I had to make a deal with the wife that I won’t get on DTN while I’m home. At least not while she can catch me!

I figured you were away because you were pussy-whipped married. I’m sure you had honey-do chores projects the boss wife ordered asked you to do.

We should be able to do better than this.
None are really world class. All seem to be Division 3. I am put off by those with Texas flag. What does Texas flag have to do with TTU? Most people outside of Texas think Eyes of Texas is the state song.
So....
Who are you worried about? That version is my 2nd favorite and I love my state. Don’t let UT dogma steer you away. We all know we have an uphill battle with gen pop.

all nations have a flag
the Texas flag is red white and blue with a star. These flags are red black and white with the DTN logo. It is similar to the TX flag but is also similar to the North Carolina flag. Should we be worried about NASCAR fans too? Either way,I’m looking forward to your D1 submission.

I vote for #12
Of course, it is my creation. The one drawing the most votes (#1) is kind of plain, but very traditional. The two with guns are nice, but I like option #11 better than option #10. If we get one with the silhouette of the raider rider, I prefer the one on my design. The other one which has been around a while, looks like he/she is about to fall off the horse, while mine is running hard with gun up….no pun intended. I also like the flag, but the pocket logo would still be better with my silhouette. But, if there is something placed on or above the pocket area, I think it should be simply “doubletnation.com”, with the pinstripes over and/or below the website line. As others have mentioned, a long-sleeved t-shirt would be OK. A Polo shirt would be nice for the games, or just flaunting the shirt at work or family/friend gatherings.

Hey Pilk-
can you rotate the guns up where the thumb is facing the other way? From this angle it looks as if he is holding his arm up with his forearm facing out, which would be a little unnatural. Or maybe its just me…

It is a tuff angle to tell....
I am assuming that he is in the act of bringing the gun down to fire at the bad guys,
if the thumb was facing the other way when he brings it down to fire it would be upside down.
While I understand that Hip-Hop Gang’stas shoot their guns every which way but straight up and down, Roy, the Duke and Clint held their guns like a proper Merican.
Who is John Galt?
I'll drink to that!
obviously……..

While looking at pilk’s versions on Facebook, that the cowboy in the circle has his arm at that odd angle we were talking about but the later version doesn’t..
