Will they just be straight cotton Tee's, or are you planning on doing something with say a long sleeve baseball jersey design, with Corvette on one sleeve, 1968 - 1982 on the other, a great C3 picture on back and C3VR with (maybe) member name on the left breast, and Pigeon Forge Tennessee and date?

As a screen printer, I'd like to mention it's not cost effective to do several different styles of shirts or so many muliple prints. 

Did anyone go to the Denver Stop for the 50th Corvette Anniversary Caravan?  If so, and you bought a t-shirt, you bought that shirt from us!    What a GREAT group of people we had the pleasure of meeting!!! 

In the design were Corvettes, the date, location and  we would have incorporated the clubs logos that hosted the Denver Stop, but they didn't want their names on the design.  All of this on just a front print.  Money saved by having everything incorporated into the main design.  We sold out of shirts in about 40 minutes!!! 

In Bowling Green, we won the award for the best t-shirt design/printing along the caravan stops offering shirts, from coast to coast!    That was quite an honor and out of all the awards we've won, this is the one that means the most to us.

So keep in mind....keep it simple!  Design can be full color, but incorporate as much as you can into the main design so as not to have to pay for mulitple prints and set ups.

No charge for the professional advice.  LOL

I recently saw some tees that were laser printed with good color and fairly good resolution. What is your opinion of these compared to multi-color screen printing?

Vette(s): 1979, 350sb, as my kids affectionately call it "shit brown" Corvette purchased in 1996. 84,000+ miles. Not a show car, but I love her just the same.

I totally understand that multiple printings increase the cost of the shirt, and in no way wanted to suggest that the creators of this thread are not professionals, and would not create a shirt to be proud of.

My point was more...give me something unique!  Something that doesn't look like every other shirt on the street.  If it costs extra because it's different, well then, point made.

Don't worry though if I truly want the shirt I described I'll work with a local printer I've used before on the design and production and offer the shirt to Adam for sale here on C3VR to all our fabulous members (don't hold your breath, it was just an idea for Pete's sake).
