Ok, I am still working on the t-shirts.We wanted to setup a Cafe Press situation but, they are expensive and that won't allow any money to go towards Brews-Bros operations.So here's how I think it can run.I contact a local screen printer and order the shirts based on a realistic count from this poll. That will set the pricing. When the shirts are done, I can ship out under my FedEx account number, (FedEx ground is about the cheapest rates going).Payments will be through the Brews-Bros and they can pay me back after the sale is made.I am not making a dime on this. All proceeds will go to keep this board up and running.I know alot of people have someone they know who can screen print the shirts, and I appreciate that, but, then the shirts have to be shipped to a central point, (me or someone else) and then have to be re-shipped-adding to the final cost.Let me know what you think of the logo and we can take it from there.[attachment=69:Brews_Bros.jpg

If I buy a tee shirt, do I get a free lawnmower?

Sure, I can hook you up the The Goat Lady and see if she can send you one of your love children to raise.

is the logo small on the front and large on the back?

[DuncanDad]

Probably go with small on the front with "We're Gettin' the Banned Back Together" on the back in white with the web address under that. That will add to the cost of the shirts but, I'm open to suggestions.I don't like the full back printing of t-shirts. It's hot and after a while the screen print starts cracking and looks crappy.

my 2 centslike the logo and tag line a lot, but i think we'd be remiss if we didn't include something that tells the casual viewer that the website is about homebrewing. otherwise it's just an inside joke. just thinking of ways to generate more traffic and membership.../my 2 cents

While I might buy one I doubt I would ever wear it in public

Am I the only XXX Lard Ass in the bunch? Man, you all are a spindly bunch of women.

don't think of it as xxx lardass, think of it as being on the top of the t-shirt size bell curve.*is only slightly behind on the bell-curve*

Is there a size guide? I've got large shirts that are way too small and large shirts that are too big, so I'd like to get an idea.

I'm looking at the 6.1 oz Hanes 100% cotton Beefy T-shirts. If that helps. As for a size guide, well, I really don't have anything.

As much as that tag line cracks me up, it's not a very good advertisement for this web site. It's made sense as a transitional banner here but long-term, even something as generic as "talking globally, brewing locally" will do more for explaining the purpose of the site.

personally i like logo shirts (for the most part) to be white... the logos usually stand out better... i'd put a smallish www.brews-bros.xyz logo at the top of the shirt back and on the chest (left breast anyway) I'd put an altered version of the one you've got

I'm open to changing things up.

While I understand Matt's point, it does then lose the Blues Brothers reference. The question is, at least as I see it, is this an ad for the site, or a commemoration of the creation of the site. I personally see it as the later, and that's why I'm willing to buy a shirt. Just my .02.Please not Black by the way.

"talking globally, brewing locally"

anything BUT this...
