Well you did characterize the allusion to the Rainbow Flag as "unfortunate" which can be construed as disparaging. I don't know if that's what you intended or not, but "unfortunate" is not how I would characterize it. The color scheme was inspired by The Dark Side of the Moon EP, but I have absolutely no negative feelings toward the LBGT community or being associated with them in any case.

Unfortunate because its a great image but it comes with heavy connotations. Sorry, but in Atlanta anything rainbow is IMMEDIATELY seen as related to that community.

My only suggestion, if not mentioned yet, is to have them made of microfiber.

Here's an updated version of mine with a fixed mount (it now has the right number of contacts and the screws have been removed). I really like the Dark Side of the Moon inspired shirt and would happily wear one; I honestly don't care what people think of me for doing so, neither do I think it will have much effect in the UK apart from 'That looks a bit like a Pink Floyd album cover doesn't it?'

Some of the other shirt designs are really nice as well, I think this one could be tight.

Maybe some will inspire a new version.

Well, that's not necessarily a negative to all comers, even as such: maybe not so safe to wear down here, I suppose: a good question would be if there'd be much hassle about different colors of printing: if different colors are no big deal, monochrome versions might be in order just generally cause we can be a fussy bunch about these things.

I think the rainbow looks pretty sharp, actually, but I tend to shy away from bright colors, myself.

(It doesn't take much to make me feel like a flashing billboard or something.

I think shirts are limited to 3 colors.. maybe Adam can clarify?

mnj11 · 02-27-2015, 12:25 PM

some of the entries from last time are very good indeed...how many tshirt designs will be printed out ?

**Amegalo** · 02-27-2015, 01:54 PM

Tesla: thank you. I present a special situation since the colors of the rainbow together make one.

Lol
