    Moderators:
    I sense the beginning of an annual design competition for the artwork used on the years XJBikes.com fundraising T-shirt.
    Please create a site where finished designs can be uploaded, then we can have a vote on the preferred design for the year.
    I'd say give everyone a deadline, and then we can announce the vote.

    This could be a lot of FUN!

    I'm definately up for a couple of shirts at KevinEleven's announced price of $18 w/shipping - which includes a $5 per shirt donation to XJBikes.com.

    Let's get this going, OK?

    I'm in on the contest, I've dabbled a bit with banners and avatars in the past and think it would be fun.

    The iron ons suck, at least I think. The quality isn't what you expect when you print them out. If there is a contest, I am in on it. I have designed many a t-shirts in my past. Just tell me where and when.

    No pictures on shirts please, that is incredibly tachy IMO. Just a simple small logo over left breast pocket area, and maybe some whitty phrase or something on the back like "Rick says 'Check your brushes!'"

    I think the Rick phrase would be a GREAT inside joke and get folks laughing (not to mention the questions it would be bound to raise).

    I'm pretty sure the tuning fork logo is trademarked.

    The XJ bikes on the front looks good, although I'm probably going to only be doing 1 color. I can probably find diffrent color shirts, and do darker inks on them-- black, grey, blue, red, green, maybe an orange. We'll have to see. If we can get 30 or so commitments, it'd be a go for me.

    You know: Rick says "Check your brushes" gives me a thought.

    As a community we're as much about maintaining and restoring these machines as we are about riding them. How about XJ bikes logo on breast and some parts on back (brushes, emulsion tubes, carb slides, valve shims and of course a fuse block).

    How about putting this on the backside, seeing how pretty much all of us have done this one time or another:

    I can photochop the Yamaha Motor USA print out of the pic, and its a single color, making it cheaper to create the t-shirts. Maybe put something like, "Seafoam helped my ED! -- Rick" somewhere below it?

    I like Mumbles design, with the big tuning fork logo on the back, and the xjbikes on the front. Maybe a lawyer type can chime in, but I believe it's ok to use the trademark provided it's for your own personal use, and not for profit?

    Im with dispatch on this one, except I would like it to say xj wizard says check your brushes..

    We all know who coined that phrase :)

    Good stuff there mumbles and we could always sub something else for the tuning forks or change it in some fashion... maybe even put the brushes on there in some kinda fashion.just my .2 cents..
