Help Improve Our Shirts

Sign in to disble this ad
We recently got a bunch of shirts printed. They are alright. We ended up rushing the process a little faster than we probably should have (also working with limited colors limits ideas a bit). I am not completely happy with them. Any ideas on what we can do to make a more attractive shirt next time around?

So I take it you're all right handed?

Maybe a dirty, scrummy pic of a brain on a sidewalk?

I really like the top two. I wouldn't buy the other two.

I like the top one. A lot. I'd buy it.

The text on the bottom one is kinda lame IMO, just doesn't fit.

I dig the text on the second one, but I'm not much on anything being on the back of my shirts. Of the 30-40 shirts I own, I believe 2 have something on the back.

Color. More expensive but worth it. How about bringing the image of the brain down a bit by using a dark color? Like purple?

Really dig the font used on the first one and the only thing missing is an arrow on the back pointing to the left cortex!

Put that arrow there and you've got it!

Thanks for the ideas. Some people on the street have asked me if the brain is a "nut" or a "nutsack."

There used to be a cartoon image of a man's brain where the brain was made up of female bodies (similar to the sex on a man's mind image of Freud). Unfortunately I cannot find it, but that would look cool.
I prefer the script on the first shirt, otherwise they are cool shirts, wouldnot change a thing.
