Title: GADSDEN FLAG - T-SHIRTS
Post by: deepwater on May 29, 2009, 01:16:42 PM
if anybody's interested, I got ahold of a friend about doing a silk screen of the Gadsden Flag. I'm waiting on a reply for prices, but if yo want one let me know. the more I buy from him the cheaper it will be. he has sent shirts to the states before so is familiar with what is acceptable in prices. also I will be flying to the states soon and can send them cheaper from the states. I don't plan on profit with this so the price will be cost + shipping.

he's making up some drawings now. with the original yellow background, and or black/ white. I'm gone tomorrow so he'll send me everything on Sunday. I already made a deal for 50 shirts of varying sizes but if we get a good response we'll make more. also, what do you guys think of the color? I think original flag on black or white background is best but any color can be done.

I'd go with the black shirt.  It should stand out real well on it.






Anyway Black and Gold ............ Here we go STEELERS here we go!  ;D

he has a design program where he can super impose the drawing on an actual picture of someone's t-shirt so he'll send me some of the designs with different colors etc... I'll post them when I get them.

I like the idea of gray, Black is nice, but I get too warm in black.  If only black, I'm still interested.

remember, it's silk screen, any color can be used. you want white, black, grey, purple. it doesn't matter. when we get a price we'll start figuring out exactly who wants what. color shirt,size, etc.. I think the flag itself should stay the original colors (except maybe the grass, just make it black like the snake for economy?)

we can print them either side, and the brand? it's a local place that makes the shirts, but they are good quality.

Yes, Yes, and Yes.

XL 1) trad. yellow & blk.  1) white & black and 1) black & white.  Print on the front.

Let me/us know, how much and where.

Thank you.

Should wear well at the second amendment march.... 8)

It probably would go over better than the "YOU SUCK" shirt I was going to wear.... ;)

White on blue or black would look good too. Anything except a white shirt would be okay with me.

Whatever color choice you decide to do, make sure it conceals a carry weapon well...  ;D

OK,     looked at the shirts here, expensive compared to what I can get in the states, even shipped here it is cheaper. I'm trying to get the guy to sell me the silk screen so I can make them in the states. also just ordered a bunch of silk screen stuff to try my hand at it when I get back to Florida. and of course once the screen is cleaned you can use any color paint/ink you want.

Let us know when they will be availableand how much and I'm in. One more vote for a black shirt from me

Screw it!!!  I'm going to learn to silk screen on my own and just do it all when I get to Fl. this way you guys can start sending designs or ideas and I can make a screen fairly cheap. come up with some good stuff and I can start a web site or something and sell for profit.  ;D
though here on the forum I don't expect to make more than a minimal amount for my time and effort it would be nice if we can get someone other than the family to give us a little extra income.   :D . in the mean time, I'll keep you huys informed on whether I get some done here or not. and as I said, any ideas on designs etc.. let me know or send them to me.

If you are going to do a bunch and here in FL just get all the sizes mentioned here together and order in increments of 12.  It will be much easier for a shop to print it for you than all the extra expense it would cost for you to do it yourself.  As with anything, the more you order, the less the per unit price is.

Shirt costs go up with size and color.  White will be the cheapest and black is usually the most expensive pre-printing, but it is always prudent to ask if the T-shirt manu. has a present special on a particular color. 

Any color on a darker shirt will need to be "flashed" (essentially a backing of white ink to give proper color to the actual printing).  Actually, now that I'm running my mouth, I could see what the prices are here in Gainesville (college town with a lot of T shirt printers).  PM me and let me know what you are thinking and we can get this thing working.

Have you checked out the web site and get contact info. to see if they offer the shirt
? I know at the rally they handed out flags.   www.gadsdensoc.com

Wasn't the font on the original Gadsden a san-serif font? I created a vector version in black & white. Black on a desert khaki colored shirt would be cool and could even include the green.

When you guys get this figured out, I am so in! My choice would be in 2XL TALL. As previously mentioned, I need to conceal more that just a M&P!  :(

O.K.

I have a friend (actually a friend of a friend) who owns a screen printing company. He's a good guy and on our side. If you get firm numbers on what you want, you might want to give him a ring.

Somehow I don't think Deepwater is going to get much accomplished in his present company.  ;D

Take your time Deepwater, it's not like the problem is going to get better anytime soon.  We have another 17 months before we can send a message to D.C..  Plenty of time for you to hone your craft!

BTW, if that's your bride, she's lovely.  Well done young man!
