Do to the overwhelming request along with the decision of the T-shirt committee we are going to offer BOTH LONG SLEEVE & SHORT SLEEVE IN DESERT TAN & RED ONLY!!!

I apologize for the poor quality of these photos, however you can see for yourselves that you were all right about the colors (3 out of 4 requests for long sleeves asked for tan & red). So here we go http://216.196.239.66/cw/shirt/shirt.html

If I can free up my Web developer, we should have an ordering page ready to go next week.

No critch, the shirtman's artist wants to show us of few samples of her idea for the front. The back is the way it will be. I'll keep you all posted.

The back is solid, very cool - its the "sad-expression" logo on the front I am concerned about.

What if....

Continuous____
WAVE_______/

I can't do it... like jimh has it on the site... Wouldn't that look better? No?

Now all I need is another Whaler to replace the Montauk! It will be good to have the t-shirts while waiting.

Thanks.

The original design was the same as Jim's FORUM WHALER logo above, but with continuousWave on there. Boston Whaler put a stop to that because they think that it's too close to their logo(I know what you think because I didn't think it did either) so let's not go there.

The artist wants to keep the arched continuousWave.com with a Whaler logo or the sine wave under it. We tried to do the continuousWave.com in a sea wave way but it didn't work.

Please feel free to post your ideas, it ain't a done deal yet.

Also, we will have a Paypal link and a P.O. Box to order.

I know we have some good artists and good designers out there. If you can come up with a good design that uses continuousWave.com for the front of the T-shirt please attach it to an email and send it to cwshirt@yahoo.com . Please remember we have to fit it on a pocket.

If we use your idea, I'll buy you a shirt!

You might want to move the back logo so it is down a bit from the neck, but you can be the judge of that.

As to the front, i would add the whaler loge on the arch of the continuouswave.com line but that would be it.

Keep it simple, and set up the ordering!

I'm sure there are many here who could do a much better image of "the smirk."

Wouldn't that be a hoot?

Don't tell him though.

I'll have the artwork and new ideas tomorrow for the comitee and then we'll flip a coin and get this thing rolling.

Here is a lame Atari version of what I was thinking...

I am still partial to white w/ red printing...as it repersents whaler graphics i.e. white hull, red lettering etc...

I agree that the "continuouswave.com" graphic deserves some real special design work. I liked the idea of the cresting/breaking waves. When combined with the Boston Whaler reference on the back it pulls the two together nicely. Whaler has spent millions promoting their boats and their logo is recognized world wide. Emphasis here should certainly be on the promoting the site.

I wonder if the numbers requesting tan shirts represents those that own whalers with desert tan Hulls over those with white hulls :-)? Good Job to all that have been working on this project.

Jay I like the Montauk or the smirk. No need for another whaler logo. If nothing else the harpoon is another great idea. Maybe a small logo on a sleeve or on the long sleeve shirts run a harpoon down each one.

These are two designs that I have always liked. Some kind of format like this with Continuous Wave would look best on the pocket. You don't want the whole shirt to be too busy, But that front right now looks like a Hanes T with a stain on the pocket- we need to fill that pocket space up.
