Hi, I'll answer both your mails at once;
about the colors: we can have as many colors as we want but it weill cost
per color a "clich" and a print .. and then still, you'll have only 2
colors, not all the combinations of this colors (this is not the same like
when you print posters, where you pay for each color but if you choose 3
good colors you can make about anything). Which means when we would have 2
colors it would still suck. Therefor I think it's better to make it only
one color .. you can have lighter shades of this color but this won't make
the background really shine through (don't know if I'm understandable).
Ok, if we give out the T-shirts to a lot of ppl, we About the senshould'n
have the "crew" thing on it. Let's just drop it. I hope Lee or Gus or Tom
or whoever can help us out as I'm not all that good with this kind of
graphics (though I know some things about "spatial" design, maybe you could
see this ;)).
For the prices .. I'll calculate 'm for 100 pcs and update the wiki.
normally from 100 pcs and up we'll have a discount. I got the prices from
their website (which is ugly and Dutch-only:
http://www.proshirt.be/Prijslijst.htm). I already had 3 shirts made there
in the last year and those ppl have always be great and it's the cheapest
solution in my surroundings (I did a research for this a year ago and
checked out several firms, things could have changed by now but I don't
think it will be much).
For the T-shirt design, the available colors (for the shirt) are: white,
ash, black, navy, natural, sand, chocolat, gold, orange, red, 3xblue, denim,
brick, burgundy, 2xgreen, grey, abricot, mistygreen
If you don't know what these are, the most of 'm are on wikipedia, though I
don't know what 3xblue and 2xgreen are ...
So I'll update the wiki, stay stuned!
Karel.
PS: the design should be sort of finished in a week for the best as, if they
wouldn't have our choice of shirt in stock anymore enough it would take some
weeks.
