You're somewhat mistaken. Only the cool blue women's is back-ordered. Diana's light-color (Light Gray) does not EXIST in women's. The both-sex light colors are white and *maybe* heather-gray if that works enough, but we need to print and see if it turns out light enough. Diana said she thought that Cool Blue was GOOD and we should use it because it's nice *and* matches the site. The whole summary is: there are TWO good dark shirts Diana suggested; but the light shirt situation is tough (reasons… …), and yet that's the more conservative basic design :P So, Robert made his mockup with that situation, and we asked about whether Warm Gray should be added to the mockup, but nobody replied on that. I don't like the "more choices" per se, and that's why it was asked about on the list, and I asked Diana also, but she didn't object or directly address that (but did tell me that *she* would like Warm Gray). > There were a few emails in this thread that were, unfortunately, too > long and unfocused for me to have time to read.

This is a test run sort of, and we can re-order later. I'd like a decision from Diana about whether we should emphasize / mockup the Warm Gray. > On Sun, Dec 20, 2015 at 11:18:21AM +0000, William Hale (Salt) wrote: >> Would someone start a new thread with mock-ups of the final options? >> >> Thanks! >> >> On Fri, 18 Dec 2015 11:20:33 -0800 >> Diana Connolly <[email protected]> wrote: >> >>> Quite simply, all we need now is the final graphics in a form I can >>> hand off to Bluemill, and a choice of sizes and colors for at least >>> 24 shirts.
