    Grimm -- How do you want to work this? If you give me the photoshop files I can try cutting out the design and mucking around with the color scheme of the site a bit... If you want to give me a color scheme to work with I'm cool with that too.

    Also, I don't really have the energy to work on getting t-shirts made right now so that will probably have to wait a few weeks unless someone wants to run with it.

    I work in Adobe Illustrator primarily for stuff like this. So I will create an EPS with all the options. I can also make a PDF and PSD file for you to use as well. I may have time tonight, if not then hopefully tomorrow to get those documents finalized and put together.

    For the site, I can look at comping something up for colors, if nothing else I think it would be enough to start a dialog.

    I can do the printing of the shirts, that is no problem. But the ordering the shirts ($$) and then selling/fulfilling needs to be a project in itself. Maybe someone would want to help take that on.

    A PSD file would work well. If you don't have time to do a mock up for the site it's cool, I can probably make something work.

    ^-- $5.9 if you buy single tees and 3.9 if you can buy by the dozen. Plus shipping. I love AA. I think my #3 shirt would be nice on their organic cotton shirt (which of course is about $1 more since its organic). But its hard to convince people sometimes when you can get a child labor hanes for about $2.

    I *used* to have an AA account. But they didnt like that I dont have a business license (you dont need one in this county if you dont pull in 10k+ with you 'business').

    One thing I dont want to do is get into doing a bunch of different colors, and styles. It makes printing kind of a pain, and if you mess up you have no extras to fall back on. So we pick a manufacturer, maybe a girls and guys cut and a color and we run that.

    I would toss some flif (thanks, Zac) at an AA tee... in either baby blue, kelly green, or (if we went the organic route) galaxy.

    come to think of it...it WOULD be kind of fun if we did them all by hand.
    someone just photo emulsion the design.
    make it all home made-y
    and it'll be all unique and friendly
    another team building excercise! bringin people together to hang out and have fun, get some ink on their hands

    Sorry for not being more on the ball about this, both Alex and I have been busy. And we have messaged back and forth about updating the site a little. Plus every time I have time to work on something its usually very nice out and I think 'isnt a site like this supposed to help encourage people to get out and ride, f*ck it, im gonna go ride my bike rather than sit in front of the screen'.

    I will get on it soon.

    I can make a mechanical for the shirt design if someone ones to head up getting shirts (paying for them and then collection money) and printing the design.
