Matt 1,049 Report post Posted April 16, 2011 As I mentioned in the other thread discussing Octogate 2011: I'm working on some new designs for the LGW Shop that are more octopus-focused. I've had one design, the "Don't Tread on Me" Octopus t-shirt around for a few months now, but with recent events I've put together a few designs tonight that I'd like feedback on: Of note: Al Sobotka's photos are VERY hard to get the Che Guevara, but it is what it is . the "vidare till seger" is the Swedish translation of "hasta la victoria siempre" ("onward to victory" -- all via Google Translate). If some of our Swedish members has a more effective translation I'm all about fixing it. As it stands these are all up for review and should (hopefully) be available to purchase within the next day or two (kind of iffy being the weekend and all). If any of you have any ideas or suggestions -- or requsts for what item of clothing you'd like to purchase it on if it was available -- I'm all ears! 5 8 Legged RedWing, Tman77, Greatness=PavelDatsyuk and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miss Wing Queen 154 Report post Posted April 16, 2011 Very creative, Matt! They're all great, but I like the "viva la octolution" design best. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest CaliWingsNut Report post Posted April 16, 2011 As I posted in the other thread... The product pictures appear as though the shirts have a very tight cut neck, and I like breathing room. Does anyone already have one of these (type of) shirts who could speak about this with first hand knowledge? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does anyone already have one of these (type of) shirts who could speak about this with first hand knowledge? The graphics can come on a wide, wide variety of clothing items -- but they're usually sold as regular mens (or women's) heavyweight t-shirts in a standard crew neck. I bought one of the "Feed the Mule" shirts for myself when I first designed them three years ago and it fits just fine -- just like any regular t-shirt -- and the print still looks like the first day I got it. (There really is a ridiculous amount of different clothing items these things can be placed on -- so just ask and I'll see if its available. Unfortunately not all colors are available on all clothing items, so that limits it a bit.) LGW.com Shop Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does anyone already have one of these (type of) shirts who could speak about this with first hand knowledge? I am quite a big dude, and as such I am sensitive to sizing. My feed the mule shirt runs kinda small and the neck is a little tight, but just like any shirt you can stretch it out. As a point of reference, they are a good bit smaller than the Reebok player shirts, but they have pretty similar good construction.

Echolalia 2,961 Report post Posted April 16, 2011 (edited) I love the clenched fist + octopus design. It gives off a kind of blue-collar toolman's hands vibe, which I think is appropriate for Detroit. Edited April 16, 2011 by Echolalia Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As a point of reference, they are a good bit smaller than the Reebok player shirts, but they have pretty similar good construction. As a note: I can offer 'big & tall'-type sizes, too, like 3XL and 4XL as well, though I usually don't add them without a request. ANYONE can make requests -- sometimes there's just a look out there that you're looking for that isn't up on there. As the store goes I tend to not clutter up each category with every single clothing offering, but I will definitely add requests. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Third Man In 2,091 Report post Posted April 16, 2011 Instead of Viva la Octolution, to properly follow the Spanish I would propose "Viva la octolución". Exactly. Spanish -ción = English -tion. I too love the octopus-in-hand with the slogan. Great work, Matt. If I can find a picture of Al looking up and to the side like in the Che portrait, I'll send it along.
