Hey riders, here is a design I'm working on for the back of a shirt. Black because you don't want to end up using it for a rag!
Suggestions are welcome. :-)

I love your concept (clever) but I don't like black shirts-- too hot around here! White makes me feel like I'm not sweating as much even if I am! I would like it in an alternate color-- white, gray, blue, red, etc.

First time seeing both sides. I like it even more. Here's a sugesstion: off er a few colors some light and some dark. Like Black or Orange, Yellow, whatever. The lettering of reflective material. I think it will go over Real Big.

why does every not like black?

I like it because if you get something on it, no one sees it usually.

Hey guys, thanks for all your posts! Let me try to answer everyone's questions all at the same time.

First off, this would be just the back of the shirt. The font would have a little biker icon with my web address just below it either smack dab in the center or the upper left corner. I don't want the front to be the statement, but rather keep people guessing to what is on the back.

Having relfective ink would kick a**! I was thinking like a burnt yellow or something for either the element icon above or for the lettering. I will have to print one or two version of it to start off (most popular colors) to see how it flys, although there was a poll taken a while back on t-shirt colors and everyone likes dark colors (black, navy blue, grey) over the lights. Makes sense.

Maybe offer the black shirt with a burnt yellow text (shown below) and a white shirt (for those in hot regions) with black lettering. Having relfective lettering may up the cost in the shirt though. Would like to keep the shirt at no more than$20.

Here is the design with an added color treatment like 'roadwarrior' suggested. Nice call!

I don't wear black at night, however if I went on a night ride with this shirt, the reflective ink may be of benefit. :-)

Didn't I tell you the reflective lettering would take off! The colors are the smallest issues. Take a poll regarding Black W/Reflective lettering ---- Yellow W/White or Lite Gray --- Or Whatever color combos you desire. This will give you a good gauge of what will sell most! Jeannie

Jeannie-

I posted a new poll for color options. I forgot to set the poll so that you can select more than one option, so just select the color you like best. :-)
