I plan on ordering T-Shirts as well as patches over the next I'd say month (patches probably in the next week). I'm looking for some wicked cool graphics for the shirts, so if anyone has any ideas for shirts please let me know.

Right now my plan in to have a few black shirts and a few white shirts made up before the August 26th fight at Treasure Island where I'll be sitting front row. The camera man pans the front rows a lot between rounds so there is a good chance they'll get the shirt on there with the website info.

Those are a lot better than what I was looking at making! lol Let me know what you come up with. The next fight I'll be at in August 26th at Treasure Island front row.
Nikki (my wife) wants to know if you can design some girl shirts as well.

The problem is the shirt thing is it is such a money sucker if your not doing large quantities and to do different colors and designs in different sizes is pretty tough. Last time I printed 6 shirts it cost me $130 for 1 design because set up fees, shirts and printing for such a low amount. That was also direct to garment printing silk screen is more depending on how many colors. My Aggression shirts would run about $8 each but I would print about 120 shirts at a time and I'm not sure I ever made my money back and that printer went belly up. Our best bet would be to find someone who has a heat press and order heat transfers with the 1 color logo and buy a nice fitting shirt and heat press it on. This is just my experience.

I'll look into the heat transfers today after my one class.

I wasn't planning on making a lot and selling them (at least not now). I was looking at it from more of an advertisement standpoint. by hitting the local fights with the shirt on, its bound to attract some people I'd think as long as they see it.

There is also a few fighters at my school that I am trying to get on the site.

cool, the best place to find out what place has the best transfers is http://www.t-shirtforums.com/plastisol-transfers/ plastisol is the vinyl stuff and like the sparkly stuff you see on shirts.
