looks pretty good i might down size the picture and make the name or number a bit bigger just a thought i would rather have people seeing the name and number then a graphic your company might start stickin out more

kinda cheap looking to me...not be rude just honest

I really can't say I'm a fan of them either. Have you checked into having some made locally? We used a local shop, gave them a floppy of our logo, they digitized it and keep it on file for as long as we need them to. We have had t-shirts, sweatshirts, embroidered longsleeve turtlenecks, and ball caps done. There are some items I am completely comfortable using the internet for to purchase, shirts just aint one of them. :)

[jmurphy]

Yeah i also think they look cheap. I am having them printed at a local place, this is just an idea

here's one I whipped up on there. I am changing my company name to this in january. http://customink.com/cink/r.jsp?E=bzakian%40yahoo.com&F=tcll3

I would love feedback.

Jmurphy,
The logo. It's the logo that is fouling up the shirt. You need a different one in my opinion.
Also, when choosing a color for a shirt, think of these things.
Bright colors will fade quickly in the sun, and they will look old and worn before their time. Dark colors are hot, and will make working in extreme heat difficult. I suggest gray, tan or a light khaki color.
Just my thoughts.

http://customink.com/cink/r.jsp?E=royallands%40yahoo.com&F=myshirt Hows this. I got my idea from Tclawn's shirt. I cant change my logo because its already on my business cards and my invoices. i think this looks much better.:) :) :) :) P.S. Thanks Tclawn

[TClawn]

you know, I have found green and grey to be the coolest colors to work in. the hottest are black, and red.

looks good jmurphy. I like the color a lot better.

[jmurphy]

Thanks. Anybody else?:cool:

Not a big fan. Doesn't scream 'professional' to me. Just an opinion. What is the point of the hand with a weed in it?

The color we use is yellow.
Use 6oz cotton heavy weight t-shirts and they are cool and comfortable.
The durability of the color is much better than the white t-shirts we have used.
Regarding graphics, I wouldn't suggest that for a t-shirt.
Enlarge the contact info, and if you have other uniform apparel, make sure the info matches on all of it.

IMO I think tee shirts look very unprofessional. Look for a button work shirt and just have your company name on the left front, most of your larger company's have these shirts and also the pants to go with it..

[daveintoledo]

i think it depends on what your doing, alot of commercial work, residential....

i have printed t shirts also, its hot enough as it is, i aint wearin a hot polo or golf shirt....wouldnt expect employees to either

im wearing a nice cool t shirt with nice shorts

make the number bigger and loose the wave form of the text on the top line, and do the oposite with it, instead of it getting skinny in the middle,
make it FAT the whole way across for readibility...

I plan on getting shirts made for next year. I will probably have white polo shirts with the company name embroidered on it for myself and for any foreman. I may go with polos with khaki shorts for employees, but havent decided. I just think the polos on all crew members will give off a professional touch while on commercial properties.

[TClawn]

I would not wear a polo shirt. those things are hot. I'm sticking with 100% cotton tees. maybe if I go on an estimate, but not for working. it is just going to be dirty after a week anyway. it will look even funier then.

[jmurphy]

Yeah i dont want a polo cuz i have to wear one all day in school(private school)

[YardPro]

i don't like the large print on the front.
i thing the one the other guy did with the print smaller in the front and up where the shirt pocket would go looks much better.

[TClawn]

here's one to look at john, http://customink.com/cink/r.jsp?E=bzakian%40yahoo.com&F=sweat

i like the way u dident with the smaller logo on the front you dont need the # cuz its 2 small to read. the back looked good the # big and eaisy to read. i dont think the crew guys should wear polos but for men and estimaters/the people people should look nice. If u the owner dosent go out and work you should wear a polo or a nice shirt for the image.

Gents, this is what my guys wear. It's a military squadron/unit design, very bold, and easy to read. We wear it on hunter green t's, long sleeves and hoodies. We have a small logo on the left breast and the large logo on the back. The gold on green shows up great and is in keeping with alot of Marine Corps units. Semper Fi.
