What do you think of these t shirts? Just simple cotton t's with a graphic and some info. Maybe too much info? too cluttered? give me some constructive criticism.

Looks fine, but dump the area code you don't need it here.

I think it looks good, but I'd change the font of your services and such so that it stands out. IMO you don't need "commercial & residential" but I'm sure that depends on your market. Looking good...

if you are only in one area, loose the area code, on the other hand keeping commercial and residential is good, i have had to many folks ask if i do residential, like said depends on your market. you might want to change it to say just, snow removal,
on a side note, here in oregon, if it says landscaping as a buis, we need to show the license number, don't know about that where you are, because it is an advertisement.

Looks decent. I would go with a local guy though. If your going to be in business in this area mind as well start a relationship with a print shop. It can come in handy. I would try to condense those three lines down to two. My shirts just say
Lawn Care-Landscaping-Snow Removal

Looks good!! The onlything is that cotton holds sweat make sure that it is a cotton blend with a little cotton. Good luck!!

I would dump all the small lettering in the logo.
As soon as you abuse them working, the smaller letters will fall apart after about 10 washes. Even if you have a top notch printer doing the shirts, they still start to crack and peel a little.
Take your tree off the back and move it to the pocket area of the front of the shirt. The back of the shirt seems to busy to me. Too much info visually to take in a quick moment.
Keep it simple, Company name, number, and maybe "Landscaping" or similar.

Like White Gardens said, it looks too busy. I would take off all of the services you have listed and maybe even "commercial/residential". The shirt is just a way to advertise and look professional, don't make it too busy that the potential customer can't get the important info needed off the shirt quickly.

Go to Vistaprint.com its cheaper.. i got 250 business cards and 5 tshirts plus shipping for $80 and the shirts are just as good.. nice and comfy wearing it right now actually
I cant believe several guys like that shirt.There is way to much junk on there.You would have to be no more than 2 feet away to read it.Look at my shirt,you can read it from a mile away.
well, i cant post the pic because i already posted this pic on another thread on this site. here it is ----> http://www.lawnsite.com/showthread.php?t=287443

i was on the same site and made a shirt same color and u had to get like 10 or 15 in that color and each shirt was like 24 25 bucks and then shiping

+1. . . Make sure you get a blend - 50/50 is even better - won't stretch or fade or shrink as easily.
The shirt does look a bit busy for my taste - my shirts and hoodies only have the company name though, so that may be a bit too simple for some.

I would personally get rid of some of the small lettering, maybe just keep the "landscaping and lawn maintenance". just my thoughts...

I can't remember where on the site it is but there's a selection if you just want a couple not 10.

Just put your logo, company name, and phone number. Thats all you need for shirts. People are not going to stare at your shirt to see what you do, if they are truly interested they will come up and talk to you. Just keep it simple and professional looking and your set.

best piece of advice i got for shirts came from a salesman i had that had worked for valleycrest. make the logo bigger, take the number off.
his point, after much thought mad sense, you want people to come up to you personally and compliment your work and strike up conversation about more work but if they don't like it or you screw something up that don't have a number to call the office!
