It was in the store. Art Monkey figured people didn't want 1.15" high images on their shirts when everything else in the store was 6-7" high.  We'll recreate it at some point.

Sorry, I thought I remade a bigger image in there. At least on the back.
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

I like the Hunter image, but the font needs work.
Will there be a Marine one?

The naval one is great. Would it be possible to add a small GH logo somewhere on those images? If I'm wearing something that cool, it'd be nice to have a little GH love as part of it.

First Air Force entry, and a rework of the "hunter" image...

Comments and thoughts?

Right now, "recon" and "armor" are the only 2 loaded into the store.

Based on comments today, I'll load others tomorrow.

Right now, the plan will be

Recon
Armor
Paras
Power... Projected
Interceptor

If I can get the "hunter" one to where I'm happy with it, it'll go next.

I suspect these will become a new section of the store beyond just shirts, so that we can use this image on other things, like notebooks or mugs, if people want.

Is that the Euro strike fighter? Doesn't look like USAF issue.

Don't have any good ancients images - that's why I was asking for what people had

Here's the naval one.  Not sure how many more I'll do with this motif.  Maybe 2-3 more.  Starting to wear a little thin on me.


Loving it.  Nice job, chief. 

I second mirth, by the way:  Would love to see a GH logo somewhere on there if possible.

Yes. Best image I had to work with.

Let me see what I can do. I'll be rebuilding that whole section soon in the GH store.

here's one more for now




the plan is to redo the military images section of the store to provide (a) consistent product options for all images, and (b) to get the GH info on the images.

Look for that to happen after the weekend, and to get the other images loaded.

What do y'all think of the redone "Jäger" image / typography?

I like it. But if you slap the word "zombie" on almost anything you'll turn my head.

The zombie one is cool but what is the blue stuff behind him suppose to be?


As far as the Jäger image, IMHO I like the image but the lettering still looks to "clean" compared to the image.

didn't want to re-use the camo motif - it was getting old

Brant, if you're still thinking of an Ancients design, how about this.
A hoplite's head (that is peering out of a Corinthian helmet, probably to the side for visual balance) and under it the inscription from the Thermopylae monument.

    "Traveller, if you pass by our homeland,
   Do tell the Spartans that faithful to our word,
                       Here we lie.
                 Loyal,Even unto death."

You could put Thermopylae and the date on the back, put both on the back, or Thermopylae in front under the helmet and the inscription on the back.
"Most gods throw dice, but Fate plays chess, and you don't find out until too late that he's been playing with two queens all along".  Terry Pratchett.

During filming of Airplane, Leslie Nielsen used a whoopee cushion to keep the cast off-balance. Hays said that Nielsen "played that thing like a maestro"

Tallulah Bankhead: "I'll come and make love to you at five o'clock. If I'm late, start without me."
