I know it's been a while since I promised these, but the design is finally here and ready to rock! Check it out:

This was designed exclusively for Lex by Chicago street artist, Blütt. I contacted him shortly after the 2008 NACCC's about a collaboration for us because I really liked his artwork that he did on the boards during the tournament.

So now, since I'm going to be the one printing these, I'd like yall's input as to what color shirts we should do up for these. For the sake of the image, I'd like to keep it as a lighter shirt with a dark ink, and not vice versa.

Throw out some color combos that you'd want to wear. I'll do some mock-ups and once we decide, I'll print one up for whoever wants one. I commissioned these myself, so whatever the cost of the shirts will first go to recoup that, and then anything beyond that will go towards the general polo fund for Coolavin.

I just got a Wildcat Wheels shirt and I really like it. Couldn't these be that same gray and print black on them?

I'm up for doing something really colorful, I just need to know what colors you guys and gals would want to wear. Maybe I'll go ahead and just work up some color combos and see what people think from there.

I'd rock a purple and yellow shirt. Hell make it lavender and it will match my bmx bike that my mom just brought me from home!
http://bmxmuseum.com/bikes/schwinn/17126/1 Yup, I was that cool. I am sure my dad went to the factory and bragged to all his friends about how kick ass his boy son was!

what do you guys think of these colors?

L-R: Gold, Sky Blue, Tangerine, Red, Kiwi Green

L-R: Stone Blue, Sand, Sapphire Blue, Indigo Heather, Orange

I've been getting kind of bored with American Apparel's colors lately, so I've been looking at some Gildan sweatshop-free 100% cotton shirts... they seem to have more color choices.

I like the sand but could you do a maroon or green ink?

Lavender or Ash Gray, anyone?
