You betcha! I'd rock one.

Size XL please. How about long sleeve too @Joe Link?

 

[SA Shooter]

oooh....nice idea...long sleeves would be awesome!

 

[Joe Link]

Thanks for the replies guys

Eventually we'd like to get long sleeves, hoodies, different colors, more hats, etc. but for now we're just starting with a t-shirt. This exact photo could be our final version, so we're trying to see what people think of it

I like the simplicity of the design but it looks like a gun store logo shirt.

Might be cool if there was a one line statement about what NWFA is. Dunno what, maybe "A forum driven firearms community".?


Honestly, I'm not really a logo shirt person at heart but I'd wear one of it I won it or something of the like. Well, I'd probably wear it to the range in place of camo if it had long sleeves.

Anything on the back? @Joe Link

This is the biggest reason I'm asking about this particular design. We had a design with our slogan "Supporting gun owners of the Pacific Northwest", but with the URL it just looked too cluttered. I think people are more likely to wear it more often if it looks more like a awesome brand and less like a walking advertisement for grandpa's hunting club

I bet @pyromancer will have some opinions, he's the one who volunteered to clean up our logo a couple years back.

Nope, the back is blank (for both cost and simplicity).

Nice. Make mine a XXL and I'll give ya $20.

I vote for long sleeved.
Remove the URL by adding it in.

Unfortunately the first run will only be S/M/L/XL due to cost, but the second should include 2XL and 3XL. I might not be able to wear one myself!

Thanks for the feedback.

I appreciate the suggestion regarding the URL, but our logo is standardized across the NWFA brand.

 

[Joe13]

I'm a XXL'er myself as well.

If you don't have a printer already lined up, my daughters highschool cross country coach owns a printing press company as well and I could get his info if you want it - not sure if it would get us a discount or not though.

If your only going up to XL, a poll for people's shirt sizes might be worth while. Having a few hundred tShirts that are too small for 80% of the potential buyers will be hard to offload.

 

[2A2Dend]

Copy that

XXL is actually our best selling size

We do have a printer lined up, but I appreciate the suggestion. Once we finalize the design the sizing poll will come next

Looks good!! As long as it is black or dark blue. I have a whole closetful of white shirts I rarely wear. Size L.

 

[shootnscoot]

My snap judgement says it looks like a logo for a gun shop. Would you check out a random gun shop URL you saw on a t-shirt ? I doubt I would myself. I think the earlier suggestion by Joe13 letting people know its a community and not just a storefront is a good one.

I hadn't thought of that, but I agree. Perhaps add "The Northwest's premier firearms forum!!" or something along those lines??

I am going to side with @Joe13 too, I voted no for the moment based on wearing a shirt means I am saying I support something, or like something. If it said more of what it was for then I would be in as a buyer. I just wouldnt people thinking it was a FFL or something is the reason I voted no. That might change based on a final product.
