Good afternoon everyone,

It's been a while since I've had DWF T-Shirts printed up and hoping for some input on design ideas.  If you have any thoughts please share them here.

Before we did Safety Orange and Navy in the following design:

IMHO , I like the front DWF badge. I would like to see something Super Mag oriented on the back.

Like the orange, and maybe a lighter color, like grey, white or desert tan.

Thanks for asking !!

Pete, thanks for the suggestions!  I will make note of them.

Stinger, the original t-shirts are no longer available as most were sold on a pre-order basis.

Thanks Jody, I thought as much, but it never hurts to ask. 

I will second Pete's SuperMag nomination.  Have the firearm image of the left side, muzzle pointed to the left (so it could be any SM caliber) with a VH8S barrel showing the SM roll-mark.  "SuperMag" text in large font where ARSENAL was on the previous shirts.

I don't like to wear tight clothes. I have some DW shirts but rarely wear them because of the neckline.  If we had vee neck shirts I would order dozens. Well, maybe half a dozen. A breast pocket would be REALLY great.

I'd really like to see something that brings in 1911's in.

Maybe a 15-2 4VH and a Pointman facing muzzle to muzzle, pointed up about 30 degrees

Text below:

             DAN

           WESSON

         THE BEST OF

       BOTH  WORLDS

https://www.danwessonforum.com     (in smaller text centered below, kind of framing a triangle.)

Obviously the line spacing and font need to be managed better than above

 

Unlikely that even one out of a thousand shooters will ever know what a SuperMag is. Most shooters can recognize a 4" .357 Magnum and a 1911, and they are similar enough in size to allow a good sized graphic with good balance.

DW was built on the 15-2, and continues as a strong 1911 brand

And of course, the DWF logo front upper left chest

The Dan Wesson brand was built on the 15-2/715, and continues today as a premier 1911 brand, these two guns are the real Dan Wesson heritage.

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

As per Pete's request, if you need a SM example to emblazoned on a T-shirt, I submit my model 40 (self made) Pac.big-grin LOL

On a more serious note, what about a "founding models" theme? It's 4 more years until we reach the 50th anniversary of DW's, but at that time, what if we did a half centennial edition using something like this (a rough draft)?laugh

Exactly .. what a great conversation starter !

Shirts with a .357 Magnum or a 1911 are a dime a dozen and wouldn't even draw a second glance.
