blike Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 The idea of selling some science-related shirts has been floating around here off and on for a long time now. I'd like to do this, but I don't have the creativity that some of you have. What do you think would make good shirts? Personally, I like shirts that are clearly geeky, but in a retro-illustration style. Here's what I mean by "retro-illustration sytle." I also like a bit of wit or sarcasm, or play on words, or anything really. I saw a shirt yesterday that said, "What's so hard about rocket science?". It had some cheesy 70s illustration that was quite humorous. Anyhow, I know many of you are very creative . I don't know how many of you are good with images, but that would help too. So, if anyone has ideas, post them here puhlease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll bet T-shirt sellers are going crazy in your neck of the woods (when they find a dry patch to set up a stand)! "So many hurricanes, so little Florida!"

Pangloss Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 Hehe. It's funny how much email I've been getting with jokes and gags about the hurricane. The funniest was a modified path projection that had been skewed to look like someone was giving Florida the finger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phi for All Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 Hope you're OK down there and glad to see you haven't lost your sense of humidity. OK, just two more: "Got shelter?" "Florida: No one left to vote!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
