Having produced countless t-shirts and several designs, I am not sure that the text-shadows are the best used. But I think in general the graphics and text are very good. Only thing I'd think over are the color choices because a lot of it seems dark or insufficient contrast. Anyway, that's just playing devil's advocate. I like the shirt, and I like the offset logo to the side!

That is a sweet shirt, to say in the least. I especially like the armidillo on the side of the shirt, any way you could get a pic to show what the armidillo actually looks like when it is seen?

not sure the FIRST logo follows their guidelines (change in color). However, this is a wicked design.

Didn't have a choice. Not willing to pay $8 - $10 more for the logo to be the correct colors :P.

Team 2502 had this problem too. However, we worked in collaboration with FIRST marketing department and made sure that they were happy and we were happy without adding any more ink colors. They'll give you files for silk screens using only one ink that they'd be happy with.

Did they actually make you use certain colors?

I really hope the rest of my team likes this design. Most of the people that have seen it have loved it. We shall see.

They adapted it to our red. However, technically, our red was only few percentages off CMYK (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CMYK_color_model) of their original logo recommendations. Some radical color change might be little tougher to get. But the most important thing they want is the shades of the different parts of the logo. I say give it a shot.
