Team 1646 mentors and students came up with great ideas. Ryan Dognaux and I went around and asked what shirts FIRST kids would like and were able to come up with those designs. Happy to see you'll be checking the store more!

Side note: Girls, cute designs will be up soon, and may feature the cute orbit ball you can see in my signature. And guys, definitely more designs for you as well

What does the small print on the Denim T-shirt say?

I cannot read it on the website.

Not to burst your bubble, but those designs are, for the most part, just text [granted the Kamen/Flowers one had a little more].

I would suggest to make this more successful to spend some time with graphics. Do what most fraternities and sororities do and modify them[You're a Tridelt so I am assuming you know you know what I'm talking about]. (Example and Example)

And sure being original and creative is good, like your orbit ball picture on a shirt, but if you're going to do something plain, I would think about the above. And I'm not saying take the logos for face value, but make them your own. Rebrand TEAM logos. Instead of BMW logo use a FIRST Team's logo and play on that.

I know that the designs are just text, but think of the shirts being sold today with one liners and catch phrases. Just as Elgin mentioned, "Team Edward" shirts are practically a staple now on teenage girls, and that shirt is as simple as a black shirt with white text. And quite honestly, anyone who knows me to be the one time prospective fashion major or have seen the previous shirts I have designed, I'm all for graphics. But when it comes to budget, simplicity, and versatility to a wide range of consumers, one phrase comes to mind, K.I.S.S.

I'd urge any of you who are thinking of purchasing a shirt to please do so and to help spread the word! Not only will you get a really cool and high quality shirt (all shirts are being screen printed), you'll also be helping fund entrepreneurs in Africa create a better life for themselves and their communities through Kiva.

Here's how it works -

• Orders are placed through our online store with Write2College

• Credit cards are Processed through PayPal

• T-shirts are made at Freckles - here in Lafayette, Indiana!

• Our team packages and ships them to you

• 100% of our profit's are loaned to individuals on Kiva

• These individuals use the money to start new businesses in Africa

• Once these businesses succeed, they return the money to us so we can fund more entrepreneurs in a continual cycle of success.

Microfinancing is proving to be a very effective way of reducing poverty and your purchase of a (PG)^RED shirt will go a long way.

So now you've just got to ask yourself one question.

Team Kamen or Team Flowers?

Just an update, we moved our store to

http://pg1646.spreadshirt.com/

and LOTS of new designs, I have personally put up seven more shirts this week. For all you Mark Leon fans, I have two designs that will definitely be appealing to you. Additionally it's been my project to start adding Women's shirts with a customized placement as well as brighter (and cuter ) colors.

Please continue to support Precision Guessworks Project Red, we have a long way to go to reach our goal donation to those in need through the Kiva program.

Check back every other week for new shirt designs!
Hope to see you all this season, and best of luck!

I personally am not a fan of either of your examples and would rather have one of the 4 simple, clean designs that Nica posted. Call me new fashion, but I like my shirts to have simple, classy designs, not cheesy imitations of popular logos or designs with too much noise (Example).

Not an attack on you, just arguing in favor of Nica's designs.

Edit: Woot, just purchased a shirt. Thanks guys! I can't wait till it arrives.

Seeing that we have been selling quite a few of these shirts lately, I wanted to be able to take pictures of FIRSTers wearing the shirts in Atlanta! It doesn't matter which shirt you bought, I'd like to take a picture with and of you!

Who else would be better models of the shirts than other people in the FIRST community! It will probably be taking place right after the webhug at the exact same location, be sure to meet in front of the huge FIRST banner!

Seeing that I only know how much we've sold but not who purchased them, feel free to post which shirt you will be modeling for me

If you have any questions, let me know, and of course there have been many new designs posted including the newly added:





Enjoy! If you have any more questions about the shirts, sizing, designs, or the picture taking, let me know! Hope to meet you all in Atlanta!
