    The lanyard idea worked out pretty well and I think everyone was pretty happy with the look and quality. It got me thinking that maybe you guys would be interested in using the same design on t-shirts. I've seen some Tacoma shirts out there, but the style has always been kind of boring and dull.

    I've sourced out a local screen printer in San Francisco and I plan to use American Apparel jersey tees. If anyone knows about printing t-shirts, American Apparel is all made in the USA and they are one of the top and more expensive brands out there to use for doing custom t-shirts. The local screen printer does very high quality printing. This is not the water based ink screen printing, but the kind that has a textured feel to it. I have one of their shirts that's about 3yrs old and the screen printing still looks damn good. I'm going for all high quality stuff here to ensure that you get your money's worth.

    Price wise, I'm thinking about selling them for $27 shipped. I could get the price down, but then I'm compromising the shirt quality and the screen printing quality and I won't do that. I have to go with a proven setup that I know you guys will appreciate.

    Give me some feedback on these designs and depending on the feedback I get, we'll proceed from there. Just like the lanyards, if there's enough interest, we'll do a voting poll to decide on the design.

    Top right and left I like. Definatley ask bob about advertising TW. I think it'd be good to be able to advertise other than the sticker on my truck. :D

    I've already asked Bob before about doing a TW lanyard and unfortunately my idea was rejected, but the Tacoma lanyards turned out quite well. I actually think it looks better, design wise, with keeping it Tacoma or Tacoma TRD.

    Hmmm, I'm not getting much interest in these as I expected. We definitely need more than a few guys to get this thing going.

    Photobucket is funny sometimes. Maybe that's why there's not much response, lol. I added an attachment and a direct link, let me know if it works for you.

    I love the Top middle! I like how it screams Tacoma but on the bottom of the shirt you have the subtle TRD!

    But i love the Top left also.

    What about the strips to the left of Tacoma be the back drop then what you have.. I don't know.. Seems like a neat idea but you're the pro! looks great! You know i'm down!
