I think skip the daggers and the TV thingy. I like the first two best. Can you put one up as 50% gray on white? Can you make the head of the fish more closely resemble a snook? See: http://www.helterskeletons.com/snook.htm Mostly concerned about the mouth opening.
Don't worry about it now, but later we may want to modify the fonts so that in ink blotches are unique to each letter.
LG - Like the background on # 25 best. Let's loose the extra "getchu some of that" text elements. I like the extra Flats Class text however. More of them, bigger and less obvious would be cool I think.
#27 I'd love to see you add a color, then just hang on with this design. Don't spend any more time on it. I need to show these to some other people pretty soon. If you want to try something totally new, please do. Don't worry about being in the number three spot right now. Anything could happen once the other opinions get involved.
ok ... but please ... if you can, tell me something about the t-shirt. how many colors you have for the t-shirts ? could help me and you to see it on a colored background.
If we can get a cool design with one color, great. Saves money in printing. If we can get a really, really cool design and it's full color, that's fine too. Really it's anything goes. Any color(s) on any color shirt if it looks good.
