right now, im tryin to think of a layout that implies the 'team flh forum' thing that psyral et al always be on.  

as as example:  FAYGOLUVERS.NET over a big number 15 on the back, looking a little like a jersey.  

 

also tryin to think of visually interesting ways to incorporate the necessary text into design, for the front.  something dada-esque, maybe.   

i dunno.  

I like that idea actually.

if the forum had a mascot, i could make a 'team logo' in the blink of an eye.  

Come on man its the Faygo man for sure...PRJ even has it tatted on his hand or neck or some shit and its on the back of every shirt no matter what design.

scruffy said
well, then, why ever have any artwork that isnt the faygoman...?  

answer:  cuz nobody wants to pay for that.  at least, nobody was into the idea last year.  

Im confused are you agreeing with me or talking smack on the Faygoman.

scruffy said
neither, really.  

just sayin that if all yall need is a faygoman on a t-shirt, this thread would be much shorter.  

well thats oversimplifing my position entirely then.  Im not saying thats all we need, just one necessary part.  I really like the idea of a "team" esque shirt with 15 on the back and faygoluvers.net on the back.  On the front we could have a Faygoman with the words meetup and massacre above and below respectively.  That is significantly more then just a faygoman.  Then to additionally individualize it by changing the color and number each year so no shirt looks the same.  

Edit: Actually the reason I brought up the Faygoman in the first place was because you said if we had a mascot youd make a rendition of it.  We do have a mascot, we don't need to use the rendition of it that exists...we could make a whole new take on it.

I think the only complaints I had on your design were using the GOTJ font/logo, and the extra color. The blue doesn't seem to fit.

Awright... I got a silly idea. Scavenger hunt shirts. Use Psyral's design above, minus the "Gathering of the Juggalos" graphic, with "Meetup Massacre 2015" below the Faygoman. Here's where it gets fun.

Each shirt includes a silver Sharpie. On the back, have 10-20 specific "people" you have to find, with a line next to each for that person to sign/write something. With it on your back, you don't know what they're gonna write, so you may wanna be selective where possible. Examples for people to find:

• A FLH member you hadn't met before.
• Someone dressed like Batman.
• A performer from the Carousel Stage.
• A cross-dresser.
• Someone in a mosh pit, while the pit is active.
• A combatant from the Ninja Olympics.
• A spinner of Frog's wheel.
• Someone from another country.
• Someone at their first Gathering.

I could likely come up with more, if this idea takes off. Obviously, the designer of the shirt would select whichever ones s/he wants to use, and keep it under wraps so it's a surprise to everyone.

On the surface, I'd agree with you about writing on it, as I'd feel the same about any of my collectibles as well... However, this is a case where the writing is part of the memory, and, as such, part of the collectible as well.

On the other hand, I did say it was a silly idea.
