    Since opinions are like a holes around here
    OK here is a new shirt should I leave it as is nice and simple

    [​IMG]

    Or I was contemplating putting under the roadster
    "Save our vintage hot rods"
    "Don't build rat rods"

    I'm just worried if I put term rat rods on there it may perpetuate the term even more. Wait do rat rodders know what perpetuate means.

    So what you guys think

    my $.02
    what you have sends a positive message.
    the extra stuff is negative,and therefore not as good.

    The design is great as is with the wording. The font is awful though.

    Why bring more attention to the term rat rod? I like as is. But if I was going to change anything it be to make the T in traditional look more like Fords F.
     
  7. my two cents makes it an even $.04. and 1 more vote for leave it alone.
     
  8. I want one.

    Nix the "al"

    TraditioN
    is all it needs.

    I don't know **** about fonts but I know what I like and I'd like the "T" to be the same style as the "F" on a Fender guitar...
    That probably changes all of it though doesn't it?

    Agree on not adding the negative extras.
    Kool looking car!

    I agree with DrJ - "Tradition" would make it perfect, needs nothing else.

    i'm with Dr. J, use the word 'tradition.' and investigate a more 'traditional' font. like a nice ol' sign painter's font or something...

    Either "Traditional" or "Tradition"(though I prefer the latter) will work fine. The font is a toss-up for me.

    Simple message, simple artwork, big improvement over most event and logo shirt designs.

    Just put "Tradition", but use a different font. Don't ad any exta phrases or anything, that would ruin it.

    I think its fine the way it is. By adding another line about ratrods its like you're trying to define it. If you get traditional - you get it. No need to define it. I a different font might be better too.

    Traditional lettering didn't come with triple outlines, that came with computers. Artwork looks great, like the Tradition suggestion.
    Maybe: "Think flat, low, and metal."

    Traditional? Tradition?
    Was there a sport coupe with a '34 grille mounted behind a suicide spring on the radius rods?
    It has traditional parts but not a traditional setup.
    (a-hole opinion)
    TP
    Ok maybe its a 30 roadster with a duvall...
