OT whats up with t-shirts

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by Shiftymutt, Jun 29, 2005.

  1. This is sort of way off topic but what the hell is up with t-shirts with all the art work on the front? Why can't I find any cool shirts that have the art on the back and a little piece on the front. I can't wear shirts at work that show an image on the front so I get burned on getting cool Kulture shirts cause they almost all have printing on the front.

    Come on guys start throwing your art on the back and maybe a little logo on the front.

  4. Let me get this straight. You can wear shirts w/ a bunch of stuff on the back, but not on the front? Wow.

    I got a cheaters t-**** - no artowrk on front (totaly black,) kick *** artwork on back . . . Who did I get it from? hmmmmmm. I'll see if I can dig up the info. Cheaterpete??? not sure. I think it was from doing a search in the cl***ifieds.

  9. Yeah I bought one of the Cheaters Support shirts...I am just making a general statement to all the t-shirt guys...I wore the coffee Grinder shirt to work the other day and got the ol red face look from my boss...Don't get me wrong I dig the artwork but being on the front doesn't work for me....This is just my opinion

    I hope nobody is taking this as an insult...it is not meant that way...

     
  10. Just put 'em on backwards. Nobody'll know the difference -- unless they got a pocket!

    Most of the time it's money. People don't want to pay set up and printing charges for two locations. So they just go with a front print.

    I've seen shirts come through the shop with just a back print and in my opinion, it looks plain silly.

    I work with a printing company here in Philly.

    They print all the cool punk shirts with the art on the front.

    They print all the ugly old fart shirts with the art on the back. :D

    I get this alot with my shirts, no one can ever really tell me why they want
    the design on the back, I like them on the front, so I make what I like. Pretty selfish, huh? Is it like a naughty secret to have a hot rod T-shirt on under your work shirt?

    Man, seems I can never find too many with junk on the front.. I wear a workshirt a lot over my t's so I like to have the designs front and center. So Cal has a lot of nice one's front and center, but I don't want to wear too much from just one place damnit! :D

    Rodderboy.com has some good ones with stuff on the back, and a small logo on front left for ya: http://www.rodderboy.com/store/index.php?cPath=1

    This may seem like a dumb question but if the artwork is on the back and you have a work shirt over it......wouldn't that be the same as not having art on your shirt?

    That's exactly what I was thinking too Roothawg. Maybe it's just the fact that he knows he's not wearing a plain t that makes the diff. Maybe just the knowing there's a kick*** design or logo there on his back makes him feel all warm and fuzzy inside. ;)

    Ive always liked a black shirt with the back design, logo on left chest.

    That way you can still wear it while you work on your car and rest your belly on your greasy core support.

    And for the most part, it will still look cool after youre done:)

    From what I can recall hearing is that it was an east coast west coast thing.

    The cold weather on the east coast meant wearing a jacket for half the year so they put the art work on the front.

    the west caost was warmer year round so the put a small logo on the front and the main art work on the back.

    May be true, may not be true. I was a teenagar in the 60's!
