As far as the sticker design... I vote for the classic, small route. I think that things are better when ther don't jump out and get in your face. I am thinking about 4 inches long and about 1.5 inches tall. simple, effective and cool... Regarding the tees, I feel that there needs to be 2 different designs. One with the kitchen sink (bigger logos, cars, pinstriping) and one that is vanilla. I myself prefer the simple designs on tees, but there are those out there that prefer the larger crazy stuff..... Here is my vote for the sticker.....
I would like a tee with the simple hamb red and white logo on the sleeve (the sticker design) and this on the back about 8 to 9 inches across in size...
That being said, let me know if I can be of****istance. I am head of Product Development for a 250 store teen retailer (I will not go into details of said chain as I do not want to start a whole other can of worms). But, I design tees all day long at work and have relationships with several tee manufactures and printers in the US. I think the that way to go with printing is a discharge print (the print is screened either from underneth or it is just a "one pass" screen) this gives the screen an old and aged look and a very soft non-abrasive hand and feel... let me know how I can help...

Django- While I dig the colaborative designs you came up with earlier and would wear it proudly, Hankcash's aged designs are also sweet. Tough decisions ahead. With his connections for shirts we may be able to maximize the $$$ for the HAMB. Just a thought. You guys with the designs are bad**** and thanks for all the work getting this together.
Like I said, the aged rectangle sticker rules. As for the shirt, from a branding standpoint, I don't like the idea of the masthead logo appearing on the same shirt as the shifter logo. They fight with one another and show a lack of consistancy. It has to be one or the other, IMO. We can apply that aged look to whatever design is chosen.
<font color="red"> This is the design that I had made for the Kiwi Hambers. I have these on the modified and these ones were Crusin's spares that he put on the windows of our new '55 last weekend. There are few sets of these in America. </font>
I like the shifter sticker or the one with ryans coupe. and T-shirts I think a small shifter in the left upper corner in front and a large pinstripe with the coupe on the back.
Alfster, I've gotten alot of compliments from HAMB folks on the sticker you designed. I really love it, thanks.
I have a couple friends who work at print shops and often do side jobs both stickers and t-shirts. Get some money together and we could have shirts and stickers done in a week or two. I like most of the designs offered. For stickers the Kiwi one works for me.
<font color="red"> No, I didn't design it. There was a post here about a year and a half ago on this same subject and there were a bunch of neat ideas posted. I just 'stole' the one I liked. I did have copies of all the suggested decal ideas but I lost them in a computer crash. Yes, I know I should have backed it all up. </font>
I'll put my vote in on the 4 speed sticker and the primer t shirt with the pinstripped design with 4 speed or Ryans coupe. 345windon needs to go back on his medication.
Alright, count me in too...here's another thought...if you guys can decide on a design, my old man's got a screen printer....makes alot of shirts, including the ones for my band....if we had the design, we could be hammerin' 'em out already! I'll pitch in with the screen printing time if you guys want to decide on a design....let me know...
