Hmmm, interesting. I wouldn't go with Cafepress, however, because they don't
offer shirts in any color but white and gray, and even then, they only offer
the printable area of 8x10 on the front (not sure about the back). One of
the most common requests when I made the minifig shirt was "Hey, can I get
just the CS <or subtheme> logo on a <certain color> shirt?"

Very good.

Hooray!

I'm certainly interested. However, I have to wonder if TLC is going to have
their designers make a few shirts with the official logos on them? Certainly
TLC wouldn't want us to make a crappy looking CS logo, for instance, when
they could simply apply the official art themselves. Would they consider
offering official logos for download (pdf, maybe?), at which point we could
use the logo to make a custom shirt? Just some questions to consider...
I applaud the interest shown by TLC in the matter. Maybe some of my whining
did a little bit of good. ;^)
Thanks LEGO!

| (...) I'm not sure if they're "set" on CafePress.com -- but Brad did specifically mention it. Out of curiosity, do you know of other shirt places online that do 100% of the post-design work (taking the orders, taking the money, printing the goods, (...)
