That's probably a good idea.  That way it allows for some group
discussion (some good, some bad) about what's going on with the
design ideas.

Wow, I don't think I've seen those shirt pages before.  But
yeah, that's exactly the idea I had in mind.

By that you mean an automated one, correct?

That would be neat!  Depending on what "medium quality" means, I
may not buy them in the first place though.  I would like to buy
ones that are the same quality as I would find in a clothing
store for all my other clothes (Sears, The Bay, etc.).  Something
with a high quality printing that won't crank/fade/peel in a
short amount of time.

Ya like that, eh?  :]  Even though its "less casual" than a
T-shirt, I wouldn't be able to wear one to work.  Our company
has a "dress code" that we cannot wear logos (except for
discrete ones from the clothing maker).  But I'm sure it'd
get plenty of elsewhere wear!  :]

(...) Well, we could set up a special newsgroup/mailing list if that would be helpful. A email address at lugnet.com for design submissions would kinda be a bottleneck, plus I won't really be getting involved in this except to set up an order page (...)
