Ahem, I have refrained from commenting on the T-shirt thread until now:-)
Actually, my business is designing and printing T-shirts, and so I would be
available to print lower runs (and bigger, for that matter) of certain designs
(with TLC's permission).

I have actually already printed some LEGO related tees already ("Leg Godt", "I read
LUGNET", Brickenrocker®, etc).  Embroidery is also a possibility.

If the usage of LEGO marks (as in torso concepts suggested) is a problem, please
just say so. I'm sure the community would have more great ideas.

Someone had suggested (don't remember who) just the classic smiley. I'd love a
shirt with just that exact pair of eyes and mouth on a yellow tee. That seems
less legally intrusive to me.

Or what about the really, really old graphics. Like the vintage LEGO guy wearing
overalls?

There are other good ideas for shirts (chronology of trains, LEGO slogans,
stud/brick designs), but I think the main emphasis should be on torsos. What
could be cooler than dressing up like your favorite minifig? Well, probably a
lot of things, but I'm a LEGO nerd, what do you want? Plus, they just look
good.

Another design suggestion would be to leave out a lot of words and captions and
stuff. Just the design is enough, along with a small square LEGO logo on the
sleeve or upper back, as suggested by Bram above.

(1): Castle torsos I would buy:
-Black Falcon logo on blue w/black sleeves
-Wolfpack logo on all-brown
-Crusaders (lion rampant) logo on red w/blue sleeves
-Forestmen shirt w/blue collar $ sleeves (no belt! - this would look dumb!)

(2): Space torsos I would buy:
-Classic Space in blue and black
-Futuron in blue
-M-Tron logo on red w/white sleeves

A Classic Space shirt would be great! so understated.

And I'd like that clever train line graphic on a blue tee  :-)
