I have a bazillion tee shirts. I'd favor spending more and getting a
collared shirt with embroidery instead of a screened shirt. On a
previous project, we got some for in the 30s ballpark... 4 thread colors
on a small offset (over the heart) front logo and about 15 colors in a a
transfer print on the back (but that was just imaging, not embroidery)

But I think a shirt is premature, we need a logo first.

The <-O-> may be trade dress or a trademark of TLG. But if not, I'd
favor using it.
Note that PNLTC uses a different arrow (it kind of reminds me a bit of
BritRail's old logo).

Can we ask PNLTC if we can use their arrow, perhaps in a different color
(different color to show difference, same arrow for continuity). What
did the Georgia gang do?

Gee Lar- I was going to do the shirts gratis. After a while we can sink in the serious coin for embroidery. As for the logo -here is the Georgia dudes logo: (URL) a little too slick and webby pagey for my taste. I like the PNLTC's logo, but perhaps (...) (28 years ago, 11-Jan-99, to lugnet.loc.us.mn.msp)
