Need your input - New fund raiser for Jim@Ape

[Arstron]

With the amount of info I was putting on the front, it honestly wont cost me that much more as it stands, becuse of the bigger APE logo, I will be using an extra 2" of material and ink. I will be printing these on my own time and at my cost for big evil to get as much money as we can raised for Jim.

[robnix]

ditto :)

This is a great idea, but one that I think could be done with a bit more taste.

[Warwitch]

I like the first design best personally. Im a little miffed at the response (or lack therof) that I got from APE. I cant remember who I talked to but I would think APE would be a huge part of this but they quit responding after about two pm's ?

Yup. I agree.

No offense meant to BigEvil or Arstron for your efforts or designs, but for me it's too serious of a matter to try and bring humor into it.

Scott for instance. Point being I dont really feel they deserve to be honored on the shirts. My .02......

I don't really know who Jim is. I was assuming that he is the owner of APE. Is this correct? Or is he just a guy who works for them?

[Smoothice]

Yup. I agree.

For me I think the more humor the better. I spend enough time with tears in my eyes over this issue.

Just my .02 cents.

I'm on the side of Luke on this one..

The lousy Tshirt line and the urinating really does little to benefit the idea, and can take alot away.

Just say something along the lines of standing behind Jim. That's all it needs.

I don't know, it seems to me that making light of the situation should be reserved for those that are directly involved, not those on the outside. Somehow it doesn't set right with me thinking of my kid wearing a shirt like that to school. But like I said I will contribute no matter what tee shirt is made, but it would be nice to have a shirt to wear that may prompt others to contribute.

Come one guys, humor is a big help in the healing/ recovery process. Im a nurse, I should know. I think the shirt is great! Plus anyone who plays paintball will understand the peeing thing. I'd pick one up.

[Papa_Smurf]

I'd take a few.

My four year old is at the age where he thinks anything involving the potty is side splitting funny. I'm not four, I'd like to buy one and be able to wear it to the office.

Well then post up some alternate ideas.

I personally would be bored by a shirt that has nothing but text. So what would another eye catching design for the front be?

For the record I like the peeing. Perhaps I am 4 years old at heart.

But maybe another idea would be the same painball guy unloading a hopper full at the word leukemia.

Picture him standing there with his gun drawn and a string of paintballs making their way out of the gun to the target. And a few splat marks already on the target.

Don't have any. I just know what I won't wear, since he asked for comments on this, I gave out mine.

Job well done, I'd wear that (as long as it's a mag ). It fits the concept a lot better than the whole peeing bit. It's paintballers against leukaemia, not the local chapter of the peemeisters.

We will take any and all of your ideas and critiques into consideration. However, if you knew Jim, you would be wondering why we kept the humor so 'tame

Maybe we can come up with something a little more AO-directed.
