Please use this thread for legitimate and doable t-shirt ideas. I'm thinking we'll use something like http://cafepress.com and offer short sleeve / long sleeve options.

We need the logo to be short, to the point, and very readable.

As I've noted before I think on the front you can say "we DO judge by wins and losses" and put the football record in his 15 years right below it. On the back you could put "we won't go across the street".

I think a picture of RD's face with the universal red slashed circle on the front, and "It's Time to Go" beneath the picture. On the back "WE DO JUDGE BY WINS AND LOSSES AND WANT TULANE TO SUCCEED" with Football and Basketball records and a line about no Baseball post season in 8 years.

Too many words. Less is more:

Whatever it ends up saying I think I'll wear a necktie with it. :)

I also think we should have a "Fire Dickson" Fund raising Golf tournament and beer fest...too bad it is too late to have it for part of the Homecoming events !!!!

but I do like the simple approach... "Fire Dickson..Winning Matters"...." FIRE DICKSON....WE JUDGE BY WINS gotulanet"

I'll offer the same advice I offered with the text for the banner.

The t-shirt should include the website, www.firedickson.org. The t-shirts and banner are basically advertisements for the website which spells out the failures and facts. That's effective grassroots marketing.

Be careful before committing to trying to sell these. Seems to be total lack of interest from your hardcore, let alone casual potential purchaser.

If you don't want one, you don't have to purchase. For your info., they will likely be sold through http://cafepress.com or a similar vendor that requires no upfront money for printing.

You're a pain, and a troll.

Will buy several if available; question is, will the general public ?

How soon will the WINNING MATTERS FIRE DICKSON T Shirts be available on campus ?

Perfect visibility for Basketball TV broadcasts, hopefully for the Temple FB game, too ; let alone LBC, Library, classrooms, Bruff, the trolly, Brunos, Camellia Grill , Wilson....
