Instead of the shoe, I think a more iconic image would be the mule collar with hames.

I dunno, Boss, I think you will need to find a Freudian artist to make that design...
Could just be the top with the hames and the mule’s ears. Hard to explain in words.

Then we'd have to worry about the milk mafia. If we use the milk syndicate's slogan, we might end up as grated cheese.

LOL! (again.) "The Almond side." LOL LOL. That cow's doing pretty good holding a Beretta with hooves.

Well, how about a t-shirt based on the new, official Mule sticker ?

The design looks neat, is already complete, and is already approved by Spyderco.

It's a neat graphic. Shouldn't a Mule Team graphic depict Mules, though?

That Spyderco graphic could be featured on a Spyderco-designed Mule t-shirt - as opposed to the fan-designed ones, which would also be featuring the animal.

Or it could also be part of a fan-designed Mule shirt, e.g. on the back (whilst the fan logo would be on the front).

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I meant: shouldn't a Mule Team graphic depict Mules, the knife? (Not mule the animal). It's a neat repeating-pattern design, but wouldn't it make more sense to show Spyderco Mules instead of other models of knives, if it's designed for Muleigans? (Or Mule Team Infantry Battalion Artillery Army Corps, whichever name sticks.) I could make a design like that in about 5 minutes...

BUT: I've gotten the impression that fan-designed graphics are a legal headache for Spyderco. Sal and tribe have seen the graphics put forward by fans so far, and there's been no encouraging word for any of them, so yours truly has read between the lines and stopped working on graphics.

On a stack of Bibles, I don't see a Mule in that graphic. What am I missing, am I going blind? Somebody circle the Mule for me please...I must be going insane...or blind!

I see a Mule Team knife in the image next to the sticker, but I only see knives with straight spines in the sticker.

Turns out I'm the blind one :downcast

Indeed the blade of the knives drawn on the sticker have a straight spine... but frankly it's pretty close to the representation of a Mule :grin-sweat
Thus it'd only take minofr modifications to make that sticker Mule-compliant :cowboy

Maybe when the straight spine mule is released, it'll look just like the sticker!!

Funny, I was thinking about that just today : once the perennial SPY27 Mule is out, the problem will be somehow solved :squinting-tongue

Okay, not on The Mule Team at this point, but had an idea for a shirt..

A mule team pulling a bread truck.

Maybe the dates the mule team has been running too? Or 1976-2022AD?

Did that get mentioned?

Just putting it out there.
