Mule team T-Shirts anyone?

[Fireman]

As much as I do love the rabbit smoking the pipe, The kicking mule is better. The simplified shield will do better for visual impact and readability. It can also be made into a patch that can be attached to a host of different things.

For those who prefer a simple shield design, with several different font options. I have avoided using the Spyderco bug since I'm not certain where we stand with copyrighted logos, although I imagine the shape of the Mule is basically a trade-mark in itself. Reviewing this, I think the (animal) mule should be kicking out of the border; I'll fix that, if this is the design the Muleros want to develop.

All good work so far!

I agree the shield style is more adaptable in use, and would like to see how the mule looks kicking outside the border.

Of the three fonts, I like the middle one best. All caps is better too.

(Now back to the game..)

Maybe something a little more simple for my tastes. It is a fun avenue to explore though.

Ok, it is time to place your votes for the designs. We need to submit to Spyderco our design.

I could like a simple version (second one, with minimized date) too.

Maybe "steel" should be plural to match "testers"?

A few Qs please..

How will the voting be organized? A poll perhaps?

Will Spyderco make the gear, or just give permission?

[Fireman]

We are asking permission from Spyderco. Spyderco will have to approve the design.
I was going to use an outside vendor.
I was using this thread to get peoples input so please let your design choices you known here.

We can have more than 1 design. Then after obtaining Sal's blessing, upload them on one of the many online t-shirt printing platforms.

A bit more complicated. Spyderco needs to have an understanding with the printing platform to maintain control etcetera. I am in communication with the Spyderco team. The blessing would only apply to a tee shirt. I hope a couple designs get the blessing. Please make your preferences known on design and I will submit it for review.

[LakeOconee]

Indeed it is complicated.

Are Spyderco copyrighted images to be allowed?

Basically Spyderco would take care of the production of the designs we propose them ?

Would be good to come up with 2-3 rough designs by the middle of this month, which we could then have polished by early March.

Submission...

Really dig this! I like the others too.

I'd love to buy one that was like a concert tour style t-shirt with all the steels and representative numbers and years on the back from previous MTs. I'm just not sure if there would be issues with trademarks from the steel companies, etc.

Currently have this shirt, but would absolutely add a MT one to my wardrobe too

Man, having all the steels laid out in a tour date style would be awesome!

[AlexRus]

Submission...

Wow, that's cool!

[Fireman]

Could the diamond shape be 4 mules?
That is a good design.
Time to get your last votes or submission in. Have to respond with the artwork for review
Thanks!

[Araignee]

Then I suggest you wait until sunday evening to give the proposals to Spyderco. Gotta give time off work for folks to work on the designs.

[Ilocano73]

My take on a shirt I'd like to see.

[Fireman]

That looks great. Thank you for doing that. That may have to be an official shirt from spyderco though.

[Manixguy@1994]

So where are we ? I’m confused which most of the time is normal . What would be wrong asking Sal for some suggestions ? I know now he throws this out there . MG2

[Fireman]

Sal wanted to see the artwork for approval and I hope some input if he does not like the designs

[Pokey]

I was wondering if anyone could photo shop the outline of a Mule Team knife as the subtle shadow under the kicking mule on Araignee's post on the second page?
