So, has anyone seen any around the interwebs?

i have recently decided that my arms are a bit too 'tuck-shop lady' to wear singlets anymore and am making the switch to t-shirts. So i have been shopping around trying to find some funky T's with something interesting to say, but i havern't seen any BMFM T's. Plenty of TMNT, even rainbow Brite, but no BMFM :(

So does anyone know a secret place?

Or, is anyone here super fantastic and interested in making a design for CafePress or a site like that?

We could even brainstorm some slogans :)

ok just a few ideas

*Naturally, the standart BMFM title logo
*a distressed looking Freedom Fighter looking uniform, perhaps a FF logo and name badge in that green army colour
*For the girls, Team Shirts, like Team Vinnie, Team Throttle, Team Modo or even Team Stoker
*For the boy; Team Charlie, Team Carbine or Team Harley
*Something with that 'Wild and Wooley Univers' monologue
*Rock and Ride
*A white shirt with a drawn on red bandana, and banoleers. That same for Throttle and Modo shirts too.
*"three Blind Mice" the bros with blindfolds on.

Don't care what the canon says or shows. I suspect they went green fatigues out of familiarity, but red desert camo would have made a metric buttload more sense! Seriously from what I remember of Stoker and Rimfire's getup in the old series, you could have spotted that yellow and green from space and picked them off.

I have no idea how anyone interested in undertaking such a project would go about it, really, as unless permission is given from Criterion and whoever, it should count as a "fan work", but if they are more or less mass produced and sold at profit for whoever makes them that's profiteering off someone else's work which then makes it ripping which is an offence bannable by T :)

They have action figures and games, maybe if there's enough interest they might be persuaded to do a clothes line?

Red fatiques would make more sense, but yeah, i think they went with green.

i had a coffee yesterday (caffine is not my freind) so i couldn't sleep and kept thinking of new designs.

i though of one for Kishi: A picture or Throttles Bike, with the text 'It's not F**KING GREEN!!'

also the Logo for the Last Chance Garage.

A dramatic Pic of Vinnie with 'The Mouse behind the Mask'

theres more, but i have to remember them again LOL

My friend is a graphic designer and she made up the uniforms for my Dog Rescue group, so she might be able to to, costwise as well as legal wise.

I used one of those iron on patches things that you can print a pic from the PC onto the patch then iron onto a t-shirt.
It lasted 2 Washes n' that was all. >_< Not impressed!!

Hopefully it can be better quality than that. I;d buy them! ^_^

Maybe the plant used to make red/orange die for shirts was wiped out by the Plutarkians?

another basic attempt, nothing new on the first try, only a different image

The second one would look better in black I reckon, maybe coz I'm used to seeing it on a black background ;) The stylised black looks good on white. I'd wear that. Though because I'm strange I'd also centre it but keep it as high up as it is, if that makes any sense :)

i think i might be able to do that in black now, i will fiddle tomorrow.

i would like the image bigger, but there is a limit.

as for its virtical placement, lower wouldn't be too bad actually, i am not sure where it would sit when boobies came int othe equation LOL.

but i (i being my husband with help from my graphic designer friend) worked out the transparency stuff so if i can find the right type of red, i might be able to do the FF fatigues.

ETA i found out my husband has photoshop so i might be able to work some cool stuff with that. key word being 'might'.

in terms of legalities of using these images, if we put up what images we want/make and then make them ourself with CafePress, then i don't think we will be stepping on anybodies toes.

unless permissions will be given, but i don't know where to ask :) and i'm shy.

Ask "Criterion" who to ask. He's nice. Though he's also busy so might take a while to get back :)

Don't go lower, logos look better on the chest, nice flat area (usually!) if you're a guy for maximum clarity, and get elevated slightly if they get stretched across boobs.
