Actually, the VP and I were just talking about that. I am thinking heavy cotton, a tasteful logo, or maybe a tasteless slogan, like "Size Doesn't Matter".

I think a fully embroidered logo polo of good quality, emphasized in the description, would be a nice option. Of course from a marketing standpoint, large slogan/logo Tees will be the main thing to push. I wouldn't go too tasteless, as it could come off... well... tacky/gimmicky/trying too hard to be cool, etc. Nothing wrong with one or two offerings in that vein though. I'd focus more on slick imagery, and strong/dignified slogans, primarily.

Definitely a cap; black/tan/navy with the Boberg Arms logo. But I know you already thought of that :p

Good luck with everything Arne,
Maybe lose the colored rectangle background on the current logo, kind of gives it a "name tag" look. Don't forget us BIG people!

I am looking for the "colored rectangle background" - where is it that you see it?

It's in the "Store" under "Apparel". White polo, teal rectangle with logo printed on. I'd figure out a design that could be clearly embroidered without a background.

Arne, what is the animal shown in your logo?

That is a silhouette of Christian the Lion (long story). But that symbol also has to do with my great grandfather, who was an inventor in Sweden.

My suggestion for the tee-shirts is to set a budget for a great design - say $200-300 and post that target budget on the site http://99designs.com

There will be tons of talented graphic artists competing with each other to come up with the best one. People then vote on all the proposed designs and only the one that is ultimately selected gets paid.

All of the people who are Boberg Arms enthusiasts can participate in the voting but Arne ultimately is the one who gets to make the final decision.
