This years fashion must have

Raveninblack who very kindly is willing to sort something out again and do another run. There's no profit involved so he does this cos he's a dude!.

We could go either way with this. I`m looking for ideas/designs - if we don`t get any it simply won`t happen.

1. The unofficial route:-
We have something unofficial (therefore no Stranglers logo etc) that relates to the site - Last year we had quite a tidy forums logo at the top left of this page. Not really sure about what we could do.

2. An official Hugh T-Shirt. Last year Hugh very kindly approved a T-Shirt design. It cracked him up and he seemed to laugh and approve everytime he sees a fan wearing one. He even wore the T-Shirt on one of the Blondie gigs. We'd have to come up with a suitable design and I`d then have to seek approval from Hugh/management - it will have to be something well thought out, witty, non-offensive etc. I wouldn`t insult (or timewaste) Hugh or his management by suggesting something unsuitable.

As is always the case these T-Shirts have 1 run and are extremely collectable, affordable (no profit), and many fans are disappointed if they missed out.

So let's have Ideas and give us a shout if you are seriously interested.

Fashion must, you say? Count me in then!
Out of the 2 options I'd probly go with the unofficial route- more chance to be creative (well, okay- offensive!) and would probly be quicker to produce not having to clear all official channels and red tape.

Definitely interested.

Did this die a death last year? (judging by the thread?). I can't believe there was so little interest.

So Jim, the unofficial one.............Strictly no artwork, images etc. officialy related to the band? So we can't have the original BUT logo, meninblack.co.uk, rat, wreath, raven, MiB?, like we did in 2004. That was just the job that 'un.

Failing that, what about matey's (can't remember his name?), South Park/Norfolk Coast cartoon?

i.e.

This.................

Or maybe, even this...........

Or, is it all a bit too Mk3 oriented?

We can still use the same design as last year or whenever it was, and possibly go with a back print. Or Hugh did say last time if we wanted to do anymore there wasn't a problem, so its just a case of coming up with something witty.... and apt!
Any more quotes?

On the front: B.U.T. - The place to talk Stranglers
and on the back: Got anything to say? No? Well shut up!

Wouldn't mind both actually, but only if there's a skinny fit option for the lasses. Can't think of owt for the design tho
