Heck yeah. That shirt rocks. The logo would even be more stylish if it were over the left breast like an Izod. Heck, you could even have a graphic of a MG-42 shootin the Izod crocodile dead.

YEA, I like that too! How about adding under the graphics; "Die Deutsche Machinengewehr"

WELL WE WENT THROUGH design and everyone said "I want 1" and the member that was supposed to have them for us by last may dropped the ball so I extended an offer to anyone that wants to do shirts and noone has spoken up, if anyone wants to help please do so let me know :D

I have wanted to design an MG42 T shirt for a long time. The problem is I can't find a nice graphic in high enough resolution that is uncopywrited (uncopywritten??? whatever.). I just got my MG42SA so I was going to go outside and try to take some good pics but I am not photographer. I would either PhotoShop it or something like that.

If you have a good photo or can make a graphic let me know and I'll see what I can do.

Here is a link to the MG34 T Shirt I made with an uncopywrited photo. It's OK but I need a better graphic to make a better shirt. Something along the lines of a side profile like the German MG42 shirt.

How about a "golf or polo" shirt? I can wear those to work.

I just don't wear regular t-shirts that much. Probably because my neck is so big...

Golf/Polo shirts are easy as long as I get a decent graphic. Anyone feel like desinging or taking pics?

Whatever design we choose, it's gotta BE COOL. No crappy 2nd rate graphics. Maybe we should PHOTOSHOP THIS. hehehehe.

Silk Screen is definatly the way to go if given the choice. Put me in for one or two if they are reasonable (under $20).

:D

How about just using the graphic from the top of the page, shrunk down with the "MG42" enlarged to be almost as large as the gun. Embroideried in black, of course.

Maybe have the shirt in feldgrau.

The "Dark Side" looks better.

The Graphic in this post thread isn't high enough resolution. If someone can silkscreen then I say we go that route. Or embroideried. I am limited to the dye on fabric limitations of Cafepress.
