I couldn't help myself. This thread has a heck load of views! LOL

I'm just giving you a hard time. ;D But I'm sure there are local Relay teams in your area.

True, but we are talking around a minimum of 55 shirts. That's ALOTTA dyeing! at my old church we used to make tie dye shirts for all the kids all you need is bigggg bucket and 2 bags of large rubberbands we used to make 100's You volunteering? It actually sounds fun, but seriously not happening. There are so many other things that we have to get done for this event that we just don't have time or the man-power. Unfortunately when it comes to volunteer work, you can't always depend on your volunteers so easy is better!

True, but we are talking around a minimum of 55 shirts. That's ALOTTA dyeing!

I love that but every year the team shirts are a tie-dye. It's kind of the team "signature" and I don't think I could get the team and team captain on board with changing the team shirts. Thanks for checking!

Hey, a pretty picture is what we are looking for. We will take graphic art on the computer or hand-drawn. We just need to get something designed and approved by the team so we can get our shirts ordered because June is fast approaching. Does Zazzle sell tie-dye?

It's going to be on the front center of the t-shirts so just go with a size that would be large enough for that. On the back we will print all of the team sponsor names. (We are selling ad space on the backs of the shirts.) The file would need to be a png or tif, probably something with a transparent background. (Another team member is going to a local tattoo artist today to see if he would be interested in drawing something up in exchange for a $250 ad space on the back of the shirt. So if you are actually drawing something, I guess it would have to be scanned in and then converted?) The big thing is that we don't want a real heavily screen printed design because it will make the shirts hot. Our Relay event is in June and here in Arkansas that means HOT, HOT, HOT! (Here's another link to a shirt with a design we were also considering. See how the inside of the bottle is filled with drawings of different things? http://mojoware.net/Mojoware_spring_2010/MOJOWARE_Spring_2010.html#54) On a side note, we are looking for some inexpensive, light-weight tie-dye to print these on and maybe a printer. (We had a screen printer in the past who printed at his cost but he is very ill and we don't want to "bother" him with that right now.) We would consider using a printer who is not local so if we have some people here in the screenprinting business and you have a good deal, let me know!

Ok, so this post has absolutely NOTHING to do with naked women. I just did that to get you fellas to read and hopefully help out. I am needing a HUGE favor from one of the talented artists we have in this community. I am working on shirts for our Relay For Life team. If you don't know what Relay For Life is, it is the main fundraising event for the American Cancer Society and it is volunteer-driven. This year at Relay our team theme is Mexico. We love the Day of the Dead but figure most people wouldn't care for skulls. So instead we are looking to put a Day of the Dead style sun on the front of the shirts. We have worked and worked and worked but aren't getting anywhere on the artwork. So now I'm here asking for help. Anyone interested in drawing up something? If so, here are a few things that might help: -The shirts will be screen printed with black and maybe white ink. So we really need a drawing that is black outlines. -It was suggested to have a sun wearing a sombrero, holding maracas. -Somewhere it the artwork it needs to say: Celebrate, Remember, Fight Back and it needs to have the sponsoring team name "Images by Gayle". -We really want flowers for the eyes, just like Day of the Dead skulls. And we love the intricate detailing. Here's a link of some skulls we liked: http://www.art-is-fun.com/pencil-drawing-of-a-skull.html That is all I can think of. If you would like to help and need any other info., let me know. And thanks in advance for any help you guys give!

That is very cool.

Wow, pretty amazing. The patience that must require!

Just kidding around. I don't get all that tech talk.

What language was that you were speaking?

Yeah, welcome! Hope y'all enjoy.

You aren't the only one!

Ok, so I guess I'm a prude. Don't like it. Too much violence and sex. Total dude show.

Here is what I found over in the Ranger section. These are a little easier to see, but I still can't figure out what the big "suprise" is. Anyone?

Awesome! Congratulations!

Browns sign Fujita. :'(

Brees was tweeting about LT, asking who thinks he should be a Saint. Although he was quick to say that he loves "Pierre, Reg, Bell, Train" calling them the best stable of backs in the NFL.

She probably game Limbaugh a "pass" because he wasn't taking cheap shots at her child. Family Guy is stupid show anyways and quite tacky. Not suprised at how low a show will go for laughs. Of course, I've never been one to find entertaintment in such humor. A little more mentally stimulating suits me best.

GEAUX SAINTS!!! Well we DID have a houseful and we were all going NUTS!!!! Pat O's hurricanes, mardi gras beads, king cake, black and gold, and fleur de leis' EVERYWHERE! I am a happy, happy girl today! That game was great. They played really well. Everyone had me fearing him, but Peyton Manning turned out to be a total dud. History was made last night. WHO DAT, BABY!

Voted

LOL! I do! Reading that article hypes me up. Super bowl this weekend and Mardi Gras next weekend. Good times ahead!

Well, don't discount them just yet. They didn't get the superbowl handed to them. And plenty of other teams had the chance to take it from them, but couldn't.

Dear Miami: Get ready for the Who Dat Nation coming for the Super Bowl By Mark Lorando, The Times-Picayune February 01, 2010, 2:06PM Dear Miami, The Saints are coming. And so are we, their loyal, long-suffering and slightly discombobulated Super Bowl-bound fans. While there's still time to prepare -- although a few hard-core Who Dats will begin trickling in Monday, most of us won't arrive until Thursday or Friday -- we thought we'd give you a heads-up about what you should expect. First things first: You need more beer. Yeah, we know. You ordered extra. You think you have more than any group of humans could possibly consume in one week. Trust us. You don't. New Orleans was a drinking town long before the Saints drove us to drink. But it turns out beer tastes better when you're winning. (Who knew?) So let's just say we're thirsty for more than a championship; adjust your stockpiles accordingly. And look. When we ask you for a go-cup, be nice to us. We don't even know what "open container law" means. Is that anything like "last call"? It's Carnival season in New Orleans (that's Mardi Gras to you), and we'll be taking the celebration on the road. So don't be startled if you walk past us and we throw stuff at you; that's just our way of saying hello. Oh, and sorry in advance about those beads we leave dangling from your palm trees. We just can't help ourselves. February is also crawfish season, and you can be sure that more than one enterprising tailgater will figure out a way to transport a couple sacks of live mudbugs and a boiling pot to Miami. When the dude in the 'Who Dat' T-shirt asks if you want to suck da head and pinch da tail, resist the urge to punch him. He's not propositioning you. He's inviting you to dinner. And if you see a big Cajun guy who looks exactly like an old Saints quarterback walking around town in a dress ... don't ask. It's a long story. We know that crowd control is a major concern for any Super Bowl host city. Our advice? Put away the riot gear. Reason No. 1: Indianapolis is going to lose, and their fans are way too dull to start a riot. Reason No. 2: New Orleans showed the world on Sunday that we know how to throw a victory party. We don't burn cars. We dance on them. Reason No. 3: Even if we did lose, which we won't, leaving the stadium would be like leaving a funeral, and our typical response to that is to have a parade. Speaking of which: If you happen to see a brass band roll by, followed by a line of folks waving their handkerchiefs, you're not supposed to just stand there and watch. As our own Irma Thomas would say, get your backfield in motion. And hey, Mister DJ! Yes, we know you've already played that stupid Ying Yang Twins song 10 times tonight, but indulge us just one more time. To us, "Halftime (Stand Up and Get Crunk)" isn't just a song; it's 576 points of good memories. It's the sound of a Drew Brees touchdown pass to Devery Henderson, a Pierre Thomas dive for first down on 4th-and-1, a Garrett Hartley field goal sailing through the uprights in overtime. It's what a championship sounds like. You may get sick of hearing it. We won't. Encore, dammit. Inside Sun Life Stadium, you may find your ears ringing more than usual. We're louder than other fans. Seven thousand of ours sound like 70,000 of theirs. Don't believe us? Ask the 12th man in the Vikings huddle. Some people think it's just the Dome that heightens our volume. But you're about to discover a little secret: We can scream loud enough to make your head explode, indoors or out. It's not the roof. It's the heart. Well, OK, and the beer. Don't be surprised if there are more Saints fans outside the stadium than inside. A lot of us are coming just to say we were part of history, even if we can't witness it up close. The Saints are family to us, and you know how it is with family: We want to be there for them, whether they really need us or not. Because we know our presence will mean something to them, whether they can see us or not. Come to think of it, seeing as how you're taking us in for the week, we pretty much regard you as family, too. So we're warning you now: If you're within hugging distance, you're fair game. Hugging strangers is a proud Who Dat tradition, right up there with crying when we win. Most sports fans cry when their teams lose. Not us. We've been losing gracefully and with good humor for 43 years. Tragedy and disappointment don't faze us. It's success that makes us go to pieces. Hurricane Katrina? We got that under control. The Saints in the Super Bowl? SOMEBODY CALL A PARAMEDIC!!! So anyway, don't let the tears of joy freak you out. We're just ... disoriented. OK. Let's review: Order more beer. Throw me something, mister. Suck da heads. Wear da dress. Stand up. Get crunk. Hug it out. Protect your eardrums. Pass the Kleenex. Hoist the trophy. See you at the victory party.
