yellowlightman Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 (edited) I've been wanting to make a Macross themed shirt for a while, but finally got off my ass and started drawing up some preliminary ideas. Keep in mind these are still pretty rough, but once I get them to where I like them I'll have them printed up make them available. the front: v.1 v.2 the back: Let me know what you guys think.

izzyfcuk Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 i think it looks great and i want one.. make it happen.. Quote
Ishimaru Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 Should at least place U.N Spacy under the symbol and place the part that was replaced next it or somewhere. I mean come on it needs to say it somewhere... Just pointing it out. Quote
grapetang Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 Nice!!! I don't know why but somehow, I'm accustomed to seeing the fighters pointing _up_ with the scoreboard between them rather than pointing right. You could pack them a little closer (if you wanted) if you move the VF-19 up & to the right or if you have them facing each other. It's looking great! Quote
wldr Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 Looks like a very nice design yellowlightman. I'd wear that! Quote
F-ZeroOne Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 Bandai reply: you'd sell more if you split the YF-19 and the YF-21 between two shirts. Quote
Dante74 Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 Bandai reply: you'd sell more if you split the YF-19 and the YF-21 between two shirts. That's actually a pretty good idea. a beige shirt for the YF-19 and a blue one for the 21. Quote
Roy's Blues Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 Can you sell these? Won't HG put the bigslap on it? I'm interested. Quote
Zinjo Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 (edited) Can you sell these? Won't HG put the bigslap on it? I'm interested. They don't own the rights to Mac Plus, Manga Entertainment currently has that.... I'd suggest pointing the fighters upward as well, however with the noses pointing toward each other kinda like having the fighters creating the outline of the Spacy Kite through their positioning (if possible). Another possibility is to have two separate designs. On the front side have "General Galaxy Team" inside one of the squares with the YF-21 on the back and "Project Super Nova" and the same for the YF-19. It's too bad we don't have a decent SD cartoon or a cartoon like this one to use for each team's fighter: Edited April 12, 2007 by Zinjo Quote
Mechamaniac Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 NICE! If you get this made, I want at least one! Get with Solscud007 on this, he has shirts made for MWCon every year. Quote
jenius Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 On the front side have "General Galaxy Team" inside one of the squares with the YF-21 on the back and "Project Super Nova" and the same for the YF-19. I think that's a pretty cool idea, except the YF-19 shirt would say Shinsei. Hmm... I kinda want to get a Shinsei Industries polo shirt now to have the ultimate obscure reference going everytime I golf. That said, I also like the first design plenty also. Quote
yellowlightman Posted April 12, 2007 Author Posted April 12, 2007 Just to clear up a couple questions, the current layout of the back will probably make it to the final shirt. I've tried a bunch of different mock-ups with the planes in different positions and this one is the only one that allows for larger pictures, without being oddly shaped (as in too narrow). I might design more shirts later, but for right now I'm just trying to get this one done. Quote
Lonewolf Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 On the back of the shirt, why not use the upeer half of the yf-21 and use the yf-19 as the other half of the fighter kind of like this Quote
Garrick Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 It's too bad we don't have a decent SD cartoon or a cartoon like this one to use for each team's fighter: There's something, you could try to rip if from the Super Robot Wars Alpha movies on Youtube Quote
mac666er Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 As long as the yf 21 is on the t shirt and is blue, would definitely buy one. mac Quote
yellowlightman Posted April 13, 2007 Author Posted April 13, 2007 How much? Not sure, I'll make a thread in the For Sale section shortly before they final designs go to the print shop. Quote
Mechamaniac Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 Make sure to include sizes for those of us who may be a little long in the waistband... Quote
Malich Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 I will definitely buy 2 when they are ready. Quote
Roy's Blues Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 I will buy one. You could use cafepress.com. Quote
Zinjo Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 I think that's a pretty cool idea, except the YF-19 shirt would say Shinsei. That's what I meant.... I guess I should have typed it out... my bad... Quote
Veritas Posted April 14, 2007 Posted April 14, 2007 Noice. I'd def. pick at least one up. Looking forward to it. Quote
yellowlightman Posted April 18, 2007 Author Posted April 18, 2007 Finalized designs have been sent to the printer and I'm nor taking preorders. Please see this thread for more information: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=22290 Quote
