RE: Hunting T-shirts
Any and all art should be simple, with minimal colour. You don't need a full colour reprint of a deet, turkey, or greenhead. It looks very "cheap". Simple silhouettes, outlines, and abstracts (think the Browing logo) are far more pleasing to the eye. Try to avoid large slogans and sayings.

RE: Hunting T-shirts
How about some truth on the hunting shirts? Some of these slogans may hit a little close to home so procede with caution and remember that the truth sometimes hurts. How about:
"Your decal on your truck doesn't make you a hunter."
"You're not on a hunting team, you're advertising for free."
"Most hunting 'associations' and 'foundations' are for profit, but you get a cool bumper sticker".
"A lot of money is made by making you think you're on the 'Team'".
"Most of the gear you think you need is just a gimick".
"Your favorite hunting show is really an infomercial".
"I've known a lot of people that hunt but very few hunters."
"Your decal on your truck doesn't make you a hunter."
"You're not on a hunting team, you're advertising for free."
"Most hunting 'associations' and 'foundations' are for profit, but you get a cool bumper sticker".
"A lot of money is made by making you think you're on the 'Team'".
"Most of the gear you think you need is just a gimick".
"Your favorite hunting show is really an infomercial".
"I've known a lot of people that hunt but very few hunters."
I should change my sig. line to read:
"TEam HOyt - Muzzy Broadheads - Rocky Shoes - Realtree - M.A.D. - Remington guns - Gold Tip Arrows - Ultra-omega-super-duper-buckslayer"
Or not.

RE: Hunting T-shirts
Thanks so much, I just came from the NRA convention and talked to a lot of folks about the hunting industry and the image it presents.
I'm an educated redneck and proud of my rural roots but tee shirts with "team redneck" or "redneck outfitters" with a confederate flag on them are not cute. They damage real hunters images.

RE: Hunting T-shirts
There are enough "red-neck" designs on the market, and that's about all that's out there. The only hunting-related clothing I'll actually wear out in public is logo-wear from some of the companies that make good gear, and decent looking logo-wear.
I'm really sick of the "Deer Antlers" being incorporated in every friggen thing out there. A clean logo on a good colored shirt is more appealing to me than anything. The "Outdoor Scenery" type back-drops are also way overdone! They just look too "neck" for me. I want to be taken seriously, not looked at as an un-educated imbred from the back-woods!
