Hey everyone.

After an extended lull in creating new designs, we're back at it and will soon have a new batch of goddies for you all to vote on... and maybe a new contest in cooperation with a big time publisher.... more on that later.

At any rate. I've come up with an idea for a BANG! shirt and it's gone a couple different directions...
I am definately leaning towards one design, but wonder if it's a bit too obscure. So... take a look and tell me which one you all prefer.

Outlaw




Sherrif




Missed!

Seems little obscure for me with all three of them, possibly a bang logo on other side of shirt?

The "mancato" shirt is counterintuitive. With the number of bullets that shirt has caught, the wearer hasn't been doing much to hamper the opponent's aim.

The "sheriff" shirt reminds me of that song "I shot the sheriff", which may or may not be a good thing.

Outlaw shirt appeals to me in a Browncoat sort-of way.

I agree, but Chad and I have learned that some of these shirts will cross the gap and sell outside the geek, and in general, I think that a shirt that said BANG! would be bad. I know you wouldn't be allowed to wear it to school... Hech these three might not fit that bill... come to think of it.

With that in mind I would have to go with the Sheriff as the best then.

Anything with bullet holes runs the risk of being prohibited in schools... which automatically makes it cool.

I prefer the Outlaw shirt, as it's still definitely BANG! for any gamegeek, yet has a lot of crossover appeal. The Sherrif shirt is cool, but honestly if I saw someone wearing that shirt on the street, I wouldn't think it was associated with the game... and I like Bang.

Mancato is just too obscure for any crossover appeal, and, as mentioned above, it's counterintuitive.

I like the Outlaw one best as well. If kids wore them, at least the idea is that the outlaws are the bad guys and get shot at rather than the Sheriff. My $0.02.


Also, rotate your bullet hole a few varying degrees for each hole so it doesn't look so rubber stamped.

Definitely the Outlaw.
I'll sign up for one as soon as they're up and running.

+1 for Outlaw.

I like the Sheriff one, but I think there's a lot of opportunity for trouble to arise about that shirt (shooting law enforcement tends to be frowned upon). Another option is maybe have a wanted poster with one of the more well-known outlaws in the game?

The Macato one is just too obscure.

Is it possible to do the line of bullets on one arm, like on the side of the card? That might help it be identifiable.

Well, I've never played Bang, so....there's that. The Outlaw and Sheriff are both cool and I think could crossover. Outlaw just because, and the Sheriff because of "I Shot the Sheriff".

Personally, I like the Outlaw the best.
