Title: New shirt design
Post by: blacktailbob on July 09, 2019, 03:40:31 PM
Terry gave me the go ahead to put Tradgang on these as well. Custom text is also available for clubs etc.
They are done with heat transfers on light colored fabric ( white, ash gray, tan ) as they are ordered.
I don't keep a lot of shirts in stock so there may be a little wait time.
For prices and more details please contact me through my email  [email protected]

For every shirt I sell I'll also donate $2.00 to St. Judes

Any input or ideas for other future designs appreciated as well.

235 views and that's the first complement I got. Glad someone understands it.

Just for that I'm sending you a free one Kentucky Wolf.

Pm address and size to me. I'll still add $2 to St. Jude's

Thanks

Well it's different. 
Not something I'd wear but then again I'm fashion sense deficient.

"Any input or ideas for other future designs appreciated as well."

Tell me what you guys prefer and I'll draw it up.
Not only can I draw a bow...physically and with a pencil...I can draw most anything.

I didn't know it was suppose to be the " thinking man", looks like he's disgusted because he  just made a bad shot. At least that's what I feel I look like when I do.

Bob,

Thank you. I will wear it proudly. I’ll PM you my info.

Also, bottom design if possible please. As much as I like TradGang, at some point I would like to wear it to work on a “casual dress” day....I don’t think the admin would be down with a website on it. Personally, I like both.

I wanted to add this:

The design speaks to me personally. I teach high school and college biology (and related classes) in a very rural part of Kentucky. I occasionally talk hunting with kids to connect with them. They find it very usually that I hunt ‘Indian style’ as they put it.....and have been referred to as a “caveman philosopher/scientist “ more than once.

Actually the first two words in my post was the first compliment you received however the question that followed obviously offset the former and I still don’t get the meaning. Being a shallow minded shipbuilder from the south I ain’t to educated and probably miss the value of what many may appreciate. Keep up the good work T/G needs a good artist and look forward to future designs!

The Thinker was exhibited individually in 1888 and thus became an independent work. Enlarged in 1904, its colossal version proved even more popular: this image of a man lost in thought, but whose powerful body suggests a great capacity for action, has become one of the most celebrated sculptures ever known. Numerous casts exist worldwide, including the one now in the gardens of the Musée Rodin, a gift to the City of Paris installed outside the Panthéon in 1906, and another in the gardens of Rodin’s house in Meudon, on the tomb of the sculptor and his wife.

A little info on the sculpture.  "I think, therefore I am"  I think?

I'll be working on more designs soon.

I think its awesome!   But is that spelling error supposed to be there?

Man, all those "Atta boys" just got cancelled out by an "Aw crap!"
Just goes to show you how the brain will read words even when misspelled and never notice it like the other 500+ viewers.
Me included.

Error is corrected.  Thanks Gorilla

I know what "the thinking man" is.  To me he really looks more dazed and confused.
Or tired and bored. 
Design is well put together.

Reference to the world famous Thinking man sculpture from Auguste RODIN and to the quote " i think there fore I am" from the philosopher Rene DESCARTES.
I like it Bob because it is part of our culture here in France.
Maybe reference to John DEWEY and Jeff KOONS would have been best suited on here  :goldtooth: (well not sure for jeff KOONS  :laughing: )

Thinking can often lead you to feeling "dazed and confused".Any philosopher knows that.Especially the armchair type.

The shirt looks good.It would turn a few heads and leave some dazed and confused.Some will clearly get it.Keep them coming.

Laurent, thanks for helping clear things up. I watched a You Tube Cartoon depicting how Descartes may have came up with his famous line so I have a form of clarification. That’s some deep junk this ole swamp dweller could never fathom. Unless I got strung out on some dope. :laughing:

I applaud the effort.! This may be a touch too "cerebral", for something as primal as bowhunting..? Perhaps not.? "The thinker" appears bogged down with "paralysis through analysis"...instead of the "grip it and rip it" mindset..? All good....

Post by: blacktailbob on July 18, 2019, 10:43:55 AM
Oh well!
After some of the head scratching comments I'm sure there are old SE hill billies that think Jimmy is still president.

I do have an idea for the next one that will be more relative to this gang.

Very creative- hope you do well with them. Thanks for your generous St. Jude's support...
Title: Re: New shirt design
Post by: blacktailbob on July 18, 2019, 05:26:17 PM
So fat sold only one.
But will still give St. Judes a good donation anyway.
Nothing worse than being 65 and never had a major illness and seeing kids, young kids with terminal cancers.
Even if you don't buy a shirt donate to them anyway.

Got my Shirt and have to say the quality of the printing is great and super fast shipping. I'm taking mine to E.T.A.R with me to rep my favorite traditional site.

If any of you guy have been thinking about getting one do it, if not to rep Trad Gang than do it so Bob can donate to St. Judes.

Bob,

Figured I would post this here rather than start a new thread. I got the shirt you sent...and the bonus decals. Thank you! Sorry for the delay in posting this it’s been a long week.

When I told my wife ....someone I had never met was sending me a shirt for a comment I made on a post...she thought I was nuts or lying. The “brotherhood of the traditional archery” explanation got me a skeptical side eye look.

The shirt is very nice and the decals are on my truck.

Again. Thank you

I got mine and love it.  Agree it may be a tad more cerebral than many give bowhunters credit for.  Takes all sorts for the world to go around.  Not all bowhunters are Bubbas like I am.  Gonna get another in a different color.  Loved the decal too Bob!  Thanks.
