Originally posted by Davo: I didn't intend to come off as a whiny [censored]. In fact, I said I am hesitant to criticize and that I appreciate the work all have done. That being said, the point I was trying to make is that CEG is better than the shirts show. There is a wealth of talent and resources available in this community. My complaint is that that was not taken to full advantage. If you wanted to work on your racing team instead of make t-shirts, then you shouldn't have taken on the responsibility. I know you're not making excuses, blah blah blah, but that's what it sounds like to me.
So, what exactly about them do you not like? Is it the artwork? Is it the quality of the shirt? the quality of the screen printing? If it is the artwork, its all subjective, you can talk to Worldtour about that.
Personally, I liked both versions of the artwork but the one we used just worked 1000X better for screen printing. While I don't think the visual aspect of what we used is perfect for screen printing, Mikey's art would have just looked like a big pile of mud when screen printed, which is unfortunate.
In regards to taking full advantage of CEG resources, I tried to do that this time, I really did. This is the THIRD year in a row I have done the Spring Zing shirts, and the first two times, I didn't try to make a committee to do it, I just got them done and had no issues at all. When I tried to "take advantage of the community" I ended up with some very good looking art that was effectively useless for the purpose of screen printing t-shirts.
Missing the deadline for SZ had nothing to do with racing, but delays after it did.
