right now we have 2 colors on the front/back. the blue in the flag is also shared with the blue on the back. if we wanted to list the websites in red. (as long as it fits) we can list as many websites as we want..

You could maybe put "OpenCarry.org" in the center on the back above the doyle quote like a couple or few inches below the neck line. Then maybe put in that quote from the memo where he says something about casual open carrying is not a disorderly conduct charge...something like that, I can't find the exact quote right now but maybe put that as quoted by van hollen. Just a couple ideas

i was thinking that some of the other boards with users that don't frequent this one might not want a shirt with opencarry.org on it.. the design was made by someone who frequents ar15 boards so... i am thinking we just go with the flag on the front and the quotes on the back.. and the gun on the side..
anyone against that?

I hopefully don't think anyone will be, so let's make that the order.

Are you planning on leaving the gun at it's present location? I was just thinking that it doesn't matter to me at all to leave the shirt untucked. Seems like it would simplify the whole thing and the most important part is we are educating everyone who sees us wear it.

Put me down for two Larges and an XL at the moment. I may add to that, I have to think about who I could all give them too.

the gun is still near the bottom of the shirt.. we may move it up a little bit.. depending on how long the shirts are.. these are the fruit of the loom LOFtees so they are a litle longer than a normal t shirt and better for tucking..

so the gun will be a little higher than the picture but should hang waist level.

Are these shirts being silk-screened? or how are they being printed?

The reason I ask is because we get our logo'd company shirts done at a place in Rhinelander WI that does Direct ink printing instead of silk screening,
Multiple colors can be printed at no extra cost since screens do not need to be made for every color, they go through a large ink-jet printer. I have hadzero fade, cracking or peeling with their products over 3 years of working with them, and the prices are very fair.

the name of the company is "Shirts Signs and designs" put all those words together with a www on the frontand a .com on the end, and you have their website.

I am not affiliated with the business, I am just a very happy customer that likes to support Wisconsin based business's.

OCDO has a shirt and hat store from which you can order items: http://www.cafepress.com/opencarry

It's not the greatest, but it what we have - I like the polo shirts myself - white background makes a dark gun stand out and the OCDO logo looks official and nice for press interviews WITHOUT making you look like you are impersonating a police officer.
