Our boy Dirty Dog has narrowed the shirt designs down to these two:

He wanted to see artwork switched around, suggested introducing navy blue or gray and instead of the logo, just using the monkey head.

As a protector of brands, I feel the green/black/gray should not be deviated from and the full logo should always be there and the head used only as a secondary graphic. I think the evolution shirt is spot on, so I left it alone.

He respects what the monkeys want to adorn their bodies with, so suggestions are welcomed.

Oh yea, I'll redraw the wheel in the icons design to better reflect a MTB wheel and not a road wheel.

 

[4xBoy]

I will get one, both are cool.

Make it a disc rotor.

 

[jimmydean]

I would order both as long as they are not light colored shirts. I like the dark colors, awesome work Stinky.

 

[stinkyboy]

Make it a disc rotor.

I thought about that too. It should be easily identifiable as: computer + biking = ridemonkey.

Actually that might be good as a rider will recognize a wavy or gothic rotor design.

Anyone else?


Edit: It should prolly be biking + computer = ridemonkey.

 

[stinkyboy]

I still wanna see this fugger too.

 

[DirtyDog]

I prefer the artwork on the back so I don't feel like a walking billboard.

I'd prefer to stick with single color graphics so that money can be spent on excellent quality shirts without raising the cost to the consumer Monkey.

Of course, these are just suggestions and you are encouraged to fling poo at me

 

[AngryMetalsmith]

How'bout we incorporate this awesome logo for the most bad ass shirt in the entire whole universe the mostest.

Gotta go two. One sided print would save $.

 

[H8R]

Who is printing these, might I ask?

 

[stinkyboy]

I suggest our resident Peter Criss print this action.

 

[H8R]

Timeline?

I'm moving my shop, but I should be back up and running soon. (and I'm finally bike commute distance to it...)

 

[binary visions]

I like #1 and #3 (with the big logo). #2 doesn't do much for me.

Much prefer it with the two sided print as well... I really dig the simplicity of the evolution characters and the small logo on the back. I don't know what the cost difference is, though.

 

[johnbryanpeters]

#1: Excellent.
#2: Yawn.
#3: For the drama queen.

 

[Quo Fan]

I'm partial to #1.

 

[BadDNA]

Evolution, single or double sided. I'd buy it.

 

[I Are Baboon]

I like double sided #1 best. I can't make out what that 3rd icon is in #2. Is it some sort of monkey?

 

[douglas]

my vote=

edit: no care if ridemonkey is on front, back, or sleeve

 

[laura]

Evolution hands down. Although I like it better w/o the ridemonkey logo on the front.

 

[TN]

What he said.

 

[DamienC]

Now that's what I call intelligent design. I dig it!

 

[daisycutter]

I like #1 the best by far.

 

[jacksonpt]

Love the evolution design. Not so crazy about the black shirt. I get the whole RM color thing, but black is just too damn hot in the summer.

Evolution design ftw.

Silver, black or olive shirts. American Apparel? FOTL?


Lemme pull a quote together tonight, I'll send some PM's.

 

[binary visions]

Actually, I think the evolution design would look pretty sweet with the Ridemonkey logo small and on the edge of the sleeve.

 

[jacksonpt]

Silver, black or olive shirts. American Apparel? FOTL?

Silver, most definitely (assuming you mean a light gray, not actually silver)
Black, would probably still buy one, but like I said...
Olive, not sure, could be cool assuming olive and not lime green

Personally, I don't care about brand, sizing/cut and material weight is never the same anyway...

 

[BurlyShirley]

Can we just go with a regular, round neck hole? That polygon thing really isn't my style.

 

[pigboy]

shirt #1. while I understand the desire to keep the RM brand coherent via the color of the shirt I would love to get that in silver/grey instead of black. Hawaii has hotness all year long.

maybe RM needs 2 or 3 "official" color schemes? Blk/green, Silver/grn, Pink/Grn (for the mudhunnies)

I'm hot gluing chards of glass to each shirt as an added bonus.

You get no pity from me.

lolol

I vote for the evolution print with the RM on the back. I'd pay extra for it! Where do I sign up mang.

 

[pedalkicker]

I'll take #1 and #3 please.

 

[hooples3]

Im liking 1 as well... I like #3 a lot but feel like it would look better on a jersey

 

[mandown]

love the evolution one, but it does look like a ripoff of the CoRE logo (a hook suspension group I belong to)

i'd still rock it.

Which of course is a ripoff of a hundred other works using the same concept. Don't upset the artist now.....

 

[mandown]

^^^ yeah, i'm sure it is.

no worries, it is the nature of artists to be upset, that is why they create.

Idiot !

 

[mandown]

Idiot !

Asshat!

...wait, why are we fighting?

 

[AngryMetalsmith]

Your concept of artistic impetus is narrow at best.

 

[mandown]

Your concept of artistic impetus is narrow at best.

your interpretation of the seriousness and depth of postings on the intraweb appears uptight at best.

...paging dr. giggles, sombody has a broken funnybone.


and now back to the issue at hand - when do we get our muddy paws on the evolution shirt? i'll pay the extra cost for the two sided printing; my demand for this product makes my wallet flexible on this issue.
