Sneak Preview - The DDK Le Mans Classic 2014 Tee Shirt

Post by Bootsy »

Still work in progress but thought I'd see what the masses think....

We've aimed for a 1970s inspired design. Pulling together the influence of Pop Culture, Andy Warhol, Avant Garde and an essence of French’ness too!

Thinking about printing it on a light grey / grey marl tee shirt. Still some bits to tighten up but interested in what you all think

Image

And as we are all buff, toned young gents this is what it should look like on

Image

The designer thinks it would really suit a poster also which I'm inclined to agree with so we may look to produce some of these too.

Image

I know the polo shirts were popular when we did the 10th anniversary run so we may produce a different design for a polo but not sure yet.

Image

Anyway, details of how to order, sizing guides etc. will be posted when the design is finalised but in the meantime I thought I'd give you a preview and see what you think.

Like it a lot - would also be up for a polo (as you were, cubist - that's not a euphemism)

Presuming polo has the cool graphic on the back?

Just mulling over the polo, not sure if the large graphic will look right on the back or not but we are working on it as I know how popular polos are with our sophisticated members

We will only go for one colour otherwise it ups the printing costs and logistics

I'm keen to go for something different to black having gone for black with the 10th anniversary tee

BLACK BLACK BLACK!

Colours will stand out better and the black bit in the middle of pic will blend in so looks like car is moving across T rather than a big square block print.

The 10 year ones worked well because they were black and cool design stood out.

Not keen on grey, have a few and they always look a bit naff and dorky.

Just my 2peneth.

Given the ripped physique the majority of DDKer's display I'm thinking tight fit

I would prefer grey polo with small logo / print.

Hi Bootsy

Thinking grey would look good on all our tanned skins (hoping for another good summer). Polo shirt preferably with built in tummy support as we have gained a pound or 10 over the winter hibernation period...design looks fab you sure have good taste Bootsy.

Poster version would just set off my back room.

Well done
