Title: AMIT T-shirt
Post by: Silvertown on April 06, 2015, 09:32:21 AM
Have I been dreaming? Was there some years ago AMIT T-shirt designed?

A polo shirt with a nice AMIT logo would be great. I'm in!

I think that there are websites that often the chance to upload your design or order it, so if there is an amit thing we can use, maybe we can order individually.

When most of us met each other in the mknews forum, there was a Knopflerado t-shirt, i recall some of you with it during the All The Roadrunning and KTGC tour.

Perhaps the Alchemy arrows with AMIT across or through them would look nice.  :think

Or a variation of the rodeo shirt.  :think

I'm onboard for anything as long as there is an optional merit badge to show that you once were a member of TR mailing list  ;D

You can easily design it by yourself and order for example from the net.

I did the Alchemy T-shirt myself and took it to the local shop to have it printed on many many years ago. :)

Regards Alchemy arrows, I asked the curator of the gallery today if they signified anything in particular. The short answer was Bret was very much into the idea of 'tension' and opposing thoughts & philosophies. The guy had a lot more to say, but I couldn't soak it all in! The Alchemy artwork is truly amazing in real life and extremely 3D, there are things 'popping' out and behind everywhere. Worth a visit if you're in Sydney sometime.
Although they have a strict no photos policy, the guy was sympathetic to my holding the Love Over Gold single, and let me take one :)
On fb, on the MK fans page, if anyone's interested.

I like the idea! Many years ago I used the b&w guitar found and used as DS trademark on their first 3 albums for two jockey hats. A white and a black and inverted the B&W of the guitars accordingly. Here is a photo taken from Lis : https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=765658136802794&set=t.1408777127&type=3&theater

As for the t-shirt, I would like to have a guitar 3-D through the arrows, like in the BiA cover.

Just in case you're thinking of boasting about being a fan of "MK" on your shirt you might want to take a look at what you might be boasting about to people outside of our group:

I almost want to pay you to design one for me. I am no artist. My painting on my jean along the side did get some compliments. I will see if I have time to take a quick photo and post it.

This is my oríginal design for the tour, under the fair use.

I just wanted something different.

Yes, it's an impossible task really!

I think most of us know what each other look like from either Facebook or previous meetings and there is always someone wearing former merchandise, so recognising "the gang" isn't too difficult!

Zuska,  Please make sure you are not infringing copyright with this design, because as knopflerized has already said, an AMIT member, Gayle had terrible trouble a few years ago with PCM.  I wouldn't like anything like that to happen to anyone else!   The T-shirt does look great btw!   :)

superval,what kind of trouble did she have if I can ask? Like they wouldn´t let me to the concert or what?  :think Few years back I saw a guy,who had a t-shirt with a print of MK portrait. The picture on the t shirt was a design from a friend of mine from Deviant Art...I don´t see a problem with copyright if you mention the name of the author (signature,etc.),but it´s not always possible. The problem is when someone ´steals´your artwork and claims it for HIS own.It happened to me and I had a terrible discussion some time ago with a guy on facebook ,who stole my portrait of WIP (it wasn´t even finished) and added a description ´just adding some finishing touches´..then he even thanked to people,who posted comments on it..very annoying >:(

The problem was that PC thought she was selling them for profit. You can't use MK's name and sell items with his name for profit. She just made it possible, and ordered them for us. Someone else did the design.
