A crazy idea popped into my head today

[petrie141]

Since I'm not using my graphic design degree for a living, I've been tinkering around in the creative suite just for fun over the past few days. I ended up making a few designs that were wakesurfing related and I though they might look cool on shirts. What do y'all think, would anyone buy something like this? Since it's a nod to wakesurfing, I liked the name "Freshwater Surf Co.". This is just a start, I plan on making more as the ideas pop into my head.

Nope they all suck.. Just kidding. I like bottom left the best.

Don't quit your day job just yet....

Just kidding....

Not sure how big the market would be....so few people even know what 'freshwater surfing' is.

But hey...stranger ideas have hit it big.....more power to ya!

I'm still waiting for someone to do a "WTF Wally?" stick figure t-shirt.

Get a domain and sell em.

Wouldn't quit the day job. Just throwing it out there. It's not a million dollar idea, more of just something to do from time to time.

I like it! Image #2 for the front and Image #1 on the back.

Make a nice combo with this idea on the back, and the two surfboards one as an emblem on the front, put it on a quick dry shirt and I got $25 heading your way!

Sweet man. I like the second one the best, but Oregon is like the opposite of Texas........sooooooo I probably wouldn't be buying it. If I was from Texas I'd probably tell you it's the coolest shirt ever! But as is, I can't go around reppin' TX, ya know. I'd buy the last one though.

For me though, and just food for thought, it's all about the tee shirt. Those Hanes Beefy Tee style are my worst nightmare. I hate em. All stiff and bulky and rigid. Not a fan of the DryFit type material either. I like the really thin cotton shirts. Most of the surf vendors (Quiksilver, billabong, hurley, etc) are using these.... That's what I'd print 'em on. Especially being surf oriented.

But you've got some good stuff going there man.

I hear ya. The material I selected for the picture was a Gildan "soft jersey style". It's supposed to be a softer material shirt unlike the Haynes beefy t that gets worn down after one wash. But, I doubt I'll ever print one. If I did though, I'd do my best to do it right and get the good material.

I'd take a #2 without the writing and Malibu boats logo on the back. Too bad you can't just slap a trademark on anything.

[MalibuTX23]

I like them. If you get them going..I'd buy.

[Sixer]

If it was me, I'd display them on something other than a baby blue shirt. Otherwise I do like the logos!

[petrie141]

I've taken them down since I won't be making them. However... I have a sneaking suspicion that you'll see some in the same style for sale in the near future

I didn't get to see them but I'd definitely buy a few surf related shirts I liked. And material is important.
