Would you buy this? (Poll)

Based on some comments about a sort of understated design, I put these together.  I'm not sure if I like it better with or without the Celtic Circle. I'm still trying to get a higher res image.

We would be able to put either on a t-shirt or polo, with or without pocket.  Lighter colors would have black image instead of white.

So, vote early, vote often (j/k, vote just once).

Embroidery thing is still iffy.  To do the denim shirt with embroidery (that I pictured previously), would cost about $50.

I like that and would buy it in white w/black lettering.

Nothing on the back.

Absolutely with a pocket.

Nice simple classy design. :cooldude: :cooldude:

I have mixed feelings on the designs. I think the circle catches the attention more readily but both are good. A lot of folks may not know the circle is a celtic thing so guess it depends on if one thinks that makes it more cluttered. I'm good with either, however I don't think celtic goes with the Viking design but that's just me.  ;)

Interesting.  I thought Vikings had some Celtic lineage/relationship, but not so.  I bow to your superior knowledge.  ;) :P

C'mon Ron, it has a pocket!!  

As I said in the post, I'm still working on the embroidery thing.  A screen print would be less expensive.

I'm not big on embroidered tee shirts and I'm not big on pocketed tee shirts but I like the design.

You don't have to get the pocket.  We can probably even order it in the mock turtle-neck that you like.

T short or polo shirt, with pocket. DOn't care about with circle or not. Maybe one of each in same shirt style.

It might also be cool to have white shirts with black graphic.

Light colors will have black graphic.

I voted no circle but I'd buy whichever is available. "Less is more", front print only is a  :cooldude:
The mock turtle neck is a  :cooldude: as well.
Curious, is a performance T or polo a possibility?
Started wearing them a couple Summers ago. I now prefer to wear nothing else. So light and cool. All the years of wearing cotton and getting wet and taking forever to dry.
Better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it!

I like it. The pocket and sleeves are easy to remove. Then it's perfect  :cooldude:

Henley with a pocket!  Oh and a Valkyrie logo as well.

I'll take 2, please.

Connie,
I'd probably buy a Tee Shirt with the design printed (with pocket).   
I said early on that I doubted many would want the polo shirt with pocket and embroidered designed logo and was surprised at the number of folks that seemed to agree with what I liked.   But, having said that, if the minions don't say what they like, then the suppliers won't ever know and produce what the "little folks" want.   

I also understand that some folks prefer a printed Tee, some with pocket, some without.   It is, what it is.  We can't all be right (or wrong).  ;)

I won't continue to harp on this but, if asked I will give my opinion (unless you specifically tell me you don't want it).   IMHO, it's kind of like Christmas, if Santa doesn't know what you want, the chances of getting it are remote.

Long Sleeve Henley?  Short sleeve Henleys are kind of hard to find.

I'm in the minority here but, I would be interested in either 1) a black t-shirt - no pocket - with a large logo on the back or, 2) a colored t-shirt same way (no pocket, large logo on back), or with small logo on the front.

A "slim" or "fitted" shirt would probably not work for me though!

You just described virtually all of our past and present shirts.  I don't think you're in the minority.  The posts here probably reflect those wanting something a bit different.  Most people here know that we'll have more that reflect what you described.  

We have a few in the store now, but limited sizes/colors.  We'll be ordering more soon.  None of the shirts have a pocket.  All, except the Joe Boyd, have large back imprint and small left chest imprint.

I understand the penchant for T pockets. 

But nothing will stay in a T pocket at speed on a motorcycle.

And I and many are not ATGATT. 

If it's hot, I'm only wearing a Tshirt (and probably some pants).

Well Carl, you get one made up and model it on here...... and I'll laugh.   ;)

I lost a lot of things out of Tshirt pockets while riding was my only point.

LOL!  I won't need such a shirt as I almost always wear pants when I ride.   ;)

I also have no interest in a pocket on a riding tee shirt.   :)

Ya know, you don't have to use that pocket.   :evil:

That's the thing.  If one's there, then you stick stuff in it.  Then later, the stuff is gone. 

But you're right Ron, and fair is fair.

If enough folks want pockets, they should get them. 

I always thought those small fanny packs were a great design to carry stuff to be ready at hand, and not have your pants pockets bulging and poking you.  But the dang things are too much like man purses.

And if you carry a piece in one, that's just what everyone thinks is in it too.

It's a nice looking plain shirt. I would.

Your poll should include a 4th option of; "Either design is fine"

I added that choice.  You (or anyone) can change their vote; just delete the original vote and re-vote.

I'll put up a pre-order as soon as I get prices from the printer.  I can guess what it will probably be for t-shirts, but I have no idea on polo or henley.  The purpose of the pre-order is so people can order exactly what they want (style, size, color), instead of me trying to guess.

As to a question for those requesting pockets. Besides a pack of smokes, what do you use the pocket for ?

I liked both, so that's why I mentioned being able to say that but I didn't consider you may have wanted an either or.

f6gal

Enough people voted in the affirmative to meet the minimum order requirement.  I'm going to put up a pre-order with 4 color choices with and without pocket.  The polo will depend on how many are ordered. I'll put it up, put if we don't get enough ordered, I'll have to offer you a refund or change to t-shirt.

So, what color(s) would you order?
