  MEET T-SHIRT TIME
 
As it's exactly 2 weeks to the Milky Meet this doesn't allow enough time to collate T-shirt orders, print and post them without using the company's expedited shipping which is prohibitively expensive. So this year the meet T-shirts are D.I.Y. 
 
Yes folks, if you want a meet T-shirt you'll have to do it yourself! But don't panic as it's easy-peasy. I used www.spreadshirt.co.uk/ to upload Dillan's illustration - attached below - and produced this...
 

...which is the Men's Premium T-shirt. There are 17 garment colours to choose from and the sizes range from small to 5XL. Basically you click on `Create' then `Design T-shirts now' then `Choose a product' then `Upload an image' and use the resizing arrow(s) to enlarge the illustration and position it. Pick the quantity, add to basket and checkout for £18.98 shipped. 
 
  

Awesome, Andy and Dillan! I just tried to make this transparent, but spreadshirt doesn't do transparent. It would have been cool. The blacks would have been replaced with whatever color shirt you selected, but alas spreadshirt interprets transparent as white. Frickin' idiotic for a graphics business to not be able to work with transparency. Amateurs! Apparently the idiot amateur was me, I spent half an hour trying to magically make things transparent only to find out that, of course, Dillan already had a PNG file with it built in--I almost asked, but didn't want to be a bother. I don't know what happened with mine, but I did save a PNG, so I don't know why it presented me with a white background. Weird.

There are many other T-shirt printing companies to try Micah, I just mentioned spreadshirt as the garment/print quality is good and the price not too expensive.

It is a bit hit and miss with these companies anyway, as an earlier test garment was sourced from www.tshirtprint.co.uk and the mock-up looked like the T-shirt in post#445 (except on grey marl not black) and yet this is what I received - which was more expensive and the T-shirt fabric is a bit thin.

Hi Guys,
 
If your wanting a black T-Shirt please upload this image to spreadshirt instead 
 
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BzSGxSZZviNOaVo0bEtpVEZFd1k  (just click the link then the download icon at the top)
 
 
The file is a transparent PNG file so would hold its transparent properties (so it wouldn't print the black just the white)  Feel free to change to whatever colour t-shirt you like.
 
 
See my test example with a black t-shirt

There are only three points separating #1 and #4 by the extroverted vote. What will the Secret Squirrels say?

Am I reading this right that you are not giving  a #3. That's funny, Dillan.
 
Thanks for the great work on the shirt!
 
A lead has emerged! But will it hold? One album seems to be love or hate, one album is nobody's favourite but everyone likes it. Which album will be declared the winner? The secret squirrels will announce their votes soon by proxy!

Soon thereafter another even more fabulous competition prize will be announced.
