RE: iSeries t-shirt

I wear my eXtreme T while mowing the lawn or painting.

As I'm sure the case is for many people, I cannot wear T-shirts at work.
So for me to promote iSeries at the office as well as at the mall, a
polo would be a much better choice and would be worth a few $ more.

I also like the idea of a midrange.com shirt.  One simple idea: A black
polo with the midrange.com logo with "The source for iSeries
information" (paraphrasing the home page) underneath.

Subject: iSeries t-shirt 


I would like to propose a brief "contest" to design an
iSeries related t-shirt. I have asked David if ok to do this
on midrange-l and he ok'd as long as not a for profit venture.

I've previously created 2 different shirts for different Common's. 
Was mad at IBM's wimpy eXtreme campaign.
Some were given to IBM execs and others sold to recover the 
cost of shirts & printing. Am planning on Common in Orlando
and thought it would be fun to open up the design to all. 
This will be a one time printing, and most likely mailed. 
I do get quality shirts, and if you propose a 
design, also select if prefer polo shirt or tshirt.

Previous shirts were only runs of 20, so I'm a little nervous about
opening this up.  
see http://www.400webserver.com/web/shirts.htm for previous designs.
Design or text can be business-like or not, funny, eXtreme, whatever.
Could be a midrange.com shirt? I do not intend to get ibm's permission
so don't include an official logo (unless you can arrange permission)

I think we should keep this to just a few days, say no more than Tue-Aug
5.

Send images and questions direct to me. If you think it's a stupid idea
then tell me that also. I don't want to do anything to violate Common
rules, ... just wear the shirts (or hats? Please do not send me or the
list an order for a shirt till this is final. jim franz
