Like I said in the other thread - I really like. Granted, it is rather gross, but I think its super badass too!! Plus, I feel there are two types of shred shirts:

1 - the kind you wear solely to shred sessions (Kolo shirts come to mind - I hate having to explain to people who Kolo is etc etc)
2 - the kind you would wear outside of footbag (Those sick Hackrifice shirts come to mind)

I feel that even if you thought it was too gross, it could always fit into the 1st category and all the other baggers would get it.

I REALLY dig the back. The jar with the toes

You're my hero, Mike.
I'm not a fan of the front though. I don't like how the legs are just cut off, like without a border or anything, and I don't like the font for "t.o.jam" -- it kind of makes it look... cheap? (Like its too colloquial a font?) The back looks super though.

Also, the excessive blood on the front would make me think twice about wearing it regularly, like it was said. But still the back is fine to me as far as blood. Trying to combine footbag and zombies, Mike?

Maybe if, like, the feet were in a circle border centred on the front of the shirt and the font was changed? It might also be cool to throw in the FAT logo somehow, since it is so awesome. But that might be too much clutter... Or like maybe the FAT logo teeny on the breast, and then the big fat jar of toes on the back?

Sick!

BuckRuckus · Post by **BuckRuckus** » 28 Apr 2008 19:16

Thanks for the speed responses so far, everybody.

Erik, thanks for the crit. I tried the front design in a circular border and it looks good. Not sure what looks better, will have to think about it. The cut-off legs don't bother me. Try to imagine the image on a shirt. I just cropped in tight so people can see the drawing. The legs might look weird to you because they stop right before the crop. The font might change. I think it might be too big relative to the art. As for the blood, if I go with this design, I'm not making it pg! R-rated makes things good. Thats why Robocop rules! Robocop 2 is pretty good (less violence) and Robocop 3 sucks balls. Wait, what were we talking about?

You have 30 seconds to comply.

Badass shirt design

Yeah I'm down with the shirts. They look sick!
can't wait to come shred with you Toronto.

Love the designs! The only things I would change are: the font on the front and back that says t.o. jam (on the back maybe make it look more handwritten and less uniform?), and the weird assed lacing (not like it really matters)

BuckRuckus · Post by **BuckRuckus** » 29 Apr 2008 12:08

Ha ha. The shoes in the image are mine. I laced them up like my G units 'cause I forgot how to lace lavers.

Camilleon · Post by **Camilleon** » 30 Apr 2008 08:32

Yeah the shirts look good, I guess it was the girl in me telling me that they were too gross. But whatever, they ARE badass. I think it's wicked that the front image looks as if someone was shredded to a bloody death.

I agree that the to jam fonts really should change. And I agree with everything Erik said. It would look good in a circle border, it would give it better context... and I definitely think that the fat logo should be somewhere too- (Glad you like it so much, Erik!

)- on the breast is ok, but how about on the sleeve? Or even just on the jar label on the back, kinda like the brand of jam.

As for the colour... I wasn't sure about the green, but now that I know that Tom hates it, I think it's the best thing ever.

Seriously though, it looks good- I did worry about there being too many green shirts, with ours and the awesome hackrifice ones, but it's a different green and it works. How about army green? That would look really good with the red too, and I can't think of any other army green footbag shirts at the moment.

Anyway, good job Mike- I'm happy our "toe jam" idea works and people like it.

So as for weed march, the forecast is calling for rain all weekend...

We don't have a backup indoor spot to shred that day, and the jam is only 2 weeks later, so I would recommend that people just come for the jam. There isn't much a point in coming to town to shred if it rains. I mean, I think people should come for weed march if you are coming FOR weed march, not footbag. It won't be ideal. Plus, the more people that come to shred, thew worse it is, honestly, because there simply isn't enough room. Last year I learned that the shredding conditions there truly were disgusting and people were so rude, the way they swarmed us and walked through the circles. I think that most people at weed march, at this point, know who we are and what we do, and they don't particularly like us. Of course, some of us should play and I am definitely using it as an opportunity to hand out flyers for the jam, but this day is about weed march for me, not footbag. It's the 10th annual march. Gonna be CRRRRRAAAZZZYYYY.

Don't get me wrong, I love weed march (it's my Christmas), and if you want to come, by all means come. I just don't want anyone to be disappointed after missioning it all the way here, especially since the jam is so soon after. Save your money. Spend it on beer and weed for the jam.

BuckRuckus · Post by **BuckRuckus** » 30 Apr 2008 10:53

If people do come to weed march and the weather sucks, I'm up for moving to Ryerson to play indoors, or to my place to just hang out and play video games...

But yeah, if you are on the fence about coming, save your money and come to T.O.JAM instead!

Camilleon · Post by **Camilleon** » 30 Apr 2008 11:29

The thing is I'm not positive that we will get away with playing at Ryerson, especially on a summer Saturday when the school is closed. We might get in but we might get kicked out. It's just not safe enough to let people rely on it.

Video games at your place sounds fun though.

BuckRuckus · Post by **BuckRuckus** » 30 Apr 2008 14:18

Cool.

Who wants to play on Thursday? 4ish?

Muffinman · Post by **Muffinman** » 30 Apr 2008 15:36

Can you not play at Bahen anymore?
Maybe you can convince Paul Agosinelli to go, and shred at his awesome rooftop tennis courts!

BuckRuckus · Post by **BuckRuckus** » 02 May 2008 12:45

Yeah, we got kicked out of Bahen pretty harshly. It's still reasonably safe but if the same evil cleaning lady catches us and gets us kicked out again, I may lose my cool and do something I'll regret. Argh! Than woman is infuriating!

I'll be at weed march around 1pm. Will look for people near the statue. My cell is 647 880 0848 incase anyone gets lost.

SnowBlindSloth · Post by **SnowBlindSloth** » 04 May 2008 13:12

Yoo, I'm back!!! From New York!! Hehe - Who wants to play this week? I might be super swamped with work and stuff, but I'll try and make it out...

BuckRuckus · Post by **BuckRuckus** » 04 May 2008 14:24

I want to play lots before TOJam. Can play any day but Monday. Let me know. I need to drill more than circle-shred, but would still like company.

SnowBlindSloth · Post by **SnowBlindSloth** » 04 May 2008 17:10

I can't play a lot for this month...sooo much work, both school and other.

But, I'll have Thursday open every week.

Johnny · Post by **Johnny** » 06 May 2008 12:46

So are you guys going to come to TO Jam?!
