So all I was asking is 1) there is no reason a design cannot be put on a pocket (had it done with almost every shirt I have) and 2) once the shirt is completed, I would just like to see the final design to decide if I want to buy one or not. I don't think either one of those is "a lot of trouble" and in fact has always been standard operating procedure for every company I've worked with. So on to the company....I know this Hooked Fishing Inc. dude made MS and MO's shirts, but it looks like all he makes are jersey type shirts. So I was also asking if these are jerseys or normal cotton tees? Also, I would be in favor of supporting local companies (in Alabama), but I have already been enough trouble, so I will refrain from suggesting something so absurd.

I apologize if I seem like I'm being difficult, but this is something I have experience with and before I sign up for something I would like to at least know what it is exactly I'm ordering and what it looks like...........I believe I'm entitled to that much.......off the soap box, just my $0.02

Great then your going take the lead here. Should be no problem for you to design and display the shirt. I'm looking forward to seeing your display.
Thanks for all the help.

Maybe I am still not clear, let me try one more time......THE COMPANY DOES THAT FOR YOU! You just approve or disapprove the design. So we have a design, or at least what I considered to be a general consensus, with the AL crappie.com logo on front pocket and crappie with crossed rods on the back. But the company I guess we are using said that's not possible. So all I was asking is, where are we in the design and why can't they do that since the 1,000+ other companies can do it. I sincerely apologize as I have clearly upset you, for simply asking questions (that are valid). I hope you will accept my apologies and have no hard feelings. I guess this is something I should have stayed out of from the beginning.

No you have not upset me at all. I just think since your in the business, it would be no problem for you to just whip up a couple samples for us. Then we all can see!

I never said I am in the business, I said I have been in charge of numerous shirt designs/orders. This was in college as the social chair of my fraternity. Prob ~10 shirts/year minimum. My problem in the first place wasn't meant to offend you nor was it directed at you. It was at this company that apparently can't do a simple logo on a pocket. Not sure why you took offense to that, but then trying to very simply illustrate that once you get a company to do the design, it's very easy to send out and view and not A LOT of trouble as you originally thought. When I designed a shirt with a company they send you an image file to review. So that could be posted on here so everyone could see what they are getting. That's the point I have been trying to make. I'm not sitting around barking orders for you to do it, nor am I saying I am the utmost authority. I am saying the company should do that! What we have here, is a failure to communicate...........

I will try to answer some questions here without ruffling feathers. We are fellow Crappie.com members, not just a "dude" or another company. We manufacture DYE SUBLIMATED jerseys, NOT screen printed shirts. Our material is 100% polyester, moisture wicking, UV resistant, breathable material. No cotton material involved at all. All jerseys start off as white RAW MATERIAL and is custom printed, then cut, then sewn to size. We DO NOT just take a white shirt and stamp it like the 1000+ other companies do. It is a very specialized process and after shirt is complete, the images on the shirt will not crack, fade or peel like screen printing. You can literally wear and wash the jersey until you get a hole in it from use. My simple suggestion was to move logo on front to right chest, so we can sew in the pocket for those guys who want them. We will provide an image of the jersey for everyone to see before we print. I believe the MO and MS guys are very pleased and i hope we can get this rollin.

Well that's all I wanted was a simple answer. That's why I asked if they were cotton tees or jerseys so I would know why you couldn't do the logo on the pocket. I personally would rather have cotton tees, so I will be abstaining. Hope everyone understands the simple questions I posed were not meant to offend anyone, but were for my own clarification. If I did offend anyone, I sincerely apologize.

I say we just let lhumphre provide a image and design of shirt for us and take it from there? If he makes them he will know what will work best on shirt! I say we just get the ball rolling and get them done......there is no way your going to make a shirt that everyone will agree on and that goes for myself also. I just want one where when others are fishing around me they will think I know what I am doing? Lol

It's really none of my business because I don't have a dog in this fight but these shirts are much better quality than a cotton tee. They are light weight and very comfortable. Everyone on the Mississippi board who ordered one commented on the quality of the shirts and loves them. Most said they wish they'd ordered more once they got theirs and saw the quality. Good luck guys.

I agree 100%, I'm not in the shirt business and have no idea how it works. I just know I want a good lookin, quality shirt that I can wear with pride and he sounds like he can do that.

No doubt the jersey shirts are better quality. I never doubted that, I was just trying to get an answer if they were jersey or cotton. The problem is, it's hard to put emotions into words and even harder to read emotions from words. So I think there has been a lot of mis-interpretation on my part as well as others. I just hope everyone gets what they want and enjoys them.
