How many designers does it take to create a t-shirt?

So this is when we start talking about how to improve the design? :) (Great
idea, btw.)

1) Personally, I only where logo-type shirts if the logo is in the center on
the front, like it is on the women's version. Upper-left logos are kinda out
of style. Haven't worn one of those since Corona shirts were all the rage (I
actually didn't wear one then either).

2) Why italics?

3) Why only white? Black is the designer color of choice, isn't it? Think
about your audience here. ;)

Have we done ethnographic research about the black type on white background?

We should probably do some ux design research.

We had a thread here, a long time ago, about designers' color of
choice. Maybe we can use it.

I think the final verdict was black.

Very nice - it looks great! Ironically, I didn't order the black one. I went
with brown. Turns out it's a good color for me. Thank you sir!
