 Ok, who is interested? Len Philpot and I kicked around a few suggestions and what you see pictured is what we believe will work. Basically the logo removes the horse from the star and adds 40th at the top just to the right of the half star and 2022 at the bottom and to the right of the star. Sort of a collector's item. Len also feels that a light colored polo shirt is appropriate and also one that is 100% cotton due to our heat and high humidity. I am not going to get a bunch of them printed up on speculation. We may not be able to do this at all if we just get orders for a few, so if any of you want to commit to one or more, please let me know that and what size (small, medium, large, x large and xx large, maybe xxx large). I imagine that like everything else, prices have gone up, but I think the cost will be no more than $20 each, assuming they can just tweak our current screen slightly I am down for two large shirts.

Barry, it's probably just my erstwhile graphic designer self talking here, but...  As I recall the DSSG logo on the last (dark grey) golf shirts was larger than usual and printed (positioned) toward the center of the front, near the button strip / placket -- Not really on the left chest area as typical for golf shirts. Will that be true for subsequent shirts? Also, would these have embroidered logos or just printed? FWIW, I prefer embroidered and would be willing to pay a little more for that, but others may feel differently.

Please note that's entirely my preference / opinion - You may differ. I just happen to prefer 100% cotton ...and honestly I'm too light and pasty to wear dark clothes!  |

More info on 40th Annual Deep South Star Gaze shirts -
A new screen would have to be set up with the amended logo image. If screen printed, the shirts would cost $20, plus tax each, if the 2X size it would be $22 plus tax each. If we were to go with an embroidered patch, the cost would be $36 plus tax each and if a 2x shirt the cost goes to $38 plus tax. I have also been informed that with the size of the patch the embroidery would look crowded and multiple washings would quickly degrade the work. So, in a nutshell the embroidered patch idea is out.
I have the following who say they want shirts (white - 100% cotton)
Barry Simon - 2 large shirts
Brian Shirkey - 1 large shirt
Greg Thompson - 2 extra large shirts
Len Philpot - 1 double extra large shirt
Ed Rebennack - 1 double extra large shirt
Terry Hall - 1 double extra large, 1 medium and 1 small
Joe Morris - 1 large shirt
Steve @ GF - 1 double extra large shirt
Steve Harrison - 1 large shirt
Ken Gaddy 1 triple extra large shirt
Now is the time for others to let me know what they intend to purchase. I will likely order 2 more large, 2 more extra large and 1 more double extra large if I hear from no one else. Order can be modified based upon what I hear. Quantity may go up with larger orders.

I think I'll pass on the shirt.
I'd be more interested in a mug. I'd use it every day. The shirt? ... I'd wear it about once a year.

I'd certainly be willing to buy a few of them if one is available. I usually get them when I go to star parties and give one to my mom too. I'm in for two large and one medium sized t-shirt.
