nice work bonjoy! looks sweet, and for me the best yet! (though I liked the spotter one too!)

though maybe.. take the ukb off the image, (maybe put it on the sleeve?), ever so slightly reposition the tagline (which is awesome by the way) and change the typeface..

then I'd buy it for sure.. which is high praise!! 

sorry if this sounds a bit picky, but I'm a design slut / junky!

If that's Dense on the right, who are the other two?

It's about Dense's obsession for a certain shit problem at Stanage

Does the fact that the joke needs explaining to several members of UKB not suggest that this design is uber-cliquey?

Yer damn right
Who want's a t-shirt with something obvious on it?

I'd rather have a t-shirt with "lick my ape" or "sun roast face-clam", rather than "I like talking about bouldering". But that's just me.

Hmmmmm.....

OK, I see your point, and agree with it.

But.....

It's just a joke for the "we know dense has a small head and likes Dannys" brigade on this site. Very much non-inclusive (a criticism that has been leveled at other designs).

If it really was an obscure or meaningless statement then fine. We could all agree on it and be in on the joke. As it is it's a private joke amongst a small, but powerfull, group on this forum.

My suggestion?

A photo of Konnie Huq with a fishes head. The tagline could be "Ham shoes on the NHS".

And to be fair "Anyone For Dannys?" is hardly the Da Vinci Code of obscure climbing references is it?

P.S. I'm not being critical of the design itself, or even the idea. I'll probably buy the t-shirt whatever the final design picked is, as it is about supporting the site rather than looking cool (something I am woefully poor at anyway..). Just pointing out the non-inclusive nature of the design amongst our own readership, nevermind the wider audience.

Nik, I think you need new jeans before you buy any more T-shirts.

A transcript of Dense's problem on Nigel's board gets my vote. Nigel, do you happen to have that to hand? It amused me for weeks.

Yeah, I basically can't see myself wearing any t-shirt with a non-central design.

Nik, the t-shirt is a ref to probably Bonjoy's all time no.2 animated gif. (no.1 being Si O' obviously), not just something we joke about in the pub.
