More than five years in the making... A cast of thousands... James Cameron was our tea-boy... And it's time to get this done. SnakePit T-shirts. I got an offer to defray the costs from the good people over at ooshirts.com, so that's helping to keep the costs down, yet still get us top of the line quality, e.g. screenprinted, four color, etc.

Various things need to be done beforehand. First, we need a design. I know there are some folk out there with mad skillz in the area, so submissions are welcome. I have vague thoughts of something using the logo on the front (or a somewhat modified version), and on the back, a baseball jersey-styled AZ SNAKEPIT and a number. But what number? What color shirts? White? Red? The former would be slightly cheaper, but I can be convinced to go color.

I'd also like some idea of interest - quantities and sizes - so I can gauge how many to get and what sizes in the order. While the volume will affect the final price, I'm estimating the cost around $10-12 per shirt, with maybe an extra buck for sizes above XL and another dollar if you need the shirt shipped to you.

For those who want to get their design on, a high-res version of the SnakePit logo is here on which you can work. Designer of the selected format will get a free shirt, I'd reckon. See after the jump for a first draft of what we might be looking at...

If people want to try their hand at designing stuff, here's the tool I used on their site.
