I have a new page dedicated to TaylorStock. Please watch this forum and this website for updates:

http://www.taylorguitarforum.com/taylorstock/

This will contain the latest information about the event.

Latest update: Two T-shirts will be provided to each person registered, at the event. The design is still being decided but there will be two different color shirts, and you'll get one of each. Therefore, you can wear your "colors" on both days of the event! :)

Also, if you register and pay your registration fee... then find out you can't make it, your T-shirts can be mailed to you after the event (for the cost of shipping). (Please don't use the registration process as a way to simply get T-shirts if you know you're not coming to the event. If you want shirts that bad, just e-mail me. :) )

OK J.R. can I be an annoying person and ask what colors the shirts might possibly be?
Those of us who look dead in "oatmeal beige" want to know :D

No PINK! Just rip the arms off, tear a few holes in them and throw them in the trunk of your car for a week or so. (It's a guy thing)

PINK! :eek: Barf! I was thinking of something like a deep cranberry or black or navy...surely those could be considered manly enough :D

Yes! We need to decide on a design and then see what colors it would look best on.

I like the prairie dust and slate blue, personally.

I'm partial to black, but the colors J.R. mentioned work well too.

[Lisa]

Yes!
Prairie Dust or Slate Blue would be great! Muuuch better than the "oatmeal" color. I like any of the pictured colors you pasted in. They are nice!
Maybe we should do a poll for the two most popular colors?

Black fades...

But I really dont care...just no periwinkle, aquamarine, or lavendar. :D

[J.R. Rogers]

How about something simple like....

We could have some sort of TaylorStock reference on the back. Comments?

Hmmm- simplicity I can definitely dig...one thing I would say for my personal tastes is that I would prefer that the event command the most attention on the shirt rather than the forum.

I tossed around a few ideas, one of which had on the back, whatever design ends up being decided upon, outlined in a shape of a Taylor pickguard...however, since I am neither artistic or skilled in computer graphics, I really cant put into words what would take a picture to describe.

Imagine a tour shirt for a band that has a list of the dates on the back. There is always a subtle design, border, or background to spice it up a little...I thouhgt we could use the pickguard shape as something easy, that would only take a black line, to outline subtly whatever goes on the back (or sit in the background of...)...whether it is text or a picture. Sorta like the idea of writing "I LOVE YOU" across a semi background of a heart...the heart kinda outlines the text and kinda serves as a background...get my drift?

Pickguard shape, headstock shape...both are interchangeable I guess.

I like the teal one...3rd from the left, but I'm not picky. Anything but white. Black isn't a favorite, but it wouldn't show the food I'll spill on it.

That's what happens when you get old...you start spilling things.

How bout getting a silhouette of the guy on the front of the catalog...the cowboy hat dude on the beach. I LOVE that picture so much. Maybe as a left front breast image, it would only take one dark color. That picture is the wallpaper for my PC- its such a great shot.

If not, I vote for the koa series peghead inlay alone for the front breast.

J.R.-
I like the simple look VERY much (very classy) and the idea of the event on the back is a good one. I liked Rsimpers idea too about the pickguard outline. The TGF being largest doesn't bother me though. I think the design you did looks cool. The simplicity of it would make it something I would want to wear often. Plus, if it wasn't for TGF, Taylorstock wouldn't be happening, would it?

Ok-

This is awesome. I'm getting a lot of excellent feedback here. Not so much about my original design, but what kind of other ones to come up with. Some really great ideas have been shared and I'm going to put some things together and send them J.R.'s way.

This is how the best designs come about! I'm gettin' excited now!

Don't worry J.R., I've got my ear to the ground here, too!

J.R. - Very nice design. It's not overstated at all. The black and white looks great, too.

[rsimper]

Just in case people are only checking this thread- here is a design thought I had...using the pickguard border/background idea...
