If it were up to me, you would take the prize. Your designs are far and away the classiest, with a sophistication beyond any merchandise the band has ever had.

I've said it before - I find shirts that primarily feature photos of the band very cheesy. I have a box full of shirts that I've bought at Stevie/Fleetwood Mac shows over many years - just for collecting purposes - I would never think of wearing them. The designs mostly looked slapped together, like an after thought, with no sense of taste or fashion. (Although I've considered wearing my light blue Tusk shirt that simply has a penguin on the front side).

I would wear your t-shirts. In fact, you should immediately be put on retainer with the band (replacing Chris Nicks or whatever hack they usally assign) and design the artwork for everything they release, including their cds, promo collateral etc..

Do you work as a graphic designer? If not, you should!
