New Team Hayastan-IMB MMA Shirts.
Tuesday, March 1, 2011 at 07:52PM Well, these babies are final, and over the next few days they should be hitting the silkscreener. Sensei Paul Booe and I went over the intial designs and worked out some final modifications regarding the sizing of the graphics along with the usage of color and narrowed it down to what you see here. I'm really pleased with the final result, and I cannot wait to get my hands on these shirts. I have to admit, I've got several school shirts that are pretty rank, I feel bad rolling with people cause as soon as the sweat hits, people might wanna tap so they can switch partners.

Here's the first design, we called the "Modern Warrior" shirt. I covered the thought process behind the design in an earlier post, but one addition we made on this shirt, along with the other school shirts is the addition of crossing swords on the back with the full school logo. With it I added a quote I found that I thought seemed appropriate that states, "We do not rise to the level of our expectations, we fall to the level of our training". I thought the quote seemed fitting as a motivator. I read it simple as, 'Don't assume you'll succeed at something, because you'll only be as good as the preparation you put in'. Paul made a good ppoint that it may be misinterpreted as being negative, but I think if you really read into the words, the meaning is there, and it's meant to motivate. We had limitations on the actual size of the graphic on the front, I would have preferred for it to be larger, but it simply wasn't possible for this run, but I still think this is a great shirt, and I'm excited about it.

This shirt has easily been my favorite. Wasn't hard, the Samurai art was a stock clipart I found, and I added the school logo into the helmet and added some degraded effects into it. The back of the shirt has the same quote from the other shirt, and overall is the same design, just for this shirt, the colors were changed. I love the design simply because I love gray Tees, so this one is exciting and I got a lot of feedback from people saying this one was their overall preference. It will be interesting to see of the two, which one will be the popular seller.;)

Lastly, here is the final design for the Hayastan Grappling Challenge shirt for the upcoming tournament coming up on March 19th. We tried several different designs, but we finally ended up with the "Heel-Hook" dig. I actually found a great image I was able to posterize and trace into a simple graphic vector. I'll give you props if you can make out who the people are. I know it might be somewhat obvious, but still. Kudos to you if you can.
Well that's it, hope you enjoy them. Make sure you buy'em up with you see them at the schools.

Paul told me about the new design. It's even better than I expected. I will be contacting you soon to design a t-shirt for dyme.
Thanks for the props!
