Love it! But did WE go to the moon? LOL! Put me down for one, thanks geo!

Very nice...always looking for creative Rocket T shirts!

I'm down for one in XL, please. Good work, geo!

I'm still available for "modeling" should you ever get to it!

"Ground control to major Phil!"

BTW, I think that the shirt would have more impact if the pictured Rocket was in the much faster (and sexier) red color!

Daryl,
Why should she ask them?
Should we ask them if we should, or can run a darkside tire too?
I think not.
I didn't ask anybodies permission when I had the patches made up for RAA 4
I used their triangle and rat idea,
They didn't seem to mind.
At least no lawyers have contacted me regarding the matter.
Think I'll do it again this year for RAA 5..

.... yeah, it's not like they are the NFL or Microsoft. lol

If they're going to be made in the U.S.A., three large T-shirts please. I think it's very cool and original and I have quit buying Triumph T's because they're made in China.

Yea I'm sure they are like the NFL or Microsoft in respect to their logos, ect.
But its not like John Bloor is utilizing the designs in respect to filling the gap in marketing our wants and needs.
If Triumph would have had a cool Rockets Across America design patch and pin,
I never would have went to the trouble of designing one, prepaying for them,
taking them half way across the country and trying to make sure everyone who attended got one.
I would have just bought 1 or 2 of theirs.
Not trying to rip John off, anymore than I'm trying to rip anyone else off.
Harley may not appreciate that I have several harley tattoos on my body either,
but when you like a product, you want to have something to show your support.
I chose patches and pins because it was a niche market that we (the attendees) wanted,
but didn't have.
Just like Geo's shirt idea.
Nothing to hurt the company or affect their bottom line, but in support of the company and their products.
If John, or the corp. Triumph attorneys tell me to stop, I sure would.
If John or the corp. attorneys wanted a free patch or pin,
I'd do that too.
If they wanted part of the profit,
I'd gladly send the cost sheets, vs. the money recieved sheet,
they'd probably send me money..
Like Geo, I didn't do it to make ANY money, I did it for US.

I wasn't suggesting you guys will, or intend to, rip Triumph off by selling patches/shirts. I understand you're making them for your own use. I was just making you aware it's still illegal and you *could* get in trouble, and that it's easy enough to simply ask for permission. I don't know what Triumph's answer would be, but I did the same thing you guys are doing with a boutique guitar amplifier manufacturer's logo. I wanted a t-shirt, but he doesn't sell anything with his logo on it; just builds amps and sells them. I asked for permission to do it and his answer was "Sure man, go for it. Make one for me too, if you don't mind. Also, if I like them, I may order a batch". It was fast, easy and I have my T-shirt (courtesy of BoogerDave). At the end of the day, it certainly isn't any skin off my nose what you choose to do or not do; just passing along *friendly* advice, with no intention of starting a debate about it.

Btw, I'm envious of you guys that can come up with and bring those designs to life. That's pretty cool. I'm musically creative, but I can't draw a straight line with a ruler. lol

daryl,
post some songs then bro,
maybe there's a market right here.
We got all types of folks right here.
Everybody had to start somewhere.
Me I like country (old country)
rock n roll (real )
But we're a pretty diversified group,
I'm sure if you don't do music that appeals to everyone,
there'll still be some that like it.
Let us hear what ya got.

Sounds like you and I have the same taste in music. Actually, I like just about anything as long as it's not rap or teen pop (Britney Spears type crap).
