WR2BAM: Holy Shirt!

Recently I've been asked by a few different people whether I ever plan to do a WR2BAM t-shirt. I certainly don't deign to think this little blog is big enough of a deal to warrant its own merchandise, and I don't want you guys to think I'm getting too big for my britches, but it might be fun. People seem to be into WR2BAM's graphics scheme, and I started thinking -- if I could put out something cool-looking that people would actually wear, why not?

So I'm putting this out there to see what you guys think. I think it'd be fun to do even just a limited run of WR2BAM tees, and rather than have them be about promoting this site, I'd like them to sort of embody the whole concept of WAITIN ROUND 2 BE A MILLIONAIRE, because it's a philosophy that I think goes beyond this blog. If I do this, I want to put out badass t-shirts that are super affordable (there are few things that grind my gears more than blogs having the balls to put out $50 tees!) and that look cool whether you know what WR2BAM is or not.

I've come up with three potential designs. If you guys actually think you would be into rocking a WR2BAM t-shirt, for the love of all things heavy metal, comment on this post and let me know what design (or designs) you like. If I get a healthy enough response, I can make this happen. All designs would probably be printed on American Apparel deep V-neck t-shirts and would be between $15 and $20.

Design #1: WR2BAM Icons

Click for full size or view front and back graphics.

Based on the header design. Front collage of Bon Scott and Angus Young of AC/DC, knife-wielding Mia Farrow in "Rosemary's Baby," Exene Cervenka of X, Rob Halford of Judas Priest, and Jane Birkin in a see-through dress. Back collage of Stiv Bators of the Dead Boys, Twiggy, and Nico with the WR2BAM logo.

Design #2: Ain't No Fun

Click for full size or view front and back graphics.

Pretty straightforward "Ain't No Fun" graphic done in a pyramid stud print with an overlap logo on the back.

Design #3: Champagne Taste, High Life Budget

Click for full size or view front and back graphics.

The WR2BAM credo in an acid wash print on the front, extra-large acid wash WR2BAM logo on the back.

So, what do you guys think? Should it happen? Would you wear one? Got any suggestions as far as the graphics? Any feedback would be awesome.
