Which one do you like better?

I'm messing around with some designs for a shirt I can wear while "out motoring" in Fiona and I've hit an impasse...

Which lettering seems best? One is more "retro" but the other is tougher. The car design is exactly the same in both cases - just the lettering is different.

I can use any shirt color, BTW... I just used different ones for contrast. I made graphics in red, blue, brown, green and black, since I don't have any idea yet if I'll just be making one shirt for me or ones for the wife and kiddie too (and if so, what they'll like). Easier to make multiple iterations all at once, y'know, rather than going back in and trying to replicate what I did after the fact...

Gray. Reason: The font on the blue one is definately *not* "old school".

Hey Matt,

Love the grey. I agree with Irieman regarding font on yellow "not" old school. Sign me up for a grey one. Also, fwiw, it might be cool to scale down the whole thing and do a couple shirts with just a small logo where a pocket is generally located... or do the large one on back and repeat w/the smaller version on the frontside.

Sorry guys - I'd LOVE to sell these to people, but I did not do the illustration of the Mini - it was done by COOPERation and I don't want to tick him off. Maybe this will give him an idea though - last I heard he could make t-shirts at his graphics shop, and he could probably do it cheaper than I do at Zazzle.com.

Thanks for the ideas though - I'm pretty partial to the true "old school" text, but it IS a bit more "cute"... After hearing that word 9 times a day when I drive around, I'm tempted to go "tough" if you know what I mean.

EDIT: Oooh - it's fun in ladies' style and green...

I'd buy the brown one before the grey one. They're both solid though, nice job.

Some irony in that an "old school" tee has a 90+ish Sportpack (or clone) Mini on it???

IMHO, "Old School" is 60's Mini......

OK, make your own shirt.

This is the graphic I have. BTW - the arches are City arches, not Sportpack. The original image is in my sig. Maybe I can slap some exterior door hinges on it. Oh, wait, I don't want to do that - it looks like my car as it is!
