New T-Shirt Design Premier

Roll out the red carpet!

Finally, for your edification, the new design. It was slightly too wide for my scanner, so I joined two scans up :) Original is around 8.5 x 11 inches.

As you can see, although there's less fish, it's a little more complex than the 1999 design was. I'm thinking as before, this will go on the back, with a Loaches Online logo on the front. Designing that is my next job 8)

Very cool, I like it. The Syncrossus berdmorei has an unusual/funny dip between his head and his dorsal but I still like the pic.

Yes, funnily enough I've already amended that since scanning it. When you look at it at reduced size, the cloud above the back makes it look worse than it is for some reason. I added less than 1mm of ink to make it look right.

Once I find a supplier I'm happy with I will endeavour to post a sizing chart based on chest dimension. Despite the fact that the Dutch are supposedly the tallest people, often they're not wide.

North-American sizing tends to be based on the Super-Size me principle, so there tends to be little corellation between sizes with European-based suppliers.
