Subject: Donkey Gear (for the family)

So, I wanted to make some donkey gear for my family, and realized others might be in the same boat. So, I've put together a little Cafe Press site and begun to try to come up with designs/ideas. Here's what I've got so far:

http://www.cafepress.com/TriDonkai 

I have absolutely zero mark up on this stuff. I'm not trying to make money - just provide a donkey service.

So, the question is - what would YOUR family member (or you while jockstrapping) like for donkey gear? Note that the limit with the free store is that I can only have 1 design for each item-type. So, for example, I can't have both a "my mommy is a donkey" and "my daddy is a donkey" light colored kid's t-shirt. To do that, I'd have to pay for a store, in which case I'd have to add some markup to cover my costs. But, I could do one design, have people that want it order it, and then take that "product" down and do a different design.

Thoughts? 

I have the cartoon donkey head graphic and the tri-donkai graphics to play with.

Okay, Donkey Support Staff. I'll get on that (probably tonight). I'm not sure what the turn around time is. I've never ordered from Cafe Press before.

And, as for pink....well, yah. Um, I'll see if they have any pink shirts. (I'm so not a pink person.

Well, I don't see any tent options, but they do have yard signs and banners. What would you like on a yard sign and/or banner? (Example with no words)

Okay, here are 2 different versions of "Donkey Support Staff." Is there a preference for one over the other?

Okay, so "Donkey Support Staff" seemed to be the agreed upon tagline, and there are now a bunch of options for apparel with that logo posted on the cafepress site. If I missed something that you want, just let me know. Otherwise, feel free to outfit your friends/spouses/children, etc.

Ask and ye shall receive. Jr, Women's and Men's tank tops added (and a ringer t, just cause I think it's kind of cool).

Hey, I don't control the inventory. :P I did find one other made in the usa one - it's the organic cotton one, so I added it.

No problem - it only takes a sec now that I have the image figured out. There are now 2 options for v-necks - regular and plus size.

If you want, you can look through all the basic products here:

http://www.cafepress.com/cp/customize/

I can put the logo on anything light colored. It doesn't work on the dark-colored stuff. I tried to do a hat, and it didn't really work on that, either, because they only give you this tiny oval to do something with. So, if there's anything else that looks cool, just give a shout.

It's one thing if it's a tech shirt.  It's a completely different story if it's a cotton "muscle" shirt.  Those are just plain cheesy.  Wear a tank top, for goodness sakes.  What's good for the goose (sleeveless can work for a girl...) is NOT always good for the gander (hi there, meat head...what happened to your neck?
