New PoolTees t-shirt design - feedback requested

[Njhustler1]

hey kids,
so we were thinking about printing the design below. but before we throw our money out with the bathwater, we'd like to know if its actually something you would buy.

so please dont hold back with your constructive criticism and let us know if this is worth pursuing, that you'd consider purchasing, or if you wouldnt wish this shirt on your worst enemy.

thanks.

I really like the idea behind the shirt (because I do a lot of drills), but the comic-y font would keep my finger from clicking "check out". But, that's just me. I only ever want to see courier, times new roman/arial or black chancery on my shirts. I also like the AC/DC and Local 14.1 shirt-fonts you have - mostly because they fit the message. The font on this mockup reminds of me a 50's beach movie. *shrug*

It's a nice design, but I agree I don't care for the font.

I would like to see a 14.1 "Straight Pool" shirt. That would be cool. In Navy of course with size 5XLT available

With current events going on in the Gulf (BP), I'm not sure of the timing on this one...

I think it's pretty funny. I like it. The drill,baby,drill meme is already a little old and dying out... five years from now a lot of people won't get where that phrase comes from... but the phrase and visual work on their own even if the reader doesn't get it.

Do 'er up.

good feedback. thanks!

stljohnny, yeah, the could probably be changed. i did such a quick search for an oil-like font and couldnt find anything good but will do some more research. back to the drawing board on that aspect.

dr9ball, we do have 14.1 shirts already available: http://www.pooltees.com/products.php?cat=10

sfleinen, we've had this project on the backburner for a long time now. recent events did remind me that the concept was in my notes. but believe me when i say i'm anti "drill baby drill" when it comes to American energy policy. however, I am very pro-billiard drills, and think this shirt does a good job in using humor to convey am important message to amateurs pool players.

creedo, i think your right but we'll see how the polls turn out.

I like it and would by one. I need all the T shirts I can get after my X gave away most of my old one's to goodwill.
