Tire tread tee-shirt part deux.

I'm a bit crippled graphics wise at the moment - still replacing equipment and rewiring my office after a major electrical fubar. I have enough of my original cobra artwork on the old backup computer though to throw together an idea for the front. The first is an Adobe Illustrator rendering in 2 colors (black and red), followed by a nicer looking full color Photoshop enhanced version. The Cobra can be any color you want, with or without decals, etc.

As I recall, "Big Daddy" Don Roth sold a T-Shirt years ago with a tire tread and a big red splotch in the center. I believe it was called "Victim"

Love it, Buzz!

I pick the middle one, on the front, on a grey t-shirt, with the tire tread design and the World Championship Tour text / list of race tracks on the back.

I think the list of tracks should be pretty large text, and superimposed over the tire tread design like you see on a rock concert t-shirt.

Great! If someone can post the championship/track info then I can lay it out for approval.

My office/network rewiring is being completed as we speak so if I get the info say by tomorrow, I should be able to catch up on outstanding work for a couple of clients and still post the finished layouts by the weekend.

That layout sounds the best to me so far as well. Gotta say though, the "Esso" and "Castol" decals don't look right. If I recall, wasn't Shell the petroleum sponsor?

I'm with Silverback as well, gonna need "American sized" shirts. LOL

The decal drawings are just based loosely on the usual static cling vintage sticker set most Cobra places sell today. While I have to be cautious about replicating other peoples' trademark artwork, I don't suppose it would be a big deal for me to search some actual pics "from the day" and make the decals more authentic if that's desired.

It will take a few extra days, though - because while all the elements in the design are already done and on my computer, any new artwork will have to come after I catch up on outstanding work for one Cobra client in particular who has been extremely patient with my unforeseen delays.

It may be a good idea to confirm the races in the list. I took that from the internet, and we all know how reliable that is. I'm not currently in a position to get at my literature collection to verify the races.

1965 World Championship Tour
Daytona, USA
Sebring, USA
Oulton Park, England
Spa, Belguim
Nurburgring, Germany
LeMans, France
Reims, France
Coppa di Enna, Italy

Can someone please double-check the races and locations before it goes to print?
