T-shirt idea?

I just had an idea for a t-shirt...

Plain color (such as white, blue, black, whatever) with text of "Take my hand, not my picture."

How subtly awesome would that be?

    I like it although a hand (reaching out or something) as the picture on the front of the shirt would be to my fancy a bit more.

    of course you are opening up that can of worms where those who dont think the lyrics say "picture" are going to flame you but I am with ya!

    I have seen a website where it said something about "tincture" but I was unaware of the can of worms.

    Still, we could be on to something with "lyrical" t-shirts. Maybe a "thoughts arrive like butterflies" with a picture of butterflies.

    I always thought some I Love PJ shirts, like I Love NY shirts, but with Pearl Jam images instead of a heart would be cool:
    ...maybe black with I *skull logo* PJ, or blue with I *Avocado* PJ, or black with I *Stickman* PJ, etc

    the tincture line is the next one

    "spilled my tincture "

    I love the idea of this shirt. since people think the line is "take my hand, not my t-shirt"

    take my hand, not my picture, spilled on t-shirts...

    I saw one of these years ago and always wanted one. Thought about getting a few of these artworked and screen-printed? Anyone know the position on copyright etc, would there be any issues? Obviously wouldn't want to make any money out of them, but if enough people were interested I would be prepared to look into getting some made in the new year.

    Really? So someone already came out with that shirt? that sucks, oh well, i'll think of another idea.

    I like the ideas, what about a shirt that has a picture of a mop and says "My spanking...that's the only thing I want so much"

    while hanging out before the L.A. 3 show my girlfriend pointed out someone wearing a Ramones shirt to me because i had on my Ramones shirt. I thought "so what" but she then pointed out to me that it was a PJ shirt in the style of the Ramones presidential seal shirt with the PJ guys names around it. it was bad ass and I've been looking for one sense, and can't find it. :evil:

    i'd love it if they put the white Build To Last shirt back up. i wanted one bad, but was good and was going to wait for after the holidays to order. now i can't find them anywhere in the goods section.

    Damn vacation got in the way of the preparties in Cali this year. ;) had to humor the GF and do the tourist thing while we were there. :lol:

    thanks for the heads up though.
    Peace, Love.
