Front or Back?
So we're ordering up all this new merch now, right?
And I feel like we're ALWAYS doing the main band image on front...
with our logo small between the shoulders round back.
What's your preference?
Big band print on front or back?
How do you feel about the small-over the heart placement?
BTW, there's a label-specific design that just went to press that i think you dudes are REALLY gonna dig.
If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.

I'm vain and like looking at myself in the mirror. Hard to do with a big image on my back.

as someone who might know a thing or 3 about merch
I like the front print
it catches the eye more
with a small left chest you have to get around the person to see what the hell is going on

I voted for front and for band t-shirts I really think that's best, but I am a big fan of work shirts and similar style button ups with the main image
on the back and sometimes a small logo on the pocket area. I would buy so much more merch than I already do if that sort of thing was more common. I
know it costs more to make and all that, but as far as I'm concerned, it's worth paying more for and looks a lot better than plain old t-shirts.

I'm not a fan of chest print shirts at all. I like a full front and generally a full back too so I feel like I'm getting my moneys worth, but back
isnt as important.
I think the current style of band on front, thorp logo on back is cool. What might be a nice change is band on front, band on back, thorp logo on
sleeve! 
I know I hate most of the old Victory shirts. they put the Victory logo on the front and the band on the back sometimes! I have a longsleeve
Billingsgate shirt that says 'Victory' on it more than it says 'Billingsgate'.
button ups are cool too and anything thats 'different'... like a hockey jersey, baseball jersey, 3/4 length sleeve (even though those never fit me).

I like front most of the time, would like to see more baseball style shirts with the colored sleeves and image on the white.
I would really like to see some shirts other than black, fuck, everyone here has a closet full of black shirts.
Well I've got a feeling I'm gonna get mine in. Retribution let the games begin.

Chest print above the heart allways makes me think of generic company apparel. Like, any maintenence company, plumber, contractor, etc... I like
full frontal shirt-ery! I know it is "played out" but I also like the lower back / ass print logo placement. Not for the Thorp logo, but like some
horizontal logo / text.

Not answering the question, but I vote for a Thorp polo shirt where the anchor logo is embroidered on the left chest. But do a smaller logo and not
something huge. That'd be awesome.

I like the small chest look. Its not done that much anymore as most bands got huge designs at all front/corners of shirts now a days. I miss the ol'
early nineties straightedge hardcore look with the small logo on chest and design on back. Shit was good enough for UNBROKEN, so its good enough for
me.

this is an interesting idea.
unfortunately, the few executions of it i've seen have been poor.
the polo shirts are always made of polyester and hay.
if i were to do it, i'd go legit and buy some decent polos.

Agreed, BD. I like a good polo, but the band and label ones I've picked up have sucked shit through a straw. I have some that seem like somebody cut
up a t-shirt so they could add a collar and buttons and they always seem to fit like shit.

It depends on what the image is.

i picked up a DKM polo at a show once.
first off, i wound up paying $10 more than they were charging online.
it was an xxl cut like a m.
and it was like wearing sandpaper.
i think i gave it or sold it to someone on the board eventually.
who got that shit?
i picked up a couple plain jcrew polos at the outlet this summer for like $12 each.
they're far more comfortable than my fred perrys.
maybe i'll see about getting a couple dozen next time and have them embroidered locally.
If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.

Well if you posted a JPEG then we'd be able to say if we'd prefer it on the front or back.

I want an embroidered Thorp workshirt or polo. Seriously. Do it.
I like band logo/names on the Chest only. And usually just the band name, no images. And I want them cheap.

i meant generally speaking, do you think there are some design styles that work better on the front vs the back.
i don't have a particular design in mind; it just seems like so many shirts are big front print only.

The DKM polo shirt I have is a great quality shirt. I also have B4B, Agnostic Front, and Discipline polos that are pretty good. I have seen some
seriously cheap one too though. I'd love a Thorp or SG polo. Work shirts also rule, so I'd love to see a couple of those.

I love work shirts. If more bands did them well I wouldn't have to keep wearing my Bosstones one.
