someone help me? (designers etc.)
I'm thinking about getting a varsity jacket with custom lettering on the back. I got all the info about letter sizing, but the site that I might get
the jacket from doesnt have a program set up so you can see what it would look like. I'm concerned about how big the arch of letters across the top
will be (I want an arch, but not a horseshoe).
The letters that they sew on the jacket are 3" tall and depending on the letters they are about 1.5"-2" wide. The size chart says that the "Chest" of
the jacket is 52"-52" so I THINK that means that the back of the jacket would be about 1/2 that from shoulder to shoulder right?
Anyway, what I want to see is how the letters will look with
RHODE ISLAND in an arch across the top, STRAIGHT in a straight line under that and EDGE again in a straight line under the word STRAIGHT.
Can anyone that knows design (and math) help me out?
I want it to look like these, but as you can see the one that says Massachusetts looks really akward. I know Rhode Island is long, but can it fit
without looking stupid?

If you want an arch and not a horseshoe, you're gonna need to use small letters.
Massachusetts only has one more character than Rhode Island, so it's gonna be long/big.
That third photo you posted works, but it's no where near as strong (in my opinion) as the first (Boston).
Could always do Rhode and Island on separate lines.
If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.

You could also just say Pawtucket or Providence or something. I mean, do you really care what the skinheads in Little Compton are doing? 
Also, I think BD's idea of the two separate lines is good.

You might want to try doing Rhode on top and Island on bottom in an arch, kind of like how a lot of MC cuts do it, like here:
Do the "Straight Edge" part in straight letters on one or two lines in the middle.
If you go this route, you might want to get a nicer embroidered patch that has something a bit more, even if it's just "STRAIGHT EDGE" sitting on top
of a bigger X in the background.

Actually, that Super Death Star one illustrates what I was trying to describe. Do Rhode on top where SuperDeath is and Island on bottom where Star
is. The guns on the image cross over giving you a sort of X, and you can put STRAIGHT EDGE on top of the big X.

I dont know... all good ideas, but I'm just very partial to the classic look of those other jackets. I also like longer words so RI SXE isnt really
the look I'm hoping for. damn... decisions!!
I measured my Slapshot jacket today and I'm gonna try and see how stuff looks.

last thing I sewed was probably a Megadeth logo on a jean jacket in 1989! I'm not gonna spend that much on a jacket and try and sew it myself!

A lot of people ask me what kind of music I like. I love "soul music". My "soul music" isn’t a style, genre or niche. It’s music that is genuine. It’s
a painful lyric, a dirty bassline, it’s a harrowing vocal, it’s feedback, it’s an anthem, it’s a love song, it’s anarchy. I’ve got my personal
favourites but in the end it doesn’t matter who or where it comes from... so long as it’s good and it's real.

I've been thinking about going edge again. (without actually calling myself edge. LOL.) I only drink occasionally as it is.

I haven't had a drink in a year... so I guess I can claim again...

You could always move to somewhere with less letters in the place name?
Living a life kept shut by a dream,
I'm reaching out to grasp my reality.
Hands of time wrap tight around my neck, and hit me so hard,
leaving me eyes black.
staring at a ceiling,
wondering why i never left,
penning words in a notebook,
wondering why haven't slept.
sanity is tapping in a cell
inside my fucking head.
begging for redemption
after hearing what was said.
the nights, they will not sleep
cause the days, have played for keeps.
