I just wish it wasn't black. I get what you're trying to do with the color scheme from the site, but the black just completely overwhelms it.

If you're going to go with something without text, have the shirt be the grayish color, with the orange stripe going across the entire chest.

I was just going to comment on that.

To my eye, Slate, Asphalt, or Heather Grey would work better (in order of preference). http://www.americanapparel.net/wholesaleresources/ExpressOrd...

Also, these are 100% cotton, right?

I was struggling to find a name for the primary background color here. It's probably not gray. Creme?

I came to the same conclusion (looks like Creme). But it's probably best to have someone look at the colour in person?

Yep! These will be printed on 100% cotton tees.

We just added a Slate Grey option to checkout, you can now purchase! Thanks for the feedback.

any chance we can see a preview of it in the slate option?

I also added that to the campaign! Just click the thumbnails on www.teespring.com/hntees.

Wow! Much appreciated! Thanks and purchased! :-)

Thanks for the feedback, we've just added a Slate Grey option on checkout!

Love the gray actually. I'm much more likely to buy it now. Thanks for listening!

I agree. Anyone with animals knows that black just doesn't work, so I have to pass on a lot of cool shirts at conferences, etc

Can you explain this further? I don't understand.

Light pet hair. It stands out much more than dark on light, for whatever reason.

Very fair feedback, we just added a Slate Grey option to check out - let me know if that works.

Meh, I have a yellow lab that sheds quite a lot, and gets really excited when I see her, resulting in her jumping up and down and rubbing up against me.

Just keep a lint roller around.

To make it look like the actual site you need the orange line to be straight and at the top.
