Most likely these prints were made on transfer foils, mirror-invertedly, then applied with heat on the cloth. If they're not already separating before, such prints usually do it at the latest after one or a few washings. I have kept some self serigraphed shirts and jerseys from the eighties and nineties, which have been washed and washed again - the cotton is strongly bleached, but not the prints. Let me make a proposal: If we can get an edition of at least 3 dozens together, I could let fine quality shirts embroided with the LUG emblem, with free choice of size and of colors for chemises and embroidings. No T-shirts or jerseys, real gentlemen's shirts with collar, cuff, regular front buttons or pearl-of-mother pushbuttons on demand. The cut is something between Hawai and Nashville country look. Very cool. My textile printer here, one of the best in our country, just puts sizes and colors in his computer, and the whole stuff is automaticly produced and embroided in Asia a week or two later. Color changes from sample to sample without additional costs. Adding the 2nd shipping from here to the LUGgers, it's not that fast and cheap as caf?press, but better. BTW caf?press isn't really cheap. So if there's some interest, I could work out an offer with sample pictures and prices. All I need is the vectorized LUG emblem in EPS or ai, or at least a good pixel artwork.
