Being a long-time member here, I feel like the non-911 Porsche models get the short shrift when it comes to merch. Shirts with 911s on them are absolutely everywhere, while the other models like our 924s, 944s, 968s, get the short shrift.
So, I'm thinking about making some stuff to fill in this gap. What I need to know is:
1) Would you buy one of these shirts or one like it with your specific model on it? (944 and 924 shown.)
2) Would you prefer it with or without some pithy text at the bottom?
3) What price range would you pay ( Less than $20, $20-$23, $23-$27) considering that this is a premium imported t-shirt, not a standard "fruit-of-the-vine" one?
4) Do you like the graphic style?

20- 25 would work but the problem is you never know what you're getting... I have a couple of cool T-shirts but rarely wear them because they are like wearing a paper towel they are so thin... The Blipshift ones are marginal … but that's just me.. I like thicker T's
I’d pay more for a decent weight (over 6oz) all cotton made in the USA t-shirt which I would be more likely to wear. Prefer a contemporary 944-themed design rather than just a car and some text printed on the front. Just my preference that’s all
I like the 924 one. It works well in that color. I personally am not a fan of accompanying text. Not those specifically, just in general.
It's pretty hard to get a quality shirt for under 20 I think, especially with printing? From what I've seen, the printing quality can be more of a problem than the actual shirt quality. Some prints wear off after a few washes, others last a while. Putting them in the dryer usually accelerates wear too.
Looks like you're keeping the print colors to three, which is good. IIRC when I did T-shirts anything more than three color was a big jump in price, if you are outsourcing the printing.
A word of caution, make sure no identifying "Porsche" logos or text are on the shirt. While the car shapes are of course copyrighted/trademarked, they usually don't care about that. Porsche has been known to go after people putting the crest, text, logo on merchandise without permission.

That's because you live in NY.
If as little as a light breeze doesn't blow right through, I aint wearin' it.
As MAGK944 says, I'd also purchase one (or more) if the shirt was of better quality. Also, you may want to offer shirts with or without text; I prefer no text but a highly detailed illustration. Thanks!
