You do realize that the Porsche Crest is copywrited and discussion of an illegal act on a public forum is foolish. Use of the crest without authorization really pisses off Porsche's legal department. You might as well be using the Polo logo , or Coach or Armani names or patterns to make money.
You can make a cool shirt for yourself but once you sell them you can get into serious problems if Porsche decides to press the issue. It is obvious that having the crest adds value to the shirt but that value belongs to Porsche.

So...can I assume you want 3?
For the record: This is not a money making venture. I designed the shirt for myself and saw interest in the 944 crowd so I thought I would spread the wealth so to speak. I would hope the Porsche legal dept. would have better things to do then go after me for selling 30 shirts or so at my cost. But then again... there may be someone like you working there.

I'm actually working on the design as I writing this...
The problem with having too many color choices is I'm using three colors for the logo (Gold, Black and the third one being the shirt color red). I'm not sure many other colors would work...?
white?
blue?
Silver/gray...maybe
I found a font I like much better for the sleeve and re-configured the layout...looks awesome if I say so myself!
I'll post pictures when I can.

Yes I would buy one - I Like the Red as I have a few in that are Black, 928 though and xxl (or XL if they run large). My son-in law has a 911 so he may be interested as well.

Is there a woman's version of the 928 shirt? You know, with the pop up headlights?
Oh, and brutus is right. Porsche is very protective of their brand and the value associated with it. They do litigate and win against small manufacturers to make it an object lesson for others. Think the arbitrary Napster suits last decade. More than a few university students were sued successfully to make a point.

PCA clubs are granted an exception to use the Porsche logo so long as it's not for profit. I would think the 928 OC would be granted the same.
I personally would want a long sleeve T with writgthing on it. Just not my cup of tea... can't always satisfy everyone.
I do like the number on the back and would suggest using the same 928 font as seen on the brake pedal.
