DIY : gen7 T-shirt

so i wanted to make a gen7 tshirt to represrnt, so here is a diy




you will need a shirt, a letter sheet, and iron and an iron table






1) get any plain shirt or hoodie that is your size.

2) goto the "American eagle" store in your local mall, and buy a sheet of shirt letters for $8. I went to the american eagle in the maisonville mall in london, cause i didnt know that we had one in the ridue in ottawa.

3)Line up the letters on the back of the shirt to spell gev seven







4) put an iron on the letters for 20 seconds.






5) put the shirt on and smile. i also put my user name on the front of the shirt, you can do whatever u want, as long as u have enough letters.

Excellent. Is it possible to use this on a white shirt? How much horsepower will I gain? What about condensation?

yes white shirt is possible, and in your case a white see through shirt is recomanded.

Condensation will not happen as long as u dont put the iron on steam mode.

and i think that the extra "smoothness" of the letters on the shirt reduces friction between u and the seat, hence reducing drag force, making the car more aerodynamic, so makes it faster.

Great idea! Let me know if you guys come up with anything and I'll supply a proper file to whoever wants to make these things. Hell, with the right printer and those iron on transfer paper thingees, couldn't someone do this at home?

that's hillarious. Nice work Abe.

I'm sure we can get some professionally made if we want them. Team logo and all.

I had plans to make a shirt with the team name and local on the front and my ride on the rear.

ok so i talked to dude this morning. say for example we want a one colour print on a dark t-shirt-with shirt+print its roughly 13 bucks plus taxes each. He said that hoodies would vary i price depending on size and how good a quality one we choose.(19.99-29.99)He supplies the shirts/hoodies.He has a pretty good colour selection he said as well. now im assuming the price will go up if we wnat something printed on the front AND back. but it seems fairly reasonable. anyone else have a print shop nearby they wanna price?
i also checked into those iron on transfer papers you can get at Business Depot-for 10 sheets its 19.99.
also checked a nearby Copyman-but they can do it but only on a white cotton t-shirt.

If anyone can get a bunch of plain tshirts for cheap, I can print the transfers at home on my Epson (Sare, did you notice if the transfer paper was for any specific printer?) I think we can save money that way and also have better control of the way the tshirts look.
