The back will have a vendor list on it with all of their logos.


Number one has the SF skyline on the left and Tokyo on the right. yes that is tokyo tower.


As for the rising sun.... you guys should have said something in the thread that was running for WEEKS. Don't vote for it. I don't give a ****. I'm sorry you're offended by an illustration. I don't get offended when I see our old flag with 13 stars on it or the old confederate flag.

I understand the sensitivity considering the fundraiser but seriously... but seriously... so offended that it's an issue with you?

Take it down. Redo the voting. I don't really care. This was for you guys. I wanted to do something with more cars but these were the direction requested by those that PARTICIPATED and gave input.

The design has literally been up for review for WEEKS. Should have spoke your opinion then. This is why I requested that this thread have ZERO comments and be for voting only.

Ray, just to be clear, I am not offended by it. It is not an issue for me at all. In fact, from a design standpoint, I really like the rising sun image. Just thought I should mention it. And yes, you are right I should have mentioned it earlier, but I hadn't even looked in that t-shirt thread until yesterday because I've known for a while that I would not be even able to go to BAM this year.

That said, everyone should vote for #1

I think #1 would look sick if it was offset on the shirt.

I know... was referring to the other guy that doesn't like me and was clearly offended.


And like I said... no hard feelings if it gets pulled down. I understand not wanting to offend when you're trying to raise money for someone.

I don't give a crap if it offends the korean's and chinese... most of the ones that would have the RIGHT to be offended are either dead or old enough that they wouldn't be offended. And most of the younger ones don't have a clue why they should be offended. And the korean's and chinese do all sorts of **** that offends me... LOL!

That is an awesome idea. Someone should do all the old ones, too.

You should have paid attention to the other thread where it was requested by someone to have that thrown into the design. No need to be douchy about it.

^ I think Choku Dori did mention it in the other thread. Either way, what's done is done. If people are offended at this point, they don't need to vote for it.

So basically when a Japanese person displays a rising sun on their car, it's pretty much a confederate flag?

Well from now on I will be sure to take the rising sun painted on any cars as a threat, and will flip the drivers off??
