I think it would look better on the back.

That being said, I hope you don't mind me giving you my opinion that it looks a little too cartoony. Something you might buy cheap from a roadside vendor. I'd prefer something more classic and understated if I were a buyer. Like a simple silhouette, not so much a collage.

Hi tangerine911S ,

I appreciate your opinion.
I agree it is rather congested.
Its from an actual Artwork that I first viewed in the Stuttgart Porsche Museum back in 2008 and couldn't get them to sell it to me --- maybe it looks better in a frame and under glass. Took me 5 years to track it down. A Pelican alerted me to a place in France who had it. A print shop scanned it at 400dpi prior to framing. It was never designed to be a T Shirt, but I thought I'd try and have some fun with it. It has Butzi in the centre surrounded by all variations of the 911 up to the 993.

Too busy for the front unless you add "affliction" or "Ed hardy"
Seriously, can you make it a black and white?
Small Porsche over left breast.

I think there are loads of understated, refined, slick Porsche shirts available -- we don't really need another one, do we? This guy's shirt is fun, so wear it on a day that you are feeling fun, like at the beach, and save your refined Porsche gear for the Concour. Just my opinion, but I welcome an option that's a little looser than the usual.

I'm confused -- Why show a completely different shirt in this thread ?

Seems consensus is Pic on BACK with Monogram Front.

I'm getting 2 of these made up to see what they look like.
One is a gift to the Pelican from Ohio who helped me located the artwork in France.
Those two will cost me over $30 each because 2 shirts is more of a PITA than a significant order.
I dont sell T Shirts but I'm not adverse to the idea as a few guys have sent PM s requesting them.
Anyone know of a reliable T Shirt manufacturer that could do volume at realistic pricing ?

Looks like an intellectual property issue on the horizon. I wonder what will happen when Porsche learns of your creativity? I would get Porsche approval in writing.
