Ugly Sweater T Shirt
« on: January 01, 2015, 12:06:34 PM »
I want to share something I saw last night at my favorite pizza place. Ugly Christmas sweaters were a big thing this year and I sure saw a lot of them being sold and worn. The Automatic brew staff had these shirts printed (a nice oversize print too) to look like the design was knitted and made ugly sweater T shirts! The bike rider is the logo for the establishment that houses Automatic (Blind Lady Ale House). Same type of print on the front (but with a large frosty mug featured). Really cool and I listened to numerous customers ask if they were for sale. Just a gag item that they never imagined would be in demand. I'm definitely going to have to print something like this next year. Happy New Year to one and all...

Tha cool.  Could be a more economical option to the short usefulness of a costly ugly sweater.

It has its potential.

We get a few request each year for them. These we ran with foil. Got the picture the right way this time!

Cool! Clearly I'm behind the curve on this, but I look forward to giving it my spin. Particularly if I can figure out how to tie in with one of my local brewers :)

Back in the 80's I did something similar for Christmas gifts. I did it in puff print which was the rage back then. The raised ink really gave it the needlepoint look and didn't pucker on the sweats!
