Hi all, some of you may know I run a small design and marketing agency.

We're currently nearing completion of a 'motoring clothing' eCommerce store and I suggested to the owner they sell their wares on here.

They currently design and print vintage and classic t-shirts, hoodies, mugs etc but are interested in modern euro and jap cars, however it isn't their niche so asked for some suggestions and feedback.

Retro and modern car t-shirts and hoodies your sort of thing? If so feel free to comment on what you like and don't like, they offered to make the best suggestions and give away t-shirts the best idea.

I personally like the idea of old school Honda racing emblems etc but as I say it can be modern too!

If it helps post pictures of examples such as the iconic Honda RA271 F1 racing car.

Edit: the site is now live.

so a plain coloured Tshirt it is then

DO them the same colour as peoples cars and your onto a winner right away as that seems to be the biggest argument on here

That's actually quite a good idea.

[Skywalker]

welcome

Then just keep the design easy enough to know what it is and where the website is . No silly pictures etc and then they suit everyone and doesn't limit the market to people who don't like massive logo's etc ...

Metallic coloured hoodies and t-shirts sounds ACE

Should use the body temp colour change material they used to make t-shirts out of in the 90's

Then all the pirates owners could have black t-shirts with purple armpits.

[EdLeake]

Nice.

Sounds good Ed, a vintage looking ATR logo or some such would be cool

To give you an idea of the sort of things they're doing I've attached some images:

Ed, I have designed my own T-shirt for my Prelude. Don't care what any one says but I loved it and so did the other Prelude owners. I was told to make them in different colours to match people's car. I had a black car design as my car is black (obviously lol) then was thinking red for red prelude owners. I think you can do something similar but with ATR design.

There are a few people who might like a 'My VTEC goes Bwaaahhhhhhh' T-shirt.

I'm not saying that i'm one of them but it seems to be a very popular sticker on EP3's etc and might sell very well as an item of clothing....i've seen at least a dozen of those stickers this year alone.

Hmmm. Perhaps a H22A7 exploded diagram.

Would the the Red t-shirts turn pink when the sun came out?

I would say would the black ones get dirty easily? but they always get fluffy

Definitely a person to avoid in a pub if they was wearing that.

could we have an exploded diagram H22 t-shirt with all the bits that usually go wrong after 100,000 miles coloured in Red.

Add in some obvious white stonechips on the front for that 'distressed/high-mileage' look.

are the red ones colour fast
