Ringbrothers T-shirt Design Contest - FREE Hood Hinges

[Ringbrothers]

At Ringbrothers we have a lot of creativity flowing but no one can seem to come up with a design for our t-shirts. So Jim had the idea to have a contest to see who could come up with the coolest design. No real guidelines - just be creative.

Anyone interested should post your design in this thread and email it to me at [email protected]

All submission have to be in by February 18th. We will make a decision on the best design the following week.

The winner will receive a FREE set of Ringbrothers billet hood hinges.

ps I'm going to run the contest on www.pro-touring.com too. Only one winner will be picked.

Could you draw that up? I have a hard time visualizing!

Come on guys - I need more layouts!

Here's an idea, not sure if it's a good one or not though. On the front of the shirt, keep it simple with the Ring Brothers logo and name underneath. On the back, have a picture with Mike and Jim standing beside each other. Could be cartoon characters or real. I get the feeling that family is important so could even include family or just spouses. Behind Mike and Jim, have their favorite two builds or two most popular builds on an angle so they make a upside down v shape. Kind of like below. It should look like Mike and Jim are standing there and the cars are coming from behind at an angle and going past them.

Mike and Jim standing between the two cars.

Here you could the website address or some accomplishments and awards



For some reason when I post the post, it doesn't show the spacing like in the preview pane. The / \ should be making an upside down V shape. I also sent you an email so hopefully it showed up better.

Have a couple of your cars sitting in the middle of a corn field on the back of the shirts with a field of dreams type theme and put above the picture put-"If we build it, you will come", substitute spelling of come if you was in to the raunchy stuff

I am working on some. I will have several posted up next week. Hang tight, I don't want to spill the beans too early, LOL.

Well, not sure if I should post this here or on Pro-touring.com as I am usually spend more time over there but since there are no submissions here I figured I would help getting the ball rolling here.

Here are three concepts I put together and later this week I plan to add some more. They can be tweaked or changed around as needed, but let me know what you think.

1st one uses several builds you have done.
2nd one (redefining the classics) includes some of the sponsors from your site which could actually be added to any of the designs.
3rd one (from concept to completion) uses a sketch of the car that morphs into the completedd car. Might be hard to see here, I can send it larger if you like. But the white part actually mimics a pencil sketch of the car.

Thanks Staci!

I'm a graphic designer/art director (I handle the marketing efforts of several clients and create their print and ad designs, websites and anything else that falls under their marketing efforts) by day and by night I just a regular hot rodder, trying to build cool $hit, LOL.

[69clark]

So here are a few more designs I had in mind. Keep in mind a couple things. First of all these are all done on black shirts, but they can be done on white or gray with some alteration, I just picture Ringbrothers shirt being black. Secondly, there are alot of ideas here front and back, so different fronts could be matched with differet backs, different car builds and logo used, etc. These are just concepts, and as you know concepts are meant to be changed and altered, LOL.
