This really needs to happen, guys. I spend about 15 minutes putting together the front of the t-shirt, but by no means should this be the final design. The shirt rear should list all of the hometowns of the people who send money in for the first run, plus Dwight, ON.

My idea is to use black silkscreen ink on an orange shirt. The stylized orange and the text will be where the black ink is not -- taking the "negative" literally.

That is sweet.

Pity I don't like orange shirts, but it goes with the territory. Unless we were to take orange's opposite color, blue, and run with that.

Here's the blue version. I dig it, and it would take the negativity further.

The blue makes sense in both concept and fashion sense?

I'm in for making this happen.

Brain-storming has commenced.

I'm in.

Just for historical reference, I've found the earliest known Negative Orange joke, here. Didn't realize it was so recent.

CV's original dream is his first post in the CV is nuts what are you dreaming tonight thread.

Orange on the outside and blue on the inside - reversible and negative one level deeper again.

I like them! I'm okay with either color, really. I have a bright orange Cake shirt that I think looks good on me, so I'm good with orange, but I can understand the broader appeal of the blue and the reasoning behind it. Definitely love the idea about the list of towns. I think Minus Citrus would be a good fake music label name to put in small print somewhere.

I personally like the blue version myself but being from south Florida, orange is definitely the way to go. Looks good!

I love it !!!!
After distribution, we all have to send in a pic of ourselves and I volunteer Mark to merge us all into one large photo. Preferably in an exotic location befitting the world tour.

I'd do it but we might look like Atari figures after trying to cut and paste using only MS Paint.

Awesome! I'm in.

Isn't that the shirt that Lady Gaga is wearing to the Grammys next year?

Yes, that was after seeing a pic of CV wearing his bacon undies.

Poor baby.

All truth aside, It HAS to be orange, IMNSHO.

The "eternal circle" as a cross-section of orange wedges looks GREAT, Peter! You could make it an eyeball killer and print the orange on a cobalt blue shirt.

I'm in for several, as long as something stays orange.

It doesn't really count when your mom says, "That looks nice on you."

Sean, you're not reading it correctly. He makes no mention of his mother's tastes. He names only a single (as in ONE) known living being who approves.

Poor CV.

CV probably also thinks that Bob is an admirable guy.

He's not THAT uniqiue. And he isn't stoopit, neither.

I'm my own mother?

Psychiatry is everywhere!

Sssh... don't tell Tom Cruise!

*shakes fist*

I really hate him.

Charles, I know it's shocking, but JP will be the first to tell you that true self-revelation always is.

Think about it. The world is safer with you realizing that you're your own mother than it will be when JP finally realizes that he's his own shrink!

Is there any reason we couldn't do the shirt on both blue and orange?

Nope, no reason.

Oh great, Axiom gang warfare begins!!

Blu 4 Lyfe, beeeyotch!

I see you have sided with the bbig blu team. REFLECT!

I'm in. And enjoying all y'alls creativity.

Bump. Where's my T-shirt?

As I was reading Ben Folds' biography on the Amazon store, I found that the bassist in the Ben Folds Five, Robert Sledge, went on to form a band called International Orange.

I'm thinking our band can still kick his band's butt.

Interestingly, International Orange is a color used in the aerospace industry to set things apart from their surroundings, similar to safety orange, but deeper and with a more reddish tone.

In summation:

Safety Orange

International Orange

Negative Orange

Negative Orange--the color of peeing on safety.

Word has it that Negative Orange, sometimes referred to as "NO" for short, is working on their seventh video for the yet-to-be released song "Vacant Gray Matter". Apparently they have hired a bunch of ex-strippers to dance in the vid and will call themselves the Orange Peelers.

Well done, gentlemen. Well done.

If this actually happens, I'm in.

I know I'm a terrible judge of character, but JP always appeared to be such an erudite guy.

Seriously?

He's got me confused with my other Axiom screen ID, JohnK.

Its the rubber gloves.

Really, that's all I've ever wanted.

Validation can be such a high.

I think Bob just misspelled 'ruddy'.
