The shirt Design
Anyone For Bowling?

By the way I bowl you'd NEVER want me on your team, but that didn't stop us from getting these amazing bowling shirts made from the best Bowling Shirt maker online, BowlingShirt.com. They documented the process for us to show you just how these masterpieces are put together!
The first step is the design of the shirts front and back logo. The wornderful designwork was done by Elwing and the shirt layout by Calisuri.
The second step involves actualy making the screens that will be used to print onto the shirts. This is where the design goes from a computer sprite to an actual physical layout, fun stuff!
Next the screen needs to be setup and ready to print onto the shirt.
The underlay print is done first, this is the basic print on the shirt, and the first step in the actual making of the shirt.
Here is what the underlay print looks like, white with no other colors.
The color print is the next step in this process. All colors used in our design will be done seperately using this whirly-bird looking contraption.
Here is the color print, the shirt is almost ready to go!
The shirt is dried to ensure the ink doesn't smudge or run, looks like a pizza oven to me.
After the pizza..er shirt is done in the dryer...slip it on!
And here we have it! The TORN Bowling Shirt!
We may be selling a slightly different version of these shirts if interest is high enough. Email calisuri@theonering.net and tell him you're interested!!
