fwiw i showed my girlfriend the design and she had no idea what the picture was at first. fwiw this is someone who has never played / seen 1 hand of online poker so i'm not sure if that sort of audience matters, but just throwing that out there.

The whole design is just too messy. Lose the poker table and hard-to-read blood font.

Isn't there going to be live coverage via ESPN this year? I see the point that you guys are making obviously, and I don't know that we'll be seeing CNN time. Still though, seems to be a non-0 chance through major coverage that it gets a message out more-so than not wearing them or not vocalizing support for the cause.

I think you're almost certain to get some coverage on ESPN if you can get multiple people at a feature table to be wearing these shirts. You should have a few extra ones ready in case people find out they're at a feature table and want to change into them. Seems like a great idea to me.

Had a similar thought today with 1 saying, "Department of 'justice' LOL JK"

No intention of really acting on it or playing wsop

Anyways please do this lets see a sea of shirts to get the message across on worldwide TV

Also thought why not have pokerstars or full tilt names on them as well just to mess with em can they really say no? if it's not official logo's or company endorsed especially stars as they have paid players out of their own dime even after having millions stolen by the DOJ they deserve the support

Def prefer the poker's not a crime

I'd like to wear this for a televised tournament at the end of May. Any chance they could be done by then?

"Regulate Online Poker" certainly is infinitely better than 'legalize online poker' (which clearly isn't illegal...)

whoever made those shirts that were linked to the zazzle store really messed that part up




also, what about, on the back of the shirt, have the other stamp, like horizontally across the top (on back of the 'poker is not a crime' shirt have 'regulate it' on the back...and vice versa)

"Poker is not a Crime" is a much better catch phrase. +1 on a flashy color such as lime green or pink so that observers notice the shirts
+1, love the "poker is not a crime", but the "SUPPORT ONLINE" stands out by itself and isn't immediately associated with poker - looks really weird.

Try just moving the 'support online' below the poker table, if that doesn't help, maybe put support on one line and online poker on another? or 3 lines? I dunno, just looks weird right now

State regulation might be better than the status quo but I will certainly not endorse it.

I think the shirt should focus on the freedom to play poker, and don't think any references to specific sites, DOJ, and regulation are good ideas.

This is great idea and I am sure lots will be sold during WSOP...Kudos to OP...but given the severity of the issue and how much impact this campaign could potentially have, I hope someone who is a professional graphic artists/designer could design a kick-ass t-shirt...current version looks very amateurish. And we should spend a lot more time trying to get the right 'message' and slogan/writing, and hand it over to a pro to deign it.

I for one think that no part of the design should be from a particular poker site (i.e.; table or chip design from Stars, etc.), and no mention of PPA. This should be purely about 'Legalize and Regulate online Poker in U.S.A. ' 'It is a xxx billion dollar industry'

Talking with a designer atm who hopefully can get something done with the same theme but make it look "less amatuerish". I agree that getting a sweet shirt with the appropriate look/message across is important but I'm doing this as a bit of a hobby, not to make money and doing it on a pretty constrained time allowance so at some point I am going to have to go with something and hope people like it.

I like the Stars table which is only really noticeable to online poker players so doesn't really detract from the message IMO.

it'd be effective if you gave the players on tv tables and the FT them.

i would make it a reversible tee shirt with legalize poker on the front and legalize marijuana on the other side.

legalize poker up until the final table, then use the reversible tee and switch it up to legalize marijuana side
