I entered a sweet jersey in a design contest. I feel it is reflective of the “T-Nation” and would like to share it.
It can be seen here:
If you like it, click like on the company and on the design itself. Or, just look at it, and hopefully have a chuckle.
Cool idea, but the text is difficult to read.
I’ve been a graphic designer and illustrator for 27 years, and one of my beefs is modern font styles trying too hard to be hip, and thus lose legibility.
A client hires you to visually sell their products/services. What good does it do if the visual is strong, but there’s no connection behind the message and the source?
yeah dude i’m having a lot of trouble reading that.
however the comments are fucking hilarious.

Spend some time on your typography.
Too hard to read.
Horrible fonts.

Hey guys,
Thanks for the feedback.
With regards to the text, I literally spent an hour on the design and I had never used photoshop before. I sat down at a Mac on my campus and just went to town. Not wanting to spend much time on it, I used the first font that came up when I googled tribal font.
I actually think the font makes the whole thing a bit funnier/more realistic. How many of you have seen some curl monkey club douche out with a tattoo of something you can’t even read because it is stylized to a point where it is illegible? I also thought of adding some Japanese characters, but couldn’t find the space.
Anyways, it was done as sort of an inside joke for myself and a few friends. I am glad it produced a laugh, as that was my only real goal.
