We’re excited to be adding T-shirts to our Romney 2012 store very soon! We’ve made 9 designs (variations) of T-shirts and need your help deciding which we should produce first. Below you will see the 8 designs and the polling questions follow them. Let us know the your order of preference and we will most likely start production with the 2-3 most popular designs. Thanks for your help!
Please let us know your top 3 preferences by answering these 3 poll questions:

Have to have a pink one for the ladies. “Mom’s for Mitt”!
Grey for the men, pink for the ladies and stars and stripes for formal occasions. :)
Go MITT…!!! The shirts look great.

Can they put Romney 2012 in the back instead of 12, or anything that promotes Romney for president in 2012. Folks will read the back of the shirt more than the front when your walking around. Just a suggestion, otherwise the shirt looks great. Lets flood the world with this shirt to get a head start on Mitt.
Great shirts!
Great idea guys!! Love ‘em all but definitely like the Stars and Stripes the best… then the pink and then the grey :)
The navy colored one looks too much like Dallas Cowboys. Won’t wear it… and I’m from Texas. Love the “Ringer” shirt, though.
I now wish I would have picked a couple up last year. These are great too!
I love the whole whole concept of a sports shirt with the number, great idea, not “preachy” and very attractive! Oh, and has no one ever seen Napoleon Dynamite?
I can’t vote because apparently the votes are accepted per public IP address and my wife already voted. Here are my choices (in no particular order):
Romney 12 Ringer
Stars Stripes
Vote for Mitt
Sorry, but these are all pretty bad. Very generic and played out clichés. How about getting a real designer and making something clever, creative, a work of art…
@Ben
Honesty is always appreciated.
1- Since my personal finances do not allow for me to “hire” a real designer, and I know of no one else that would, and since this site costs money instead of making money… I am the designer we are stuck with.
2- There is a simple fact that a nice designer shirt will simply cost more to make, the price therefore would be too high, and people would not by them, and we’d be worse off than we are with what we have. There are reasons people stick to the basics.
@Nate Gunderson
Very fair points and no intent to offend. My suggestion would be that you may make more from the shirts (more expensive, but greater value) and better advance the cause with professional designs, but it’s just a different business model. Thanks for what you do here.
@Ben
I’ll be honest. I absolutely love the basic design for all of the top 6 choices. The other ones I don’t really like at all. However, I don’t think Nate has anything to apologize for with the basic design on the top 6 choices. I cannot wait to get one. It probably helps that I’m a huge sports fan and I always have 12 on the back of my jersey. The shirts remind me of a jersey and the only thing I can think of that would be even cooler would be to put the same design on a jersey. It would be very expensive and I might be one of the only people to pay that much for one, but I really to like the design.
The Maroon (red) one sends the message that this is the man we want representing our party in 2012. While it is important to put SOME blue on yard signs as we approach key November elections, this is a good era to differentiate our candidates from the socialists on the left — especially this early in the primary cycle.
I would guess that you can make the blue, maroon, and pink shirts with one set-up fee because all of them are using the same white printing. The blue appears to be ahead in the early voting. If the blue continues to be the first choice, I’d suggest running a batch of all three colors. I might even add a bright red and a bright green with the same white letters.
At some point, a fancier design might have value, but these more generic designs accomplish the goal of getting people to ask about our support for Mr. Romney. They help create “buzz.” I hate the idea of people just following the “buzz” on important decisions about our nation’s future, but for now, we have to play that game to some extent.
