• Thank you very much | Diolch yn fawr

    All at JackArmy.net would like to thank everyone who has played a part on this site over the past 25 years whether that is through writing, contributing, moderating, posting or just visting and reading.

    Without any of you the work that has gone into the site would have been pointless and we will always be proud that we built, generated and managed a community that was such a big part of the Swansea City supporting life for so long.

    It has been a pleasure to bring to you the site for so long but the time is now right to turn the lights out for the last time but we do it both with a heavy heart and a sense of pride driven by the so many messages received since we announced the closure.

    The site will remain here for a period until we archive and mothball it for the last time later this summer but all aspects are in a read only format.

    Thank you though for all the memories

    Phil Sumbler
    Owner, jackarmy.net

These are probably not marketed for someone of my age, but the designs are pretty plain / boring. It's just writing on a plain white tee.

Get some graphics on them, or break them up with some colour. You need to make them stand out from all the other Welsh themed stuff that's knocking about. Got to be honest, the ones which catch my eye the most are the ones with a welsh take on famous brands, but that's just me.

Keep at it, don't let the grumps like me put you off.

Thanks.

It's all a big head scratcher - any club logos or lookalikes and the club will be after me, likewise image rights people could be on my case if I'm not careful. Playing in black and white doesn't help on the colourful front.

I've faked being an illustrator for years but I'll continue hunting for local talent to do it properly.

Thanks again.
 
They're computer mock-ups at the moment? Would look better if you actually printed some, they would then look more authentic, especially if photographed properly.
 
Also, I wouldn't emblaze the word "f*****g" on a t-shirt. Nothing to do with being prudish, it's just that the wearer would likely get arrested, offend people with young children, and looks just immensely tacky and childish. But that's only my opinion, for what it's worth.

Duly noted and shirts removed.

I've printed at least one of each style or type to master being able to print them on demand, too expensive to print them up first on spec. I've printed plenty of stuff already for other people along the way. I just keep the transfers, etc in stock to apply when or if ever ordered.

Moving back to my own house next month after looking after my late parents for seven years so I'll be more organised for getting my mountain of studio gear out of storage.


Thanks.
 
Some nice designs and the typefaces are great for things like 'Lush" and 'Die Hard"

Less keen on the Swans ones to be honest. You could reflect the Swansea/NPT area a bit more rather than the 'Twin Town' focus. You could probably streamline a little with fewer on each area. Worth a look a Bagsy 'https://www.bagsybags.com'. from Rhondda who has a smaller range with specials.

Best of luck with it and may buy one next summer
