Still gotta go with the G for sure - It's original and cool. Also the barcode is sweet. If you end up with a shirt with both of those on it - I'll buy for sure.

Maybe putting the G symbol 3inx3in on the shirt in the top right area, then the barcode design on the back...

Also - What size air compressor is needed? Will a 1.7 running HP,26 Gal. air compressor with air delivery of 5.6/3.8 SCFM @ 40/90 PSI (max pressure 150psi) work?

I'm looking for something stiff but responses (more to the stiff side though). Would 3 materials be best? A flexier one in the center, then two ve...
