good memory
i did contact them and a replacement is in the works
and the front pocket logo was/is also screwed up
but I did not mention that
When I setup these shirts with TVWBB logo on front pocket and Smoke Day logo on back, I remember you having a problem in the past where the pocket logo was too high on the chest or something like that? How is it screwed up this time? A photo would help...you can post here or PM or email me. Because there is the option of moving that pocket logo to the front center of the shirt, or to leave the front completely blank. For the money spent on these shirts, they should be done right.

ok, here it is. pardon the wrinkles, I removed it from the wash hamper...
that is where the block logo is. Too high (close to the neck/shoulder) and tight (close to the armpit) in my opinion.
It's called a pocket logo for a reason. To appear where the pocket would be.
This ▼ is where I would place the logo (photo was taken using a mirror)
I've started a conversation with Cafepress about the pocket image placement. We'll see what they have to say. I will say that your photo doesn't seem to match the image shown on their website.

Are there patches this year?
No, don't be sorry. I want to get to the bottom of this pocket image situation. I learned a lot by talking with their representative, and I've forwarded your photos so they can take a look. It may have something to do with the size of my image and how it's placed on larger shirt sizes. The placement in your photos does not seem to match the placement shown online.sounds to me I started some trouble...
sorry
No, I've not ordered patches this year. Didn't sell enough of them last year to cover the cost.

Jim and JR, can you let me know the shirt size? You can PM me if you don't want to post here.
Great news! That does look better.
A while back, I said I've got a $15 Starbucks gift card for the first person who can correctly and specifically identify the inspiration behind "man chasing pig" in this year's WSM Smoke Day 13 t-shirt design.
Hint #1 was "50¢".
Here's Hint #2: "1960".

The only connection I can make is JFK on the half dollar, and the Bay of Pigs Invasion.

ok, since no one else will say it, I will.
The inspiration behind your new smoke day t-shirt design is:
In 1960 (or thereabouts), Floyd McMartinston was vacationing in the north woods of California when Phoebe, a housebroken Yiddish Pot-Bellied pig came to Floyd's camp site.
Floyd took one look at Phoebe and after crying aloud, "PIG! PIG!", he decided to butcher the porker and eat her for lunch.
Witnesses in the area said Floyd went absolutely haywire and started handing over 50¢ to each that would help him catch the pig.
Really, Chris, I don't want the starbucks card (their stuff is too strong for me). But thanks anyway. People need to know the true story behind the new design.
