Hop T-Shirt

"Hop on the wearer of this shirt!"

Haha, you guys are great. This is too much fun.

Alright, it was a pain in the ass but it was worth it. I had to make two separate stencils in order to be able to to the outline. I painted up a piece of cardboard quickly just to see how it was coming along. The real thing will come out much cleaner because I will take my time.

The hops in my beer is better than two in the bush.

Don't you mean: The hops in my beer is better than two Busch's?

Some other ideas:

"It ain't beer without hops"

This is my fav so far!

Maybe I missed one, but how about just.

"Humulus Lupulus"

I believe it's the latin or botanical name for hops.

Perhaps I do.
Or I could mean, "My hops is bigger than yours."
or "My hops kicks your rhizome's"

How about "Hopzilla"

"Theres nothing short about these hops"

the other green bud
like pork

No it's not [in] bud.

I actually liked you first version better. Just use green paint.

Here is one of my shirts minus a slogan.

"Continuously Hopped"
"Hop-head"
"Sex, Hops, Rock and Roll"
or for a slogan, just list your favorite hop variety.

for the POL?

I don't get what you mean

The stencil looks awesome, I'm just confused by your color choices for far. That last one looks like orange glitter paint on a navy t-shirt???

I think it would look awesome if you did a light green hop on a dark green shirt. Or vice versa. Just my .02

I would put "Wanna Dry Hop?" on it

Totally awesome designs.

Hop You
Hopped Up
Hop Yours

Don't worry ... be hoppy ?

How about:

"Triple hopped? Really?"
"I'm ready for Zombiepacolypse. Are you?"

I like the design! How about: "Real men/Real women drink hoppy beer"

"hop to it muthaf**ker"

maybe a little too vulgar, but something to consider.

cool idea and it looks nice.

"Hop on!"
Double meaning kinda deal.

Its a horrible picture thanks to my iPhone. It is actually a dark green shirt with a light brown paint.

I have another dark green shirt and green paint that I was going to try tonight. I will post a picture if I get around to it.

Looks great!

How about "Hops... Way cheaper than therapy"

Odell's brewery in Ft. Collins has a shirt like this. Their caption simply reads: "Brewed with whole flower hops". My wife bought the shirt... probably the sexiest thing I've seen her in

Odell Brewery? I wonder if I'm related. By Grandpa was an Odell.

How about "IT'S NOT A PINE CONE!"

"Blood may contain high IBUs"

I want to suggest something like, "My blood can be measured in IBUs" but it is a bit long.

Jared311,

I had this interesting thought recently about your t-shirts. How about developing a dye system from specialty grains!! I am guessing the cotton would be stained by the grain colors. My muslin bag was stained rather well. Then you would have a hop shirt stained to different *L colors. Stout shirts to blondes. Just a thought that I couldn't repress.

That's a great idea but I wonder how you could contain the wet dye to the specific area of the stencil without "bleeding". Seem like the design would come out cloudy...like a tie-dye maybe? Do you know how you could prevent it?

I was thinking he could have his design screen printed on the dyed t-shirt. Something I forgot to mention in my last post.

The next idea would be to make 200 or so and sell them online. Have several of the logos suggested in this thread and sell them here and/or on Ebay.

I get it...lovibond tie-dyes with a hop logo! Or even solid dyed shirts...That is a fantastic idea! May have to try that but don't worry...you get full credit for that if I do.

LOL! Thanks. I just wanted to get that thought out of my head, since I doubt I will ever use it. Have at it

Right, in my copious spare time (HA!)...

But my daughter is just getting to the age where she likes to create so we do things together like baking bread or things like that. I'm always trying to find things that will keep her interested and she can anticipate the outcome (and even wear it in this case...). Plus it teaches a recycling message which can never go wrong these days!

Do you have a high res scan of your stencils?
Lookin' good
