Not trying to dampen anyone’s enthusiasm but rather concentrate it in the right channels. All the ideas have their merits and it shows what a clever and diverse group of people we have in our group but a few…

Points to ponder in deciding designs.

1. Why is the t shirt being produced?
2. What image/message are we trying to get across. IMO these two need to be decided/agreed first.
3. Will those who read the t shirt understand what is on it?
4. Are the words ‘punchy’ – have an impact
5. We understand words such as ‘pred’ but will anyone else? Should Jargon be used?
6. Will the wearer feel good in wearing it.
7. Subtle or brash message?

You raise some excellent points. Having this clear at the start will give the whole effort more meaning.

1. Raising awareness of the disease and (hopefully) this forum by adding the web address
2. Weggie's are people too!! We lead our new-normal lives and still have a sense of humour if we are on less than 20mg of Pred.
3. That's the trick! Wegener's Granulomatosis is a mouthful even for those of us who've been diagnosed with it, it's a real challenge for people that are completely unaware of it. Perhaps underneath 'Wegener's Granulomatosis' we have two or three 'headlines' of common symptoms e.g. bleeding lungs, failed kidneys, arthritis....yet still we live!!!
4. See above???
5. Replace the word 'Prednisone' with something more common? I was thinking 'steroid' but that raises other images than what we want to have.
6. If they look anything like Marta's I'll wear seven at once
7. Gotta be brash IMO. Gets the message out more effectively and would promote more questions/discussion about the shirt.

Just my 2 cents for now...

Thanks Hammy!!!
