Physicists - Pictures!

I finally ordered one of the Physicist shirts for myself, something I've been meaning to do since we got this awesome shirt in the store. The shirts came out great! I can't tell you how happy I am with these shirts. I originally ordered a single Navy Blue shirt, intending it to look authentic. I was very surprised when I received an email from our vendor telling us the Navy Blue looked terrible! He indicated the colors did not look right at all, apparently the Navy Blue of the shirt was the *exact same* Navy Blue as the logo, making the shirt look like part of it was just shiny, and not colored right at all. Now if you know anything about color correction in fabric printing you'll know how unlikely this was. When you work on shirts on a computer your screen displays colors one way, which translates to ink a different way, when then gets printed on colored fabric, which is a whole different kind of color translation! Getting an image on your shirt to look like the image on your monitor can be quite the challenge, I almost didn't believe the colors could match so closely. Instead our vendor sent me two shirts, one printed on Ash, and one on Royal Blue. After taking a close look at the two shirts I understood what he meant, I could see how the colors would not look correct printed on the same color background. My solution was rather simple, I've removed all of the Navy colored shirt options, so you can no longer get this tee shirt on a Navy background. For now I left the Navy Uniform as it's probably a slightly different color, if we get an order for one I'll ask for our vendors professional option on how it looks before shipping it out, as it might not be as good as it should be. These shirts came out fantastic, they were so good I felt I needed to take pictures to show you just how beautiful they came out. Here's my best attempt at some photos!

Just look at how beautiful they came out, great job Greg! I am absolutely in love with these great shirts, I really can't tell you how much I enjoy wearing these out. I have still yet to get the mistaken sports fan having something to say to me, I'm going to enjoy that. I'm also still waiting for the geek double-take, I think that will be my favorite reaction. Now that spring is here I'll be wearing these shirts out a lot more often, so it's only a matter of time before I get some comments on it!

Go Team Science!
