Title: So I made a YY tee shirt
Post by: AMightyCaporal on Mar 04, 2010, 09:16 AM
I just wanted ya'll to see, if there is enough interest in this then I think I'll go to the management and see what I should do next. let me know what ya'll think, would love some criticism if anyone's got it.

I love it.  I think I like it better without the My Morning Jacket text but no big deal either way.

I agree with BH.

"it's just the way that he sings..."  on the back, maybe?  That's just the first thing that popped in my head when seeing this.

Great job!

Good stuff!

One suggestion I would make though is to change "My Morning Jacket" to "Yim Yames".  I know Jim doesn't like to use his likeness in MMJ stuff, especially if the other band members aren't prominently featured as well.

yea thats what I wasn't sure about, I'm trying to come up with a full band tee... so if people want to submit the best picture they can find of each band member (especially patrick's clock arms) I would really appreciate that!

Love the design. Black is much better. Maybe just put MMJ on the bottom right and a lyric quote on the back would be cool. Or something like MMJ=Face Melting. I would def buy one

Real nice. Different. At first on the black I could not make out JJ. Then on the white it jumped at me! But now I like the black better. Maybe I'm confused........!!

I think it would better without the text, gets folks to ask.
Title: Re: So I made a YY tee shirt

seems that the best is to remove text then! i'm not going to post another picture without it so ya'll can just imagine what it looks like  ;)

But seriously, hopefully someone in the band or management will pick this up and run with it.  Best of luck!

I'm also guessing that you can't use his image or name on a shirt you intend to sell.  Worth running by management, for sure...maybe they'll decide to pick up your design and sell it themselves!

Great design, man!   :)

Quotehaven't heard back from MMJ management.  I hope they respond soon. Anyone have any suggestions about that?

If youre not selling them for profit (which I dont believe you are), and just charging the people youre making them for what it cost to produce them (actual shirt + printing), then I dont think there is any problem on the legality side.

I could be wrong, but I think thats basically correct because you just shouldnt be making money off MMJ's name/brand
Title: Re: So I made a YY tee shirt
Post by: aMillionDreams on Mar 08, 2010, 08:49 PM
If it's not for profit you should be okay.  Management has a guy who checks out the boards and if he hasn't contacted you to tell you he has a problem, you're probably okay.  If you're wanting to actually make contact with management about design opportunities, pm me, I may be able to help.
Title: Re: So I made a YY tee shirt
Post by: Sassbox on Mar 09, 2010, 06:59 PM
Personally, I'd wait to hear from management. We have a couple of attorneys on this board, don't we? Has anyone asked them?

It's not necessarily true that not profiting does not violate copyright laws, btw.
Title: Re: So I made a YY tee shirt

So if I put a picture of Bob Dylan on a shirt and sell it, that's violating copyright laws?  So every rock and roll t-shirt out there is paying a royalty to the artist?

To some degree, all of the legal ones...YES!

For some reason, I dont think MMJ will feel slighted if 40 rabid Jacketeers show up at MPP with the shirt that AMC made though

Post by: AMightyCaporal on Mar 11, 2010, 07:13 AM
well folks, I went to management anyway because I want this design to be printed on a better quality tee with a better quality printing technique than I can afford.  I don't have the money to get the shirts ordered and printed and then shipped out to everyone... if I had a job then maybe I could do it another time or if management doesn't want to do the shirts then I'll have to work something else out.

What if everyone who is interested pays for their shirt/s up front if management doesn't want to participate?  That way you wouldn't be out any dough and you would have a solid number as far as quantity is conerned.  In the mean time we'll just hope that they're on board.

I'm not an attorney, though with as little as I know about copyright, you cannot reproduce someone's image/likeness without their express consent.  While profit does play a part, that is not the only consideration.

Regardless of if the band "minds," there are other considerations and, since we are fans of this band, we ought to be mindful of those. Well, we should be mindful, regardless.

I think the design is great, btw.

QuoteSo if I put a picture of Bob Dylan on a shirt and sell it, that's violating copyright laws?  So every rock and roll t-shirt out there is paying a royalty to the artist?  

A licensing fee, yes.

It's a dilution issue - if people go around bootlegging shirts with bands' names and images on them, not only will people be less likely to buy official merch (so the band loses money) but the band can't control the quality of the merch and in turn the quality associated with their name and brand.  Many bands tend to be protective of their intellectual property since they make more money on merch than CD sales.

I know we don't like to think of it like a business, but it is.

All that said, we know AMC has the best of intentions (not to mention a kickass design!) and by taking this to management he's avoiding potential trouble down the road.  Best of luck to you!   :)

Last time I spoke with management, which was maybe a month ago they said that they were showing Jim the design so he could give his yes or no.  Haven't heard anything since then.  I figured that with the tour starting and all of the other things he's got on his plate, he may not have had time or he has made a decision and management is just as busy to get back to me at the moment.  I'll probably email them again soon and hopefully will get a solid answer either way.

Thanks so much Johnny!  If you want to hear a shipping horror story ask BananaBear how much it will cost her to get the preorder UPS'd to her

Doubt there will be much demand in Europe for the deluxe package  even if it was personally delivered by Jim that's still a sin and a shame.

Thanks to MissBananaBear for digging this thread up...  So the shirt has been printed and looks like can only be bought now at http://www.jimjames.com/ (http://www.jimjames.com/) as part of the Limited package.  Thanks to all for the support when this first came up - very exciting to wake up and find that it has actually been used!

WOW! That is so cool, you have to feel so great about this shirt being used by Jim! Love the design and I will proudly be wearing this!

Thank you!  They had bought the design from me but never said anything about how or when it might be used.  The design was created a while ago so I just assumed that they probably buy designs like this to have for future use or to just hold on to just in case.  It was a complete surprise to see it this morning though

It certainly is a tremendous honor - I'm so excited to have had the chance to give back to a band/artist that has given me so much. Thank you for the kind words - I'm so happy to hear that folks like the design

AMC...I think you shirt design is one of the coolest designs for a rock n roll t-shirt ever. I hope you do them in every color because I like to buy clothes I love in every color. It's my version of brown pants and a black tshirt. (: But seriously, you should be so proud of this accomplishment. You deserve to be recognized for your talent because your work is brilliant. Keep it up! I can't wait to see more!!!!

*note: super-cool of Jim to pick a fan to design his shirts. Much respect for that.

What a incredibly kind compliment!  Thank you so much!  The printing and color choices are out of my hands now as the design belongs to... uh... I dunno who, but definitely not me.  However - I promise to try to create some equally cool designs in the future.  Suggestions welcome!

I have been told that they will eventually be selling shirts separately - not sure when though.

It does look that way, but it's probably just the mockup.  They were selling your shirt at Johnny Brendas (and it was a regular fit just like the one in the deluxe package).
