Iron Heart Gosport Tee Shirt

[J-IV]

Looks good! Nice work, Redstripe

[TinMan]

G why is the Navy going away?  did funding get cut? I hope it does not go away all together…..

[Giles]

Funding fecked.

I'll try and find some photos of this place in its heyday.  Mind blowing…..

[madmonday]

Oh, and I found this while searching:

Gosport is the largest town in Britain without an operational railway station.

oh, and is this the right Gosport?:

Nice find Gosport has changed a fair bit since this this was  taken 40 years ago! If you look carefully at the top of the photo you can just about make out "The Castle" . And yes Gosport is the largest town without an operational railway station, not something we are particularly proud of!

Not sure if this is the same boat from Gosport but I think it's pretty sweet.

Blue shirt. Big red lightship with maybe a busted out lamp on top…

Mme B says - very clever…

[FurattoHeddo]

Scroogen, you have my vote!

[Chris]

I like the potential in this one.  Good idea, Scroogen.

Hmmm, maybe there could be some way to work in the Japanese rising sun image?

[Simon]

Like it Scroogen, the one in Gosport is Green, but nice idea.

[scroogen]

I think a pocket tee with a union jack and rising sun flag on the pocket would be cool. Maybe something more subtle.

[derivative666]

What ever it is please let there be XXL

[MikeC]

Scroogen is right on with this one. I think the Japanese market would want too.

[MikeC]

^ I was referring to the lightship one.

[Wavey_lenz]

I personally think it would be poor form to release a tee with any sort of rising sun image on it.

Gosport

Little Town.  Big Jeans.

[RocknRoll]

Some great ideas. I think we could combine a couple of these concepts,

i.e. Redstripes idea:

and Scroogens idea:

I'd like a simple design, in keeping with the idea that "less is more".

Front: a little logo positioned like the forum t-shirts. Perhaps the IH motif with the letters GSC over it.

Back: a larger design with the silhouette of a large (perhaps military?) ship, with IRON HEART in large lettering along the side of the ship.

Keep it subtle - no direct mention of Gosport, but people in the know will  know what it's about.

PS: in case it's not obvious, GSC = Gosport Stubborn Crew

[Giles]

Nice.  I promise I'll get onto this soon…
