        Funding fecked.

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

            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…

                        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?

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

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

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

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

                                        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.

                                        RnR

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

                                            great one there RnR…

                                            I'm still with my suggestion though (okay maybe the ship/your front print and/or other lettering on the back!)

                                            @Finn666:

                                            what about this…

                                            clean and simple
