Default New Idea

I had the idea of starting a business to make t-shirts featuring exotic cars. Most of the current shirts I have seen out there suck. This guy on ebay makes cheap looking car t-shirts and makes a lot of money. I just completed on idea and thought I would throw it out there to see if anyone likes it.

Front:


Back:


Not sure if that saying is too cheeesy, thought about also just putting a logo on the front then having "The British Are Coming" on the back. Tell me what you think.

The idea is a good one, but pretty risky! As pointed out by jamberl, MAJOR copyright problems...

there are plenty of Tshirts like this with, sometimes, pretty funny sayings. If you are good in making jokes and so you can try it but dont know about the cars

I would never wear a T-Shirt of a manufacturer unless ...

1 - It was a ferrari piece of clothing and i owned a ferrari... i would only wear it in/near the ferrari

2 - If i was at a car event where it was appropriate to wear it

Please don't. I like cars and I like T shirts, but they don't go together. That's why Ferrari and Lambo clothes don't have their cars on them, just the logos.
