Help us choose a T-Shirt

Anglers Resource is trying to decide on a T-Shirt and, frankly, we're having a hard time making up our mind. So, we thought maybe you all could help (we don't seem to be short on opinions around here). I have uploaded a number of choices to the photo gallery and would appreciate it if you would visit and send an email to info@anglersresource.net with your (letter A, B etc) choice in the subject line. Most of the shirts have a "K-Series" theme since we tend to promote that most these days, but we've tried to keep them subtle in message so you don't feel like a walking billboard when you wear one of them. By the way, K-Series guides have a 17-degree slope and that's where the K17, SLOPE HEAD and "seventeen degrees" shirts are coming from (maybe a little too sublte?). Using our email will keep the whole thing unbiased, I'll post the winner in a week or so. We are also thinking about offering these in a "green" version. Fuji is very sensitive to the environment and is going "green" so we are considering a bamboo,hemp,cotton blend that is enviro-friendly. A very nice shirt.

One last thing, I can't click the pic to enlarge in my computer for some reason but when I go down to the little printer icon and click there, I get a nice big pic I can see well.

Thanks for your help. Click the link below

While some are better than others,one is not acceptable. That one is choice "C". I won't call it blatant racism. However,I would have to say its derogatory. Considering you are attempting to promote a product produced in Japan,that seems to be self defeating. Perhaps if the manufacturers name wasn't obviously Japanese......Just sayin......

That one went right by me, but you're right. After the better part of a couple years in Japan (which I loved!) I agree that "Slope Head" is DEFINITELY derogatory!!!!

Going green with bamboo and hemp in one product is sure to cause some air pollution at its point of recycle.
