So your in a band, Your playing shows and starting to create a stir in your town, You want to give the fans something back right? But more than that you want to make your band some money!

Once you have yourself a design, All you need to do is call the company and arrange the finer details such as Quantity and pricing's, You will be looking at roughly $430 for around 30 shirts, But at 25 dollars each you should be looking at a profit of around 320 bucks, So its defiantly worth the price plus its very good publicity for the band also.
