So, some of you may remember t's old tshirt that he thought up and had his brother make for him. The slogan was "Lexington (really large text) It's just a suburb (small text)" and the shirt's only graphic was a straight line with a single blue monolith in the middle, representing the horizon and Lexington's silhouette with its only "large" 5th/3rd building. This was during the hype before the Louisville-Jefferson County merger, when Lexington (which already had combine city/county) claimed they would be larger than Louisville in a few years. I had in my mind a series of shirts to follow, and due to a recent discovery of the
www.whylouisville.com, I thought I might submit some design ideas. So here is one of the ideas I've had for a while, though I'm not sold on the slogan (maybe add a question mark after Lexington), I like the basic theme and the graphic.
Here is a sample of what the shirts might look like. The SSL is a rough draft of my Southside Louisville logo. I considered similar shirts for different regions including "Lexington? I'd rather be in J-town" with a gaslight graphic... I'm openly soliciting opinions
UPDATE: Response from whylouisville.com
"we get enough grief about our Keep Lexington Lame shirt!
Dont want to over do it so we'll pass"
Denied!

Lexington: I'd rather spend my time at Phoenix Hill hanging with cooler, smarter, and much more sophisticated people
Lexington: Where we hump UK's leg.
You could like Lexington for the same reason you like Philly: it's close to other, cooler stuff.
Also, love the t-shirt, but the "I'd rather kick it Southside" is just a little *too* small.
Lexington: Inferior since 1782.
I'm not sure its emo enough for that website. try a black shirt instead, that should do it.
