Swag Wars: The Pistons Strike Back

There have been a few requests for shirts made with the Star-Wars-esque, "Swag Wars: The Pistons Strike Back" logo.

Here is the original I posted to DBB:

Original Logo

For making it into a shirt, I wanted to thicken the blue lines and try incorporating the skull-and-crossbones. I also changed the "P" in "Pistons". This logo should look fine on a white shirt. For a black shirt, the blue disappeared, so I would change the lines from blue to white.

Here are the designs:

To make shirts, I'd go through teespring.com, which allows you to upload a design and then others can pledge to buy it from them. You can only use one design, so I would only make it available with white or black shirts, not both. I would get to set a price and a minimum number of orders needed to trigger actually making the shirts. The larger the minimum order number, the lower the price of the shirts, but you have to actually have to sell that many or no shirts get made at all. I would set the order period to be a week, then it would take another week or two for the shirts to be delivered.

For example: With a minimum of 10 shirts (American Apparel Crew, their most expensive brand of basic t-shirt), the cost would be $13.92/shirt. With a minimum of 20 shirts, the cost becomes $11.92/shirt. With a minimum of 1000 shirts, the cost becomes $8.92. And so it goes.

The information I need from the DBB community to set this up is:

A. which design do you like? (see poll)

B. How many shirts are you interested in, if any (to help set a reasonable minimum number of shirts)

C. Original P or new P? Any other design comments? Please leave these in the comments.

NOTE: Careful readers will notice that I screwed up the centering of the red text in the options given above. This will be fixed before uploading the design to teespring.
