about Lemon Aid
I am too too excited this week since I like almost every shirt design enough to buy them, and this one is no different.

My only pause is wondering if this shirt has the back print of the hospital sign made out of lemons. I'm assuming it doesn't since there are no pictures of it? Make no mistake, the tart and witty pun on the front is enough for a shirt purchase, but the back of the shirt was such the deal-sealer and brought the whole idea over-the-top Stallone style. O well, congrats anyways Jeff, love this tee and love Spiritual Symphony as well which i recently wore to the Rouge Wave/Death Cab For Cutie concert!

no back print, we felt it was too close to the Red Cross

We had to nix the back print because the Red Cross is ultra strict about that symbol... esp. when used alone.

Well, the red cross on white is protected under the Geneva Convention. But this isn't red

Oh, I didn't realize the Red Cross had a monopoly on the plus sign! Especially on shirt that is as serious as a fun word pun. Dammit, that really sucks.



O well, thanks for clearing that up guys! I still love this tee, I'm just sorta bummed now for what coulda been. I'll most likely still pick it up tho...

red cross should chill the fuck out

and red crescent

and red lion with sun

and red shield of david



plus, it's not red. plus, in this design it's actually a proper context.

So.......





Why is the Red Cross logo on the flag on the front?



How is that one ok and the back print somehow a legal wrangle?

i'm okay with no back print. (wish the girls was pink tho) even tho i hate pink. it would've been kinda cool to have pink lemonade
shirtflirt
shirtflirt on Jun 16 '08 at 2:03pm
wouldn't it be pink lemonade anyway with the wounded lemon? hmmmmm

Congratz on the print. Its in my cart, but I don't think I'll be able to get it any time soon, so hopefully it doesn't sell out.



Not to be obsessive about the whole red cross thing, just curious, what about shirts that say like "Beach Rescue" and have and actual red cross on them?

I think it does have the back print.

skeev on Jun 16 '08 at 2:10pm
First, you show the symbol on the front...so if there is a problem with using the symbol you've already violated it.



Second, from what I've seen legal problems have come up with people using the "RED" cross. Not the symbol. This was a "YELLOW" cross.



I think they just didn't want to do a back print, which is fine to admit.

If by superfluous you mean "awesome in every way and an amazing compliment to the picture on front", I agree with you guys!

The illustration stands on it's own, in my opinion.

Whatever reason it is -- it should never have the backprint ever!!! It's destiny!

gnah gnah





(and the reason is: it looks too much like the red cross, in case you missed that)

That never answered my question on why the cross was printed in the front.
FRICKINAWESOME
   FRICKINAWESOME on Jun 17 '08 at 1:03pm
I think because it's because the back one was by itself skeev.

I'm glad they nixed the lemon cross, that was the only thing that I thought hurt the design. Now I can buy this!
