This is an idea for a CD evolution fund T shirt for Porcfest next year

I like all three.... I'd personally be a little averse to wearing cartoonish poop on my chest, but I can't speak for others. :-D

Hmmm.  The boot is nice because it brings to mind that Orwell quote "If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face— forever."  But I like the eagle as well because an eagle supposedly represents the United States as a whole but is generally used to represent only its government.  Having it attack the "Don't tread on me" snake makes that dichotomy clear.  So I'm going to go with that one, though I wish it had some color in it like the other two do.  Could the snake be green and black?

The caveat with the eagle shirt is that it's a ironically similar to the Mexican flag. I guess Mexico city has a foundational myth about an eagle eating a snake.

I happen to like this, because I imagine such a shirt would appeal to anti Fed Mexican immigrants and could open some doors.

Ben Franklin was not only a Libertine and a Patriot, but also a pretty wise SOB:
Quote

“For my own part I wish the Bald Eagle had not been chosen the Representative of our Country. He is a Bird of bad moral Character. He does not get his Living honestly. You may have seen him perched on some dead Tree near the River, where, too lazy to fish for himself, he watches the Labour of the Fishing Hawk; and when that diligent Bird has at length taken a Fish, and is bearing it to his Nest for the Support of his Mate and young Ones, the Bald Eagle pursues him and takes it from him.

“With all this Injustice, he is never in good Case but like those among Men who live by Sharping & Robbing he is generally poor and often very lousy. Besides he is a rank Coward: The little King Bird not bigger than a Sparrow attacks him boldly and drives him out of the District. He is therefore by no means a proper Emblem for the brave and honest Cincinnati of America who have driven all the King birds from our Country . . .

“I am on this account not displeased that the Figure is not known as a Bald Eagle, but looks more like a Turkey. For the Truth the Turkey is in Comparison a much more respectable Bird, and withal a true original Native of America . . . He is besides, though a little vain & silly, a Bird of Courage, and would not hesitate to attack a Grenadier of the British Guards who should presume to invade his Farm Yard with a red Coat on.”

-Benjamin Franklin in a letter to his daughter

Can you make versions with transparent backgrounds?

Absolutely. I'm going to put some work into the eagle one today. I figured it'd be on gold shirts.

It is funny that those colours are the national sporting colours of Australia and South Africa ie:green and gold.Sport is a national pastime akin to religion in both countries.
So I will enjoy wearing a turd on my chest in those colours even though Im nowhere near porcfest lol
