Favorite color combinations for letters?
 

I found this great site where you can actually see it before you buy it...

Anyway, I can't decide what color letters/backgrounds would go good on black sweatshirts, any ideas?

that's a cute little site. i just couldn't get the "checkout" part to work for me. ah well.

How about pink letters with a blue border and then a white border surrounding the blue? Since you only have two greek letters to work with, you'd have room for the extra border.

I checked out that site and I LOVE the little ladybugs on a red background. That's what I would get if I were shopping. If you don't want a pattern, you can always have white on red or red on white. That's bold and stands out. Another suggestion is to select your sorority's colors. That's always a safe bet. Happy shopping! :D

I am not sure if that site is actually up and running, my sorors and I have been trying to get to the checkout part on that since sometime last year. So I dunno , it might not be fully finished or something. As for fave letter patterns or colors. My fave shirt actually has the letters in a glittery like pink and then with a white border on a baby blue shirt. (Thanks Eirene_DGP, for that one * )

I really liked the little ladybugs on red too! Now, how would that look on black? I can't decide if I like it or not.

My family letters are on a black sweatshirt, and everyone says they are the BEST... anyways, it's a tie-dye background and black letters, so you really stand out. They're HOT.

My best friend is a DG, so I give your permission to use them :);)

My family letters are on tie dye on black as well, and I must say, they are AWESOME!! Everyone loves them :) Of course, the sweatshirt is sorta faded a little b/c it's older, but it still looks great!!

Although not my personal style, I like the animal print ones on black backgrounds. Those look really cool! :)

The best site I have found for color combinations is www.somethinggreek.com. You can look at all of their different patterens. As my soror DGP honey mentioned, they have just about any color in glitter and that is really nice.

Do it! I think that it is so cute and unique! It would look great!

Thanks! I just ordered that black sweatshirt with the lady bugs on red.

I like the way the animal print looks on black as well, but that's so not my style.

I wan't to order a bunch of stuff now! he he, this is addicting...:p

You're welcome. I hope you love your new letters! They looked so cute on that website. Enjoy! And a good rule is no more than two new sweatshirts a semester. Unless they are really cute and you just can't stop yourself...:p

He he, thanks again Creme!:) I actually just bought that hooded sweatshirt & a t-shirt, I was good:p I'll just consider it a late x-mas gift to myself;)

My school goes by quarters...so I guess that means I'm allowed to get 6 sweatshirts a year (2 each qtr) instead of just 4 per year like you...lol..:o

Well, I've been an active for about a year now...this will be my first hooded sweatshirt, so I'm actually behind...he he

I got matching black hooded sweatshirts with ladybug patterns on red for my and my big sis for her birthday. She loves it and I do to, I also got big sis embrodered (sp?) on her pocket and lil sis on my pocket everyone was was jelous of her and everyone just thinks they are the cutest letters ever enjoy!

Anyone figure out how to order these letters? Initiation is January 12 and I need to order some family letters!

pbpck - It took me a while but I got it:o When you get to the end (when your choice letter patterns show up) scroll all the way to the top...you'll see an "add to cart" button on the upper right hand corner where you're also asked to choose your size.:) Hope that helped...

Sadly my days of ordering letters as an active is in the past. :( I'm glad that I could help you with your decision, DGpledge. I hope you like your ladybugs! I probably have a dozen sets of letters that I still treasure. :)

Thanks so much DGpledge! I am going to try it right now!

PS: Half of my best friends at school are DGs. Your chapter is awesome on my campus...even though we always want the same girls!;)

Ack...it won't let me pay for anything. I get to the check out place but it says that my total is 0.00 and there is no shipping or billing info to fill in.

pbpck - that means it's free! ;)

Wish I'd thought of the black/tie-dye letters... sounds very spiffy. I have something not totally dissimilar... found a floral print where the background of the print is black, and had that as the letters, on a white background, on a black sweatshirt.

When my sorority was a new colony, our TEC (who went to UF, I believe) told us that the big thing when she was an active was white letters, white background, on a white shirt. I never quite understood why... it's not like you can see the letters if it's all the same color... :confused:
