For what? For whom?

I don't suppose you still have time to change that theme idea, do you?

I don't know why, but I keep having the image of a large slushy popping into my head. Go figure.

I say this as someone who was in college when "Don't Stop Believin'" first came out (and boy do I feel old now): I think it's probably impossible to avoid the Glee connection these days. I mean, even if you don't incorporate it at all into the shirt, it's the first think most people will think of anyway.

But that said, you'd get responses that are more helpful if you answered AnotherKD's questions. For what and for whom do you want these shirts?

Go with a black t-shirt with cyan, blue, and white ink. Write out "don't stop believing" in a cool font and then have your organization's name under it. Use lightning bolts, paint splatters and halftone.

I thought Sopranos before Glee. (Never saw Glee... But man, I loved the resurgence of that song after that crappy ending of that show!)

I only thought of Journey, I've never watched Glee or Sopranos.

You all can go to hell.

Yes, but I don't think that either of you are part of the target demographic for this tee shirt -- college students. And I think the typical college student, born well after Journey's heyday, will associate the song with Glee.

And you are both out of touch with contemporary pop culture. So there. Ha!

And I will completely agree with you! I can't help it if my mind is stuck in the 90s and I think people like Jordan Catalano, and not any of the current popular tv characters, make my heart melt.

I don't want to wish anyone else to go to hell, haha, but Journey was my very first thought too.

I don't associate it with Glee. I have never been nor do I think I will ever be a Gleek. I've been in show choirs, and that ain't it. I do think Sue's character is funny though, and what a lovely name too.

lol

Also, I'm a college student & I thought Journey?
I don't see why the song would be connected to Glee. Yes they recorded a version of it, but Glee does tons of song covers....
Doesn't make them their songs...

Sorry gang, but this makes me think of the Steelers first and foremost. Everything else is secondary.

Okay, okay, so maybe I overestimated how connected it is to Glee, and (I'm glad to say) underestimated recognition of Journey.

But as for Glee, yes, they've done lots of covers, but "Don't Stop Believin'" was pretty much the theme song for the first season, sung first as the climax of the pilot (which aired in May before the season really got started in September, but which got lots of internet play) again mid-season, and then a third time the high point of Regionals in the Season 1 finale. It was also the first single they ever released, and was used throughout Season 1 in commercials and promos.
