I like the shirt design, just not the font. Save the Old English font for gang-banger graffiti and prison tattoos.

Wait - weren't you the one that said that the nickname Fiji is gay and your chapter doesn't use it??

Other than that, I think the whole design is amazingly cliche and cheesy.

If you insist on it though (yes, I know you suggested above that you'd be willing to scrap it, but I have a feeling you'll come back and defend every crticism of it, which says otherwise)...as others have suggested - change the font. The only other thing you MIGHT add is either a palm tree or a lime. One or the other though, because ottherwise it's going to get cluttered.

Islander shirt

PHI GAM,

First, some posters don't understand that nearly all Phi Gamma Delta chapters celebrate with a "FIJI ISLAND" event, whether they prefer to be knows as Phi Gams or Fijis. There are, geographically, FIJI ISLANDS; nobody ever heard of PHI GAM ISLANDS!

So--decide on something that is definitely in the tropical-island-hula-sand-palm tree theme. Corona is OK, but not as tropical as--say-- some kind of rum. Maybe you could tie in the lime that is always a part of the Conona experience? There are great Fiji Island shirts that have included palm trees, coconuts, hula girls, sunsets, outriggers, grass huts, etc. The play on "get lei'd" is clever and certainly works, but it has been used from coast to coast for years.

You have a good start--think outside the box a little and just play with your ideas. Bright colors are also typical of Fiji Island shirts. Good luck; you have a nice start. And the comments about the Cornoa font are correct--it is a little difficult to read.

Yeah, yeah...I get it. It's usually gay unless it's convient for a party theme. Because all Greeks must have parties, and all parties must have themes. Swell.
