    I think the idea, Jock, is that if something is infinite it is never ending or "Forever" hence "Scotland Forever" as in the thread title. Hope this is not getting too close to the current debate.
    If you are going to do it, do it in a kilt!

    I am sorry my train of thought was going down the line of the title of the famous picture of the charge of the Royal Scots Greys at Waterloo! No wonder I did not get it!

    It made sense to me immediately. Sideways 8 is infinity. Cool t-shirt.

    Makes total sense to me, as long as the 8 lies flat and not at an angle.

    It's imaginative, and a little nerdy, but I got it. I rarely wear anything with any kind of statement blaring from it, but I'd wear a shirt like this occasionally. However I'm pretty sure it would have to be explained often by wearers. Perhaps it would be a little more to the point if the ∞ were horizontal, and not inclined. In my experience, and that's all I have to go on, but I have laid out a lot of pages, words used in design are somewhat easier to read if they start high and end low. When they start low and end high they are somewhat harder to read. Still, your design speaks well.

    I got it right away, and would wear it.

    I get it, but am afraid most won't. I really hate having to explain my clothing to others.
    I don't think it will be a good seller, but what do I know?

    I don't get it myself. I was taught that ∞ was used for mathematical potential infinity. It's only recently that I've seen tattoos and your t-shirt design using ∞ to mean "forever". Where does this come from? I ask because it seems that I'm now seeing it everywhere.

    I like it. I'm not 100% sure I would buy* it, but if I owned it I would certainly wear it.

    The saltire imagery didn't click with me until it was mentioned. It might click more quickly if "Scotland" were moved along the curve in the direction of the S so that where the lines cross, you still have two white lines crossing rather than one line and one word?

    That may but the text too far into the loop though.

    Just a thought. Overall I like it and think it's fine as-is, just spit-balling since you asked



    *not due to the design, just due to my clothing-purchase tendencies.
