    Jeez Matt,

    First the Lewis hose addiction....now this!

    I'm suddenly hopeful that with a local shop and modern computer technology that just maybe....possibly....for once in my life...someone that does these clan crests could use the Island Scot/Canadian Scot spelling of "Macdonald" instead of capitalizing the D....???

    There are many many Macdonald families out there who would RUSH to your shop to get them...and I even belong to a group of "Small d d*mn it!" Macdonalds - as well as my extended family and would proudly spread the word of this treasure.

    Or are they olde, staid, inflexible, and only gonna do the MacDonald ones and leave us Macdonalds out in the cold...

    Yes I'm pleading...begging...all that stuff.

    Actually, the way they are doing these crests for us, the names are all in caps. See the picture of the Armstrong crest on the site, and notice that it is ARMSTRONG. With "Mac" names the "ac" is lower case and all the rest are in caps. So MacDonald would be "MacDONALD."

    I don't know how easy it would be for him to customize spelling. I believe that the name and the crest are all part of the same piece of artwork for them. In other words, the name is not a separate element of the design. But that's my assumption, I don't know to be honest with you.

    One more question to ask the shirt guy next week....

    Thanks Matt NewSome,

    Tell your vendor if he can find a way to create a Macdonald shirt instead of MacDonald or MacDONALD he'll probably experience a rush of business from grateful Macdonalds who have long suffered the MacDONALD spelling.

    I pledge to spread the word extensively should this be possible.

    Yeah, and I'd love one that just said 'Donald' or 'Clan Donald.'
    But I'm happy to get a MacDonald one, too.
    Or Macdonald.

    I'm just happy to get one.
