    Ummm, my sense was the thread was a request to brainstorm...though not "officially" so designated.

    In coming up with ideas when brainstorming its important to save judgement until the ideas play out. Then, go back and sort through them.

    Early judgement brings the process to a screeching halt.

    Sadly, what I've found for me is that kilt slogan t-shirts really don't go well with kilts. What seems to work best is some big logo that draws attention to the t-shirt instead of the kilt...I know that doesn't make a lotta sense...its hard for others to read t-shirt slogans without seeming to stare or because the wearer is walking.

    Like for me, the back of the X Mark's t-shirt is perfect...it has a huge logo that's easy to see.

    Sorry, guess I'm "judging" the whole project now...and I do so love creativity for the process if nothing else.

    I'm personally not a fan of t-shirt sayings that try to be funny, by being insulting. IMHO they tell us more about the wearer than the intended reader.
    I'm with them

    To me one of the very wonderful things about wearing a kilt is that it encourages all sorts of very pleasant and friendly exchanges with others. I have had countless fun little conversations with people about tartans, Scotland, and family histories with strangers while standing in line that I wouldn't have had if I had not been wearing a kilt.
