T-Shirt Ideas etc. - Feedback is appreciated.

A couple of weeks ago, I started thinking about different Clemson T-Shirt ideas to sell on my website.
To make a long story short, my brother-in-law is a Clemson graduate and founded a company which makes T-Shirts etc that focus on fishing, hunting, and the river lifestyle. http://www.EdistoOutdoors.com
Anyhow because I have the access to his technology, I've been designing some on the side and wanted to get your ideas and opinions on what I've come up with so far.
Fortunately, my wife is a graphic designer and is going to take over most of the design work. She's not only more talented, but much faster and better looking than I am.
My wife has also designed a line of kids shirts as well that I am going to be adding in the next few days. I've gotten a few printed, but all but one of the shirts on my site are simulated images.
I thought many of you might like my "Pitchfork" shirt, but I also wanted to get some reactions, good or bad to what I'm offering.
We offer flat rate shipping and just a couple of days to manufacture and ship your shirts. Plus, I am working on a setup so that you could order and save on shipping by picking up the shirts at my tailgate. (But that may not happen)
If you don't want to be honest on the board, I'd love your feedback via T-Mail as well. If you want to order one, that would be awesome too! Thanks guys.

As always, Go Tigers!!

I'm actually looking into the licensing info this week. As

Of now we don't use any "Clemson" licensed images or phrases. I'd love to get o that point though.
I can tell you this if I ever make enough I'll be giving plenty back to our fine university.

They all have a clean look on the prowl is nice as well. I kind of like that you have to know they are about Clemson without it being spelled out Will bookmark this for when I get ready to get this year's game attire.
Good job and good luck!

I'm currently working on that. The problem that I have is

that the type of printing is not plasticized so printing "White" is most difficult. I knew that would be an issue, but I'm trying to work around it.
I've got some future ideas that would be purple on orange but those will be more retro styled/themed.
Wear these around town if you only wear orange to Clemson games.

I would be careful to check about the licensing. You might be amazed at what universities have copyrighted. It's not a difficult process if that's the direction you chose to go. If they find your designs violate any if the copyrights they can make you destroy the inventory and pay penalties. In this case it's better to be safe because sorry can be costly. The shirts do look nice.

I've been as careful as I can with these particular shirts.

I've read through the licensing info on Clemson's site and all of these should be fine.
I'm contacting the Licensing Office in Atlanta tomorrow to see what steps would need to be taken to use "Clemson" and the Paw etc.
As of now, I can use Clemson, SC, dates, phrases etc that are in the clear.

I like shirts with a different graphic on the front and the back. YOur graphics are fine I just would mix it up from that standpoint

Like a mushroom cloud or something for a Nuke shirt. (might be offensive IDK). More variety with the deuce is loose. Some kinda Tahj Boyd thing.
