| - I wanted a geekie running shirt for a race I was running on Geek Pride Day (May 25th mark your calendars), but I couldn't find any anywhere. I walked by the store in the Meadows Mall and they had men's tech shirts. I went in to ask about women's ones, and they said they didn't have any, but that I could bring in my own shirt for printing.
A week later I hit up Dicks Sporting Goods at the Galleria, got my shirt, and took it down to the T-Shirt Diner. I had expected it to be a bit of a hassle, but they were great. I told them what I wanted on the front of the shirt, and he had me pick a font and color. He even fixed the layout to make certain words standout. I then asked about putting an image on the back. He did a quick google search, grabbed and modified the image, and once again took my idea and made it better. He was very responsive to anything I wanted.
Once it was all laid out, I left my shirt and wandered the mall for about 20 minutes as they had other shirts ahead of mine. I came back, and my shirt wasn't done. They were out of the color I picked, but offered me an upgrade to a similar metallic color instead. It worked for me, so less then ten minutes later I was out the door, grinning like a fool, and happy with my new shirt. ~$32 for front and back printing on my own shirt.
That weekend I wore it to the Badass Dash obstacle run and it held up great. I was worried the printing would come off as I crawled through the mud and dirt, but it still looks great and has become one of my regular running shirts.
I have been suggesting this place to anyone that needs a shirt printed. They know their stuff and can make your ideas into a great design. I'm trying to decide what to get printed next.
