Minna no Anime club T-shirts show you are a proud member of this club! 



== History of the T-Shirts ==
The first T-shirt we still have record of was designed and printed by [[Jann Fabrin]] in 1995.  Yang, a member of PolyInk as well, was a gifted artist, and drew the "Knight of Gold" T-Shirt, seperations and all.  These seperations are still in the posession of Minna no Anime officers.  The design was taken directly from a promotional immage for [[Five Star Stories]].  The next year Jann started the t-shirt contest, and also instituted the rule that there would be no copyrighted images allowed.

Former presidents [[Ron Neal]] and [[Josh Holmstrom]] have mentioned that while there were no shirts for the 1994-1995 year, there were shirts before this.  If anyone still has one of these, or of any other designs we are missing, we would LOVE to see pictures!

== Past T-Shirts ==
Unfortunately a few T-shirts have been lost to antiquity.  But take a look at the ones we do have.  Click on the picture to get a better look.

==== Old T-Shirt Rules ====
* You get a MAX of four (4) colors. You can obviously use less, but the max is four. 
* Make your design with a shirt color in mind. Think of it as a free fifth color. try not to make your design on white paper unless you plan on having it on a white shirt. The shirt colors you have to choose from can be found at this page. You can just turn in a design on white paper and choose a different color for the shirt, if you want. It just makes voting easier if everyone has a good idea of how it will look on the shirt. 
*Ok, you don't need color separations unless your design is chosen. If your design is chosen, you will then have two weeks to get your seperations done for us. For that they need to be finished on a computer, in a relatively high resolution. if you can do it in a vector format that would be ideal, but not required. 
*The designs are due, and will be voted on by the members, durring our meeting on the 15th of January (2005). This is the second weekend (and meeting) of Winter quarter. ''Editors note: This date changes every year.''
*Your design must include some kind of indicator that this is for Minna no Anime. You can use just the "Minna" kanji, "Minna no Anime" in Japanese or Romanji or some combination of them. That shouldn't be too hard.
