Quality: Cotton + Elastam
Size: XS Design: Image/Logo/cd cover Color: Black/White/Grey Stretching Fit Stretch Sleeve (long) These are my desires, but they'll never come true. All my rock T-shirts are pretty the opposite!!!! LOL! I have: 1 Zenyatta black t-shirt 1 Ghost black sweater 2 Synchronicity t-shirt (enormous for me), one white with Police faces and grey with only the 3 colored stripes 1 Blue Turtles white t-shirt with cd cover 2 Soul Cages, one black t-shirt with Sting faces on the front and tour dates on the back, and one white with italian dates on the back 1 BND very big long sleeve green t-shirt with logo and Sting embroidered Some of them are soooooo used I can't put the anymore..... But I have decided yet that I'll wear my Ghost sweater in Turin for The Police concert on 2nd October!!!! LOL!!!! :D Apr 16, 07 | 5:35 am

Can't help ya with design ideas, Jose, cuz I'm not good with fashion thing.
I'll brag though: Vintage Soul Cages t-shirt with Sting standing tall on the front and US tourdates on the back. 2nd Broken Music tour t-shirt, grey with black, I'm quite obsessed with it and wear it to as many places as I can. Apr 16, 07 | 5:51 am

The fact with rock T-Shirts is that they often don't suit to women, they are too big and too large !!

I only have one official Sting t-shirt - from the Sacred Love tour (1st Sting concert i went to), it cost me about 20 quid and its crap, ive never even worn it, its a terrible shape, too wide but short!! I made my own Sting t-shirt for the Broken Music tour (proper fitting t-shirt from H&M, lol, just £7 plus £1 for the transfer paper stuff) and it rocks!! :D When I was at the concert people kept asking me where I bought it from, he he!!
They usually do rock t-shirts in "skinny fit" for girls but I dont know about Sting ones! For the Police concert im wearing a "Beat girl" t-shirt same as Sting wore in the Dont Stand so Close to Me video (coz im a tad obsessive, ha ha) but dont steal my idea ok? Dont want everyone turning up in one!! :P lol! Apr 16, 07 | 6:43 am

It would be nice if both light and dark colors, long and short sleeves could be offered in sizes XS - XL at least since there is so much diversity when it comes to those variables. It's not that difficult to order shirts in more limited quantities in certain sizes that are in lower demand but still make a profit. Both lighter and darker colors will sell. If only one color can be chosen, basic white or cream is what I generally buy.
Personally I prefer a shirt with the name of the tour and the picture of the band on the front and a list of tour locations with dates on the back. The list of tour locales and dates makes it extra special. 100% PRESHRUNK cotton is best. It's also nice to buy a shirt that's still made in the USA. Apr 16, 07 | 8:10 am

stretch tees are also for boys... see t-shirts male collections of Dolce & Gabanna, Abercrombie, Benetton, DKNY, G-Shock, GAP, Sisley, Armani, Body Body Wear, etc. , I like to wear fashionable.
Perhaps some stuff with photos of the band from nowaday, and another design with a pic of the band 20 years ago, about size and cut perhaps normal tees, and others with modern stretch style for men and also that stretchs for girls... so for everybody could be an option to choose... What about colors? I think black could be the natural option, but why not different colors as Benetton...hhehe... What about quality? 100% cotton or mixing with spandex? Uhmmm and about it made in USA.... that's a big surprise most of the clothes sell on first world countries came from thirld world or south east Asia... peruvian cotton is excellent... I know we export for Benetton, Sisley, Armani Collection, CK, and other fashionable trade marks ;) Apr 16, 07 | 8:21 am

It's amazing how much sizes have changed over the years. What was a medium in the 80's would be considered a small now. I realized this when I heard that Marilyn Monroe was a size 12 then I saw her dresses and they look like about a size 4 or 6.
To respond to your question, Jose, I don't like baggy, but I don't like tight either. 3/4 length sleeves would be nice. I would like something other than black or white as a background color. Or like the raglan style where the sleeves are one color and the body of the shirt is another. An organic cotton color would be nice. Zazzle is a fun place to design shirts, if you are not artistically inclined, like me. A picture of the person(s) is okay if it's a good picture, if not I would prefer some type of graphic. Whatever it is would have to be tastefully done. Material would have to be preshrunk and long wearing. Same with the dyes/inks used. Apr 16, 07 | 1:05 pm

sizes changes for years... about medical treatments, more vitamins, hormones, and of course the massivity of "junk food" :S
That's why on Sting store sells baggy t-shirts ... and is hard to obtain M or S... What happened with fitt people? we need to wear camp tees?? :D Yeah organic colors will be nice, here we have lot of organic inks since Incas times... and didn't dissapear or less the color ;) Ohhh yeah I love raglan style where the sleeves are one color and the body of the shirt is another...really great!!!

I remember that some years ago I've seen a website where they were selling Rock outfits and there even was a black dress with Sting/Andy/Stewart Synchroninity pic. So it's rare to see "Rock dress" and that one was really well done. But I don't remember where I found this site (I just remember that it was expensive so I've never tried to look at this site again !!!).
