Great Urban Race 2

Eight months after posting our team's shirts for the 2010 Great Urban Race, demand has finally forced me to post the shirts that we got from the Great Urban Race as part of our race packet.

The front of the shirt has a logo with all of the cities for 2010 along with some race-related words (Race, Fun, etc.). I like the logo but I have the minor complaint that "Charlotte" is in fairly small print.  I think it should dominate the shirt.

The back is the schedule of all the 2010 races, similar to a concert T-shirt.

As you can see, the shirt is black.  As previously mentioned, I prefer almost any color to white, so that is a plus.

We have already signed up for this year's race so that shirt will get posted some time in 2012.

Grade: B+

Great Urban Race 1

This is probably the best shirt I've gotten to date.  It has a fantastic logo and an exquisite use of color.

I mean, look at that.  It is awe-inspiring. 

Okay, they may not be awe-inspiring, but they aren't bad in my humble opinion.

These are the shirts that we made for our run in the 2010 Great Urban Race.  Teammates are supposed to match, so we bought some $3 t-shirts and some inkjet iron-on transfers at AC Moore.  We then whipped up a logo and affixed it to the shirts.  It was a bit of a challenge, because the transfers are white, so you have to either design the edges to be white or come up with something where you can completely wipe out any white.  We chose the latter.

We coordinated the backs as well:

In case you don't get the name "My Ox Is Broken" I've included this handy video from The Amazing Race (about 40 seconds in):

I'll post the shirts we got at the race in a few days.  They are pretty sharp.

I will refrain from grading the shirt, but I will say that the logos on the back could have been placed a little better, and that they don't breathe all that well when running around carrying a backpack.
