"I Love Taido" T-Shirts

In 2001, I had the first batch of “Mercy is for the Weak” (from the Karate Kid) Taido shirts printed for the Georgia Tech club. They sold out, and peo­ple kept ask­ing about them, so the next year, I made the “back-in-black” ver­sion, based on the same design. These were extremely pop­u­lar, and I kept a secret stash to give as gifts to Taido friends in other countries.

I have run out of “Mercy is for the Weak” shirts, and I lost the orig­i­nal graphic when my hard disk self-destructed a cou­ple of years ago. Anyway, it’s time for some­thing new.

What I came up with is this:

I think I’ve cre­ated a design that is sim­ple, clas­sic, and uni­ver­sal to Taidoka every­where. It reads “I Love Taido” in a famil­iar man­ner that should be rec­og­nized by Taido prac­ti­tion­ers and other kanji-literate folks all over the world.

For those of you who are inter­ested in own­ing a unique expres­sion of your love for Taido, please check out the “I Love Taido” shop. The shop now includes a cou­ple of dif­fer­ent designs and sev­eral prod­ucts besides t-shirts (bags, hats, etc.).

While Cafepress keeps most of the prof­its (indeed, they do most of the work as well), I receive a cer­tain per­cent­age of each sale for the fund­ing of my var­i­ous Taido projects. Place an order and sup­port Taido/Blog while show­ing every­one that you love Taido.
