Nu Lambda Shirt



Here is a shirt that I received from Brother Eric Gonzales of the Nu Lambda chapter. This shirt uses has a lot of thought put into it that I will let the words of Brother Gonzales explain.

"This is a shirt we just had made to take to the Texas Music Educators Association state convention.

The front is simple and includes the Coca Cola slogan from 1957. "The sign of good taste"

The back has the letters and lists each of the five classes who have crossed since Nu Lambda's reactivation in January 2009.

"Ossian's Twelve" - 12 rechartering brothers
"Dominant Seventh" - 7 new brothers
"Cinco de Mojo" - 5 new brothers and de Mojo, our two honorary members
"The Tritones" - 3 new brothers
"Calliope's Eighteen" - 18 new brothers"

Upsilon Psi Shirt




Here's a shirt that I received from Brother Josh Joy that is a chapter shirt for them. It's a different spin on the traditional Guiness shirts.

Omicron Tau Shirts (Middle Tennessee State University)

I got great descriptions for each shirt from Brother Salt so I will upload what he sent me to describe the extent of each shirt.




This is our shirt the Omicron Tau Chapter (Middle Tennessee State
University, Murfreesboro, TN) had made in the Spring of 2009.
Obviously, the front has some innuendo, but the back explains it all.
The "bigger" refers to our national total number of brothers (that has
since changed), the "longer" refers to our own chapters length of time
on campus, and the "stronger" refers to our bond as brothers.




This next shirt is a much older one from 2007. The front is a parody
of the Coca-Cola logo. You can get that font from a simple google
search. I found it for free.
The back is a nutrition facts label. The calories is the founding
year. The content percentage comes from the different pledge classes
that comprised the chapter at the time. "Other" was brothers who
transfered in. The vitamins were Phi, Mu, and Alpha. Finally, the
ingredients were the last names of the brothers in the chapter at that
time.




Our most recent shirt is from this past Fall Rush 2010. The front is a
simple rush statement. I believe the font is a collegiate font, with
an all capitalized size, but the first letters of each word are
bigger. It's a setting you can do with photoshop I believe.
The back is a slogan I, (Chris Salt, Omicron Tau) made up a few years
ago "Great Music, Great Brothers, Great Decision!" It works really
well as a rush slogan. Feel free to use it. It is a collegiate font.

Another entry for Nu Omicron (Illinois State)



This shirt has been dubbed the Super Sinfonian for the reason of using the scripted S within the Superman pentagram symbol. A sweet use of a common, well recognized symbol.

Xi Omicron Shirt





Here's a shirt from the Xi Omicron chapter for a concession stand they run. Stevens Point in Wisconsin hosts a solo and ensemble festival stand during which the chapter runs the concession stand. Tradition is that every time someone buys a pickle they sing a song for them. I think little ways like this to add some fun are pretty awesome.

Gamma Thea Homecoming Shirt



Here we've got a shirt designed for homecoming during the 2010 year. The shirt uses the school colors of green and white. There's the Texas flag on the back of the shirt with the mystic cat combining those ideas so important to us all.

Nu Omicron Shirt



A rush shirt from the Nu Omicron chapter a few years back using the famous brother Mr. Rogers on it.

Xi Upsilon Shirt





Another variation upon the standard Guinness shirt front.However, this one is different than others that I have seen by incorporating the, "Brilliant" phrase that was a part of the commercial for a little while. Goes to show how we can all use the Guinness idea and come up with totally different end products.

University of Georgia Shirts






Here are some shirts that I recieved from Brother MacNamara who attends the University of Georgia. I really dig the ambigram shirt with how the font is set for Sinfonia. A good one to bring to your chapter too. The polo with the lyre is also a nice, clean looking polo. I dig the other shirts as well.

Province 25 Workshop Shirt





Here's a shirt that I just got from Danny in Province 25 that they used for the 2010 workshop. The front of the shirt has the crest and the back of the shirt holds the bottle of Makers Mark. The bottle of Makers Mark is really well done and with each chapter in the province listed inside. Coming from a province that doesn't make workshop shirts, I find that I like the idea and might incorporate it myself.

Some Epsilon Alpha (Toledo) Chapter Shirts



Sweet font on the front and the object on the back. What's better than that?






Another shirt that's on the generic side, but still unique with the use of the Lyre on the front and Greek letters on the back. Easily transferable for anyone that wants to take the picture and make their own shirt.






A little more standard of a Greek events and chapter shirt with the chapter name listed underneath.






Shirts for the exec board. This is the first time I've heard of a chapter doing special shirts for the exec board like this, but I think it's an awesome idea.







Another mystic cat shirt with text from the Mystic Cat Song out of the old Red Back.








The chapters mystic cat shirt that reads Sinfonia and in red text is one of the mystic cat poems.







This is shirt was designed to go along with the chapters hot dog sales. With some contribution from the shirts, the brothers of this chapter are able to make around $200 a week from the hot dog stand. A great idea that can be borrowed for anyone else that has frequent sales.

Some Shirts from Kappa Zeta



Here's a shirt done with the idea of using school colors so that it be can be worn at school sporting events showing both pride towards Sinfonia and the Alma Mater.















This shirt is what they use as the standard shirt around campus.












This shirt is another standard one for the chapter, but imagine it with sleeves.

















The official shirt design for formal this year. I really dig the martini glass on the front to add the class of it being formal.




















Some other shirts that didn't make it to be the formal shirt this year, but are still awesome none the less and deserving of being on this blog for their originality.

Beta Lambda 2011 Rush Shirts




I just received these pictures from one of the brothers over at Muskingum (Beta Lambda), but this is what they are looking at using for rush this coming semester. I think they are both really good and my favorite part is the listing of brothers on the black shirt.



Here's a version of the black shirt from above with a little bit different editing done

Inspiration From Guiness






This shirt was found while cleaning our fraternity room at Epsilon Phi. It seems that every chapter has their own little variation on this shirt, but it's still one that I really enjoy and wear quite often. I seem to have uploaded the pictures out of order, but the picture with "Please Pledge Responsibly" is what is on the back side of the shirt.
