Can I get some feedback on some chess designs?

I love "It's mating season"! That you get the checkmate symbol in there is an added plus. I think that's one that both men and women could wear.

Nice. You know, Erik was talking about a t-shirt promotion. Who knows, you may have a big customer.
I must buy one. These are fantastic. I've always wanted to make a shirt based on a joke someone made in another topic a while ago:

put the "mating season" one on a pocket protector and i buy
The designs are okay. Since it's relevant, I'm only mildly disgusted that the only reason you've started an account is to peddle your wares.
Ha-ha, well don't tell anyone that I'm a proponent of fusing capitalism and socialism. I think the necessities should be socialized(health care being a prime example) while leaving everything else to the entrepreneurial spirit.
Many thanks for the feedback. I'm sorry to have mildly disgusted some of you that I'm only here to peddle wares which isn't entirely the case. I am also a keen chess player (my father played for Cornwall for many years) and although I'm probably not as good as many people here I'm not bad either.
I like playing chess real-time on the internet and have been using freechess so far which I find quite successful. I was using the chess application in Facebook for a while (which I think might be yours?) but I'm not so good at playing protracted games over really long periods of time (i.e. months). Have you got a real-time set up? If so I would like a few games if anyones up for it.
In addition to what silent mentioned, what rubs me the wrong way is the obvious salesman tactics. You lead with "can I get some feedback on designs" and when the link is clicked everything has prices. Presumably this is done because you know full well that if your post said "I sell chess merchadise, who wants to buy some" you'd get far less clicks.
You're a salesman and you use obvious salesman tactics of luring people in as far as you can with niceties before they know you're selling them something.
I'm a very combative conversationalist. You'll learn to ignore me, should you stick around.
i like the "it's mateing season" one it's definitly one of the best. "enpassant" one is pretty cool too.
Many thanks for all your feedback. It seems that the mating season and en passant ones are the most popular. It helps me because I know which designs to prioritise and which to consider dropping.
Thanks again you've all be really helpful!

How about this saying. " I'm on Bongcloud Nine", anybody who is anybody will get this one.
The En Passant one is funny, but only to people who know the rule.
Does chess.com allow vendors on the site or do you need permission?

It would be tax deductible too!!!!
i don't like them...
the pieces are too prominently displayed. the jokes lose their subtlety with the explanation. although, the mate with B or N shirt, leaves me wondering if the joke is,
"I f##k horses and catholic priests??"
i find that one interesting, but i wouldn't wear it.
Isn't this practice what other places call spamming?

Nope. Spam has absolutely nothing to do with the target market. He at least knows we play chess.
If he were to talk about my 1993 red Chevrolet S-10 stick-shift 2WD V6 extended cab pickup (133K miles) with CD player... that i'm trying to sell in the New England region for $900.00 before we move from Vermont. just leave a note on my page.... [EDIT UPDATE: SOLD]
Now that would be Spam
Hello there,
as a keen amateur player I've just finished some chess T-shirt designs that I've made and wondered if I could get some feedback from other players?

I look forward to hearing what you think!
