I can envision that embroidery on the back of a jacket!
Dave, is Shirley in Arizona? I sold my Mini-fleet to the Arizona Blahaks
many years ago. They blew up my RHD Mini driving it back from Las Vegas to
Arizona in the afternoon desert heat in August!!
I sent a copy of the FOT logo over to the lady from the Mini club that has
an embroidery business to ask her opinion. Here is her reply. She
provides some explanation as to the complexities of putting the logo on the
breast of a shirt but putting it on the back of a denim shirt might be cool.
