hobospyder Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 Dude I have a hoody with a backwards flag on it that posses off my infantry brother every time he sees it And a few militaristic shirts to go with my prior attempted service It's whatever to me. Quote Link to comment
pondking Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 I was told the rising sun with the glares is offensive to koreans (asians in general i think) because of war crimes Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 I don't find it offensive in any way shape of form, and i'm not scared of much, but i wouldn't wear one saying that. Just as i wouldn't wear one in pink ,, don't harm nobody but i still don't want one. :) Quote Link to comment
edin Posted July 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 I don't find it offensive in any way shape of form, and i'm not scared of much, but i wouldn't wear one saying that. I for sure get and respect that. I'm American by nationality, Chinese by ethnicity. I identify strongly with Chinese traditions and customs, but have almost zero identification with Chinese history-- past or present. The motivation with that quote was because I wanted the badge to be ironic-- aesthetically, unmistakably vintage American, and yet contain a goofy, goofy slogan by a Japanese company that really emphasizes the age of these cars -- you would never see a slogan now like that. 2 Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 the bottom phrase about car of choice is catchy as hell ,, i would keep that one. Quote Link to comment
maltese Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 And the swastika is offensive to some, even though it was used for 3000 years prior to Nazi's soiling it's reputation. I would be judged harshly, for rocking a hoody with that particular symbol. No matter what my reason. 1 Quote Link to comment

This makes sense, and makes me like the design, even more. Good work! Quote Link to comment
pondking Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 http://www.thewandereronline.com/2013/07/03/why-one-should-never-use-the-japanese-rising-sun-flag-by-dongwoo-kim/ The Rising Sun flag was the symbol of the Empire of Japan during late 19th and early 20th centuries. Japan had industrialized much earlier than the rest of Asia, and developed a formidable military force with the goal of forming a grand empire. Behind this goal, there was the belief that the Japanese were racially superior to other Asian ethnic groups, as their society had moved “beyond Asia” much earlier than others. For instance, the Japanese colonial administration lured young women in Korea and China with promises of education and good jobs — and turned them into “comfort women,” which is a euphemism for sex slaves for the Japanese army officers. they were compared to nazi's in the article Quote Link to comment
floyd17 Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 Hi all, I've been playing around a bit with trying to make a cool goon graphic to be used on some sort of screen print, probably t-shirts. Eventually I want to get into diy screen printing and crank out a bunch of posters. Anyway, I would be interested in selling shirts you all shirts with this or a similar graphic. Any thoughts on text? I've been playing around with just DATSUN, GOON, and SWAGON. I think swagon is hilarious, but it's definitely not for everybody. I'd appreciate any feedback. Thanks! Eric Shut up and take my money. Quote Link to comment
floyd17 Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 That. Is. Awesome! I'd take that on a tee shirt preferably green but I'm not picky with a design that cool. Make a hoodie with this on the center and "datsun" on the sleeves. Quote Link to comment
Fat510 Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 can you make these? with customizeable tags? http://www.datsunclassifieds.com/accessories/generalaccessories/clothing/datsun-vin-tag-t-shirts-available-customized-21.95-3885.html Quote Link to comment
hobospyder Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 I miss when this thread was about me.so was there ever going to be a way to buy any of these or what? I got a little play money this check Quote Link to comment
dbrick Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 Ok-- I'll come back with a few ideas on the stylized wagon above. RatVonDude's suggestion to just do the Datsun logo made me want to do a fun spin on the logo... I read that "The rising sun as the flag and Datsun as the car of choice" was actually a Datsun slogan at some point? Does anyone own this logo or mind if I use it? Text would change, but use the basic? Would be for annual Datsun Roadster Show in Watkins Glen NY, non profit and if you own the design, you get a shirt. thanks Quote Link to comment
edin Posted July 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 so was there ever going to be a way to buy any of these or what? I got a little play money this check Sorry I've been entertaining out of town friends for like the past week haha haven't had a chance to do this yet but will soon. It will have the same logo but I'll probably remove the rising sun part and keep the bottom... Quote Link to comment
