Here are a couple of renditions.  I just had the denim shirt done with the "199th AVN" lowered and I think it looks pretty good also.  Kind of makes it stand out better.

 

The deal:  Anyone can send me a shirt with suggested colors for lettering and land mass.  Specify "Swamp Fox" or "Swamp Fox XX".  I'll work with embroidery shop to insure color scheme works with shirt.  Total cost will be $10.79 for embroidery plus $3.85 for priority return mail.  (total $14.64). 

 

Shirts should be a solid color, no fine patterns or herringbone weaves for best results.
