Is there ever too much reflective vinyl?

Is there ever too much reflective vinyl?

As I watch my kids take off into the night on their motorcycle, I can confidently say the answer is NO. That being said, I need to remember that the shirt doesn't do any good if they won't wear it.   I think I'm pushing the boundaries where the shirt is still cool, but they don't feel too much like a road flare. 

I have been working on this design - something futuristic and cool where the reflective vinyl makes sense.  You'll see it - I'm posting it on the website finally after about 5 tries.  And yes, I'll continue to tweak it but I think I'm close.  And honestly, I don't want a shirt that takes me two days to make.  This one's pretty close. There's a TON of vinyl - 6 sheets that have to be cut and weeded.  Then the press - that is an adventure in itself.  But - it's all worth it in the end because the shirt is SO COOL!!!  I've tried to design the front, back, arms, and sides for visibility.  It's pretty sweet if I don't say so myself - and it has more reflective areas than the wings - which will always be my favorite design.  But again - this is all about balancing a shirt with high vis and still looking cool.  

I have a couple other ideas for this high volume high reflective kind of shirt - I just need a month off from work to do this cool FUN STUFF.   Until then, I'm finally posting this one and I'll and keep designing for our boys - to keep them lit and for them to show off and see if there are any other takers. ;-)  I'd love to see a whole band sporting U Light the Dark and lighting the road up!
