Glad you caught it. That is exactly what I was going for. I hope that it isn't TOO subtle.

Oh right, I did not know that, thank you. So, what exactly are you trying to say? I suppose, by the very fact that I have to ask shows its too subtle for this Scot!

I think the idea, Jock, is that if something is infinite it is never ending or "Forever" hence "Scotland Forever" as in the thread title. Hope this is not getting too close to the current debate.

I am sorry my train of thought was going down the line of the title of the famous picture of the charge of the Royal Scots Greys at Waterloo! No wonder I did not get it!

It made sense to me immediately. Sideways 8 is infinity. Cool t-shirt.

**Carlo** · 12th September 14, 03:19 PM

Makes total sense to me, as long as the 8 lies flat and not at an angle.
One for the geeks

Love it!!

(Okay this should meet the 10 character minimum for a post)

I get it, but am afraid most won't. I really hate having to explain my clothing to others.
I don't think it will be a good seller, but what do I know?

I don't get it myself. I was taught that ∞ was used for mathematical potential infinity. It's only recently that I've seen tattoos and your t-shirt design using ∞ to mean "forever". Where does this come from? I ask because it seems that I'm now seeing it everywhere.

I like it. I'm not 100% sure I would buy* it, but if I owned it I would certainly wear it.

The saltire imagery didn't click with me until it was mentioned. It might click more quickly if "Scotland" were moved along the curve in the direction of the S so that where the lines cross, you still have two white lines crossing rather than one line and one word?

That may but the text too far into the loop though.

Just a thought. Overall I like it and think it's fine as-is, just spit-balling since you asked

*not due to the design, just due to my clothing-purchase tendencies.
