Put me down for four of them!
JulioZ

I would still rather have a T-sirt with a picture of the arm that has the tattoo of Cuba that says 'esperanza'.

I'll take 4 en large or xtra large :-D

El mensaje esta bien pero no tiene impacto grafico suficiente

are you going to sell them? I'd buy one!

Henry:
Excellent but don't forget to add: brilliant cook ;)
Can't forget la comida :)

xavier

I'll buy two for myself, extra-large please.

Let's do it, Henry.

Miguel, are you reading this bro? Gonna need your help again.

Conductor,

Nice!
However, I would rather leave out "intransigent" ... maybe replace it with "passionate" ... I don't know ... but I feel "intransigent" has a somewhat negative connotation ...

I wish you well!

Sweet. Like I need another T-shirt, but I'll buy one.

I agree about replacing "intransigent."

MRM

Well I'm pretty intransigent about the word intransigent. I chose it for a reason.

adj : not capable of being swayed or diverted from a course.

We are always accused of being intransigent. And I say, so be it.

I'm intransigent about Human Rights, I'm intransigent about pluralism, I'm intransigent about freedom, I'm intransigent about a free Cuba.

I N T R A N S I G E N T !

Do it! I'll buy one.

You could consider "stubborn" in lieu of "intransigent." But then, this is coming from un Tauro cabezon.

How about (yeah, it complicates the message and the process) adding "Proud Member of the Miami Mafia since xxxx (the buyer specifies the year)."

I love it. Do it en español, too.

Do it.
I have Cuban American friends who would really like this.

i like the shirt. political and powerful. i'd buy one. you could set up a shop on http://www.cafepress.com. you can choose to create a free site or purchase a more advanced site for a monthly charge. check out http://www.cubalibreshirts.com to see what the free site looks like

i think you should leave instransigent. it does kind of have a negative connotation, but i think its different when used in this context.

RABID!!!!
THEY ARE ALWAYS CALLING US RABID!

Leave "intransigent" in. We should be proud that we are not only intransigent, but adamantine, about what we want for Cuba's future.

Conductor,
You asked for reactions and I gave mine ... let me share my rationale for it ... I believe that by already having hard-line, the "intransigent" is implied. I feel that there's no need to be "labeled" intransigent when truth and reason are on your side, thus there's no need to compromise!
However, we must also remember that Intransigent is the first word in the shirt and then the largest is "Cuban-American" ... so people will read first Intransigent and move down to Cuban-American ... unfortunately many won't read past this ... also, as a Cuban-American, I understand the context, but we are trying to make an impact on all ... and "perception" is relevant. I'm not sure if I'm making sense ...
If you are intransigent about it, would you consider the following?

Maybe changing the order to:
Capitalist, freedom-loving,
Intransigent, hard-line,
Patriotic, anti-castro,
Cuban-American

this is my humble opinion,
Melek :)
p.s. interesting that like Alberto, I'm Taurus too..:)

I'd go for it, but not just in white.

Intransigent- yes we are! I will buy one, my mafia de miami one has started a number of interesting conversations, this one surely will as well. And ditto what Steve says, I'll buy the white but black would be so much better.

Melek, following your argument, which I might add is very true people will read only topline and bottom line, I would put the patriotic anti-castro as the first line

I think Intransigent makes a statement. Doesnt bother me all that much, but I can see Melek's point.

Still, tho Im of the

Intansigent, hard-line,
fidel castro is my f******* bitch,
capitalist, freedom loving,
patriotic, anti-commie,
kick ass Cuban-American
mother f*******, commie
ass kicking, freedom loving
mother f*****.

school of thought. But that's just me.

Go for it!

Jeez Val, tell us how you really feel!

Leave intransigent!!!! When they use a word to insult you take up that word as your own and use it with pride. It's a good word. I had not thought to describe myself that way but shall now.

On another note, I am headed to Madrid for the weekend and am planning on wearing an anti-Che shirt. From the reaction I got from a Spaniard I was dating it should make for an interesting weekend. They sure do love el Che there. Dumbass wussy Spaniards!

spain would be a beautiful country if not for the people, what with zapatero's efforts to welcome cuba back into european hearts and all..

You might be surprised when you wear your anti-sche shirt in Spain. You might get some compliments. In Berkeley California the only reaction I got was positive. There's people everywhere that get it.

let me tell you i was surprised (and angered) to receive not one but two disparaging comments about my 'cuba libre' shirt when i wore it to fiu the other day. gives new meaning to the phrase patience is a virtue

Henry, you're intransigent!

I wish I was a Cuban-American. I'd wear one!
