Sorry but I don't like it. My first thought was... what does a smirking smiley covered in blood splatter havevto do with subarus and japan. Then I realized it is japan. Then I realized there is no usa connection at all.
Sorry.... just my opinion. That country just went through a national disaster and its a bit to apocalyptic for me.

This could be a poster, and a silk screened shirt would just require me to edit this slightly by just picking one color swatch of red for the entire base of the graphic, and taking out the background. Then all you have to do it put it on a light grey shirt.

It needs some more breathing room on the top and the bottom as well, and it is a rather symmetrical layout. My biggest issue though is designing a poster that you then have to modify to put on a shirt when you've known from the get-go that the end product is to be a shirt.

This is what I had in mind for the shirt:
The circle symbolizes the japanese flag, as does the red. The center has the island of japan, unlike what other people think it looks like???? (unless you clearly haven't studied a map?) This was a huge travesty that has personally affected me and killed more than 18,000 people...I think being serious in this instance is better than having a cartoon-y design with oddly placed vectorized images of cars on a shirt, although it is still a work in progress.
I understand that it doesn't more clearly demonstrate a connection to the bay area, but last years shirt made no connection to the charity nor the bay area, so I don't see why people are complaining so much.
As for the 'breathing room' and 'symmetrical layout', I don't see any valid/strong points there so I can't say anything about that unless that is just purely your taste, because it has quite a bit of room.
I am not making any changes to the poster, but like I said, for the shirt, it would be less grungy and a solid color, which is what i provided, hope you guys like it, if not, then just don't vote for it...

The design looks good. I just don't like the blood splatter looking spray paint.
As for the shirts of the past... they were about the bay area and subaru. This is the first year there has been a charity and foreign country request. And I don't see any complaints... I see opinions. And who gives a **** about those. His design could get 90% of the votes, its a popularity contest anyways. And id buy one anyways to support bam.

Personally I don't feel any of the shirts should have the charity on it. The meet is about our cars first and the charities we donate to is the bonus. But the organizer requested the design to incorporate the charity then so be it. But I will only vote for a shirt that includes a bay area connection.
