Front: "BYOAC"
Back: "Build Your Own Arcade Controls"
Add some arcade graphics, done.

Last night the hunamous decision was if it's just a shirt that has "BYOAC" with a graphic then it's lame. We are wanting to go in a more humorous direction, mostly because having a byoac t-shirt is dorky enough, but if its made to be serious then it's the t-shirt for uber dorks.
Also responding to other comments..... any reference to a video game or video game characters will give us legal issues. So mentioning pacman or ect won't work, nor will modifying a classic game logo/sprite. Keep the suggestions coming, I still haven't heard a really good one yet. ;)

Personally I don't think I'd be interested in wearing a BYOAC t-shirt as a fashion statement. I might wear it while I'm working, but I get plenty of free T-shirts from stands at my school trying to sign me up for a credit cards, etc.
That said, if someone is interested in a BYOAC, I'm with 1UP, except I think I'd leave the back blank. Build Your Own Arcade Controls is a functional title, but really pretty weak as a slogan or flag. It really doesn't make sense on a shirt. If I saw somebody wearing the shirt (and was unaware of the BYOAC community) I would think that the shirt were suggesting that I somehow knew about or wanted YOUR arcade controls...like: Doritos -- get your own bag. It actually sounds like a snotty remark rather than an enabling community when brandished on a shirt.
I'm not a big fan of any of the suggestions in the first post and I think they really cast a bit of a juvenile light on the hobby taking away some credibility.
Really anybody who cares about BYOAC will most likely already know what it is so there's no explanation necessary. If I see someone at an auction with BYOAC on their shirt I'll know. At any rate, simple is always better when it comes to things written on a shirt (and most other things in life for that matter :) ). You don't want it to read like a No Fear shirt or one of those terrible Looney Toons gone gangsta shirts.

Umm it is a juvenile hobby man. We are grown men and women playing with toys. Also to the rest of the world we don't have any credibility. To take the hobby so seriously and expect the rest of the world to is like those nerds in high school that proudly wore their chess club t-shirts and couldn't figure out why everyone was making fun of them.
