This just hit me: I stil live with my parents, and some of us grow up in very religious households. I realized today that the AOG shirt has the depiction of a naked female. Every angel shirt I've ever seen has this. You never see anything, but it's always got the silhouette of a girl, and based on how well you can see her "features", you can conclude that the idea is that she's naked. now, call me whatever you want, but my parents would probably be offended by me buying/wearing a shirt with that on it. So, I thought, maybe I should just find me an Angel shirt somewhere else, not an AOG shirt. So, I go looking for one, and EVERY single Angel shirt I find has the same thing. A naked girl with wings. Every one of them. Well, except for a couple of them that refer to an ir3, but I shoot a dark led, and don't want an ir3 shirt. I just think this is sad, and I wish there were shirts out there that were completely innocent. Because I know I can't buy one of the AOG shirts because of that reason. I'm not asking that anything be changed, I just wanted to let you guys know how I felt. I think it would be cool to have a shirt that was AOG specific, or had a picture of an Angel paintball marker, and not a naked girl with wings. I think there's got to be another way to convey the idea of angel without the silhouette of a girl with big (insert your own word for it here). That's just how I feel. And I doubt I'm the only one in that situation. I know I'm not the only one here that lives with my parents still, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who's decently religious and has grown up in a home with very high moral standards. So, don't take this wrong and think I'm calling you all perverts, or trying to start a religious debate, or anything like that. I just wanted to point out that I can't buy the current T-shirt because of it's design.

hey it happens ..... its not like girls are dirty , and in no way is there anything there that should make one assume shes nude. I mean werent there figures in the bible that were pretty much naked... i mean it cant be all that bad. But still i see where hes coming from no reason to argue.

First of all, if you don't like the shirt, don't buy it. I've seen shirts that just say "ANGEL" on them. You can get one of those.

And as far as your comment: "...I'm sure I'm not the only one who's decently religious and has grown up in a home with very high moral standards", this seems to imply that those of us who have no problems wearing the shirt are not decently religious or do not have high moral standards.

I think your comments are a blown out of proportion, narrow-minded and, as an attorney and former U.S. Marine, somewhat offensive.

I suppose what I'm trying to say is...just let it go. It's just a t-shirt.
