So here's the deal/update.
We are short on the people who paid, that was obvious and anticipated as the payment due date arrived.
I called customink and worked with them over the weekend to get the t-shirt design finalized. What is depicted in the OP was not in a high enough resolution to be printed to size. They shrunk the images significantly to get rid of horrific pixelation even though some pixelation is intended with the image and 8-bit font. So, I invested my time in downloading a software and learning how to "vectorize" the original image. Also spent time trying to match the original fonts used in the shirt design. I have the 8-bit but cannot match the cursive. JinomusJ should be sending me those as they were created on his PC. Customink was even generous enough to help find additional discounts they can provide us with but we still don't have enough buyer's to make the quota.
I am currently looking into how many people we would need to switch to white shirts to still make this happen. The original volume was 27 people to get the discount price statements were sent out at. I will looking to see if we have any room to play with +/- people.
UPDATE: We would need at least 26 people total for the white shirt group buy before money starts coming out of my own pocket. Unfortunately for the black shirt group buy, I don't think we can persuade people to drop more money on making the switch from white shirt to black shirt. Although our quoted price was only based on 20 people for volume... Standby for further instructions regarding refunds and switching your order.
UPDATE 2: This is now very possible (Black and white shirts) if we eliminate the text on the back and only have a printing on the front. Stay tuned for updates.
