More colors means more layers to the silk screener and drives costs up.  To do an elaborate design you'd have to sell many thousands of shirts for the cost to come down per shirt.  We're not going to sell that many shirts, so the cost is spread across fewer items which drives the cost per unit price up.  That's why less colors is desirable.  One thing you can do is use a colored shirt that can be a color in the design (Just don't silk screen that part of the design and the shirt color shows through.).  So basically, if you plan it right you can have a 2 color design and only pay for 1 color.

That's why I thought maybe be OK - some of the t-shirts are really elaborate now.   Just wondering....  getting the wheels turning...

Go for it!

Have a look at previous logos at drift-in.org. The  example would not necessarily be too much. You know what they put on t-shirts nowadays.

So, I need help here.  Is something like the pic I posted, for example, too elaborate/detailed/multicolored to work well for this project?   It seems to me it would have to  be simpler/plainer/less detailed to work?  Just not sure what is the "ideal" type of detail level??

Hey Chief, these have to be printed on T-shirts???  So, does it need to be done in a single color?   Something like this would not work well, then, I'm thinking?

Okay I think we have the most talented Drifter Riders in the world on here... time to submit your Drift-In 2014 logo ideas. We will be voting on them over on the Drift-in.org site starting on the 29th!

Submit your designs to me. The only thing required is Drift-In 2014 someplace on the design. You can see all the past logos over on the drift-in site. I'll be submitting at least two myself... and I ain't no graphic designer!

Go for it!
