There's a lot of ethnic communities in our fair land, and while we wouldn't use "Bombero" on a duty shirt (except in Oregon, maybe) it would be appropriate on an off-duty shirt. The same with "Firefighter" in any language where there is an ethnic community! There are places in Orange County, California where the only signs which are not primarily in Korean are the street signs!
I looked at your Cafe press page, I liek the Volunteer FF shirts, and the KMG-365 Stuff! As soon as i get permission from "CINC House" I plan to buy some. lol
I like your maltese cross design too, it looks good.
when I was in retail I used to use the name tag "ASS MAN" at one of my earlier jobs. It was 100% true until I got promoted then it was only 50% true, but the name kinda stuck.
