 Good T-shirt Creation Website?

I am trying to find a good t-shirt website where I can create my own shirts. There are hundreds if not thousands of them as far as I can tell with little indication of which ones are good. Basically I want to make a few Pirate Bay shirts using both their logo and the http://www.kopimi.com/kopimi/ logo.
PirateBay links to a shirt company but it seems silly to pay 25-30 euros for something I could probably get for 15 US.

I want to avoid the hard feel of the average screen printed shirt where it feels and looks like someone stapled some hard plastic sheet to your shirt. I hear digital printing is pretty decent but it doesn't work on dark colored shirts supposedly.
Anyone have any insight?

Cafepress is the oldest, Zazzle is the flavor of the day, and personally I've enjoyed working with Printfection for the Shroomery store. They all offer digital printing on dark clothing but it costs more. Just compare prices and styles to see which one would work best for your needs.

Hey thanks man! Ive only checked out Zazzle so far but I like that it automatically makes white transparent if you want it. I thought I was going to have to go into photoshop for that. I still kind of want the logo to be a different color than black, so Ill have to figure out how to do that. Probably really easy presumably.

I guess really what I want is for the logo to be inverted. So the bones, etc.. are black. As it is now there's a black square on the shirt with the logo transparent. All I have is Gimp, anyone have any quick idea on how to do that?
Edit: I got it

CTRL+I inverts an image in GIMP I believe. But do you have a high res source image or anything? If you want a while logo on a transparent background I'll do that for you, it'll take like 2 seconds in Photoshop.

Hey thanks man, I only have a fairly low resolution source.
And my weird yellow version
And the kopimi logo
If you could make the top pirate bay logo higher resolution thatd be great. Also if you have time could you make that kopimi logo inverted? The real Kopimi logo is a .svg file however its just a large version of the K so its fairly boring. This one is abit fancied up.
heres the original

EPS is an Adobe Illustrator format, you can also open it with Photoshop.
I'm not sure exactly which of the kopimi designs you want, there are a lot of variations. Show me the one you had in mind and I'll try and do that too. In the meantime here's a nice, high-res, print-ready Pirate Bay logo, with a transparent background, suitable for use on any dark clothing:

Hey, thanks for the help. Do you think you could make high resolution jpegs of these pictures, no need to invert them.

I have tried to figure out how to do this in Gimp but it seems to always scale the jpegs down to a low resolution and I see no options to change that.

Here:
   
If you're going to be doing much work with vector graphics, you should check out Inkscape.
