Well, first off...can you use the name 'Jaegers'? I know the goblinish creatures in 'Girl Genius' are called that....
Also...if you want to use ALL of the characters on a shirt, I would suggest arrainging them in a pleasing circle pattern area...not spread out the way they are here. They should be relating to each other in some way. Otherwise, it just looks like a test sheet for animation drawings, not a tee shirt design that would sell.
That all being said, the characters look very cool!
They are, but we both got the word from the same place, jaeger means 'hunter' in germanic languages. (my particular spelling is danish, whereas jäger, note the umlaut, is german.)
I've actually got a whole in-world-mythology reason for calling them that. Jaegers are the host of the Wild Hunt, the myth behind thunderstorms, a wild hunting party of the fey or gods. The Wild Hunt exists in both germanic (continental european, mostly known as Norse) and celtic mythology, and at one point, it was actually led by Odin. (In celtic myth, it was Herne the hunter, but same general idea.)
In-world, the Wild Hunt flushed out and destroyed demons, and thus Jaegers, into the modern day, have a cultural history as demon-hunters. (Odin may have also been an empowered troll who took over the fey court which became known as the Norse pantheon, but that's another story entirely...)
Also, check the original post, I added a second image I'm probably going to use as the shirt's arrangement.
