Title: New Shirt Idea - order now
Post by: Rico on November 04, 2012, 07:44:11 AM
I've been wanting to do some new shirts for awhile and trying to come up with a new idea - something a bit more classy than a t-shirt (maybe something to wear to a certain movie premiere next May).  Anyway, I'm thinking an embroidered polo shirt.  Here's a quick sample idea below.  Let me know what you guys think.  Cost would be around $20 - give or take depending on shipping.  Colors flexible.  Two lines of text, one logo type image.  Thoughts?

Simple is nice and 20 bucks is a great price.

Slight alteration....

The gold logo is nice! Either that or silver would be cool I'm my opinion.

I don't like the red thread on that grey. It gets lost because it and the background are too dark. The gold emblem is nice but wouldn't that be a copyright issue to use it?

The colors are obviously something that's still up for other variations.  For a small run of shirts from the place I'm looking at I think the emblem will be ok.  I might take the star part out of the center as an idea to make it a little less obvious.

That last one is the best one so far.

Long sleeves maybe?

The last is best. I'd find $20 extra for that.

I think it's nice, and I'd buy one. I wouldn't mind one with a smaller classic logo (Spock w/iPod) on the tit either, any chance of that?
Title: Re: New Shirt Idea
Post by: Rico on November 05, 2012, 05:24:57 AM
No Spock logo this time.  No long sleeves for a polo either.

Ok, I'm bringing this shirt run back to life.  The last design in this thread is very close to what I'm going to do.  I think the cost is going to work out to about $25. depending on how many order a shirt.  I'm going to finalize the design in the next day or two and will post final details here.  Keep an eye out since I'm going to only have about a week or so for the order time frame.  Should be a cool shirt I think!

Ok gang, we are a go for this.  As long as I get at least a dozen shirts ordered the price is $26. shipped (a little more for the bigger sizes).  Please order as soon as possible.  I'm going to place the order right after the deadline date.  The shirts are a dark gray color and I think will look very sharp.  Excited!

Paypal button to order will be in the upper left below the Trek Daily Pic in a couple minutes (or use the link below to order).  Please make sure your current shipping address is listed in Paypal or email that info to me.  I can ship overseas if anyone is interested let me know on that.  Make it sew!   :roflmao

Badass! Is that graphic and text sewn in with thread, or printed on?

Pretty close.  We should be ok.  I wanted to put one final call out on the podcast today.

Cool, looking forward to it.  I cannot seem to find my older spock-logo tshirt from the last shirt-fest.

Just got an image of the stitching proof from the shirt company.  Looks perfect!

The shirts have just arrived!  They got them to me early and they look fantastic!  Excuse the quick cell phone pics.  I'll be getting these shipped out in the next couple of days.  Excited to wear mine at the Austin Comic Con (besides everywhere else - hehe)!

Sweet! Can't wait Rico! I'll post a pic of me wearing someplace. If I can think of someplace cool that is. Wish I could get down to Comic Con to meet you Rico. Austin's a little further than I can go without the Mrs. to help drive. I might look into airfare and see how much it is to fly in from Dallas. Hmmmm......

Got the shirts packed up and ready to ship out.  Seems tomorrow is a holiday, so I will hit the post office Tuesday and get these all sent out.
