Title: T-shirts - Run number 2
Post by: Rico on July 17, 2007, 12:27:20 PM
Trying to gauge the interest level in doing another run of T-shirts.  Probably similar to the same type as last time.  Maybe with some slight changes.  If you would be interested, let me know here and I'll start looking into it.   :biggrin

edit---
For those that don't know, here's what the first run looked like.  Spock graphic was on the back and printed words on the front.  Next run probably will be similar, possibly a different shirt color.  Maybe just white this time.

I wasn't around to get in on the first run, so I would be interested for sure. I love the spock logo!

When it comes time, let me know and I will get some moola your way and sizes.

I didn't get one last go round...I needed a medium or small and got out voted on the T-shirt size  poll.  :D

Men's large is toooooooo big for me to wear out and about. But I too would like to buy one if I could get a medium.
Title: Re: T-shirts - Run number 2
Post by: Rico on July 18, 2007, 11:10:45 AM
Jen - I did order a couple of mediums on the last run.  I think the poll was just one of my first steps to gauge sizes, etc.  The way this will probably work (like last time) is orders come to me first.  You can get exactly the size you want.  Always keep in mind T-shirts tend to shrink a little (but these have been holding up well I think).

Once I get all the orders in for the various sizes I place the order.  Then ship them out when I get them.  If we get a least at dozen or more here wanting one, I'll start the pre-ordering process once I get back from Taiwan in August.

Post by: jedijeff on July 18, 2007, 11:54:40 AM
I am in for a tshirt as well since I missed out the last time, Medium or Large for me, whatever is easier, unless the medium is really small.
Title: Re: T-shirts - Run number 2
Post by: The IC on July 18, 2007, 01:25:44 PM
I would take one too!

XXL or XL depending on how large/small the shirts are

and XLT would be ideal
Title: Re: T-shirts - Run number 2
Post by: Rico on July 18, 2007, 01:46:08 PM
No need to say sizes yet, just if you will be wanting one or more so I can get a rough count idea.  Thanks for the input so far.  And for those that got one last time, these will be end up a bit different so if you want to get another feel free.  I will certainly post the final look prior to preordering.

Post by: Rico on July 21, 2007, 03:54:19 AM
At least a different shirt color and I may change the text a bit on the front.  Spock/iPOD Logo on back will be the same I think.
Title: Re: T-shirts - Run number 2
Post by: Rico on August 25, 2007, 04:49:33 PM
Ok gang - here's the design I am thinking of doing right now.  Similar to last time.  But on a white T-shirt.  You will be able to order your own size.  Cost will be $25 which will include shipping to you from me.  I was thinking of doing them as long sleeve maybe instead of short sleeve t-shirts - but still white.  Let me know what you think about that idea.  I will leave this picture up and we can discuss it over the next week or so.  I want to get it finalized before the LIVE podcast next weekend so I can discuss it then.  No orders are needed yet, just let me know what you think.

Title: Re: T-shirts - Run number 2
Post by: Ktrek on August 25, 2007, 08:23:22 PM
I probably would be interested but I don't care for the white Tshirt. I'd rather have black with white lettering or another color. Never have cared at all for white Tshirts except as undergarments.

Title: Re: T-shirts - Run number 2
Post by: PepperDude on August 25, 2007, 10:27:57 PM
I'm definitely getting one Rico. I personally like white t-shirts; I don't really like long-sleeve shirts.
Title: Re: T-shirts - Run number 2
Post by: moyer777 on August 25, 2007, 10:31:54 PM
I can't wait!  I want three of them! 

I always get white T-s dirty easily.  So a darker color would be great, like Navy blue or Black, but I will be happy with whatever, long or short sleeve is fine with me. 

When you get ready, I will send you sizes.

Title: Re: T-shirts - Run number 2
Post by: Geekyfanboy on August 25, 2007, 10:37:46 PM
I don't wear white T-shirts.. well only as undershirts... so I guess I'll skip this batch.
Title: Re: T-shirts - Run number 2
Post by: Dan M on August 26, 2007, 04:55:08 AM
Rico, are you using UberPrints.com?  I made some shirts through them recently and the screencaps you posted look exactly like their site.  Great service from them, and great prices.
Title: Re: T-shirts - Run number 2
Post by: Rico on August 26, 2007, 05:29:57 AM
Yep - that's the place.  I used them last time and was happy with the results.
Title: Re: T-shirts - Run number 2
Post by: Dan M on August 26, 2007, 05:48:06 AM
I designed a shirt for a friend's dojo, and was very happy with UberPrints.

I was thinking that you could share the design, to allow people like Kenny who might now want it on white, to order their own shirt(s) with different options, but I don't think they offer that service.  (I just looked quickly.)  I know some other sites do that.
Title: Re: T-shirts - Run number 2
Post by: Rico on August 26, 2007, 06:04:36 AM
I have tried at least three other sites like Cafepress and a couple of others and tried to set up a service like that where people can pick and choose and order on their own.  They all had a problem with the "Spock logo" on the shirt.  Even though that is hand drawn and was commissioned by me they said it was a copyright problem.  This happened quite awhile back when I tried to do the first run of shirts.  So I settled on Uberprints.  I do one bulk run of shirts and get them sent to me then mail them off to those that order.  I wanted to do white this time because I did a colored shirt last time. 
Title: Re: T-shirts - Run number 2
Post by: Dan M on August 26, 2007, 06:41:47 AM
Makes sense.  I hadn't considered the copyright issue with the logo.
Title: Re: T-shirts - Run number 2
Post by: jedijeff on August 26, 2007, 10:37:05 AM
I am good with White Shirt as well, most colours I like and wear. If it is long sleeve, and the sleeves fit loose, then thats cool with me, if the sleeves are tight, then I prefer a T-Sirt. For my Podcast, we used Cafepress, and I did not really care for the shirts, as I felt they fit to tight, and the long sleeve way to tight. Sounds like from Both yours and Dan's experience UberPrints is a great place.
Title: Re: T-shirts - Run number 2
Post by: Ktrek on August 26, 2007, 08:46:12 PM
Well, if you go white you can count me out this time around. Sorry but I won't wear a white T. I also do not want or care for long sleeve Ts. Everyone I have bought has either been too tight or not long enough so no more long sleeves for me on Ts

Rico,

I would like a T Shirt as well.  I like White and short sleeves as well.  It will be real cool.

Thanks

Post by: Rico on August 27, 2007, 06:34:56 AM
Just so you guys know, as the man said - "you can't please all of the people all of the time."  Sorry about that.  But the shirts will be white and short sleeve on this batch.  I've seen a lot of T-shirt runs on various sites and there is always this split on those that like white vs. black T-shirts.  I will try to do a black run in the future for the others.
Title: Re: T-shirts - Run number 2

it's not a problem with me.. I have my blue one.. that will keep me happy. :)

Last couple of days to order folks.  Get them in soon. 

P.S.  Shipping to Canada should be about the same, so don't worry about it.

When do they ship? I forgot... I'd like to wear it down to Renfest (Oct 12)...see how many folks give me a weird look in the po-dunk towns we pass through on the way down.
Title: Re: T-shirts - Run number 2
Post by: Rico on September 24, 2007, 04:31:46 AM
Probably won't make that date Jen.  I'll be placing the order in the next few days with the shirt printer.  Last time it took I think 2-3 weeks to get them to me and then I'll ship them out to those that ordered one.  So best case maybe about 3+ weeks from now.
Title: Re: T-shirts - Run number 2
Post by: Rico on September 26, 2007, 06:08:47 AM
I'm extending the time just a little for this order run of shirts.  You have now until this Friday (9/28) to order one.  I'll be placing the order this weekend.

T-Shirts have shipped to me from the printer.  Hope to have them in a few days.  So I would guess I'll hopefully be packing them up this coming weekend and they will ship out to everyone that ordered one early next week.  Thanks for the orders.  Your shirt or shirts will be on the way to you soon!

The post office just lost my custom leather renfest shoes, I'm a bit leery of them these days. :)

Did you send them on Monday or were they supposed to arrive on Monday (oct 15th)? Just wondering—I haven't received mine yet.

Oh...WAIT...scratch that. I just re-read your post and yes...you said they would "go out no later than Monday".  ;)

Sorry about that.  I got a bit confused by when and where you would be, etc.  But at least it's nearby.

And again.  These all were shipped out on Monday.  So it will take a few days folks depending on where you live.

Actually I was listening to the news this morning and Canada Post is getting overwhelmed by packages from the US. Since the Canadian dollar is at about 1.04 USD at the moment a lot of us are ordering online from the states becuase we can get a lot of stuff much cheaper south of the border.

Apparently becuase of this they are having trouble keeping up with the increased volume of parcels coming in.

I have one of the first run (blue version shirt) left, but it is a large.  These shirts tend to run a bit smaller than typical so it's maybe more like a medium.  Let me know if you want it.  Cost is $25.
