Shirt

[BurgerKing]

I'm looking into making a t-shirt for my team. I was thinking about going to http://www.cafeshops.com and having them do it, but then I'd have to buy my own t-shirt. I'm not really into that one, but they make your shirts for free and they get a % of the $$$ you sell? I'm not sure. Anyone know any place where I could just give them what I want on the shirt, pay for it and send it to me? But then I'm like still buying my own shirt. Get me? I'm getting really confused now. Have you all ever made your own shirts or anything of the type? Thanks.

I posted a while back in Dealers Forum the lady that does the T shirts for me. She did the SE AO day T shirt and I posted several other examples of her work. She will do whatever you want on Shirts. Even if you want to supply the shirts. Go look that post up as I put her email addy in there. She does good work for resonable cost. All nice embroidery stuff. Good looking Paintball shirt sample in that thread she can custom and change for you if you like it. Or anything you want really.

Here is the thread with her email in it (http://www.automags.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=117220&highlight=custom)

Examples


Here is a custom Paintball splat shirt she did for Caleb for Christmas

And a custom one she did for me and my "Old Farts Scooter Club" She even made the scooter the color of mine and even made the frog have my color eyes!

And here is my Tech Shirt she did. Simple lettering is what I had on this one:

just look in your yellow pages for a silk screening place or other type of uniform/sports clothing place. Teams, companies and more use these places to get their names on shirts or hats for employees or teammates or whoever.

i got a place right near me in chicago that does it for real good price. usually just got to look around or ask a sporting goods place they may know where sports teams get there stuff done and tell ya. also its pretty easy to make your own if you got a printer you just need those iron on decals.

Thanks guys!

or you could just get your own iron on paper and print out logos you want your self and sew them no your self... my team mate christy made these (the shirts a little dirty and the pic sucks but you get the idea)

[BurgerKing]

Looking good. I need to make sure my logo won't crack off or peel off.

Embroidery is the only thing won't do that in the long term. It's stitching. No paint or applicated stick on to peal.

i mean im not trying to take away from business or anything like that


but if you want a cool shirt that will only cost you like 4$ after shirt and the sticky paper stuff and so far ive washed mine 3 times and its still perfect and not cracked

[Lohman446]

How much is normal - I need to have a dozen or so shirts made up for my team, and frankly I think embroidery is a good idea, but am cocnerned about the cost

[p8ntball1016]

It will be a lot more expensive but you may want to look into custom jerseys. Check out www.customsportsgear.com

[trevorjk]

12 shirts um 40$ the iron on paper maybe 10-15$ depending on the size of the log so about 50-60$ for 12 shirts easily

and they last a while unless your gonna where them like nonstop and washthem nonstop but its always best to get teh actual good stuff like phil pointed out

If you don't ask her you will never know. There is no cost for asking. Tell her what you want and I suspect you will be very suprised how reasonable it will be... ask! ;)
