UPDATE:

Should have visual examples soon enough, then when its ready to print turnaround should be two weeks for 50 shirts.

It will be a black shirt, with FULL COLOR lion logo on the back, and the AO Logo across the chest.

Because of the full color these shirts will be more expensive than if they were simply one color. I need to know if everyone is still comfortable with moving forward as I will be funding this up front out of pocket.

Single shirt price - $18.00 Shipped and PayPal'd

Sorry about it being high, but packaged the shirts weigh about 12oz+ and the average shipping cost will be 2.50-3.50 so that is a hefty chunk of it. Hopefully they will come out to be cheaper than that, or possibly in later runs (assuming there are later runs).

Sounds good to me. I'll buy one in medium as soon as I see a sample.

So did you fellas get AGD's permission to sell shirts with their products on it, or did I miss something?

Yup you missed something.

It's been done before, AGD's cool with it.

I posted it last time. Its in one of my past posts.

Should I send a message through an Admin?

You just did. Its all good.



edit........Doh, see post twenty four here. http://www.automags.org/forums/showt...highlight=logo

The sig links still work.

Okay, ^^that would be awesome. But let's just leave it at the lion logo and AO for now. Maybe next run.

Slight setback, my main graphic design buddy just freaked out and left in a coked out tantrum recently...

I have a feeling he won't be involved with this anymore. Frankly the only thing I needed him for was converting the Images in vector, A.I. 7.0, or .CDR files so they can be screen printed on the shirts... My other designing asset can't either, apparently he takes the class covering that next semester...

So I have to grab another designer to shoot a few bucks at to do this now, might take a few days. Really sorry but thought you guys should be informed.

Bear with me boys

[questionful]

don't shoot any bucks til you're sure no one on AO can do that file stuff (pardon my EXTREME ignorance of computer stuff). Is .pdf a vector format? Anyways, my mom took a class on adobe illustrator, and back in mexico my parents ran a screen printing business, so maybe they can help.

Hold up, I have a high-res that might work and I may even have a vectorized version around somewhere. I'll edit this in a few minutes.

EDIT: Couldn't find the huge logo on AGD's site, so I reposted it. http://i25.tinypic.com/jg48l1.jpg
If you don't already have a vector art version I can vectorize that one and send it along - just PM me your email address. Format would be .eps, or I could convert it to PDF or an Adobe Illustrator file. Let me know.

Okay, I talked to my dad. I'm going to try to draw up some negatives for the shirts. I'm going to try to do halftones with the letters. Were you planning on doing halftones? I think I can do it on photoshop.

Were you planning on using one of these?:

The full color one is stretched, how would you guys like the dimensions of the black and white one, but with the full color?

I'll see what I can come up with, I'll get back to you guys in about half an hour.


Just want to let you guys know I'm working on it and it's looking good!

[Emert426]

Alright guys this thing is really moving.

I was hoping you guys would toss around the idea of maybe using a polyester cotton blend instead of a heavier cotton one. Been speaking with some cyclists recently that have team shirts done, and they say the blended ones breathe much better. Thy also say they are not sure, since they have never played paint ball, but they think it would be possible to play in the blended ones easier.

Just a thought!

So is the black in the logo (the banner border, and the lion outlines) going to be done in a different color, or are you going to do a different colored border around the whole design to seperate it from the black of the shirt?

[Emert426]

The logo has been done with a thin outline of white around it.

Cool
Im in for a Med, a Lrg, and an XL right now
may need a few more by the time they come up for sale

are you planning on doing a pile of these shirts, because if they are done well youll have a pm box full of requests for them, so it might be a good idea to make a few to keep in stock

[Emert426]

Since I'm funding it out of pocket, I have to start with a run of 50, then if demand persists do another of 75. And so on, I am also planning on taking recommendations on another run with a lion logo on the front.

But, we will NEVER put any Thug/Gangster symbolism on ANY of our items! hehe
