I like design B. It emphasizes the message rather than the team number, yet provides the team number too.

I suggested "C" but I voted for "B". I would prefer that the "Team #93" was centered below the text, but it's fine either way. :)

Oh, I didn't realize the voting would start so soon on the back. I guess no one saw my idea I posted in the front-side vote thread. It was a compromise between B and C, which are getting the most votes.

Oh well. If it's too late for my idea, B probably makes the strongest recruiting statement.

Gargs - is this what you had in mind? :)

Just so everyone knows, QCH2002 has put a lot of work into this and I don't want to look like a buttinski by throwing a new variation into the mix at the last minute. I would recommend that everyone vote for one of the four designs currently in the poll, then any fine-tuning can be done afterwards.

Another factor to consider will be the printing costs. We may need to keep things simple just so we don't end up with a bunch of $37 T-Shirts. :p It may also be possible that we could do a run of several different designs, depending on the initial setup price.

To be honest, I'd be quite happy with any of them. :)

You're totally right, our design might end up being picked by cost constraints after we shop these designs around.

BTW, the one you made is pretty much EXACTLY as I imagined it! (great minds think alike? :D)
Maybe when this vote is over, we can have a vote-off between the winner and this other design? If there's any interest, that is.

I am up for some tweaking after this poll is done. If "C" receives a good number of votes but "B" wins, then we can talk about merging the two as Garg and Prof indicated. I just want to get the idea off the design phase and on to the information collection phase... :thumbsup:

I'm looking forward to the wearing it around town and dribbling beer on it phase. :cheers:

Just a thought....the big 93 looks like a football number jersey rather than a team number designation. I'd prefer the smaller number and the word team in front of the number for clarity. That way if someone sees the shirt and doesn't talk to us, they still might get to us with the website and team number.

QCH

I believe the "Football" look was intentional look.... at least that's the way I designed it anyway. Oh... {BUMP}

Yup. Thanks for the bump, otherwise I may not have noticed this thread. I voted C, but I like the merging idea to get the message across as well.

Prof has it right on the printing costs being a concern if we go too far. I plan on buying at least two, probably more, of these shirts, so if they're $37 I might not be able to.

Have you guys considered the idea of tacking on a few dollars to the price that goes toward the team fund? I certainly wouldn't mind if that were the case, it's all a good cause. :thumbsup:

Yep... already had that in mind... Assuming the shirts are not $30 buck. ;D

bikerboy

QCH

Can I still claim "off for the holiday's"????

Ummmm..... uh, my finger was sprained last week and couldn't type the dash (-) needed for t-shirt... I am getting better so I should be able to type through the pain and begin the pricing email....

In other words.... sorry. I forgot...:sad2:

You're ears must have been burning because I just asked the same question to our T-Shirt contact. I hope to have info really soon. I am really sorry about the delay. :)

What's the news on the shirt....quote received over a month ago...did I miss a post about price and ordering?

QCH

19 Apr 2006, 2:49am

Now it's a waiting game... The quote was accepted (by me), the offical artwork was sent, it was sent back for touchup, sent back and approved by their art guy. They are now working on the final proof... That should be done this week or first part of next week. Then, if I think it's good... OFF TO PRINTING!!!

I'm using a local shop that is getting swamped with sports team silk screening, so we are a few notches down in the queue. Cool?

Trust me... I'm not dropping the ball on these shirts... when I get info, I'll let you all know. I am as eager as you guys... :D

Still to come. Once QCH gets the shirts in his hot little hands we'll all be able to order one. There will be plenty to go around. :thumbsup:

do you have an estimated cost of the shirts or are you unsure still?

bikerboy

QCH

20 Apr 2006, 5:18pm

Right now I'm shooting for between $10 and $15 plus shipping. We may be able to go for less but it depends on the demand. I ordered 150 t-shirts of various sizes. When they are sent to printing, I'll start a thread asking for payment so I can get these shirts out the door!!!
