Its almost Christmas and I want a M42Club shirt. I think we started dialogue on this one but...
Like everyone else, "I know this guy who does shirts..."
Why not think about a pre-buy? I think we could have M42Club.com on the front and on the back, that really cool map that shows where the members are.
So whos with me and who thinks I should have another beir???????

To me it could be as simple as M42Club.com But what about an 318is frontal view on the back and the club site left chest pocket. I know the more colrs the more $$$ Also we should price them so $ could go to web cost.
I say we just get something done. Anything!
-
I was thinking maybe the simple m42 logo on the front and maybe a nice black and white car on the back. Well just black and color shirt. And yes I think we should do this and all profits to the site!!

I say lets go with throttle up! Not alot of voting or design competition. I am willing to pay extra for a 100% cotton. Now I have a "T-shirt guy" who does shirts. I can get a min order and cost. I suggest anyone else on the board that has a "T-shirt guy" do the same and lets post those numbers here.
asubimmer, your design idea is great with me. I will take 3 shirts.
-
count me in for 2
-
I was thinkin along the lines of this on the back, that is if Sam would like his car to be on everyone's shirts ;)

asu, I like that. Here's a thought, avoid the effects on the M42 grill badge so it could clearly be seen. Maybe you could also touch up one of the low beam lights as well.
-
Beautiful! I am there.
-
cleaned it up a bit...

Just to get things started I sent the image to my guy. They are on a 3 day fishing trip and will be back Tuesday. I realize this may not be the "final draft" but thought it wise to get some quotes.
-
yeah thats fine it'd be nice to have a quote, I can try a couple places up here in boone
-
Sorry, been too busy. I need to get back with my T-shirt guys.
-
can we make a list of people that would maybe buy a shirt w/ the cleaned up pic below (on the back) and the M42club logo on the back.
This is just to gauge intrest, if you put your name down you don't HAVE to buy them. But please be honest, if you don't think you are going to buy a shirt then don't put down you want 10 shirts.
I can look up some prices on all cotton shirts and take the image to a shop in Boone to get a quote.
FL318is, I'm not trying to step over you here. If you already have things lined up w/ someone near you then great, I'm just tryin to get the ball rolling :)

I'm in for at least one for sure.
-
Man that would be so awesome, im down keep me updated!
-
I'm in for one, I look pretty damn good w/o a shirt cuz I'm thin, but its too cold here now not to wear one. Poop on Ohio.
-
I'll bet I have to get at least one more though, so prolly. Will Febi Guibo sign it? I'm serious, I think that would be great.:cool:

Actually I think that would be pretty cool, Sam?
Thanks for the great sig pic!
NP enjoy :D

asu, is the image in post #18 the final draft which will be printed on the shirts? If you remove the reflections from the original image, (hood, side) the PS results will look much better IMO. Not quite sure how it's done, but I know it's possible.
Here's an example,

asu,
actually that would be better. Logistics and artwork could be a prob. Please, run with it. I would like 3.

The stamp tool in PS was used to get those results. As to how it's done, I'm not sure, srry.

It's not easy from what I hear and it will take quite a bit of time/effort. Perhaps Febi could do us a big favor and do a photoshoot. I thought he promised us some additional pics after that teaser a month or two ago ;)
Pagin Febi to thread #1434

I have done a little PS in my day. I might be able to help clean things up a little, well just the M42. And the M42CLUB.COM at the bottom looked NICE!
-
yeah the m42 still needs to be cleaner...
but what do you guys think about putting the m42club.com under the car on the back too? I think that'd be a nice touch
-
I added the m42club.com to the back and played w/ the m42...
Final!!

personally I think the pic would look better on the front.

Looks great!
-
would people be intrested in hoodies also?
-
I can help with photoshop stuff once I'm out of my sling =] I work in PS all the time at work. Sling should be off in the next few days!!
As for the shirt, I'll take a Large.
edit: I'd be in for an additional hoodie if we go that way.
-
I would take one!
-
check out the other other shirt I made w/ the logo bigger and centered on the front.
Honestly I like it both smaller and to the side & centered and bigger. So I fugured that it would be nice to see what everyone else thinks.
post #44 ;)
-
I would be happy with either one. They both look great.
-
I like the smaller logo, but agree that the M42CLUB.COM under the car is good (it gives it something to sit on).
I'm in for 2 T-shirts at Medium.
Hoodie like sweatshirt material?
-
ETA on the final product? Oh and what are the colors available, price and shipping charges and when is payment due?

Couldn't have said it better myself.

well I need to get a quote from some local shops here in boone for pricing. The shipping shouldn't be very much I think. As for colors I think a light grey will look best w/ that style of picture, or any lighter shirt. To have a darker shirt the pic would prob have to be white and that would look funny imo. I can play w/ it a bit and see how it looks though. Did you have any colors in mind?
Hoodie like sweatshirt material?
yes sir
-
I will still buy 3 of whatever T's BUT, black would be my last choice. TOO much sun in FL. It would not get much wear.

Here's a couple I did. Didn't take too long. Also didn't know if you guys have already decided on a design or not. I thought it couldn't hurt. I like the one on the left.

Here's a couple more. Enjoy!
-
Nice designs. I'm not partial to any specific color. I just wanted to know if we had to preorder certain colors or sumthin. I'm fine with the light grey myself. If we go darker shirts, the designs will have to be lighter and that would cost more because of the "flash" involved. I worked at a silkscreeners for a lil bit.
-
Gimme some prices and such!
Couple XL tees, probably in white or light gray, and an XXL sweatshirt.
-
Alrighty guys, I'll post up a GB thread as soon as I talk to the printers, I work in the morning but should have time to go there after work. I'll see about hoodies also.
Just a heads up though, we will design new shirts every year to raise $ for the site!!
-
I can change the color to whatever. That was just a few minutes work.
I think we should have a couple designs available, THEN change them every year. It's hard to make everyone happy with just one. Hoodies and Ts sounds good to me. As for colors, idk. Just my 2 cents. I'm a n00b so, whatever you guys wanna do.

I like those designs soccerjoe. One of the probs with multiple designs is the cost will go up dramatically :(
The larger # of one shirt design we order, the cheaper it will be.
-
That's understandable. Maybe after the first batch we can afford multiple designs. It was just a thought.
Oh, and I noticed another thread in the Suggestions area on the same topic. Maybe a merge is in order?
-
I'm liking those designs created by soccerjoe. We should get some estimates for the designs that have been created and go from there. asu, maybe you could contact LedJetta (http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=76356) for a quote, just a thought.
-
thanks for the lead Eurospec, if the locals don't work out I'll try that.
Please go to the new thread (http://www.m42club.com/forums/showthread.php?p=13609#post13609)for info on buying the shirts. The info will be updated tommorro w/ specifics.
This thread will be stay opened to discuss the shirt so that the FS thread stays clean ;)
-
I think if we wanna be fair to everyone, instead of just selecting the design, we should make a poll of three or four to choose from. like what was said in the suggestions thread, we should make a poll and decide that way. I know I am new to this forum and haven't contributed anything so far, but i am still a member of this club and i think everyone should have a say in what the club t shirts look like. Still this is just my opinion but i think there at least a few people who agree with me.
-
I can understand that, everyone liked the design so far and we are trying to get them out by early dec. If we wait then they prob won't get out this year. It can take up to 2 weeks to make the shirts, and it prob will take that long due to the season.
Next year we can start a thread earlier and there will be plenty of time for everyone to design and select their fav's. But for this year, the final design is in the sticky thread.
-
right on. after rereading my post i realize that i sounded like a bit of an ass. my bad. i just woke up when i posted. it wasn't my intention. i agree with next year. let me know if there is anything i can do to help!
-
...and lived through it, I can relate to both sides. Important "thang" is to cut through the " analysis paralysis" and get the product out. Once Stage 1 hits the streets there will be more interest and anticipation to Stage 2.
When we have the "norm" established then, the next run is easier. joe, I like your designs, and no, you do not even come close to sounding like an ass. Trust me, I put up with them everyday to get mod money for my 318is. ASU is moving forward with the first year production. I, like you, appreciate his design and efforts.
I propose next year in September we form up, design comp and deadline vote. In the meantime I gotta get some Christmas T's. My family will love the design and the 100% cotton.

lol your fine. We are just trying to get them out and everyone seemed to like the design so I'm trying to keep it rolling. But I really do like some of your designs, the only thing I would change is to keep the font for M42 the same as the site's font. But its not a big deal ;)
And yeah maybe Sept would be good to start next year. I think maybe a month or so of designing. Then a few weeks to discuss and vote, then print :D
-
Sounds like a plan.
