T-Shirt

[gooten1]

I know we have the car stickers...but I had the idea to make t-shirts. I was browsing CafePress, and couldn't really find any good BMW shirts that I liked. I want a shirt to wear to car shows, and I'd buy a 318ti.org shirt. It would look cool with the 318ti.org logo on the front breast, and just a pic of the car on the back. What do you think?

Thats a great idea,even a stenciled picture of our car would be cool looking. Maybee a picture on the back with the 318ti.org and also on the front have it say 318ti.org on the front of the shirt on the side

[jmoti]

Hey, that sounds cool! I'm in.

[nick_hegel]

Very cool idea!

[lkwd318ti]

Hey I'd be down to get a ti shirt.
Maybe a www.318ti.org on the front...and a picture a ti's rear in the back.

Good idea, we should do it.

Hmmm... how about the 318ti.org logo on the front left, and some ti-related quotes or phrases on the back? E.g., "One mans trunk impairment is another mans ghetto booty." Or... "Six cylinder? We don't need no six cylinder! We don't got to show you any steenkin' six cylinder" (but make that quote more accurate.)

[roadrash]

Just wondering...

If the BMW logo or roundel were used, would we need any sort of license from BMW to use that logo?

And assuming the shirts are sold at a price above cost, where does the profit go? Of course, the shirts could be sold at cost and avoid that issue altogether.

Geez... I REALLY need to get a cafepress site up and running.

I set up an account on cafepress a few weeks ago in preparation of distributing a calendar. Then I was thinking, how many people are going to want a calendar with other peoples cars? My guess is we will sell 12 calendars.

I'll look into the clothing line this weekend.
Profit? Profit goes to little things like free decals or maybe one of these days we can sponsor a large meet somewhere. All monies collected sits in my paypal account and is used to pay for hosting and licensing fees plus contributions to developers of mods that I use here. And let's not forget I've been paying for hosting for several years on my own. ;)

ABSOLUTELY NO BMW OR ROUNDEL. Trust me, it will not be hard for someone from BMW to reach me by cellphone within minutes. And please, no one set up and merchandising on their own.

All I ask is that you buy quality made t-shirts MADE IN USA! :evil_lau:

i recon 318ti.org on the front and maybe the ti pic on the back like a wiremesh one....

[stormos]

actually reverse that!

[myblueTI]

I think we should have the 318ti.org logo on the front and some kind of pic of a Ti on the back. Im in though.:)

[96cali]

does anyone have access to a graphics program to render 318ti.org in chrome like the badge on the cars?

[stormos]

i got photoshop but i ain't all that on it..... working solid for next 9 days too :(

[LN318TI]

i could try but no promises

PS: I'd much rather just design something. And let everyone see it. I have some expirence with iron on shirts and stuff and I designed them all so let me know.

[1996 328ti]

I only see printing on the front of shirts.
How about this for the women of 318ti.org?

"Two ways to customize! You can add your own images to the front and back of this product!"

Clicking on "Create it!" sends you to a page that shows tabs for the front/back design.

(Hey, if you don't get enough interest in 318ti-related shirts, I'd be glad to sell you a license to use the pic used for my avatar. I'm sure that'd sell a lot of shirts. LOL)

[roadrash]

I KNOW someone is wondering "what other products can you get at cafepress?", so...
This is the list of cafepress products (http://www.cafepress.com/cp/customize/?viewall=true)

I'm in on both so make that 13 calendars :biggrin:

I think a big 318ti.org in center of chest, with a pic of a ti on the back with one of road rash's quotes would be fresh!!! or how about a small 318ti.org on the left sleeve. That way when we're at a stop light with our arm resting on the window sill we can rep the site :cool:

Just some thoughts. Either way count me in!!

White t-shirt right? In case we have a wet t-shirt contest :tongue:

Hoodies would be sweet!!! Probably expensive to make...

[stormos]

$20 on cafepress! i'd pay another $20 for the uk shipping no probs!!

[gooten1]

I actually like the idea of having something on the left arm, but I don't think cafepress will let us do that. It might have to be a screen print job. If we decide on something that cafepress doesn't offer, there are several good screenprinting shops here, and I know a few people, so I could probably get a good deal on a box or two of shirts.

Shoe lace shop ? ;)

Ok, someone post up a proposed design for the back of the shirt. I'll select one and put it up on cafepress. I'm going to try to keep the price down, I'm not trying to make any money on y'all.

There is nothing there yet.
I think sponsors should pay cost and non-sponsors an extra buck or two.
Based on how the ole 318ti paypal account is doing, I can offer sales, that is below cost when I know expenses are covered.

[gooten1]

That works. We still need to see a few designs for the back of the shirt. I should have pics back of my car soon. Maybe one of those would work for a design.
