When we meet for events or functions, mostly we all wear a mix-match of either RFTH shirts or some other "off-the-wall" Fiero shirt.
Pat and I briefly spoke about a design idea for a truly GAFC shirt. If we can get enough interest/commitments on a club shirt, I'll get with Kevin to see what we can come up with as far as price.
Pat recommended something along the line of the popular phrase "Got Milk?" on the front of the shirt: "Got Excitement?" then a Fiero logo next to it and then perhaps our club logo on the back?
Maybe have this available on both T-Shirts and polo shirts, depending on what you would prefer?
Open for ideas. Please post them here.
Thanks.

Polo Shirts or all T-Shirts.
Personally I would go with all Polo Shirts because they are look better at events.
Plus our RFTH shirts are T-Shirts.
Post by: Donster on June 10, 2012, 11:37:34 am
No harm in having both available though.
We also would have to agree on a color for the club.

If we do this, i agree with going polo shirts...just a bit more up-scale, and we probably all own enough t-shirts.
Post by: Fiero GTB on June 10, 2012, 03:11:11 pm
No offense, Pat, but too many people use a "Got _________" slogan; it's just become way overused IMHO.
I don't know if it's ever been official, but I kinda thought that the GFC slogan was always "We Drive Excitement" so I'd stick with that, or just do something like the Fiero logo with "MEMBER" under it.
Color... now that's an interesting (and important) question!
Charlie's comments about dye-sub in consideration, I wish we could somehow do a really bright color???

.....OR, reverse the order and put the logo on front like we do for RFTH shirts and the Pegasus logo and slogan on the back. Kevin has a good Pegasus logo that he uses on It's A Fiero Thing tshirts. Personally I'm unsure about using Member since some potential buyers may not be members.

DRIVE EXCITEMENT? WE DO!
Back:
Logo or GEORGIA FIERO CLUB or even include "IT'S A FIERO THING - YOU WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND!"
As to Charlie's remark about "Member", I was hoping that this eddition would be for "Members Only", but we could certainly offer standard shirts to anyone.
Just a thought.

I am absolutely FOR a front pocket.
That would present a good place for the logo.

If we can't find shirts with pockets, most of you are old enough to know how James Dean rolled his up in the sleeve of his tshirt. In his case it wasn't the cigarette that got him, but a Porsche Speedster.

I like this idea (not that I matter 'cause I can't afford one... ;-)
.....OR, reverse the order and put the logo on front like we do for RFTH shirts and the Pegasus logo and slogan on the back.
I also like the TAN polo shirt I got when I first joined years ago. White just gets dirty far too soon - I can never keep anything white clean for very long.

Dwayne Schneider comment... ROTFL!!!
Here's a pocket polo:

Or, maybe we could look at a different style, like this short-sleeve shirt, available either with a button-down collar, or "Camp" style that can be worn tucked in, or outside the pants:
http://www.amazon.com/UltraClub-Cypress-Sleeve-Pocket-Button/dp/B0083V08WI/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1339379248&sr=8-4 (http://www.amazon.com/UltraClub-Cypress-Sleeve-Pocket-Button/dp/B0083V08WI/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1339379248&sr=8-4)
I never did like the IT'S A FIERO THING- YOU WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND slogan... just me, but sounds pretentious. But, then, you probably wouldn't understand. ;)

Polo shirt with embroidery, (S~XL mens, S~XL ladies), you choose a color.
This will include:
Georgia Fiero Club logo on Left Chest.
Small Fiero logo on rear under collar.
Your name (real name or screen name) on either right chest or right sleeve; this individualizes the shirt to each club member.
This would be embroidered and not printed!
$25 each, group discount may apply, I don't know / don't think so, as this is already a low price.
Cool?

Kevin, what is the texture of the material? Are they like Izod or tshirt texture? What is the blend? I've had requests for all cotton because other blends or textures irritated their skin. Would we have a choice of material and style?
Post by: Donster on June 12, 2012, 01:58:56 pm
What is the intended design, front and back?
Georgia Fiero Club logo on Left Chest.
Small Fiero logo on rear under collar.

The soft pique knit is shrink resistant and easy to care for, so your group will always look its best.
- 7-ounce, 100% ring spun combed cotton heavyweight pique (preshrunk)
- Garment washed for softness
- Double-needle stitching throughout
- Flat knit collar and cuffs
- Horn-tone buttons
- Locker patch
- Side vents

I thought the idea was for us to look like we all belong to the same club.
For instance If we are at a function such as pigeon forge people would automatically
know we are a club that is well organized.
Post by: Duchess on June 12, 2012, 03:56:40 pm
Everybody could write his/her favorite color and the majority wins and that will be "the" color.
What do you think?

So much for them all being the same color.

I cannot argue with that. But I know it will be difficult agreeing on a "club" color.

That sounds like a plan.
Lets start a color choice thread.
I like Light Blue.
Post by: GrannyLinda on June 12, 2012, 07:50:46 pm
Perhaps we could change the color each year?
What do I know?
Why would we change the color every year ?
Couldn't that be a little pricey on top of dues each year ?
Of course NOBODY is required to buy a club shirt each year.
If we are going to change colors each year, should we put the year on them ?

However, my opinion is that we should agree on a "club" color and stick with it, as for "club identity", as Linda has previously mentioned. With a different color every year, we'd wind up wearing a mix-mash of Fiero shirts at events again, just like we do now.
Just my thoughts.

If you choose a different color each year, then just let everyone have their choice of colors every year. You'd end up with the same assortment, eventually. No need to have the year or MEMBER on them, since that would almost require a new shirt each year, and those who don't renew their membership would still appear to be current members. The sand color shirt I have has our logo embroidered and it also has the title of Vice President 2006. Kind of limits me to wearing it for just one year.
While being a member is important for the strength of the club, being associated with the club is first priority. I'd rather have a bunch that is associated with us and participates and shows our colors than to have folks that won't buy a shirt because they must be paid members.

I'm afraid white or stone would just let our 'group' blend in to any crowd. The light blue will stand out a bit better.
No year joined, etc. Keep 'em simple.

GAFC logo on left chest, Fiero logo under the collar on the back, name on right chest or sleve.
I will pay for a prototype in that color, but mine will most likely also say "Member: Donster", or something similar. My choice, but I plan on being a member until I can no longer get in or out of a Fiero anyways. ;D

Could that Fiero Logo be just a little lower and larger than the sample Don had?
How much extra for your name or username on the sleeve?

I see most voted light blue.... better then ash grey that shows sweat. I see someone else said they wanted a color to make us standout at events. The best color I ever saw was orange and yellow. Not the pastels. The real ones. You don't get folks wearing them in a group often and you could easily spot members. I think orange would be awesome! We are the ga fiero club. Ga has the peach.... so orange would be a cool choice to me! Be very purpose based color with some meaning behind it. Though I'm sure it's too late, but I thought I would throw it out there....

So where is the graphics for the shirt folks are commenting on? Did I miss it in the thread?
It would have the Georgia Fiero Club logo on the left chest pocket area and a Fiero logo embroidered top center of the back, just below the collar. Name or username on the sleeve just above the hem, if you want it.

So I saw Tim yesterday and he filled me in on the shirts a bit more. Any chace someone could post a pic of the prototype shirt so we could see it? From what Tim described they logos seem quite small. Just thinking out loud again... but if you are going with a pastel that blends into a crowd like the blue does.... would u not want the logo to at least stand out? From what he is
describing i could wear my polo from my old dealership job and blend in with you guys from 5 feet away. If u are going to go tame on the color least bring some bold with the logo by going bigger. Would bigger logos cost more? Also i here there are hats too? Any pitures of those?
