Gauging Interest - Club Shirts
« on: June 10, 2012, 07:07:21 am »
One point brought up at yesterday's meeting was that we never seem to really have a "Club Shirt".
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.

If you want it to Look like a club shirt, it should be either all
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.

I certainly agree, but price will always be a factor.
 
No harm in having both available though.
 
We also would have to agree on a color for the club.

If you're doing full color sublimation, you'd probably need white or light gray shirts.  For full color club logos, sublimation would be the only cost-effective method and sublimation inks are transparent, so darker color shirts would affect the end result of the print.

I thought the RFTH shirts WERE the official club shirts.

If we do this, i agree with going polo shirts...just a bit more up-scale, and we probably all own enough t-shirts.

Definitely Polo-style shirts... and ball caps, too!

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???

Expanding on Tim's idea, on the front  "We Drive" over the Pegasus logo and "Excitement" underneath it in the left chest pocket position with the official  Georgia Fieros logo on the back.....

.....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.

Front:
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.
Again, just my thoughts.

The front pocket isn't available in some brand shirts.  One year, I had to have my printer cut up a spoiled shirt, fabricate a pocket and sew it on because Ed Parks wouldn't buy a shirt without a pocket for his cigarettes.  I think his motto was "If I don't kill myself on the run, I'll do it with a cigarette when I get back". 

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.

Dwayne Schneider, the sup from "One Day At A Time".

Doesn't look good when using a polo shirt though ;D

I like this idea (not that I matter 'cause I can't afford one... ;-)
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.

Me and white just don't get along, but it would be multi-colored after a few days anyway.

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:

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.   ;)

Here's an offer I got:
 
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?
