benos Posted June 26, 2001 Share Posted June 26, 2001 Chris, and anyone else - I'm rolling around some designs for the requested T's. I'm wondering - on the front logo, do you want it to be a "centered" logo, or something more subtle and maybe "pocket-sized"? And what about the http://www.brianenos.com on the back - "medium sized"? be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38supPat Posted June 26, 2001 Share Posted June 26, 2001 Pocket size on front and medium size on back sounds good to me. Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Chevalier Posted June 26, 2001 Share Posted June 26, 2001 fyi, I know a tremedous provider of embroidered wear, and it's all priced in Canadian dollars.. Ask Pat or Micheal if they are happy with the quality. R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted June 26, 2001 Share Posted June 26, 2001 I also like the pocket size front, medium on back. Being in the SW you might find this odd. But, how about a long sleeve version. You remember the Ohio weather right Brian? With long sleeves you could put something on the sleeve itself.

38supPat Posted June 26, 2001 Share Posted June 26, 2001 Ross's contact...lol is very good, Mike and I just had shirts done and they're great! The same individual did our Team Canada shirts last year at the Pan-Ams and they were so good teams from other countries almost ripped them off our backs trying to barter for them.

Jon Merricks Posted June 27, 2001 Share Posted June 27, 2001 Pocket size but no pocket. Right? Have you thought about something like Team Ancient or whatever was talked about before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted June 27, 2001 Author Share Posted June 27, 2001 Jon, Yes, pocket size but no pocket. I think I like the guys suggestions on just a custom yin/yang logo on the front, and the be.com on the back. On colors, I was thinking of just white on black or black on white - you guys want tricky colors too? be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Merricks Posted June 27, 2001 Share Posted June 27, 2001 Black shirt silver letters is cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulW Posted June 27, 2001 Share Posted June 27, 2001 No Please not black, too damn hot hear in Florida to wear black. Now a red with black and white logo's would be cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord of Allusions Posted June 27, 2001 Share Posted June 27, 2001 Yeah, white is a pretty good basic color for a tee, especially in the summer (and you're running around in the blazing sun). I'm rather partial to tan myself (I'm a desert rat), and tan is a little more forgiving of dirt than white (do you really want to shoot prone in a white shirt?), but I'd go with any light color over a dark color for sure. As for the signage, I like the pocket-sized yin-yang on the front in black and white (maybe black and red), and suggest this for the back (centered) in whatever color Brian likes: TEAM ENOS "]http://www.brianenos.com unless Brian dislikes the "Team Enos" thing. I think it's rather cool, myself. Not that I'm into hero worship, mind you , but I do think highlighting the name is a way of signaling concordance with the philosophies Brian espouses and implicitly recommending them. Which, IMO, is the point of wearing the shirt. BTW, I'm the opposite of small and like to wear my tee shirts (which is about the only kind of shirt I wear outside of very formal settings) loose, so I request and recommend offering at least XXL and XXXL sizes (at additional cost as necessary). Also, I recommend going with good, solid tees that are pre-shrunk and have a thick weave, because we can assume they're going to see some action. And I HATE starting off with an XXXL that becomes an XL after a few washings. My $0.02. LOA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord of Allusions Posted June 27, 2001 Share Posted June 27, 2001 Actually, I would shorten the back to (centered): TEAM ENOS "www.brianenos.com" (omit the quotes -- I had to use them to keep the board from putting "http://" in front of the URL) since the "http://" part is pretty much a given these days (i.e., I doubt anyone is going to try to telnet in for a chat).

ErikW Posted June 27, 2001 Share Posted June 27, 2001 Red, white, and black are the colors of the ubiquitous STI shirts you'll see everybody and his dog wearing at an STI contingency match. (Not to mention at non-contingency matches, but don't get me started.) If you want to make a useful shooting shirt, it has to be cool and light for the summer. It needs a dark stripe on the gun side so it doesn't show oil and soot from your gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Dunlop Posted June 28, 2001 Share Posted June 28, 2001 If its designed to be worn while shooting, a button type collar is good for those stages where a phone disk etc must remain on the person. P.D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted June 28, 2001 Author Share Posted June 28, 2001 Great imput guys, thanks! (Especially on the STI thing. I forgot.) Do we need fancy colors or are just the basics OK? Like white, black, TAN, .... I'm definitely with you on the "www.brianenos.com" - don't like the http crap. And, I have to say, I don't like the Team Enos thing. I think just the be.com is cool. On size, I was thinking of M, L, XL, - just to keep down initial inventory. (I basically function out of my girlfriends (Ghost Cat's) apartment.) Now I'm seein we might need XXL - anyone else on this. OFG's? be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErikW Posted June 28, 2001 Share Posted June 28, 2001 Remember, you don't need the "www" if space is tight. The brianenos.com domain resolves to the "www" server. (And nobody is going to try ftp.brianenos.com.)

Ross Chevalier Posted June 28, 2001 Share Posted June 28, 2001 I vote two colour options, one light, tan being my choice, and one dark, red being different. And being a member of the OFS club, I vote for XXXL. Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill H Posted June 28, 2001 Share Posted June 28, 2001 How about light grey so that oil spots don't show up as bad while still being cool in the hot weather. Maybe purple logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted June 29, 2001 Share Posted June 29, 2001 A few people are talking about picking a color that won't show dirty easily. The shirts are obviously going to get dirty because people will be shooting in them. Sounds like a good idea. Fucntion first. Are we limited in the number of colors for some reason? And, while I don't want a big pocket, is there a way to get an affordable shirt with a little tiny 'barney bullet' pocket? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
