benos Posted May 8, 2002 Share Posted May 8, 2002 As of today, I'm leaning toward a tastefully sized logo on the front of the shirt - shirt pocket area - and the >www.brianenos.com< across the top of the back. On the front logo, I'm working with combining the "letter A" from the Ancient logo with the three character Japanese "letters" for Maku Mozo!, which as we all know means "Don't be deluded!" And maybe having the (words) Maku Mozo! on the front, under the graphic, and the translation, Don't be deluded! on the back, under the right hand side of the >www.brianenos.com<. You know how, when you see the front side of a t-shirt and it's "incomplete," you tend to look at the back "for the rest." be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfinney Posted May 10, 2002 Share Posted May 10, 2002 Sounds like a pretty cool shirt design.... I don't generally wear any logo shirts when shooting (its like everybody thinks they are Nascar drivers, or something).... if you are really "sponsored" thats one thing, but why give free advertising if not? But I'd wear a Team Ancient shirt, this site (and Brian's book) has "re-energized my shooting. I'm having fun again. Count me in! (by the way, how old do you have to be to BE "Ancient" ? Or is it a state of mind? ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDean Posted May 10, 2002 Share Posted May 10, 2002 "Deluted" What does it mean? During the 2 years I spent in the land of the rising sun, I learned a lot of phrases like "another beer please" and "excuse me" (used on the trains mostly), or the favorite "Kumpi-umpi". I'm not really sure what the hell the last one meant, but it sure got the crowd fired up at the kareoke bars.... <font size=14>Maku Mozo!!</font> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted May 13, 2002 Share Posted May 13, 2002 I'm continuing to work with my graphics wizard/consultant this week on finalizing the shirts. I've got one more cool idea in the works... be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted May 15, 2002 Share Posted May 15, 2002 OK, I've got some cool graphics/logos coming together for the shirts. I checked the t-shirt supply site Shooter grrl posted, and it looks like they'll only do a logo on the front side of the shirt! And, they only offer white and gray. That stinks. Now I'm trying to decide if I can handle "inventorying" the required amount of shirts. be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nik Habicht Posted May 15, 2002 Share Posted May 15, 2002 Brian, If it would help I'd be willing to pre-order a couple of shirts. If some of the other forum regulars feel the same way, maybe it would lessen the burden of storage space. It would just be ugly from the time they arrived, until you could get them shipped.....

Ron Ankeny Posted May 15, 2002 Share Posted May 15, 2002 Brian: I would also pre-order some shirts if it would help. Could you find a supplier who would ship direct to the customer? Would be nice if you could pick up some pocket change and never handle the product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted May 15, 2002 Share Posted May 15, 2002 Thanks Nik and Ron, But I'd still have to keep a fairly large inventory on hand. Yes, I had high hopes to not "handle the product." Especially t-shirts. No matter what I end up doing, I'm digging on the design I've got so far. So I'll probably at least make a few, for myself if nothing else... limited sizes and color combos - L and XL, maybe one color to start... If "we" could only pick one color, what would it be? be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonedaddy Posted May 15, 2002 Share Posted May 15, 2002 Ghost dog, I'm seeing a GOLD logo and lettering on a dark background. Maybe Jade Green or Navy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Merricks Posted May 16, 2002 Share Posted May 16, 2002 If you could have every member pre order two, thats 1700 shirts. That would be cool. Oh yea can you get them done and shipped out so I can wear it this Sat. How about a dark tan or biege so its not to hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cypher Posted May 16, 2002 Share Posted May 16, 2002 BE, Whatever you come up with... I would definitely take a couple off your hands. I'm pretty sure most of us feel the same way. Don't listen to Jon... we know this takes time... NEXT Sat. would be fine. Homero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charles Posted May 16, 2002 Author Share Posted May 16, 2002 I think a light color would be a good idea for the hot sun. I am also willing to preorder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonedaddy Posted May 16, 2002 Share Posted May 16, 2002 sorry, I forgot about you desert dwellers. Here in the cool, blue, nothern Rockies we are afforded so many more fashion choices. Brian's legendary "Elmer Fudd" hat with the ear flaps would be considered pretty stylish locally. Last Saturday, our shoot was snowed out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris4d Posted May 16, 2002 Share Posted May 16, 2002 Color: limited sizes and color combos.... bone/tan/khaki black/negro dark green/jade If "we" could only pick one color, what would it be? bone/tan/khaki :-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shooter Grrl Posted May 16, 2002 Share Posted May 16, 2002 Our softball shirts have logo's on both sides. And White is my preferred color and Grey is David's preferred color! However, BE - I'll handle the inventory and shipping if you so desire! I also have contacts and catalogs from "real" shirt companies from my days as a promo designer :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBChaffin Posted May 16, 2002 Share Posted May 16, 2002 I'm in for a shirt or two as well, and can preorder if necessary. Color doesn't matter (to me). Preferably not white I think. Shows dirt and sight black too easily. The argument for light colors is valid though. I think you'll be able to pull in some decent money off the shirts, but it will take some volume to overcome the setup fee for the screens and stuff. My sister is an artist and designs T-shirts for groups/events on occasion. It may take some looking to find a screenprinter that will do what you need. The preorder deal probably isn't a bad idea at all. That would cover all the initial setup and shirts, and cover a small inventory for the near future. Just some thoughts...

davecutts Posted May 16, 2002 Share Posted May 16, 2002 I'll still buy one, or two if you get me a small for the wife, think tight and use your imagination :-). I like khaki if it is covering my butt other wise I find it over rated. I like black for the winter months and white for the summer months. Like the home and away jerseys of you favorite hockey team.

benos Posted May 16, 2002 Share Posted May 16, 2002 Thanks for the offer to pre-order everyone. But, it may not be worth the hassle of keeping track of the orders until I have product... I can cover the initial purchase. On color - I'm totally with the light color routine, if I only go for one color (at first). (AZ) For two color choices, I'd definitely go with light/white and dark/black. I think in light colors, gray is harder to "match." White and tan work better overall. In dark, black with red white, or gold is cool... I may do some surfin and see if I can find any comparable companies to the one Shooter grrl listed. Shooter grrl, Are the shirts you're speaking of from the site you listed? I can't find any info for a logo on the back...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benos Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 Ok all, I really have been working hard on the graphics for the Tshirt. (Solid the last two days...) It sucks being a picky b - the more I mess with it, the harder it is to just go with something. (But it does keep getting better.) Anyway, I'm building a web page to demo the graphic choices. I still have one or two more designs to layout. I should have it done and posted by tomorrow. I'll link it to this thread, and I'll have an email link on the page so you can send me your vibe. I think they'll be worth the wait. (Meaning I think they're gonna be "the the.") Thanks for your patience - be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flexmoney Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 I was thinking that I might like to see "visual patience" along the top/inside of my forearms on a long sleeve shirt...kinda like a little reminder.
