At one of our recent outings I suggested to Paul that it would be great if we had a shirt that would identify us as a group. I've done a little investigating and approached a local supplier for a price.
The shirts are a good quality polo dress shirt and not BRG but a similar colour called Forrest Green with a white piping at $24.80 each. Extra cost of $10 for any logo (on LHS) and $6 for a name (on RHS) brings the total cost to $40.80 per shirt.
For a minimum order of 20 shirts they will waive the $75 logo setup fee.
I've enclosed a suggested logo and would like suggestions please on the logo and your thoughts on whether or not to continue with the idea.
Cheers, Doug.

 

I like the idea Doug, and it is worth following up. But like anything here getting the numbers is hard work, ie All British Day.
Getting 15 cars out at once is a lot of work, as you would know from car clubs etc.

It would be great if we could get 20 people to commit to purchasing one. There are the NSW,SA, VIC guys too that might be interested.

I could send out a group message to all Qld members and get Jim & Grant to do the same in NSW & SA, and post in the Vic forum as well. We can't send a picture of the shirt in messages but I could put a link to your thread.

 

Thanks Clarke, Even if we can get 10 or so firm orders I'd be happy to pay for the rest and sell them as interest developed. They do women's sizes as well as men's. Just wanted to get some feeling if members think it a good idea or not. And some thoughts on the Logo please - I'm no graphics wizard. I think the embroidery would be better quality than screening - though not sure that the embroidery can do the fade colour in the blue. It may have to be just one straight colour. I personally like the idea of having names on the shirt too, so newer members can relate easier at outings. We'll see how it goes. Cheers.

 

Hi Doug,

Great idea! I'd like to order one if we get enough interest.


Cheers,

Stu

 

Great idea Doug, count me in!.....I'll follow up with NSW and ACT when required.

 

Very cool Shirt. i see all of you are in the land down under. What about the rest of us? I'm guessing the shipping would be ridiculous. We'd probably need to find a Shirt company over here as well. I wonder if anyone else would go for it. Any thoughts or ideas??? Anyone???

Hi Doug
I would buy a shirt too. That's a good looking item.

 

I think there is enough interest to go ahead and order the minimum of 20 shirts in a range of sizes. Is there someone on here with any expertise in developing the logo. Mine was just a suggestion for review.

 

Hi Doug,

I'm okay with your proposed logo. I'll take mine in XXL please with "Stu" imprinted on it.


Cheers,

Stu

 

I think the Shirt is perfect. I especially like the Logo and the colors. A+ if shipping to the USA isn't ridiculous, I'd like one.

Jack

 

I'll contact the shirt supplier to see if I can pay for 20 shirts but order them individually as orders and names come to hand. I don't think there would be any problem with that. I'd still like some professional input for the logo if possible.
Then we just need another outing to get together to distribute them. :-)

 

Postage across the ditch is quite expensive. Perhaps when we decide on a logo then I can send it to you to have it produced locally. Happy to post at cost if that's the way you'd like to go. I'll try to get an estimate sometime soon. Cheers, Doug.

 

Sounds like a plan, thanks.

Jack

 

Sorry Doug, had a pretty full on week. I will get to updating the message list of Qld members and send it out soon.

 

Hi Doug . . . 2 for me please . . . mine a XXXL, but how does one ask a lady (my daughter Megs) what size her chest is? LOL. Will confirm. Lets us know about money mate.

Oh . . . and don't post . . . I need an excuse for both of us to make a weekend visit sometime in near future . . . or I host you guys down here.
What say you?

Cheers,

Ken

 

Yep, count me in.

Update on sizes Doug . . . mens XXXL for "Ken" and ladies size 16 for "Meg".

BTW, we both love your graphics. Embroiders should have no problems with that or the brilliant idea of name on opposite side. I reckon others in NSW & VIC will pick up on this great initiative also. Great work Doug!

Cheers,

Ken

 

please add 1 for me

 

Hi Clarke.
At this point in time please cancel my order for the shirt

Thanks
