Club T-Shirts?

dragon · Post by **dragon** » Fri Apr 15, 2005 6:51 am

Have to say, I prefer polo shirts as they look smart, yet casual - comes from working in polo shirts for the last 7 years. I find that most T-Shirts you get printed shrink in the first wash, or over time turn very short and very wide, so to me tshirts are a nono unless they were really very top quality ones, which I doubt would happen.

I wouldn't mind a club fleece though, especially for those cold birmingham and scotland car park standing meets

I think what ever we go for in design or garment I think we own it to our selves to have a high quality get up. A nice quality garment with a screen printed logo or even embroidered.

And please lets stay away from nylon, other wise I will sweet like a beast.

My club gets a whole bunch of shit printed each year and the company we use is shirts works, you create a design and you have to get a run of ten done but that can be on any garment you wish it normally works out at between Â£8 and Â£15 for a T depending on the quality you wish.

Ideas lads those with good photoshop skills get all over it.

Me too!

Tidy polo shirt (Volvo blue and maybe white logo) and fleece with same logo in white on a navy or black fleece.
Us Welsh boys could have the dragon logo as well on opposite side to logo!

No disrespect to the T-shirt brigade, but I am 40+, hence the preference for the polo shirt.
As somebody has mentioned, I'm sure that all sides can be catered for with relatively small numbers to order.
Look forward to seeing the logo designs/ suggestions.

The UK guys could have logos at the other side than EU folks!

We are trying to have shirts or polos ready before the Luxembourgmeeting. They will contain the new clublogo (final adjustments are being made)

please... only ONE desogn...

else i would like to have a local....( fill in to you own likes, national toad, goat, sheep, cow, donkey, horse, etc) U name it on it..

were a european club, right ?

One more maybe useful idea... I saw a sticker that has the shape of the car worked in it ( the contour, if u like, from the side, with the long wedged nose) ( was it the dutch 480 register?)

not the same of course .... but it has as a pro every body who never heard of the car recognises it I think....

not every one asociates the "number 480"and "volvo" with the actual car...

please a polo shirt... in a wise size range.....

XXL please !

( hope it wil not cost me like... 50 euro's ???)

There will be a single design for the shirt/polo or what it will be, we are getting price quotes right now.

Officially we have not yet brought out the new logo, so I can't tell too much about it

It will, of course, contain the 480 in a way, but not 'en profile' as the 480 Register already uses, even though that looks quite chique

50 euros for a shirt or polo sounds way overpriced. I haven't heard the price quotes yet, but I cannot imagine it would be that expensive...

Murf · Post by **Murf** » Sun Apr 17, 2005 4:49 pm

how about stick an extra Â£1 on the price which could go towards the club getting a new server or whatever??

Of course there will be a small extra added to the production price per item, won't be much...

That money can then be used to increase the clubs assets and buy new items in the future. All money will go straight into the club's cashbook

daniÃ«l. does this mean that you've got it all in order for the t-shirts already?

turnac · Post by **turnac** » Sun Apr 17, 2005 10:35 pm

50 euro??? that is waaaaay overpriced unless it is a designers' item....

lol!! 50Euros was just a random number VF set as a "too much" figure!

A hoody or fleece I think would be good, probably best to stick with Black ink IMO, and a nice warm blue or something for the material.

Fleece would be good for the cold carpark standing type meetings, but not much use in the summer

I'd go for the normal T or Polo / V neck T as that's fairly universal.
