I have been asked if I would inquire about this like I did the hats.

If we were to offer t-shirts or sweatshirts, how much interest would there be?

I think this is much trickier then hats to try and order. You have to have several different sizes.

Coon · January 15, 2010, 09:34:38 PM

Sounds like a good plan. I'm in. ;D

I would differently get t-shirt and sweatshirt if available.

Instead of getting all the sizes maybe just get L, XL and XXL. I would think that would cover all most everybody here.

Jeff · January 15, 2010, 09:37:45 PM

I dunno if xxl will do it... ;)

WDH · January 15, 2010, 09:40:25 PM

XL will fit me just fine ;D.

DonT · January 15, 2010, 09:42:05 PM

One large for me please

isawlogs · January 15, 2010, 09:54:59 PM

Shirts are always a problem because of the quantity that needs be ordered of different sizes , there would be a pile of money tide up in it . If you do go there , I would get one if it aint white ;) XXL

Jeff · January 15, 2010, 09:57:04 PM

I wont buy white.

Burlkraft · January 15, 2010, 10:13:59 PM

I'd be in for shirts and sweat shirts

Gonna git one for you with buttons?

DanG · January 15, 2010, 10:17:35 PM

You could save a lot by getting one for Burlkraft without a collar or sleeves! ;D

Ackshully, I had another idea before Steve interrupted me; How about some bumper stickers or window decals? They would be cheaper and easier to mail.

timberfaller390 · January 15, 2010, 11:12:36 PM

I would go for the bumper stickers. I'm to hard on clothes

Red or black.

With the Forum colors, black would look really good.

I am supprised you didn't say red and black. ;D

WDH · January 15, 2010, 11:39:32 PM

I started to, but that would be too obvious ;D.

I'd go for a T-shirt for sure (as long as it isn't camo ;)).

Jeff, I've bought 'em for special events before and different sizes aren't a big deal. They just make up a logo that will fit the smallest shirt and silk screen 'em onto whatever shirts you want. I usually found that if I took advance orders and then ordered a few extras in each size, there were always a dozen more extra requests than I could supply.

Issues that come up:

1) Material -- 100% cotton, synthetic, or some kind of blend. Personally I like 100% cotton, preferably preshrunk.

2) Different colours. Don't get into this. Make an executive decision and tell folks they can have them in any colour they want, as long as it's ____.

3) Embroidered or silk screened. I recently bought some very nice embroidered T-shirts from an organization I belong to. Problem was, after a few washings the embroidery started to pull at the stitches and began to tear the shirt. I found silk screening lasted a lot longer.

4) Too many people involved in the design. Been there, done that, won't do it again. Get a couple of opinions and then make another executive decision.

IMERC · January 16, 2010, 03:36:29 AM

as long as you can find them in 2 or 3XLT.. I'm in...

Gotta agree with you. ;D

And no 100% cotton, please.

I'd be in for bumper stickers too. Or one of them little stickers you put on your window when your a member of the country club (which I am not, just country ;))

Norm · January 16, 2010, 07:33:00 AM

This time of year I wear one of each every day. If you were to order sizes for this bunch I can almost guess that you can skip the S-M-L sizes. ;D

Oooops Patty just smacked me....and I'm not dumb enough to say what size of anything a woman wears. :D

jdtuttle · January 16, 2010, 07:56:41 AM

I would take one of each

Sometimes you don't have to say anything Norm. They just know how we think ;D

I don't know about bumper stickers.......They don't cover up as much as a shirt. In my case that would be a bad thing and then when ya take 'em off they tend to rip out hair ;D

I'd take one without sleeves tho.......

There are sites that allow you to design a t-shirt, bumper sticker, mug, or other printed item. They then produce and ship the item. The Forum sets the price and gets a cut over the cost of production and shipping. No inventory cost, no minimum orders, no processing costs.

Cafe Press is one such service. http://www.cafepress.com/
