PSC T-shirt
 

OK folks, we have been throwing around the idea for a PSC t-shirt for sometime now and I have been working on and off privately on the idea for several months. Im posting up a design that ive worked up to get some feedback and if you guys really are interested and support the idea of wearing your PSC colors and promoting the site and your craft, im prepared to make it happen.
Ive got certain connections with the industry and have designed and printed many t-shirts over the past few years. The idea would be to make the shirts available to members at a reasonable price and also I hope to convince Mondala to use them as prizes for the contests.
If this flys, we may work some contests to get other (members) designs for future apparel.

Also, we may make these available in hoodies as well.

...The contests never seem to run?There hasn't been a chop of the month since 2006! Or am I looking in the wrong place?

The monthly deal does seem to have disappeared for reasons unknown. :(
We still have the Pasmag contest and that was what I was referring to here.

Do we?? I cant find a recent comp, 2007 seems to be the last I can find.Do I have to actually go to the PASMAG site to find them?

In the Forum look under "Official PSC Contest" section.

I remember those comps, that's actually how I found the site - the back of pas mags. :D
They used to just take the images from the monthly comps. but at one point, the comps just suddenly died. No comps for, what was it, 3 or 4 months?
Never seen our chops in there since....

But yeah, having some sort of reward should help to bring in more choppers around here.
Just gotta make sure to not let the contests die again....

Damn DaVinci, this is much more than i originaly expected it to look like, very, very impressed!! Anyone who wouldnt like so a t' dont belong here coz this is nice. This gear would definately elevate this site and all of our work to a before unseen level, way above what any other site could ever dream of!
I got a PM from you but before i could look at it i did the top most stupid thing i could, I deleted all my msgs coz i didnt see they were all ticked!! And i cant seem to send you a pm either??

Oh and maybe we even get old website info here at the bottom of the world but I only see old things by all the pasmag forums too, cant seem to get latest cars to chop or even see chops from less than few months old to know if its still running.

maybe you can even check out cafepress.com

ok. whats going on..i think we all agree this should be the shirt that we buy. it original and looks the nads. lets get this on the press and start getting the name out there....

When I presented this, the idea was to see how the response went.
I know Mondala is interested but may be a bit hesitant since there really hasnt been that much positive response to the idea.

time to set up a poll and vote then imo....thats the answer guys.

The main issue is how it will be managed.. I don't want any inhouse system from myself or any member.. I'd want to use a hosted solution from a vendor that offers merchandise products/services.. any commissions/cut can go into contest prizes.

Maybe we should start with compiling a list of companies that offer this service so I can review which would be best.

Merchandise Vendors:

Start list now.

Maybe if you were to give it out to contest winners there winning chop was printed onto the shirt?

^ You obviously dont understand the process involved in printing T-shirts bro. Costs vary depending on the design, quantities and types of shirts but there is always a setup cost which can be a hundred dollars or more. So its not very likely we would be able to print one-of shirts for contest winners. Nice idea but not very practical or cost effective.

not too mention having to change the design monthly.. some of us (me) cant finish a chop in a year, let alone a month..

there are a few companies that will take your design and put it on whatever item they sell.. koozi's, tshirts, thongs. whatever.. I would wear that shirt, nice work

Mondala heres another company that might work for this.
You cant beat this price per shirt and I belteve they dont even have a minimun.

We already owe a couple of members a shirt (sorry I started a contest and well...took the liberty to make the t-shirt the prize. My bad!) :D

What's the story on this stuff, I still want one, my brother can print stuff for shirts now, but is not capable of white ink, I want to make one just for myself.

If you guys can do international i would frikin love one :D
