T-shirts?!?
 
How come we don't have thewarpath.net T-shirts? Im sure we would all buy if they were sold at cost or right around there somewhere. Im sure we could also get some great ideas for shirts and then vote on which one we like best, have them printed and then wear the shirts with great pride. Anyone else interested?

I've owned mine for 3 years now, proof is on the Warpath pix page is your interest is piqued.

I actually have something in the works for a new logo for the shirts, Matty has seen it and has given his blessings on it, the manufacturer has the design and is getting back to me with cost's.


It's a pretty cool design I think warpathers are going to like it. :biggthump

I've had thousands of shirts printed for my bands, buisness things and bullpoo.

My advice is don't get cheap shirts.
Beefy T's 100% preshrunk cotton
2 color on white over about 72 shirts is about $9.00 a shirt.

XXL are about $2 more a shirt.

A good shirt will feel good and be worn. Worn means exposure, worn means more sales.

Note: I'll buy a couple WP shirts. I love you freaks!

peace

I have a couple of the t-shirts from the cafepress store and I must say they've held up pretty well.

Just a FYI, the stuff sold in that store doesn't generate much revenue for the site. They're more for your enjoyment and to help spread the word about The Warpath.

I always get a kick out of the thought that people are out there walking around with a Warpath shirt on, I'm hoping to run into somebody some day or see them on TV at a game.

I guess I'll have to wear my t-shirts more often in case I run into you again...although I don't know if I can wear them any more than I already do...
The cafepress t-shirts have been great...they definitely last.

Too bad you didn't have one on that night you saw me in Target. I would have bugged out!

Cheaper than the Beefy T's are Gildan 1000's. These are very good shirts (infact they are the shirts that Calvin Klein, Kappa, and many other large name companies take the tags out of and replace them with theirs.) They also screen print better than Beefy-T's. Beefy-T's have a tendency to be somewhat irregular on a more consistant basis than any other shirt and the consistancy makes for a grainy print (depending on what you're doing.)

I worked in a screenprinting shop for a few years. If you have any questions, shoot em' my way.

I have all the original art work in vector format (The format you need to make silk screens) so let me know what your looking for and I can do the art work, no problem. -Summo

Daseal you may be able to help, or perhaps Summo, or maybe both, I was told to look for 50/50 I was told they don't shrink like the 100% cotton, a buddy of mine has a shirt co. I will find out monday what he thinks, but he said it shouldn't be a prob he's already seen the design, what do you recommend for sweatshirts I would like to do them as well?

Sammy Baugh Fan 09-17-2005 07:28 AM

Re: T-shirts?!?
 
110% cotton Preshrunk won't shrienk either

Daseal 09-17-2005 09:33 AM

Re: T-shirts?!?
 
50/50 shirts bleed pretty bad, depends on the colors you're using, but if you're doing any white on a dark shirt I'd avoid them.

Yea I'd be happy to buy 2 of the new ones if they look good. Im not really that fond of the cafe express ones. Will they be 2 sided?

Our own Warpath jerseys would be pretty cool, although might be a little costly. Is there any hats available?

Warpath 09-17-2005 08:05 PM

Re: T-shirts?!?
 
Honestly, they look like an iron-on or something. I think I could make a T-shirt that looked better than that from my computer. Buy the Iron-on printer paper, print out some graphics and well you know the rest.
It just seems that we could have shirts made that look better than just a small logo across the chest. This of course is all just my opinion and if you designed those shirts please don't take it personally.

I have a design you may want to look at which I am going with I could post it but not sure how, or I could forward it over to you, let me know, I am not a shirt expert so I want to make sure I get things right the first time.

NY_Skinsfan 09-17-2005 10:29 PM

Re: T-shirts?!?
 
Hey Matty,
I actually prefer the "small logo." It's simple and to the point. It's not too flashy, kind of like this site compared to extremeskins, which is way too flashy. If you do decide to change the logo or something would it be possible to keep the old ones around for a while?

I guess you have to see one in person.

Trust me they're not junk.

To whomever knows t shirts well could someone please breakdown the pros and cons of the different kinds, and how images are put on them.

I didn't think they looked "cheap". They looked like a good quality shirt. My reason for not considering purchasing one was/is the color selection. I'm not too fond of white. White is too easy to ruin. If there were more color optons such as maroon, gray or black, I'd be more inclined to make a purchase. I'm also interested in seeing some new and different designs to go along with what you already have.

I agree. And for the earlier post, Im not talking Flashy I just want something a little better than the ones I've seen. Not really sure how yet. If anyone makes their idea into a shirt, let me know, maybe Ill buy a few...

When will there be new ones? I thought I read that one of you guys were working on new shirts? That true or am I just imagining?

So I was getting on the subway this evening here in our nation's capital (unless you don't live in the United States), and as I get on the train I see some people holding picket signs and they're giving me dirty looks, mumbling words under their breath, and one even booed loudly.

Well, I couldn't figure out what it was that was causing this. But then I realized they were coming back from an "anti-war march" and there I was rocking a baseball jersey that read in bright letters across the front...."The Warpath"

I have a design and looking for the right manufacturer, if someone can let me know how to download it onto this site you all can take a look and see if you like to see if we should move ahead with the logo.

STOP!!!
NOONE order shirts yet!!!
I've got the best dude in the world!!!
Whoever said $9 for a 2 color white shirt???

so now your competing with the official site by borrowing their logo and telling people not to buy their stuff?
last time i had shirts made it was 7$ a shirt, 2 color on black, high quality shirts... could probably get it down to 5$ if you looked hard enough.

this is the guy i know:
[url="http://partybots.org/screenprinting/"]http://partybots.org/screenprinting/[/url]

anyways, why it cost the site so much is that they don't need to be super involved with the mailing etc and it's print on demand, with traditional screen printing you need to order some minimum quantity.

The manufacturer I found was around 9.00 for 3 color with a black T that is if I order 50.
