A New T...

Another vote for no pic on the front.

While I'm "voting" here, I also think the back would look better with much less dead space.

If we're going for an obscure "we're card nerds" image, perhaps this one:

They will be available in a thread I will post, once I get them. The front picture is going to be gone. I am working on getting a silouhette of the picture so it looks better. I have a white one but will need some help for the other colors...some poor pics...

Great choice Leon, just spitballin' here and keeping with the Beatles theme I'd love to see the Abbey Road album cover with Shoeless Joe as Paul McCartney.

Haha, that'd be awesome.

Freaking SWEET!

I'm in on at least one. Crazy enough I really like that neon 'Leon' Green one.

B.T.

I'll have mine with a collar, please.

Those look great....is that front logo gonna look really huge like it does in the image there, or is that just for illustrative purposes......PS - I'll take the white one, in XL.

I can change the size. We'll see.
I will be calling the company today/tomorrow to talk about some stuff. White will be one of the colors. Once we get settled on this, there will be 1 more thread to place your orders in. I am NOT going for the cheapest shirts. I only want to wear nice, heavy, 100% cotton shirts. Other fabrics make me itch.

Subtotal: $2,047.50
Applicable tax will apply during checkout. $168.92 Order Total: $2,216.42 Free shipping to Allen, TX (75002)

And below is a quote for 12 polos:

Quote for "polo1"
2 Color Front | 5 Color Back
Item 1. Gildan Hammer Pique Polo -- White
XL: 6 @ $49.72
Item 2. Gildan Hammer Pique Polo -- Red
XL: 6 @ $49.72
Total Quantity: 12
Subtotal: $596.64
Applicable tax will apply during checkout. $49.22 Order Total: $645.86 Free shipping to Allen, TX (75002)


So the T's will be $20 + shipping each (I am eating all of the taxes), as I am not going to nickel and dime them. The desingn on back won't be crooked The amount of colors in the design is greater than normal, which is why the increase in cost, plus these are nicer, heavier Ts...(don't worry Bobby, they are only about 1.9oz heavier than the others.)

The polos, while pricey at $50, are actually embroidered, I am told. They are not transfers. The sales rep recommened doing the screen print on the polos, to save money, but while screen printing on Ts is fine, it might look kind of cheesy on a Polo?
I think that could drop their price around $12? each.

That said, the embroidery won't be as pinpoint accurate as the screenprint. I think our niche of collectors will know them but not others. I am not sure I care about that. Plus, it's the same cost to have only the name on back vs the name and the Sgt. Peppers design, on back. Still an option to only have name on back, cost doesn't go down though.

Shipping looks to be about $6 USPS....however, this company will ship as many to one address as we want, for $9.95. That could save me a lot of time .....
Lastly, I am going to probably take checks or Paypal Goods and Services (yuck on getting a Paypal 1099, but whatever, I keep records)....

It looks like USPS shipping is going to be about $6 each. This company will ship as many as we want, to 1 address for $995. So if a member orders 3 t- shirts, it's still only $9.95 to ship all of them.

I haven't finalized colors yet but am leaning towards white, red, green and safety yellow......all subject to change ....
