Mosrite Forum T Shirts

I'm definitely getting some pics up asap!

T-shirts are a fine idea! My day job is as an art director for an ad agency and I illustrate on the side, so I could whip up something snazzy.

And yes, I think I'm gonna need help with that 1/2 Mosrite I've got parked. I've been slowly gathering parts and all I need now is the trem. (I know, it's the hardest part to find)
I might have to sand cast one...or ten.

Was just rereading some recent posts and came across this one...........
Is there enough interest with the Forum Members to make something like this happen?
We would need a person(s) with knowledge and expertise on how to make this happen,
'cause I haven't a clue in what is involved to make this a Reality.....and again, this would
ONLY BE if there is enough interest in it to begin with...... :roll:
make the Mos' of it, choose the 'rite stuff.

:idea: Wow! What a great idea. :lol:

I'll second what Dennis just said.

If anyone has any expertise or experience to contribute such as, who to contact to make up a design, provide the shirts, advise the minimum quantity and price, that would be great.

My wife and I had T shirts made to sell for our band. We got I think a good price ( at least I hope so) because our son runs a sporting goods store. We had to come up with the logo ourselves and a minimum of 20 had to be bought. We paid around $10.00 per shirt. If memory serves me right, that price included the cost of making the template for our logo. We used the same logo that we have on our web page as the header with out the bosses name in it. The number of colors and size of the logo have to be factored in to the cost.

T-shirts are a fine idea! My day job is as an art director for an ad agency and I illustrate on the side, so I could whip up something snazzy.


YEARS AGO IN A PAST BAND, OUR BASS PLAYER OWNED A 4 COLOR PRESS AND OUR 2nd GUITARIST WORKED AT HIS FATHERS GRAPHIC DESIGN COMPANY. WE USED TO DESIGN, PRINT AND SILKSCREEN ALL OF OUR OWN MERCHANDISE INCLUDING STICKERS. OF COURSE THE R&D TIME AND $ SPENT... :arrow: TAUGHT US THAT THE MOST IMPORTANT INVESTMENT IN THE PROCESS WAS TO BE SURE AND PURCHASE "QUALITY" SHIRTS FIRST :!:
CURRENTLY, ONE OF MY EMPLOYEES HAS BEEN PRODUCING SHIRTS AT PRETTY GOOD PRICE. I'LL GET THE RUNDOWN AND RESPOND TO THE FORUM.

1. QUALITY SHIRTS
2. UNIQUE / CLEAN DESIGN
:idea: FOR SINGLE PRINTS I PERSONALLY LIKE THE LOGOS / DESIGNS ON THE BACK
(OR A STEP FURTHER) MAIN DESIGN ON BACK, SMALL TRADEMARK ON FRONT ABOVE POCKET)

Looks like we are starting to make progress. ;)

I wish I knew who designed the first graphic as I would liked to have used it as our forum logo. It would also look cool on the back of a shirt. But of course the bottom one would be more representative of our forum. We tried to use this logo on the forum header but it would not fit the small space allocated, so we had to compress it to the one we are now using.

...and either this logo or the small one under it printed on the front over the heart ie; left breast.

Image

Image

These are just a couple of ideas that I'm throwing out. You guy's design and we can poll for a design





Let's get'er done and start taking orders. :lol:

I LIKE THE SECOND DESIGN... HOWEVER WE WOULD HAVE TO SIZE IT DOWN TO GET IT TO FIT ACROSS THE BACK OF THE "T".
MAYBE... PLACE THE "MOSRITEFORUM.COM" ABOVE OR BELOW THE GUITAR.
AND PLEASE DON'T FORGET ABOUT COPY RIGHTS AND THE POSSIBLE BACKLASH.

I've always liked this picture. Image And maybe have Mosrite above the image and forum below the image. I'd be interested in some t shirt stuff. Kevin

My thoughts on a tee shirt
1. Logo on the back
2. the Mosrite 'M" logo above the front pocket area
3. I like black shirts myself
4. I like the Coop devil girl /Mosrite guitar image but i'm sure it's too expensive
Image
those are just ideas I will buy one however it turns out

Keep in mind any art work we use would have to be an original otherwise you are treading on copyright infringements. The Mosrite Forum logo my son and I created, it is our own design.
