Shirts - Will You Buy Me?

[GBOUTDOORS]

The thread asked if we would buy one of these and then when some say no we do not like it some find they must get testy? All they did was give their answer to the question. I think Johns idea is to have a shirt that will sell to the LARGEST number here or am I missing something here? If the shirt is not to help bring money to the site then yes any design would be fine. But if it is to bring $$$$$$$ to the site then you would want a shirt that would give you the best sales to the MOST number of members. To that end John I would be willing to donate up to $500.00 for the print work of a SB.com logo shirt that sells SB.com only and I will not ask to have my name put on it just want the first shirt.

Damn - who knew this would hit 3 pages faster than an #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& thread ?

OK moneybags - Maybe I'm just beating myself over the head a little with the whole shirt thing. And no, I would not have you do that

If this were the plugs, and not "sponsored by" yadayadayada , with the Normal S-B logo over the front pocket, would that seem "less commercial" ?

As for this appearing just for the plugs, we have ALL different kinds of anglers here and one of the most consistant threads in our community is the custom plugs beacuse a lot of people fish them - not talking about building - but fish them, from surf, canal, boat, yak.

sounds like the plan to me

I suggest that JohnR set up a PM address, like the one for YASBR, for indications of interest/orders for sizes and numbers. Only those with interest in purchase need reply, and JR will have an idea of initial orders.....

Its funny when you're asked for your opinion and when you give it you get grief. I think all of the posts have been well thought out and not just griping.
If the purpose is a plug fest shirt, awesome deisgn, if it was meant as s-b.com shirt, it seems a little too much and does not appeal to a lot of people.
I'd rather have shirt with a big eel on it....

The shirts will sell regardless of what design John desides to go with. John asked for some feedback/opinions and people have spoken up and have been honest. Now the people who disagree and dont think the design represents SB.com as a whole are being called whiners and babies, grow up people, you're the ones sounding like whining babies now! John wanted our feedback and thats what he's getting. maybe he should have asked for our feeback BEFORE he designed the shirt?

I have done that in the past and gotten similar and varied responses. Which is part of why I wanted something different to break past that - guess I was a little less than accurate....

If the shirt is going to be produced and sold anyway, why did you bother to ask for our input?

You're going to produce the shirt, so just do it, and this thread was a total waste of time giving our input if you're not going to listen to our suggestions.

Just produce the shirt and be done with it. it will sell, just not as many as a shirt with the actual SB.com logo on it. At least in my opinion anyway.

I just have trouble understanding how an official SB.com shirt doesnt have the official SB.com logo on it!? Just makes no sense to me!

I like the shirt. And you know we all fish with these plugs. I fly fish also, but I still love plugging and these plugs all fish well. The guys who make them support this site. Start with this design first and then go from there.

[JohnR]

Oh, and I want to be crystal clear about the sponsors logos listing on the back of the shirt. This was never a shirt to showcase the SPONSORS. The whole part of the sponsors was they were helping with the production costs of the shirt keeping the costs lower to you all, and they were enthusiastic about that. They were originally going to have their logos on a sleve.

So regardless of what happens, don't take a bad eye on those sponsors as they were trying to help me provide the shirts cheaper for you, that's all.

(We'll figure something out )

Thanks!

John

I call it constructive criticism, Thanks for everything you do John

is this kiss butt enough

[Swimmer]

JR can you squeeze my name on there, not for any particular reason I just want my name on the shirt too. After all you know how famous I am. Thank you John Pollack!
