Shirts - Will You Buy Me?

[Skip N]

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 needed to see if I can cover the minimum production run, litteraly $2000, if there would be enough interest. That was the purpose of the thread. I may still do it I may not do it. I'm really not sure at this point. I don't NEED to make money on this shirt but I can't LOOOSE money on it.

So without sounding like a jackbutt, I'm not doing anything else on a shirt for a while because I'm tired of working til one in the morning on a shirt, and getting pissed at myself for taking my vacation days from my real job to work on this instead of working on my boat, taking my kid fishing, or all of the other "fun" things I could have been doing.

We've had half a dozen threads asking for shirts. When I ask for a slogan, I get a couple jokes and attempts. When I asked for a logo / symbol, I get a lot of art directors and little art. No general consensus. Guess I should have expected that this time too.

Personally I really don't care what the shirt looks like as I would buy it anyway.Its the least I can do to support what I consider my "home" on the net.

Whenever you ask a question of this nature you get the complainers. It never fails. They pipe in to be hurd and that's about it. we have a great community here. The logos belong to sponsers of that very same community.
Make the shirts they will sell with no problem at all.
I'm in for a couple

Camplainers?? I think not, it's called input! We have expressed our opinion about a shirt that does not represent this site. Its a shirt for plug builders and not a shirt for this site, it's that simple. And we were basiclly asked what we thought, so we speak up and tell what we think and now we are all a bunch of complainers? Un freakin' real.

If you dont want input dont ask. If you ask for input, then input you will get. There has been alot of good suggestions about shirt design in this thread. And that is called good input!

If its a dead issue then its a dead issue.

I thank you John for trying!! But with a site this big, your going to end up with all different opions!!

You might be better off having a meeting with the Moderators and disscuss what you want, between the higer ups you should come up with something nice, then just sell them!

I am by no way a artist or even a good photoshop guy!! But something like this mite just be the ticket??

It shows the striper, the plug, and Amercian theme.



Or something like The red whit blue bass on the main site on back with the S-B logo on the pocket??

Please attempt to be more consise as to why/how the shirt does not represent the site. Thanks.
I think one or more of you "inputers" have a bone for the owners of the plug companies who's logo's are shown.
