Post subject:  Club T shirts
Has anyone ever thought of getting FBE tshirts? I was thinking something simple. Black with the FBE logo on back, and maybe your name, or nickname on front with a "Member since" thing on it.


Just an idea I'm throwing out.

Good idea that' been there and gone. Not enough willing particpants to put it bluntly. Lots of board names and no faces to go w/ them. :roll:

Sound salty? Ya bet. AM I a ass? Nah just tellin it like it is. Notice all the views and no replies? However I'm down and if ya wanna make it happen I'll help out and hopefully we can get the ball rollin.

Got tried of waiting and made my own. A black on and a white one :wink: . I also have a hat and a couple of patches getting made. When I get them. I'll post pics, if people like them I'll pass my contact off and someone else can carry it on. I asked about the hats and patches a while back and nobody would take. I even offered to buy the embroider machine w/USB cable deal and have my wife make them while I was in Iraq.
Although, I'm up for a new T Shirt of better quality. Mine are Fruit of the Looms with Iron Ons which come out rather good. Due to my short attention span I normally fail to read instructions,so I set the iron setting too high and it melted in the shirt rather than having the cheesy iron-on look. :lol:
But yes I am interested!

Post a pic. Don't forget! :lol: Hopefully we can make this happen then if the results are favorable which I'm sure they are. Use the logo as the print which I think 3 people still have the sticker Ryan, myself and Jack possibly.

I used the one that pops up on every page for the back and f-body members for the front pocket and put my name on the sleeve. If you want a different logo post a pic and I'll cut and paste.
As for the patches, they are 3" x 7" with the fbody logo and the hat has the pontiac/chevy symbols on the front with fbody europe on the back. The back of mine reads:
2001 FBODY EUROPE 2004. And again my name is on the side. The hat and patches are still in the process.
Squirrelina, I made my son FBody under-roo's though. I went to Wal-Mart bought so different kindas of paper and a rack of beer, hey, I'm intertained all night.
I also have sticker paper. OOOH Stickers!!! Horsepower!!!!
Give me some ideas...

Post subject:  I'd buy at least 2 of them.
Maybe a fundraiser would deliver enough fundage to get the first bulk amount. I know that silkscreen shops usually cahrge you more the first time because they have to burn the pattern. After that , the shirts are reasonably better priced. They also usually only sell the shirts in bulk(25, 50, 100). I think that if the shirts were a go(not just an idea), then more people would buy and show interest. It'd be cool to have some 1st, 2nd, and 3rd generation F-bodies on the shirt if possible.

There are places all over that do T-Shirts and stuff - got one in Fulda that prints out via computer and "irons" it on - they also have another thing they do, need to ask, which is better quality but more expensive ... I can get some numbers ...

Embroidery is the best, but it's also the most pricey!! ;)

I looked into buying the embroider machine that plugs into usb. A decent machine runs $ 2,500 - 3,000. Then all you have to do is buy plain t-shirts and thread. I would volunteer to do this and have my wife make everything but, next month I'm out the door. Also, you could use the machine to make unit/company t-shirts, hats, patches, etc. So, I do think the machine would pay its self off.

I saw some of those machines after you mentioned it.. I think that would be so sweet man.. The possibilities are endless, really.. Just think of all the stuff you could sell on Ebay and and such.. It would pay itself off quick!

My "hook up" on base wasn't much of a hook up after all. T shirts are $20 each!! Damn ,I think A**** might be involved with this "He said POOP".







(A**** is AAFES, the cursed word)

The clothing lines would be endless. Use the FBE Logo on everything as if it was the Nike logo or something. On the new web site you are making use that Logo on Sports Bras :lol: ! That Logo would also make good buttons for events, car shows, races, etc...

Maybe I should forget about my aviation career and stay here and start my own line of FBE stuff. I could even get FBE center cabs For the Z and sticker it all up like a NASCAR and just drive around to all the tracks trying to extend a bussiness!!! I could make millions :twisted:

Are they really that cheap? I would imagine a computer controlled machine to be in the 5 digit numbers ... !?

I made a big mistake on the pricing. They run between $ 780 - 1,500. They are about the size of a sewing machine. All you can do is one item at time and up to 3 colors at a time. But, you put the item in and set everything up and walk away.
With 400+ members, if everyone picked in $ 5 -10 apeice then a couple of bake sales and car washes later the club could have a couple.
