Swag Options - need to decide soon

[Guest]

Ok, so dues are rolling in, and we have not solved this t-shirt issue. I propose the following:

1. standardize on a black t-shirt using the dead ends logo and chace's "best hearse club?" slogan
2. replace the t-shirt with a large, motorcycle gang sized dead ends patch suitable to be sewn on the back of a jacket.

Also, regarding receiving your new membership package, do you want to:

1. just pick it up in person (costs the club $5 per package)
2. have it mailed (costs the club $6.50 per package)

Voted LMS is an asshole, since I'm not in the club, and... well... he is an asshole.

Although I think you should go with whatever will last the longest. Patches look bad ass, I'd go with those. In fact I plan on doing that soon myself.

[Guest]

yeah the patches are a goal one way or another. looks like i'm going to have to just make an executive decision on the design.

Just curious, is that bc of a lack of quality/realistic submissions or were a bunch of indecisive mf'ers or...

[v8nightmare]

Also whichever gets picked, shirt or patch, will the other be coming soon or not likely or... If its a start-up cost thing I think it would be cooler to "patch" new prospects into the club as part of their package and have the shirt as an add on later if they choose.

I still say if we ordered some more NHAA patches and sold them it would generate more money for other things.

[Guest]

yes we definitely want to order NHAA patches.

and i would like biker gang patches either way.

I think that so far there just has not been any design that a clear majority likes.

For jacket patches I dont think anything else would make sense other than the iron cross casket design thats currently in use.
As far as the designs we all came up with, If theres enough of them then maybe a bracket system for voting or something.

[Chace]

what about something based on the sons of anarchy jacket patch, with Dead Ends replacing the SOA at the top and Atlanta or Georgia at the bottom and replace the ball with....um...something else.



Just an idea. I've still not seen that show at all but the jacket logo is awesome. SO if we go the patch route I'd suggest that one or as Alex said, the Iron Cross casket logo. Either way if it happens its going on my motorcycle jacket!

[Guest]

yeah at this point i think we need to stick with our standard logo

[Guest]

Ok, right now it looks like more people are in favor of motorcycle gang patches, but...

If we are going to do t-shirts, i think we need to narrow it down to basically these two designs:

option 1:


option 2:


we can talk about the font or spelling of the word ever, but if we need t-shirts quickly, i think we should choose between one of these.

[Double D]

Dues paid...opinion as follows...

If we are not going to have a redesign of the logo, stick with what works and I'd go with option 2 above. Only thing I would change is the size of the font on the last 2 lines. Way too small, or keep it at one line, either Atlanta, ga OR the website addy.

That being said, put me down for a set of SOA style club patches as well - that should definately be redesigned and followed up with....do we have a source for them?

[Guest]

yes i have a source to get them produced

Stay away from "Gus must dead" because some unstable guy named Gus might get the wrong idea... Here's an example from your own turf

On January 30, 1989, Kenneth Lamar Noid, a mentally ill customer who thought the ads were a personal attack on him, held two employees of an Atlanta, Georgia, Domino's restaurant hostage for over five hours. After forcing them to make him a pizza and making demands for $100,000, getaway transportation, and a copy of The Widow's Son, Noid surrendered to the police.^[5] After the incident had ended, police Chief Reed Miller offered a memorable assessment to reporters: "He's paranoid."^[6] Noid was charged with kidnapping, aggravated assault, extortion, and possession of a firearm during a crime. He was found not guilty by reason of insanity.

NOID MUST DEAD

Well if anything like that happens to one of us someone will shoot them, and then get shot. Besides im not really worried about anybody named Gus.
