"official" Rpr T-shirt
Sgt. Pepper 17 Jan 2009
I am starting this thread simply to discuss what you guys/gals would like to see on an RPR t-shirt. Don't tell me how many you want. Don't ask me how much they will be. We are just gonna throw around ideas and hopefully come up with a nice t-shirt that everyone will like. Here are my thoughts so far:
1. short sleeve t-shirt
2. no picture of a 1G/3G, just logo/graphics
3. stick with the website's main colors
4. keep it simple
5. screenprinted, not embroidered (and no patches)
6. Hanes Beefy-T is best t-shirt choice
7. t-shirt should be 1 color only
8. logo should be 1 or 2 colors max (more ink colors/logo locations=more $$)
9. t-shirts must be paid for BEFORE I place the order (via paypal)
10. proceeds will benefit Tom (RPR) as usual
I won't start taking orders until a design is decided on, in which time I will start a new thread. Until then, all discussions should happen in this thread. I would like to have shirts done and on our backs by summer time. My wife will do the artwork and my usual t-shirt supplier will do the printing. Whether you vote or not, please add your comments to better help the decision making. I would like this to be a universal design that all RPR members can wear by keeping images of 1Gs/3Gs off of it. I would also like to wrap up the jackets and hoodies before I start taking $$ for these. Once an order deadline is set, I will stick to it - no late comers. I will ship outside the US for an additional fee - of course.
Once again, this is a discussion thread - not an order placing thread. Don't tell me how many you want or ask how much they are.

The shirt needs to be a different color than the jacket and hoodie. You know, for when you wear them all at the same time.
I vote red.

I agree. I also think "redpepperracing.com" should go across the front and the cirlce logo (3"-4") on the upper back of the shirt. Red shirt/white ink. Just one of my ideas.

I think it would be better with redpepperracing inthe front across the chest area and the RPR LOGO BIG in the back..... i think ill look better that way......

i am open minded all around; as long as it rep's RPR I am down to sport it.

Like the idea. But, will there be sizing for the BIG BONED GUYS?
BLACK FTW.

Any size up to 3X (maybe even 4x) depending.

black shirt, red text, white logo
left chest & medium back
I think this would come out looking the nicest... the picture I have in mind looks pretty sharp, we have the luxury of having a cool logo
other thoughts, I love sporting my RPR merch but I don't want to scream it at people; to me, that's TRYING too hard- I like to make it clear that I dig my rpr but keep it tasteful
I've had these conversations with the design girls at school before btw

I like the idea of full back and center chest logo, I have a few shirts like that and it looks good???

This is not directed to anyone in particular, just a general statement.
I am thinking of dropping this like a "hot potato". I am continually having to beg and plea for payments (ie. hoodies, calendars, jackets) and I am getting tired of it. Everyone wants their stuff NOW, but not in a hurry to respond to PMs and emails. These orders take a lot of my time to organize and keep up to date and I don't seem to get cooperation. I will follow through with the jackets, hoodies and ball caps - but the t-shirts may not happen. To those who pay on a timely manner - thank you.
