i don't have them yet but i can work on a design per a response from you guys.

a friend of mind once said he bought and built his 01 integra gsr because the thrill of building up is better than buying a porsche. so, he came up with "built, not bought"

would any of you want a t shirt that has that on the chest? or back or whatever? i'm not so hot at photoshop or illustrator but maybe i can get a little help. if i can get a decent design and talk to my local silk screen shop and get a good wholesale price, would anybody be interested in buying a few?

I'm definitely down for some Shirts.
Incorporate some Scionlife Logo in there too, because this Site is my second life.

Probably talk to some of the Mods. I know they made Stickers a while back, I think there's a Thread with Images for people who wanted to make their own Stickers.

Here you go..

Is it cool if I contribute pictures I find Online?
Also, it would look pretty sweet if the SL Logo was like on the lower left or right of the Shirt, still visible, but not overpowering.

a friend of mind once said he bought and built his 01 integra gsr because the thrill of building up is better than buying a porsche. so, he came up with "built, not bought"

so wait ur telling me ur friend came up with this "quote" cause if he did thats a lie. its been a saying for quite sum time, mayeb he saw it and repeated it, but he definatly did not make that quote up. its even a sticker concept for shockerstickers.com

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y31/KeNO1/Built_Not_Bought_4884be39a3486.jpg

but i do like the shirt concept can u make a shirt with this on it?

haha wow, i have actually never heard of that until he said something. damn, i kinda feel unoriginal now. would this be considered plagiarism?





as for you stilletto, go ahead man, post up all ideas. i'm going to meet with the shop at 4 today, hopefully i'll have a few ideas to give him.

black/white shirt
BNB front center

06-24-2009, 08:09 PM
Got it, how many colors depends on how much it will cost, keep the colors down it will be cheaper, Black shirts will be more expensive just because you have to use a white under base to keep it bright. I can mock something up for you, but I am at work and i can't do it till I am out.

CK028
06-24-2009, 08:18 PM
black, white, and red (the I <3 one)

if you want to make something up, i won't stop you :silly:



thanks for the input everyone, keep it coming. i'll post updates as i make progress

I'd like to see an Outline of the RS*R Car sliding across the chest area, with the SL Logo at the bottom side of the shirt. That'd be cool. Would require some Photoshop though.

CK028
06-25-2009, 01:03 AM
^^ yeah and i'm not too skilled with that...sick idea though.

i just got home from the shop and it was a bit more expensive than i ancitipated. it's a simplistic idea but i thought the SL logo nice and big in black/grey on the chest and FUKJDM in black/red on the back either on the shoulder at an angle or dead center up top, under the collar. i would have to do a white shirt only and XXL is going to cost a few dollars more.

the start up costs are a little more than i thought and i can't really afford to do it all on my own quite yet so if i can get any of you to go on pure faith that i WILL get the shirts made under the circumstance that you pay prior to them being made (so i can afford it).

in addition, before i do this, i would like to get an idea how much you would feel comfortable paying for a relatively basic design. i don't have to make money on this but i don't want to lose money either. i have to cover set up fees and shipping to you.

keep this going guys, i would love to rock SL shirts.

stillettoDSM
06-25-2009, 03:22 AM
How much would a Shirt cost YOU, then add a few bucks, it wouldn't be fair to just break even. I'm down for whatever Shirt.

CK028
06-25-2009, 03:33 AM
like 8 bucks. take into account shipping and such, 15 maybe? i'm a tight wad and hate spending money lol, i'm sure i'm not the only one. is 15 fair?

Stevemg
06-25-2009, 04:51 AM
I'd take one. or two. lol good idea man

cobb
06-25-2009, 04:55 AM
Yeah, 15 is fair. Used 3rd class postage and charge extra for better.

CK028
06-25-2009, 05:21 AM
15 it is then. ok i will get the design drawn up all ghetto like and post a pic. i'll have some of you pay up front through paypal to help cover the start up costs and the moment they get off the press, i'll box them up and get them out of here.


i need sizes from everyone. S, M, L, XL, XXL ($3 extra)

hanes 50/50 white t-shirt

EDIT:

35 shirts available. again, i DO NOT have the money at this moment to pay for the shirts to get printed right now. i can give you my word that i will not burn anyone. the first 35 shirts to be ordered and paid for will allow me to make my first run. i hope this doesn't cause any inconvenience and i'm sorry if it does.

CK028
06-26-2009, 07:24 AM
http://freepdfhosting.com/fcad74aa6b.pdf

it would be a white shirt, black and grey SL on the front, probably not quite that big. the back would have the FUKJDM as pictured, off kilter as well and i believe the placement is right where i want it too. the pedo bear would not be in it, just the text. black FUK and red JDM.

four color print, one color shirt. that is as close to the design as i can get without editing the images.

stillettoDSM
06-26-2009, 02:17 PM
What if you run "FUKJDM" along the bottom left of the back of the Shirt?

CK028
06-26-2009, 04:53 PM
parallel with the edge or angled?

^^ up to this point, the consensus seems to the SL on the chest and FUKJDM on the back left, bottom edge. i am totally down with BNB, that was actually my first idea but once i get the first run printed up and sold, i can make some more styles. it's just too expensive at this point to make several designs.

My Girlfriend is an Interior Designer, and she happened to walk by right now and tell me that the Font would have to match the "Thick Outlined" Style of the SL Logo, so here are a few different types of Fonts that might match and work well on the T-Shirt.

^^ I get the
"So did ..... come with the car"
question all the time.

I like the built not bought too.
I think that's what we should shoot for. and as for the font,
lemme look around for some cool ones.
Would something similar to the scionlife logo itself be cool, or would it make it too simple??

stilletto's are nice too. my only drawback is the amount of colors used and it's looking like yours are the least amount of color. (cheaper fo sho)

as for cobb, i don't mean to be a dick but i don't really want to make up insight shirts. i drive a tc and i'm making these for fellow owners. i'm sorry man...

if anyone can go to their local silk screen shop and get these knocked out quicker than me, take the reins.
