HAMB T-Shirts [Archive]

ContinentalJohn's post about the Dash Plaques got me thinking... What about T-Shirts? I know that they've been available in the past. Are they still around?

If they aren't I might be able to put some together as a fund raiser for the HAMB. I've got access to a great screen printing place. They've done the shirts for my Mustang club and they are very nice... Hanes Beefy-Ts. Obviously, it would need Ryans approval and I'd need someone to do computer ready art work for it.

We're probably looking at $15-$20 per shirt depending on color and number of colors in the screen print. Of course, the more we have done, the cheaper they'll be.

Anyway... just throwing out some ideas.

i know a screen printing guy, he is a total fag, but i will threaten to out him and force him to look at pictures of naked ladies if he don't do em cheap

Mikey from Bend, Oregon usta whip up and mail out our HAMB T-shirts but I haven't seen him post here for a long time..A new version would be welcome IMHO...Just get Ryan's approval. I imagine they'd sell pretty good.

Make some with pockets. I'm tired of shirts with no place for my glasses, sharpie and ciggies. Make a shirt with a pocket, loose neck in XXL and XXXL and I'll buy a batch of them!

Count me in this time, if it's legit. I sent money last time but no shirt http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif But I don't think the check was ever cashed...

Im in too, I think it would be cool. I've wanted a HAMB shirt for a while after seeing FlyinEyes wearing his at the drags.

And if you guys want the artwork to come exclusivly from Brush, then its a sure winner! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

However, if you'd like other artists to contribute and maybe have HAMBers pick a few cool ones from the bunch, I'd be willing to drum up a few designs as well.

On the other hand, Brush did offer first, so we'll see what you guys say. Either way I think it'll be fun! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

I second that, maybe a colored tee. A gray-ish blue, a brick red or a gray-ish green maybe. Just some ideas to stand out. Look over a crowd and see the color, you wouldnt even need to read it to know where a HAMBer is.

I'm for the one-off-color idea too if it can be done.

chromedRAT

10-29-2003, 05:45 PM

i totally dig black and white, but a "primer red" would be cool too. a few other colors might be nifty as well.

Rix2Six

10-29-2003, 05:57 PM

Getting them done is no problem. I've bought 300 shirts from them in the past year for my car club and my R/C Glider Club. If Ryan approves, I just as soon he handle the cash end of it.

Maybe I can get together with some of the OC HAMBers to help me with the shipping, Just to do the packaging and labeling. Since they're unbreakable we can go lo-tech for the packaging. Just bag them and stick them in a large envelope.

White is gonna be the cheapest followed by black then gray. After that they're all the same price. I can see what they have as far as a brick/primer red.

Pockets I know adds about $1 to the shirts and xxl & xxxl about $2.

Need a rat fink with a flying eyeball standing on a maltese cross for the artwork. Just kidding
methinks we need to turn the pinheads and artists loose to come up with a new design. The last shirts were great, but that was mikey's thing. Every year's batch should be different.

Primer red shirts with black and cream and maybe some bright red as an accent. That would be bitchin. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif THat flash design is cool but it needs some refinement. I like the idea of vintage looking set up. I also like the shift pattern logo Ryan is using on the front page of the Jalopy Journal.

Sounds like a good idea. I sure could use another one. XL please http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif. The pocket idea is a good one,maybe put the shift knob logo on it and do some art on the back with a little pinstriping thrown in for good measure. I like the idea of the primer red color, that is something you don't see often used on a automotive themed T shirt. Keep us updated. later plmczy

I was figuring that $15-$20 would be the selling price. I'm sure cost would be less than that but the idea is to make some money to support the hamb. Still when we get to that point in the decision process, I'd be open to getting costs from other sources. I definately wanna get the cost down as low as possible so we can get the selling price low. I'd have to double check what the prices I got on the last shirts that I did but I think it was around $12 for beefy-ts with four color large logo on the back and a smaller 4 color logo on the pocket area (no pocket). This was out the door including tax, setup and art fees on a lot of 144 assorted sizes. I know that I could get cheaper but these were 1st quality.

I'm sure that 144 would be way low for this group and of course, the more we order, the less per each.

Ryan

10-30-2003, 12:49 AM

IF Badpat is game, I"ll listen.

As far as design. I want something simple and traditional this time and I really like the "primer red" idea...

Rix2Six

10-30-2003, 12:53 AM

BadPat, I'm all for having you do this if you want and if we come up with 4 color or less art work. I forget the amount of talent and resources we have on the HAMB.

Ryan, I'm glad your on with this. We'll wait until your ready. Just let me know what I can do to help.

Rix2Six

10-30-2003, 12:56 AM

Since BadPat is in Canada, it might be best if he sources the shirts. That way we won't hassle with customs.

Peter Pan of Chicago

10-30-2003, 01:25 AM

I told ya this was gonna be HUGE .

Now Rix2Six, 1. You have Brush producing the art.
2. If Badpat wants to do the T-shirt
production, Kool.
3. On account it was your Kool idea, you need
to run the operation.

Good luck, looking forward to your worthy endeavor.

p.s. If you were getting a t-shirt with large 4 color image on the back and 4 color small image on the front at $12 out the door, that was not a bad deal. It seems most automotive internet t-shirt prices at retail hover at $18. I should think initial sales of at least 400 shirts would be a good start to help Ryan keep the H.A.M.B. bills paid.

Anyone else have some thoughts?

Joel

Rix2Six

10-30-2003, 01:39 AM

I don't mind running the project for this.

I like the idea of something other than black/white/gray for the shirts. A coral or maroon would probably be as close as we could get to red primer unless we wanted to have the shirts dyed... adding to the expense. I think that pockets would be a good idea. I don't think they'll be enough demand for long sleeves but I'm willing to be proved wrong on this one.

The "colors" of t-shirts you guys have in mind are called garment dyed and are possible to get. There is a very cool rust colored one available. I'll get a color chart of the others that are available, and scan and post for future reference. (I used to work for one of the largest distributors of imprintable sportwear, Broder Brothers)

IMHO the shift logo is a classic... but it's a given and has been done before. I'm not trying to bash anyone's ideas because I really think it's a great piece of line art... in fact our club used a similar version for our shirts over 2 years ago.

I think we should so something that represents the hamb like a simple stylized drawing of a hambers car... you know, something that show's what the hamb is about- traditional cars.

Just my $.02

I have to disagree Mel. My concept is the perfect HAMB shirt...

ChromedRat suggested Primer Red instead of black or white.

Dan Barnett did the striping.

Dan Picasso did the shift logo.

I had the idea and created the design concept pictured previously.

So actually, this concept represents the HAMB to a T (pun intended). That's what the HAMB is about. Good people coming together for a greater good. As for the logo being done before... so? Everything we hold dear regarding our cars has been done before. Otherwise they would all be pink with neon and wings.

Hey, this place inspires me. I 'd love to see other concepts.

The_Monster

10-31-2003, 11:13 AM

Like I said before, Whoever does the artwork... wether its one guy or 30 guys, I believe we need at least a few designs and ideas to choose from, not just one idea.

So far I'm sure brush is coming up with some ideas right now. What we've seen are some good ideas so far and I have a few ideas already of my own.

But to make it fair, I think we should have a time where we make sure everyones ideas and designs are finalized, and submit them all at once, so that none get left behind or enter late.

Then once all the designs are posted, all the HAMBers vote for their favorite design. Thats my ideas anyways http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Rix2Six

10-31-2003, 11:24 AM

There's some good ideas flowing! The Contest could be fun. Maybe we can get more than one good design and then run a series of HAMB shirts. Do the winner and after that sells out go to 2nd place and make a run of those shirts etc.

Not if people are submitting their own designs. I was just saying that my concept was unique in that multiple people contributed. I'd venture to say that it would likely be one of the only "calaborative" designs in the contest.

I think Django has a pretty good idea, that would make a damn good looking Shirt.The two Brush just put up look good too.Why stop with one shirt?

As far as printing and distributing, why couldn't the design be sent to the outfit that did Zekes Cookbook? Then no money has to be put out by anybody, and availibility doesn't become an issue. From what I understood, they print the stuff on demand, instead of stocking it. A permanent link could be put on the HAMB somewhere and Ryan could be making money off these, with very little hassle.

And in my world kustom is spelt with a K!

PLEASE,,,,,
if you are going to do shirts again,,,
PLEASE make GIRLY ones,,,
not just BOY'S smalls or whatever the fuck you guys try to pass off as GIRLSIZED,,,

the CHEATERS have always pulled them off nicely,,,and at a nice price,,,
the PILEUP guys did one too,,,but REMEMBER,,,generally one size does NOT fit all,,,
so since you make GUY shirts in multiple sizes,,,
PLEASE make GIRLY shirts in multiple sizes,,,

if you do,,i will take a SMALL,,,to wear under my uniform at work,,,NEVER to a HAMBMEET,,,,

I think Django has a pretty good idea, that would make a damn good looking Shirt.The two Brush just put up look good too.Why stop with one shirt?

As far as printing and distributing, why couldn't the design be sent to the outfit that did Zekes Cookbook? Then no money has to be put out by anybody, and availibility doesn't become an issue. From what I understood, they print the stuff on demand, instead of stocking it. A permanent link could be put on the HAMB somewhere and Ryan could be making money off these, with very little hassle.

Da Cookbook (http://www.cafeshops.com/dragsfoodcrew)
Ok to address the CafePress deal. Yeah, they do it as ordered. The cookbook site is one of the free shops. I can only do one of each type of product.So that means only one design per shirt type. Granted there are a few different shirts offered. but you are limited in color to white and gray but you can do infant http://storetn.cafepress.com/9/7958049_B_store.jpg T and shirts for the gals or (thongs), lunch boxes, posters stickers http://storetn.cafepress.com/0/7947240_F_store.jpg and posters. Oh and you can do CDs to in case The HAMB CD needs a home.

Also if someone wanted to HAMB tech could be compliled and put in book form as well.

Biggest bitch is that the cost of the T's is a tad high. Base price of $13.99 for a plain white T but that includes the printing http://prodtn.cafepress.com/nocache/9/7947029_B_tn.jpg

I should of said this earlier, but I was in a hurry to post my ideas. I think that Djangos idea and Brushs ideas are all excellent!

Nothing is final and all these ideas so far(mine included) are just that, ideas. Maybe we can take parts of some and combine them with others, who knows.

And for all fairness, I understand this is Ryans call. But as far as which design is the one for the final pick, I think ALL the HAMBers, including Ryan, should vote on it.

that way everyone has a chance to vote and be heard. It makes it more of a group shirt, than just one guy picking the design.

What do you guys think? What do you think Ryan? Just some ideas for the group http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Maybe it could be a collabration of stripers. Get a panel and send it around and everyone add some lines to it and then mail it off to the next guy. Three to five guys maybe? Red oxide shirts are a good idea also, could you do black also. They don't show stains on them.

I like Django's shift knob w/ the pin sripping. I also like Brush's "The Hamb, International".
I think Monster's are graphically awesome but I don't feel they reflect rods and customs as well. They strike me more about flatheads and/or racing.
Just my 2 cents. Anyone have change for a nickel?

That roadster looks great, but what we need is something like a badass chopped & channeled A-Bone 5-W. Flatty with multiple carbs that looks like it's still being worked on. Maybe on jackstands with a wheel off showing the Buick drum and hairpin. Outline the pic with striping. On the front you could do the traditional HAMB logo over the pocket and maybe a Kustom. Something like a 50's engine compartment with rocket valve covers and a striped caddy air cleaner. Shirt needs to show that we HotRod and work on old school cars. My 2 cents worth.

The_Monster

11-03-2003, 03:00 PM

You know, I just got an idea after reading everyones comments so far on what they would like to see on the shirt.

Most everyone is agreeing that a real HAMB style car would be great to sybolize what kind of cars and people the HAMB is all about, right?

Well, I was thinking, instead of looking through all my pics of cars Ive taken for a suitable car that fits the image, why not use a REAL HAMB car?!?!

My idea was this: If you have a car that you feel fits the discription, email me a picture of it. I'll stylize it, clean it up in photoshop and use it within a new design.

How cool would it be to actually have a real HAMB car on our shirts, owned and built by a HAMBer?!

And just think, it could be your car that all the HAMBers have on their back! Maybe I could make a collage of the top three cars! A foordoor, a wagon, a truck, a roadster, a ???

Its just an idea, but what a cool way to involve EVERYONE, not just the artists! And we could have more than one shirt, with three car clusters on each one with different designs for each different three car cluster or whatever!!

I'm excited about the idea! let me know what you guys and gals think, I'm really curious to see if you like the idea. If you want to email me your car pic, send it here:

pictures@monsterhotrods.com

(pictures of cars/trucks taken at a 3/4 view are the best, but send whatever you think is cool)

11-03-2003, 05:15 PM

I like the shift knob design. I wasn't sure till I saw everyone else's ideas. While they are all kick ass. I like it simple. All the others are to complicated for me. The shift knob design kinda covers everyone. The kustom guys and the hot rod people to. Keeps down the us against them attitudes. Unless the automatic guys get all pissy about it. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif I feel that it does need to say traditional rods & customs on it someplace. Never leave a doubt what this place is about.

Django

11-03-2003, 05:18 PM

Those are good designs Monster. I've read the posts since friday and have a few comments.

Here's more rhetoric on why I like the pinstripe shifter design...

It's more abstract and open to interpretation. Notice how right away people who knew what those parts were took notice and commented that that motor wasn't the motor of their choice? I've even used those exact drawings myself for some design work for All-Custom Engineering. I think they are too specific for this usage. The HAMB is about alot of the aspects of traditionalism coming together. Not just putting an engine together and going fast.

I would like to see the design element of the Tshirt stand out in the crowd and I think Ryan agree's based on his comments whenever he pops into the thread. Go to any car show and look at the shirts for sale for whatever event. Not trad shows but anyshow, like GG for example. Ever notice that they put multiple cars on each event shirt to try to get as many people as possible to buy into the design? Why is that? Because a car that gives one guy wood, some else might not walk across the street for. While that would be an extreme example in HAMBland, it still holds true. How do you pick a car that makes everyone happy? You pick a custom and a hot rod, which is how the last shirt turned out, and it was a good shirt. But this time Ryan has suggested a more traditional design and based on conversations we've had over the course of the calendar project and seeing some of the design work that he has done recently, I know where he is coming from. He wants it clean, simple and unique and have a bit more heritage visually.

The point was also made that it should tell the HAMB story. ie people doing it themselves, showing the period parts, even showing the car apart to highlight the vintage pieces. IMO that is not the direction it should take. The HAMB is the HAMB. Either you get it or you don't. The main function of the shirt is to support the board. However it looks, it will achieve that. It also makes it easy to find fellow HAMBers. That's great and very helpful. But I don't think the shirt needs to tell the whole story and recruit new members to the HAMB by trying to create a design that covers every aspect of the trad movement, ie multiple cars, special speed parts, etc. The shifter logo/striping represent both sides of car building; the aesthetic and the mechanical and not so much hot rod vs custom.

That got a little long winded and maybe I'm a little closer to the design end of the HAMB experience since I have been working with Ryan and others on the calendar for so long. Whatever design is chosen, and whether or not it is one of mine, it should meet Ryan's vision.

The_Monster

11-03-2003, 06:16 PM

I agree with everything you said. However, I think a HAMBers car on the shirt is alot different than a few random popular cars on a generic shirt.

For one, they wont look like the other cars on shirts, and two, I think it would give even more sense of 'pride' (if you will), of wearing the shirt.

I know, it sounds kinda dumb, it is just an idea. And for a visual idea on this, I took the liberty of using a pic that 60's Style posted a while back. He doesnt remember posting it, so I guess its ok, haha!

Anyways, its just yet another idea, thats all! And dont piss on the pinstriping job, i was in a hurry to show you what I'm talking about http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

I have been patiently watching this post to see how it's going. I told ya all it was gonna be HUGE . I love the fact that it sparked so much interest, and I hope it equally sparks Moo-La for the H.A.M.B.'s bills.

Gee, we even have a dueling design art show. Man, It's outta sight.

But, a few things need perspective:

Someone has to run this thing with leadership: Rix2six?

Someone has to do/or handle shipping,stocking,waybills: Cherryblossom? ( you Da Girl ).

Who's gonna do the art: Brush,Django,the Monster? ( I now worship the ground that all three of you walk on ).

What's it gonna be? It looks like we can at least sell 400 to 500 shirts as soon as the ink dries.

Now, about design. These three designers are really blowing me away. But, there is one thing that needs to be part of any design. I'm sorry to sound to corporate. It's to identify the H.A.M.B. brand. A logo that is consitent thruout every design so that members of this brotherhood can recognize and gravitate towards each other whenever we cross paths. Make it even more special to be part of this than it already is. The simple logo at the top of the masthead is perfect. Add stripes, someone's ride, whatever.

H.A.M.B. store? At first I thought it was a great idea. Now, I think let a person join and become part of it. I don't care to see people wearing our cool stuff that don't understand.

2cents worth. I kinda feel strange now. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

chromedRAT

11-03-2003, 11:41 PM

rocky's truck might be a good call. for countless numbers of us it screamed HAMB. hell, why not?

in any event, there has to be some image of cars or at least engines on the shirt, to do otherwise would just not seem right to me. i personally dig the idea of having a kustom and a rod on the shirt if it is to be printed in multiple colors. if they will all be primer red, then it would only be logical to have a rod shirt and a kustom shirt, i think. perhaps the shift pattern logo would be a nice item to integrate the two if they are to be on the same shirt, leaving the front plain, save for the traditional HAMB logo on the left front chest. oh, yeah, i hope the artwork of the shirts will be on the back still.

i'm not sure where i stand on artwork vs photos though. too early to tell. these shirts are sure to kick ass regardless.

I think Monster nailed it with the Rocky's 33 design.
Django has a great design too, but I like the lettering Monster did better. The traditional rods & customs is too small on Dj's design. The garage scene is a great idea too, maybe with another pic tho. I'd like to see BASS's shoebox next to something like the Rocky33 in a garage scene. Or Ryan's 39 and the Roach Rod... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Plenty of the female HAMBers have made it obvious that they dont want just a small sized t-shirt as their only choice. They want a ladies shirt made for a lady. And rightly so.

Here are four popular ladies shirt styles. I'm not sure exactly what you women had in mind, or what styles you like wearing, but heres some ideas.

I also realize that these models and shirt sizes shown here are petite. in the real world there are all sizes and shapes of people. I'll see about showing ideas and shirts with womens sizes and plus sizes, so that no one will be left out.

Lets hear what the gals think of these four so far http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

(the short sleeve would have an image on the back, the sleeveless or tank tops most-likely wouldnt)

and for some of you that asked, I think that the designs should definatly go on the back with just the HAMB letters above the left handed pocket. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

11-04-2003, 10:49 PM

Great work on behalf of all the artists and a tough choice. I'm probably in for two of whatever design comes out on top.

If I had to choose one, I'd have to go with Django's chopped A. The Tradional Rods and Kustoms text is optional IMHO. Some people will understand and some won't - I have the same problem with my car (When ya gonna paint it? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif). It isn't for the masses.

Design on the back - small logo over the pocket.

JCrew/cock-suckers... that's kinda funny!

I can do one with Ryan's car and initially it crossed my mind, but I didn't think that would be something he would be into based on the frequency that he posts pics of it. Personally I love it and it inspires me on the build up of my '36. But on the whole, it starts us down the road of whose car would be better than someone else's...

Like I said, the Rocky33 would be cool, I just don't like that pic. Any old pic of any old trad car simply will not work. It has to be unique, IMO.

Well after all the cool designs (you are all awsome) I still prefer Django's (pinstrip - 4sp) design because it is simple and clean and does not take the whole shirt up.. Like Rocky I am a shirt whore and would buy a few...

You fellers need to be patient. Geez, Ryan said when he got done with the calendar deal . He'd think about shirts. Why are all you guys so determined to get these shirts made RIGHT NOW? While we're at it why are some of you all so gung ho to have your art on the shirt? It's not like Germ or Nads will respect you more or that Denise will actually go topless for ya. (Denise if that's part of the deal,let me know http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif) You all need to go work on your rides and wait for Ryan to say he's ready.

We are patient man, and we all are waiting.

The reason why there was such a rush of information, designs and input, is because we were all brainstorming, coming up with ideas, getting feedback.

Thats just what happens when alot of creative people, all interested in one specific topic get together and throw around ideas!

As far as having a persons artwork choosen to be used on the shirts... I think you'd need to be an artist to understand that. Or a photographer, or a cook, or a welder or whatever.

If your creative work, your own design or creation gets choosen over all the other awesome entries... then its a feeling of pride, a sense of accomplishment. It has nothing to do with people respecting you more.

Those are MY opinions anyway http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

where the hell are the likes of foiled again, sailor, franco, mcphail, etc etc etc. you guys can expect some competetion when the staging lights come on.

so far, i think the designs are a little trendy. i like the monotone look of bromans concepts so far.

hamb banner on the front. design on the back (with the hamb banner). would really like to see something from sailor. actually i need to get in touch with sailor. you change email man?

so, chill. after 20bigillion pages, nobody reads the post anymore, dig?

I really dont know what you're driving at John. You obviously have an issue about the HAMB shirt or the artists that are interested in being a part of it.

Why you dragged my company website into this, I have no idea. Why are you making this personal?

I never tell anyone on the HAMB about my business, I dont draw people to it, I dont include my web address with my signature.

Are you trying to come to the conclusion that I hope my design gets picked so it will drum up business for my company??

Many of the artists on the HAMB, including several of the contributing artists to this t-shirt design thread are small business owners and/or have thier own website.

The contributing artists for the t-shirt design should not be condemned for being business owners. We've volunteered our artwork, shared our talents and time with HAMB, to be used for all the HAMBers to enjoy.

Its that simple.

Keep in mind that photos always turn out like shit-on-a-stick when you try to reproduce them onto t-shirts. Stick with the line art. There are guys on here - some have even posted in this thread - that are pros at line art drawings of cars/engines/etc. If you gotta have a car on it, use something that they've come up with that's stylized to fit the feel of the HAMB.

And, as said before, people will be more inclined to buy or walk away from shirts that have cars they like/don't like. So, that said, stick with a Ford and not an odd-ball GM or Mopar since the vast majority of guys are Ford guys - simple marketing.

Dreamweaver

03-30-2004, 01:48 PM

New guy speaking up a bit.

The simpler the better in my mind(simple minded).

Ya start getting too much paint or whatever on your back or frontside and it gets way to friggin hot out in the sun.

Maybe the H.A.M.B logo over a shirt pocket and a nice line art/ pinstripe thingie on the back.

If I had a vote Ryan's coupe would be killer.

If I had the time I would do one with the vectorized version of Ryan's car posted above, instead I just put a sepia version of this pic on the shirt with the real HAMB logo font.

I think this should be the BACK of the shirt, I don't like huge graphics on my chest/belly, it looks too NASCAR for me - kinda tacky. We should do a small graphic, if any on the front. IMOHO.

The line art is one of my favorite things too, kinda like Bell's art in the back of (gasp) Street Rodder. I used to buy that mag just for the art showcases in front and Bell's stuff in the back, no kidding. Then I reaqlized that I wasn't into ANY of the cars they were putting into their mag, but that's a different story......

Maybe do it in Rust. I like the thought of them being a series. Maybe I'm wrong. At least this way it wouldn't turn the whole process into one post after another trying to out do each other.

I PMed Ryan and I'm waiting for his response.

03-31-2004, 10:54 AM

Here's a pic of a brick red one that looks very much like red oxide primer when seen in the sunlight.

Two thoughts on the design - I really like Django's initial offering and like it even better with a car in the center.
Let's choose two cars, a rod and a custom.
Make the first print run with one or the other and 6-12 months down the road offer the second car.
A matching set for collectors.

Ladies shirts/sizes/styles are important as well.

One big design on front or back is the way to go.
Two big designs make the shirt too hot to wear in the summer.
At least it does around here with our 100+ temps.

Here's another thought on color, sky or powder blue is a color not used much at all where hot rod T-shirts are concerned.
That way you could tell the HAMB'rs at a glance from a long ways off.
The red oxide color would work the same, but the blue would be more novel and perhaps a better choice for the ladies as color conscious as they are.

My choice for a shirt would be for Django's design on the back, car in the center and a small pattern over the heart that features the cartoon like pic of Ryans coupe as seen in his avitar.

OK a Gratuitous BTT!

Oh and this is LAST CALL for artwork submissions. If any of you ARTISTES haven't already submitted your designs please do so. I'm gonna go through this thread and I know that there's a couple of shirt designs on the stickers thread and pick the top contenders then we're gonna let the HAMB masses choose the final designs.

Also, as far as styles and stuff. I wanna keep it simple... Probably just do std. T-Shirts and a ladies shirt. If it goes over well, we could consider hoodies in the fall when it cools down.

I haven't gotten the official okie-dokie from Ryan yet so I'm kinda doing this without permission at this point. Obviously, if Ryan isn't behind it, it's not gonna happen.

03-31-2004, 04:09 PM

Ryan mentioned to me about a month or so ago how he wanted to have a hand in the design this time around. Not sure if he stills feels this way, or if he just has too much on his plate right now for t-shirts to be a huge concern....but, why don't you give him a few days to get back to you. A few more days isn't going to matter one way or the other and I really would like to see what he has in mind. The shop logo that he came up that HotRod2Hell turned into a tattoo was cool and something like that on the back of a t-shirt would be very unique. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Well Ryan it's what ever you want!

Red Oxide with the Shifter logo would be easy, quick and distinctive. Easy to spot at gatherings.

My idea was to pick maybe the top 6 or so designs out of the many suggested and then have a poll to pick the most popular among the HAMB masses.
