My SG101 T-shirts are getting kind of worn out.

Are there any plans to do another run soon?

If that one design could be a few colors on the one color shirt... I'd totally rock this on a shirt:

Shirt color... of course white would work, but maybe even the icy aqua blue/greenish color that's the rising sun on this website could be kinda cool.

Has anyone thought of using CafePress (Go to cafepress.com and type "surf gear" in the search field to see what's already there) or something like them?

You upload your designs to a storefront you set up on their Website, and they print on demand whenever there's an order. They do all the shipping and sales tracking for you; then they send you money.

Because there is no on-hand inventory, they're not so good for on-site sales at events, but they greatly simplify having whatever size or color customers want. It sure makes overseas orders (say to Hawaii and Australia) easy.

They have many types of T's, muscle shirts, caps, hoodies, baseball shirts, mugs and lots of other products, including childrens and pets clothes.

And they do bumper stickers.

Like this? http://www.cafepress.com/sg101

Yeah, like that.

Maybe a link to the SG101 store there could be inside the Store link on the SG101 Home page?

Contact Mammoth Print Shop in Auburn, Alabama and tell them that Noah from Kill, Baby...Kill! sent you. They will work out a great rate for you, I can assure you. (http://www.mammothprintshop.com/v2/index.html) If you call, ask for Eric Fisher.

yes jeff. they sold okay when i took them to california with me but it took me forever to sell what was left after the convention. i ended up just breaking even on them, which is okay, but i was hoping to have some $$$ from them to give brian for this site.

With very limited profit, with all the colors of the logo, I am pretty sure you could get the shirts at a price that could go for 10 to 15 dollars with a minimum order of 25.

This is a community-based website; I can't do everything myself, nor would I want to. People like Carol, Jeff, Warren, Ken DuShane, Danny, etc. have all stepped up and volunteered their time and efforts for everyone to benefit from. So a big round of applause for Carol who led us through 2 runs of t-shirts in the recent past.

I like the idea, in theory, of another t-shirt with Fred's design. But I don't know if I want to take on the distribution. A couple of options spring to my mind:

1. Carol runs the show again. But perhaps I front the money like I did the first year. Carol ponied up the dough the 2nd year and I was frightened she was going to take a bath on it.
2. Contagious Graphics already has the Fred Lammers' design on file from when I had the stickers made. I could get them to do a run of shirts for me. I'd do all the distribution.
3. Cafe Press is probably the last resort. Prices would be higher and I really doubt any profit would be made for the site if we went with them. The last time I spoke with John Detrich about his SG101 shirts, he hadn't seen one thin dime. But at least shirts would get out to those who wanted them, and neither I nor Carol would have to mess with distribution. And really, there is not a lot of profit to be made anyway. It's more for fun and site promotion.

I'm going to move this thread to the website forum.

brian, i wouldn't mind doing it again and i don't mind paying for them. i think the new sticker, above on fadys' post, would look good as a front design. it would look good on a heather grey shirt (kind of the color of a grey athletic sweatshirt) it wouldn't show up on black unless there was a thin white line outlining the black. a lot of people don't like white because it gets dirty, black because it's too hot, etc, etc but like i said before one color of shirt and printed on the front and i'm in. so.....if you want me to do it again chime in and give me an idea of size and how many........it's just easier for everyone involved if i use my stores paypal/charge card account and of course you get a free sticker with a shirt as i've got lots of the older sticker left over.

I'm ready to order!
