Binge · « **on:** Mon, 06 May 2013, 12:36:46 »

Renamed this IC for the sake of transparency. I don't want anyone to think there's a movement in over-all direction.

Mission Statement:

Offer a group buy for a hooded piece of geekhack apparel that is a relatively attractive. Some people will like it and some will not like it.

This thread will be updated with price-breaks when the information becomes available.

In the meantime fill out the following form to assist in organizing this bad boy. FILL OUT THIS FORM

Also looking for geekhack logos, and I'll be hosting a poll once we have a bunch compiled. If you'd like a specific logo option please post it here. If you know the origin of the logo PLEASE name the creator so we can contact and request permission to use the image. This whole thing will require auth of this forum to proceed, and I'd like to have my ducks in a row before approaching teh big wigs.

EXAMPLES

SportCoUSA

Pennant

American Apparell

I would just point to the ".org"

It's gonna have a ".org" right? People have to know it's a website and not some new religion lol

Edit;
most people won't stop you in your tracks to bother you about your gear XD

I just posted this in Jwaz's thread but here it is again

the TL hoodie is excellent so a GH color scheme with this design would also be excellent.

The TeamLiquid hoodie is an American Apparel blank. It runs small but I love mine so much. I usually wear a L but my TeamLiquid hoodie is an XL. Just food for thought

Any way to make this a zip up, or pull over hoodie? Not a big fan of the button up.

So far I only have 3 people interested in a GH hoodie according to the form. If people get past step #1 we can move on to step #2 and find a supplier/style

I'm not against the button up but I'd much prefer a zip-up as well

I agree. This logo across the front of the sweater would be sweet! Or the GH keycaps in Grey/orange printed on either side of the zipper. I would be down for a zipper style, or even more for a pull over.

(wasn't sure of exact font so I just used Kristen ITC so you get the idea)

I like the ideas that are popping up. Ideas on placement, font, and style will be in round 2 of the forms.

Looks like a whole lot of love for gray, black, and orange

I'd be in for a black/gray tee shirt with a diagram of the IBM buckling spring mechanism. I thought I saw someone had one, but I'm not sure

This. A t-shirt would be cheaper, have more universal appeal, which would translate into more purchases.

Form filled love the idea of a letterman jacket. Hope it's orange and grey !!

Binge · « **Reply #40 on:** Mon, 06 May 2013, 15:01:45 »

just a preview and a warning. I think saying Letterman Hoodies was a bit premature.

I've got a ton of options in front of me. The goal of this [IC] is to get a rough count of people interested in a hoodie style piece of apparel showing love for Geekhack.org

Once a completed and attractive idea comes together, which will happen, some people may be disappointed with the outcome. If there can be options in the eventual [GB] I will offer them.

Three sources are looking really slick. American Apparel, SportCoUSA, and Pennant seem to have a lot of great styles and choices.

Phase #1 is almost done. I'm pretty sure the color options are going to be cut and dry. The community also really just wants a GH logo.

Phase #2 will dive into logo options, style options that fit color preferences, and embroidered vs screen printed.

I am absolutely in, as long as it doesn't have the words "pop" and "cherry." No idea why that joke bothers me so much.

Don't worry, I wasn't serious. However, I'm not sure why that would bother anyone. It's just inappropriate to wear on a t-shirt in public.

Glissant · « **Reply #43 on:** Mon, 06 May 2013, 15:45:08 »

I'm in for whatever design really, but I would love my handle on the hoodie that's for sure. Orange and dark gray are my colors of choice.
And depending on price I will probably get two.

SmallFry · « **Reply #44 on:** Mon, 06 May 2013, 15:46:19 »

I'd do grey on orange, just to mix it up.
