[IC] T-shirts / Polos / Sweaters / Beanies

[el2k]

Hey all,

I work for a T-shirt Screen Printing and Embroidery company.

I was wondering if anyone would be interested in maybe a tee/polo with a small Geekhack logo?
Or even a Tee with a print of each of the MX switches on.

This is just a vague interest check.

If people are interested then I can get the artwork done pretty quickly and post some pics up along with prices.

Obviously the more interest there is the cheaper the garments will be.
However they won't be too expensive at all.

Please post what kind of garment you would be interested in and what kind of logo/artwork.

Thanks
Liam

Eg. Tee - Screen Printed
Poloshirt - Embroidered  etc..

EDIT: If we do a geekhack tee/polo then we can give a dollar or two from each one as a donation to the site, just to raise some funds etc.


I don't use Photoshop at all but put together some mock ups quickly.
I took the "geekhack" logo/font from the wristrest group buy thread, I hope that's ok.

Let me know what you people think?

Tee shirts with Left breast print and back ass print.





Poloshirt with just Left breast print.



Beanies.

[Preach]

Does your company do jerseys? Examples: Team CLG, Team Glock.

Cause I think this idea to have GH shirts/jerseys rather neat. Far as logo/artwork nothing specific.

[el2k]

We can get in pretty much any garment to print on, some turn out better than other depending on material.

I didn't mention Jerseys as I assumed people only really wore them as part of a clan/team at LAN's or gaming events as such.
Or am I totally getting confused and not understanding what a jersey is?

[inlikeflynn]

seeing as its winter and painfully cold here, i'd say lets get some GH beanies

[kmiller8]

The way most GH GB's work, you'll get a beanie for next winter )

But flynn has a good point, beanies are awesome.

And if you plan on using the GH name, I think you'll need to contact iMav, but he'll probably pop his head in soon.

[iArson]

I'm in as long as its a high quality polo

[Halverson]

We call them toques up here folks! And would love a black toque with white GeekHack writing on the rim. And a nice big toque at that!

Would love a nice GH T-shirt, but what I'd really like is that "Wanna Switch" design with the cherry switch diagram. I think those are up on some UK site iirc.

[el2k]

Beanies would be embroidered.
Personally my favourite and they look pretty smart.
Turn around could literally be a week on those.

Here are some examples of beanies I've done in the past month or two just to show the quality of the stitching.

[oluf]

I would be interested in a beanie and a polo.. The embroidery  on those beanies looks great... Could the polos be embroidered too?

[akuJIWA]

I vote sweaters and polos.

Nicknames + Geekhack logo?

[CPTBadAss]

I'd definitely be in for some merch. I'd like a shirt more than a beanie since I can only show off my Fandom in the winter if I buy a beanie

[razorsharpgears]

I would be up for a T-Shirt, and a PullOver Hoodie as well  )

[reverkiller]

Those beanies look swell. I'd take one!

[phetto]

Would be sweet with a zip hoodie and a beanie :-D

[esoomenona]

Maybe polos with a Cherry cherry logo embroidered.

[reaper]

Thank you for your kind consideration and I'd be in for a beanie! 

[epicsilas]

Those beanies look awesome! I would definitely be in for one with a Geekhack logo. I might take a t-shirt and/or a zip hoodie with a Geekhack logo as well.

[The_Beast]

Looks sweet but I don't wear hats, my hair is too fabulous to ruin with a hat


A cherry logo would be pretty cool too

[SmallFry]

Thank you for your kind consideration and I'd be in for a beanie! 

In California? ) I'd be in for a Beanie too though. Sounds cool! I will have my SmallFry flat brim for warm weather and the beanie for the cold:D

[kmiller8]

Thank you for your kind consideration and I'd be in for a beanie! 

I'll pay double if you send me reaper's beanie first

[esoomenona]

I'd be careful about putting it on your head, reaper...

[Halverson]

You mean your mane? hehe

[el2k]

I vote sweaters and polos.

Nicknames + Geekhack logo?

Sadly each nickname would be a no go really as their is a initial cost per logo much like a new legend cost when doing a keyset with SP.

However if people REALLY wanted it then I could get names heat press on but it would be a lot longer to do each one individually etc logistics wise.

Maybe polos with a Cherry cherry logo embroidered.

I could do this very easily however, I'm not sure If Cherry would mind us doing that? I'm not sure on the copyright laws for that? We wouldn't be making any money from their logo..as it would only be for us? Have to look into it.



Thanks for all the interest so far and positivity around this.

I shall do some mock ups after work today and get them pput up for beanies and polos/tees etc.

[Dgsbllx]

I'd be down for this, then we could have some spot the Geekhacker thread where people in items of clothing have been seen!
I vote embroidered and sweaters/beanies/polos.

[nullstring]

I'd be interested in a polo.

[el2k]

Added a few cheeky/awful mock ups to the original post, check em out.

[boost]

Not a fan of the geekhack on the ass -_-

ROFL next it will be booty pants!

[jwaz]

Black on black with a bigger logo on the front!

[JPG]

Black polo and beanie looks nice

[reaper]

Can we get a beanie with ClickClack's avatar on it? 





We'll call it CC beanie or Clack Beanie or something. lol

That would be a nice idea!!!

[el2k]

Hahaha fair enough, I only did that mock up as most people that come to us with a name/logo on the left breast also have it at the bottom on the back.

And this is exactly what this IC is for, to hear your opinions.

Black on black with a bigger logo on the front!

Black on black doesn't come out to great, I know it's very "smart" or "sleek" when say Ralph Lauren or Fred Perry or whatever do it, But not sure it would look great for geekhack.


I can also do a mockup of a polo with just "gh" on the front left brest with a bit larger logo if you think that'll look good?

[el2k]

We could, However it's a very detailed design and has lots of colours.
2 things which don't work great with embroidery.

We could simplify the picture into less colours.

We would also need his approval.

[SmallFry]

I say orange font on the Beanies, with a dark grey, not black. IMO.

[el2k]

[reaper]

Other people on the street might interpret it as Gay Hack. lol  I'd prefer the it to spells out the words GeekHack instead of abbreviating it.

[Halverson]

Not a fan of the geekhack on the ass -_-

ROFL next it will be booty pants!

GeekHack yoga bubble booty pants? IN!

Also, should it be geekhack.org? Diggin the orange on grey beanie

[Tym]

I quite like the idea, and supporting the site Not sure what I would take, put a GH hoodie would be awesome!

[el2k]

[Halverson]

^Do like!

[SmallFry]

Mucho better:)

[Dgsbllx]

I like that, but i'd prefer a bit of a darker grey if that's not being too picky 

[f1shf3ast]

I like both the black and white t-shirts. I'd be in for t's if they end up getting done.

[Computer-Lab in Basement]

in4a beanie

[Glod]

oh i am interested in a shirt, preferably an embroidered polo

however it would need to be 3XL, i'm kind of a big dude  lol

[jwaz]

CC avatar snapbacks, or fullsize on a blue tshirt.

[CPTBadAss]

I like the polos and t-shirts in the OP but would prefer the white font to be orange. Also, that beanie is really awesome.

[GeorgeK]

I prefer gh to be honest - the polo looks good

[eyesmiles]

The geekhack beanie looks great. In for 1 for sure.

A geekhack hoodie would be awesome! Perhaps some day ...

[Alessandro]

In4merchandise.

[el2k]

Tidied up OP a little with images.

I think I shall have to make a googledoc thing and take down real numbers for interest on what items. (polos/beanies/tees/hoodies etc)

[kmiller8]

why no mockups of the booty shorts with Geek on one cheek and Hack on the other.

[el2k]

Sorry?

[Halverson]

Yup, those shorts are perfect. No need for a beanie now!

[i3oilermaker]

[NikoGasm]

I would totally be in for some merchandise. I'd at least get a beanie, but I'll probably be in for just about everything.

I really like the beanie with "geekhack" spelled out on the dark grey color. That one looks nice.

[SmallFry]

Sorry?

Well I know what my next girlfriend is getting for her birthday/ national anything day!

[longweight]

Love the t-shirt with geekhack on the ass.

[epicsilas]

How about a beanie with the logo at the top of the forum? Or a t-shirt? I like that a little better than the regular geekhack.

[iArson]

Geekhack boxers

That sounds like your numbers will be tight. Pun intended, well for me anyways... not bragging or anything;)
JK. Heh.

He's always bragging about his hat...but do you ever hear anything about underwear?? iArson is onto something!

[iArson]

Because its true 

[emptythecache]

I'd be interested in a black/charcoal polo with embroidered orange "geekhack"

You so funny. I do like my SmallFry hat though.

[Acetrak]

How about some zip ups and pullover hoodies?

[el2k]

How about some zip ups and pullover hoodies?

Can easily screen print on hoodies, I just wasn't sure if there would be much interest in them.

I'll sort myself out this week and get a form up to see some numbers!

[Acetrak]

Yeah I figured hoodies would only work if there's a nice enough graphic, just plain stitching might be a tad boring

[iArson]

Because its true 

You so funny. I do like my SmallFry hat though.

I love that hat  :'(

[SmallFry]

I made it at Lids. Cost me $30 or so.

[quake4mhg]

Interested in one of each if not expensive

[NikoGasm]

+1 for pullovers. Especially like a charcoal color.

Hi, I've been a lurker for a little bit and I would be interested, but I've never been a fan of the geekhack logo font. I know it's probably blasphemy, but something just irks me about it, especially if it's going to be displayed on a clothing item. Maybe try something a bit more modern. Here's a quick mock up I did to just put in my (probably worthless) two pennies. *goes back to lurking*

I really like how the .org is laid out. But I like the original geekhack font. Maybe a mashup? ^_^

[reaper]

^ That looks really good!  I'd be in for one of those. 

[mkawa]

i like!

[el2k]

I got some rough prices for stuff at work today, I shall update the OP tomorrow at some point.

As stated before I am no designer nor am I any good with photoshop I was just doing some mock ups for visual reference.
Anyone can feel free to design a logo/tee/anything. (please bear in mind, more colours = more expensive, for both embroidery and screen printing)
I simply run the machines that can make this happen.

I feel it is going to be hard to accommodate to everyones needs regarding colours/logo preference so after a little more interest is gathered and maybe one or two logo have been decided upon, I "MIGHT" contact mkawa or any other administrator and decide with them what to go for (and of course get their blessing), then front the money myself for a certain amount of units, say 50 or something and just sell them for COST + the $2 or so donation to GH rather than doing a full blown groupbuy and things getting VERY complicated and out of hand.

So basically, Just as an example..
"I have made 30x beanies in this colour/logo combination, $10 each, of which $2 goes to GH."
or
"I have 30x tees available in this colour/logo combinations, $15 each, of which $2 goes to GH" (I would print some in each size to accommodate for most people)


PLEASE BEAR IN MIND
I am not doing this to make any profit for myself, I am merely offering it to help raise funds for the website and mainly just use my job to get us some pretty cool merchandise for the hobby we all love at an affordable price.
Full transparency of garment costs and labour costs can and will be given if anyone wants to question this.
I can even do the embroidery work in my own after work hours to cut costs even more if you so wish, however turn around will be a lot longer..

If you think that is an awful idea, then pleas tell me



EDIT: The above examples aren't actual costs, just a rough idea. The more ordered, the cheaper it gets so keep that interest incoming.

[el2k]

P.S I do also like that design above ^^ However I feel it might be a bit much for some people who would not want to explain/tell their hobby to other people? That's why i went with "gh" on the beanies.

I for one am not ashamed of this hobby or being a total nerd, but some are

And again, please keep the interest and design ideas incoming.

Thaks
Liam

[jdcarpe]

I really like that logo, also. I would want it embroidered on the left breast of a polo. 2XL (US sizing) please.

I like your idea of selling them for your costs plus the donation to GH. That's how I did my Geekhack badge sale.

Anyone else want a beanie with the style of the .org on this shirt for the whole geekhack? I think it would look awesome. Only me? Okay. .-.

[NikoGasm]

You know I really liked iArson's GH boxers idea. I'd totally buy them.

[phetto]

Please no regular T-shirts.. You cant use shirt with normal necks, need either V-neck or larger neck xD
Go for a cozy zip hoodie instead!!!!

[NikoGasm]

Go for a cozy zip hoodie instead!!!!

I already know for certain right now that I will be buying a beanie, and if a hoodie is available I'll be buying one of those as well. Though I'd really prefer a pullover.

Out of all the choices so far, a hoodie would excite me the most, and definitely pullover rather than zip in my opinion.

[MissMurd3r84]

All this talk of beanies and sweaters makes me feel sick, oh wait, it's the 100+ temperature here that is doing that.

Only -21 here, I would like a beanie....although I am wearing one with a moose who wears glasses right now...

[telepete]

Fahrenheit measurements oh no... F= 9C/5+32 right? Either way it's cold in Canada so a beanie would be useful. I love the grey/orange. -24C today.

I hate Fahrenheit, and I'm in the US. I don't understand why it is used at all. Celsius >
