2002 Spyderco Forum Tee Shirts Brainstorm

[32055]

A forum shirt would be sweet. Count me in.

[aero_student]

I will get one whatever the design is. How about a navy shirt with gold embroidery or silk screening.

[Ted]

Well, I would buy it for sure. What I would like is a black T-shirt, good material, with a front pocket, with a small gold Spyderco logo, and maybe 'www.spyderco.com' on the back.

How about this picture with spydies around it. Then you could put the picture from catalog on the front.

In the land of knives, Spyderco is king.

Maybe something like this?

Never let minor details like the facts get in the way of telling a good story.

Sign me up! I think if this is a project that will become a regular release of a new design each year (GREAT IDEA, hint hint), then the shirt should contain a design that reflects something that was a big influence on the Spyderco forum for that year, such as a new release or an event.
But, if this may only be a one time thing. I think the shirt design should remain simple but high quality. Maybe only include the logo and a tag line like "Reliable high performance". It would be nice to have this on a polo shirt with the design embroiderd in yellow or gold.
Well anyway just a thought, I will stop rambling and yes I want to be put on the list to buy a few.

"... Get Bit..." ... lol I like that logo and saying. I also second Carlos' suggestion about Coolmax (or another company grade of wicking poly). It may drive the cost up a bit, but they outwear and outlast cotton t's.

"... don't forget whatever we do include some in XXL"

[Brian Lavin]

Email me when a concensus is arrived at, I will buy one. <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Slightly spiffed up versions...

Cool Idea! I'm in! Although I am sure I'd like almost any design, I would especially appreciate anything with the flags of the international members on it. Seeing, that I myself am an intenrational member.

Count me in, but has to be an XXL, and a 'tall' size would not hurt my feelings either. (FBC gear we call it down here... Fat-Bas****-Compliant :-D)

I would REALLY love to see a re-issue of the old "All God's Critters" shirts. I still have two of them, one black and one white, but they are getting pretty rough around the edges. Yep, a blue or black "Critters" pocket-t would be my first choice.

A blue or black polo with a gold spydie, or a gray one with a black spydie would be very cool too, and I could even wear that to work without drawing too much attention.

Somebody earlier mentioned a khaki ball cap with a black spydie on the front; like that idea a lot too!

[sotyakr]

Has anyone checked out an online outift called CafePress <www.cafepress.com> ? After uploading your artwork, they'll produce shirts, caps, mugs. etc. and post the merchandise for sale on their site. Might be worth checking out.

Hi there,
also like the idea. Some guys mentioned already, to come up with a design showing all the different countries by placing stars. Don't forget the star for Germany, haha.
Nevertheless, if the plan becomes reality - I also go for a shirt, no matter if it is a polo or regular t-shirt.

Count me in for t-shirt, Polo or cap! They think I am crazy anyway! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

[Bleeding]

I'll take 2, maybe 3, could be 4.

[kraziekurtis]

I have a design but I can't reproduce it on computer GARRRRGGHHHHHH!

Maybe I will make a crude sketch in MS Paint so you all can get an idea of what it's like.. :

[kraziekurtis]

I did a good enough job I suppose <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

<b>important notes: </b>
1.Inside of the "O" would not be a circle it would be the SpyderBug <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>
2.The background would be a dark color, black, navy blue, dark green
3.The SS Native would be more flashy and preferably plain edge (edge doesn't matter really though)
4.The text color would be the color of a stainless steel handle on a knife.
5.The text for Spyderco would be the official Spyderco "font"
6.Forum info could be "engraved" on the knives or on the back of the shirt (if on back in the same color text)
7.The design could be a "pocket" logo being placed where the pocket on a pocket t-shirt would be..without the pocket <img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> OR it could be a big design to fill most of the whole front of the shirt

WOOOOOOOOOO

Nice work Krazy!!
Your design suggestion looks nice.
I think your 731st post (you certainly do chatter a lot) was the best!
