Club T-Shirts

[seadooguy]

Hey People,

Since I don't know how to create a poll on these boards, and if I really have access to making one but, I would like to know how much you are willing to pay for an official toprotege.com t-shirt.

Please give me an idea so that I can see what my friend can do for us. He is the owner and operator of:
Spirit Sportswear (http://www.spiritsportswear.ca)

Go to: Techno -> Catalogue -> T-Shirts -> Gilden 2000

That's the t-shirt he can print on for us, for less than $10 (incld. setup fee and taxes) and one colour. It is a good brand of t-shirt.

Lemme know what you guys and girls think. He can print on anything, including laniards and GOLF BALLS!!! lol

[ALS-protege]

I'm Down with that...
At least someone wouldn't have to wear a "Honda" t-shirt to our meets again...And you know who I'm Talking about.
hahahaha

Really...t-shirts sound cool to me..

[protegedude]

Having some club apperal sounds good to me. I wouldn't mind getting a t-shirt or two.
Five to ten dollars for a good shirt seems pretty good.

[CarDemon]

I'm down with that idea too!
I'll pay ten bucks or so for a good quality t-shirt.
I think some of the heads of state were thinking of a logo and font a few weeks back. Check in with them and lets get this organized asap. I'm eager to purchase one

[bluezoom]

Yah Richard, $10 to 15 bucks is certainly reasonable. I'd get one. Do you know anyone that'll do embroidery on a ball cap?

[KeeWee]

Just out of curiousity - would/could the girls of toprotege get different ones? or are we also stuck with the baggy t-shirts guy's wear?

[SunBurst-P5]

I'm in with Candice...I'd like a t-shirt...but I too want something a little bit (actually a lot) smaller than the guys' sizes. Keep up posted! http://msg.toprotege.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[MP5Navy]

FYI there has been much talk in the Officer's Lounge about T-shirts. We are just finalizing some logos and T-shirt designs. Ed and I have already decided on a T-shirt printer in the Markham area - he happens to be a friend of Ed's and quoted us a very decent price.

The girls will have their pick of smaller T-shirts that will show off their breasts, narrow waists, belly buttons, and the sensuous rounded contours of their shoulders and backs. Women please do not worry about the T-shirts fitting baggy, I realize that you like em tight and the WESTSIDE would not have it any other way. http://msg.toprotege.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sly.gif

[feedb4ck]

I'm thinking you forgot to mention that the female members shirts will be white, and there will be the mandatroy testing for fit and comfort while wet.

Have to make sure the shirts are of decent quality....

[KeeWee]

i knew this was coming...Dave wouldn't pass up the opportunity to make a comment..... http://msg.toprotege.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

[MP5Navy]

Instead of using water we will be using thick, white, sweet, condensed milk to wet the ladies and their new shirts. I'm a pig! OINK!

[Bill_Stats]

You R a pig!!!!

But, one with great taste and ideas.

[KeeWee]

I'll wear a tight white shirt if dave wears one, too (i know, i cringe at the thought, too, but it would be funny).

[MP5Navy]

OMG Kee Wee, if you wear a tight white top for a contest of this magnitude I will not be wearing a tight white top I'll be sporting some tighty-white-eys! I better start shaving my groin now so by the time the contest hits I won't have any ingrown hairs!

CandyAss you're suck a freak,
All you do is think of meat.
Wrapped in a rubber,
or dipped in poo.
I doesn't matter it's all the same to you.

BTW I think CandyAss is getting wittier the more she posts. One day I'm sure I'll get burnt by her. OUCH...

Wasn't this forum about getting club shirts? Dave better start controlling those pre-teen hormones of his.... http://msg.toprotege.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/crazy.gif

[MP5Navy]

Yes Yes Yes.... The WHITE MAN is the Asian girls Kryponite. Asian girls like White Boys cause they are easy to handle and boss around. Hell just the other day I had a Pro5 cut me off. He had celtic dragon graphixs and a huge APC wing on the hatch. I got outta the car and walked over to that little Carrot Top Casper the Friendly Ghost Trailer Park Spam Eater. I told him that he cut me off and punched him right in the kisser. Three of his friends got outta the car later on to whisper some bad words at me while I drove off. White boys take about 3 mins to get your back, love to talk smack, and love to push each other in the chest (back and forth) and call it a fight. Oh and they also like close talking when they are mad.

[Orange]

lol! http://msg.toprotege.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif This thread is the best entertainment I've had today! Maybe we should have a poll on Candice in tight white t vs Dave is tight whities?!

Back to the t-shirts, which for some bizzare reason seems like the topic of this thread (???), are we going to have club colours? Or can we pick the colour that matches our ride? Too many choices, too little t-shirt time ...

[MP5Navy]

The colour of the T-shirt will end up being the colour of your ride. I've designed a logo and most of the officers agree but Tax and Dave (farmside) think we can do better. This design may show up on the back and a full graphic or over the left chest (or in Kee Wee's case breast).

Tell me what you think it reps the club. Also feel free to forward your own designs. If you don't know how to post pics you can e-mail them to me at pro5navy@hotmail.com (please do not add me to any lists that involve forwarded jokes of pics - thanks).

[Protege5girl]

I saw that logo on a taxi cab this weekend.

[MP5Navy]

HUH? Are you serious?! What colour taxi?

[taxmasta]

that shrit is not good.
there is NO way that will ever be the &quot;club shrit&quot;

[midnightblue97lx]

Kinda like how Protege' is spelled out with the buildings.

[seadooguy]

Well, seeing as though Dave loves to run(steal) the show, I won't make any more suggestions.

Just thought that since I had some connections, I would try and help out a little bit, but noooo, &quot;Ed and I have already decided on a T-shirt printer in the Markham area&quot;.

&quot;Thanks for helping out Rich, but other arrangements have already been made.&quot;

Keep us posted as to how the printing is coming along!
Can't wait to wear some OFFICIAL TPC merchandise!

Peace

Ps. Just noticed the logo and I think you could do better!

[taxmasta]

noooo noooooo

no offence to dave...

how do ppl like this shrit ?

i will cry if i had to wear it

[MP5Navy]

BTW Tax while we are saying the word suck. I think the TOPROTEGE.Com stickers all suck unless they came from the WESTSIDE (we do need a sedan version though).

I think the logo above would look much better with an oval that ran behind the buildings and in the foreground just below the club's name. Think it would add a 3D character to the logo. Can anyone please do this? something like:

http://members.rogers.com/pro5navy/logo.jpg

[ChopstickHero]

how about this logo for our shirts? my old sig.... hahaha....

http://members.rogers.com/mickle/mazdababe2.jpg

[Joe_Pro5]

i kinda have to agree with tax..... looks alright, but i would not want to wear it. doesn't fit the club's &quot;image&quot;. should be something sleek, stylish, and cool. the building &quot;protege&quot; graphic is too complicated and sorta looks like something you'd find at a gift shop.

just my opinion http://msg.toprotege.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

[lizard]

In my opinion our tshirt logo or print should have some part of the car on/in it. The front looks wicked and gets instant recognition.

I thought of spelling something in the license plate but that may be too cheesy.

When I visited Wonderland right next to the mountain was a stand that would spray paint anything you wanted on a Tshirt. They were very exotic (california style) prints. If someone has the talent or will be going to wonderland its definately worth a shot. We could then duplicate them to create cool colour prints.
I am willing to pay up to $20 bucks for decent gear. I will also be making a cap with a logo (not sure what)
Someone asked where you can get a logo done on a cap and I am pretty sure that in Square one there is a stand where you give them a graphic file and they put it on a cap.

Please make this really really nice. i know that people who own VW (not clubbers but regulare buyers) often have some VW gear.
Lets make it real nice.
Also maybe regular t-shirt are not the way to go. How about tank tops (woo hooo for the ladies) and sleveless shirts for the guys....

Lizard is waiting to give his lick of approval on upcoming gear.
L:&gt;~
PS Not to sound like whiner I will work on a graphic myself, but someone please look into the wonderland booth. THX

[KeeWee]

I totally go for tank tops, but not that strappy kind (sorry dave). I actually prefer the muscle style tank tops...and maybe if we can get them a bit shorter in length (no, dave, not bra style) that would be awesome....at Darknights, PAS had those nice white tanks with the pink capped sleeves on them..i was able to swipe one off their table...

[MP5Navy]

Now that I've been looking at other car club logos I don't really like the one I posted. It's just to 2D. I'll have to think of something else.

Oh and Kee Wee I don't think you should wear a shirt at all.... How about a pair of well fitting pasties with fringes?
The tank tops are good ideas for the hunnies but I think a basic T-shirt is better than to torn off arm look (also gives room for some of the male club mates to mod their shirts if they want).

[midnightblue97lx]

I just gotta add my smart-assed comment in here.
How about some frilly lace bras for the ladies and beer stained, cigarette burned wife beaters for the guys??

[KeeWee]

Lace is itchy. I'm all for 100% cotton (10% spandex is ok, too).

I hope this t-shirt idea comes through soon! http://msg.toprotege.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif

[Fat Mike]

I dont know if this will help at all seeing how this t-shirt thread is breaking us apart..hehe but i have always followed the K.I.S.S method i think the more simple it is the better it will look plus these day simple looks more profesional and modern

Uuugghhhh! Bad... evil... bad... Mommie the man touched me in a bad place!

[Angel]

I'm not down with the logo - I agree that it needs to be sexier, sleeker - Not meaning to knock it or the work that went into it, but just my nickel.

And I'm with KeeWee - lace is too ichy, and when you wear a tight t over it, you get stupid lacy bumps and you look all lumpy. REALLY annoys me.

I'm down with the cotton and spandex (for working out.)

Anyways, jsut so I know in case I wanna play around... this is a one color logo right??

[SunBurst-P5]

I agree with KeeWee and Angel...lace is way too itchy... I still prefer cotton. I also agree that the logo should be more sleek and simple. http://msg.toprotege.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[MP5Navy]

Okay it has already been established that the logo I proposed was neither liked by the club members and even myself. Please stop insulting it - my ego can't take any more blows.... boo hoo.

BTW yes the Logo is to be one colour - maybe two but it will add in costs. Must also have the words &quot;Toronto Protege Club&quot;

I was the first one to be slaughtered in the T-shirt design someone else better step up so I can have my turn at beating them down! JK. Please don't get pussy and refrain from posting your designs - just post it!

[ChopstickHero]

i'm trying to design a logo... gimme a few days

[ALS-protege]

I like Chopsticks old Sig...Very sleek, and sexy...
But can't see the gals wearing it...
Just replace the Mazda with TOprotege...
and westside if your from the Westside...etc...

[Protege00]

Not sure if it's much help or not, but theres a shop at the 747 flea market that designs stickers/logo's/t-shirts/hats...blah blah blah...

Not too sure on the prices, but im sure if we are getting a load of em we could cut a deal. I've seen some of the work they've done, and its not too bad.

We could have like a pic of the protege cartoon style doing a burnout or something or go in there with a few ideas and ask them to incorportate our logo and name and shit and get them to try and design something for us....

Only BIG problem is, is that it is done by air brushing.....so it could get rather expensive...

just my thoughts on it.

[ChopstickHero]

bored... so here's my cheezy logo.

http://members.rogers.com/mickle/LOGO.jpg

[KurtMP3]

I dunno if thats too much detail for a logo...but its damn cool! I like it!

[MP5Navy]

Mike the logo looks nice. Don't worry about &quot;too much detail&quot; cause I'm sure the guy at the print shop will have a way of simplifiying the design.

The design of the cars should be more abstract but still rep the body lines of a Protege. I'd recommend this so when body changes take place in the next 3-4 years our T-shirts will not look out dated.

[Orange]

Mike, great pic! I wish I could draw that well ...

I must say that the logo looks like the new &quot;non zoom zoom&quot; protege advertising poster in reverse. (The poster shows the front of the protege &amp; back of the P5.) I'm not sure how it will look if it is simplified for printing ...

[CarDemon]

I'm not that fussy about the designs of both, but Chop's one really stirs my mojo! Plain colours on a a oversized white shirt I'll be down with it even a longsleeve shirt too. http://msg.toprotege.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif

[taxmasta]

now that i can live with ! http://msg.toprotege.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif http://msg.toprotege.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif

[MP5Navy]

Chops did you draw that yourself?
Do me a favour and swap the gun metal rims on the P5 to some Chrome dubs.
Put a dual DTM tipped muffler on the MP3.
Also add to the MP3 the body flare kit from WingWest.
Can you draw in a clear plexi hood on the P5 so I could see an AEM intake?

[CarDemon]

Whoooooooooooooa Davie!
While your at it, I only ask for a crown airfreshner to be shown on the dash.

[MP5Navy]

CarDemon. LOL That would be so funny!!! Maybe I will get one too(?) make it a WESTIDE thing... LOL! http://msg.toprotege.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[SunBurst-P5]

Hey guys...just make sure that the logo will fit on our tiny tees!!! http://msg.toprotege.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[KurtMP3]

Just make sure they fit on the tiny tee's but where the breast is so we can all stare at the logo all day long :&gt;

RIIIIIIGHT!!!! (Dr. Evil voice)

Nice sig Kurt!!! It is true though!!!! http://msg.toprotege.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

[ChopstickHero]

hey guys/gals,

i can redo the design if you all think there is too much detail. i particularly like the extra amount of detail, but i'm not sure about what the print shop people will say about it. the P5 is actually the one from the Autoexe website (notice the Autoexe kit on it... LOL ) and the sedan is actually from the Mazdaspeed 3 brochure i found online. i used photoshop, illustrator and flash to come up with the final design.

[7plymaple]

I would buy that T-shirt. Its cool!  http://msg.toprotege.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif

[KurtMP3]

Jackpot you found it!

[midnightblue97lx]

I think tax's design is pretty phat, but that hood scoop on the one on the right looks kinda ricey.

[lizard]

I love Chopstick's logo. I think it kicks ass and the detail is just right. I would suggest a different font for the words below the pic but other than that its wicked.

How about club boxer shorts (unisex) or maybe i should just produce my own lizard line of boxers ....hm....interesting.....

[MP5Navy]

I like Tax's. It's the one I've wanted all this time. Glad you finally found it!

Let's put them to the vote.

[Orange]

I love tax's design, the right amount of details for printing. I just wish it were my mp3 he was using as the model ... http://msg.toprotege.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

I can already see it on my blue t-shirt with white outline &amp; red fonts ... http://msg.toprotege.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif

updated t-shirt logo:

http://members.rogers.com/gilbertlaw/tshirtlogo.jpg

[KurtMP3]

I LIKE IT!!!!

[SunBurst-P5]

me likes it too! Very nice guys! http://msg.toprotege.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[CarDemon]

Dammit Y'all!
I'm still with Chop's cartoonish design with the P5 facing fwds and the back of the MP3. I love the shading and shadow effects portrayed.

I hope we have a vote on this, but if my favorite goes out, I still want a print of it. Perhaps I'll get one of each. http://msg.toprotege.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/blush.gif

[Joe_Pro5]

good work tax..... brings a tear to my eye... very nice http://msg.toprotege.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif

[KurtMP3]

We could always put one on the front of the shirt and the other on the back or somehow work them both in..one goes on the shirt the other goes on the cards, etc etc etc

[ChopstickHero]

either design is good
tax's friend's design may be simpler for a tshirt.
if that's the case, my design can be used to make flyers or something

[my_mp5]

Damn, they all look good. Good job. I wish I had some skills to design something for the club. I'm down with what ever yal decide. I just want one to represent the crew.

I was first enlightened when Seadooguy stepped up to the plate. Is your offer still on the table for the TPC. Or Maybe GHETTO CONCEPT PERFORMANCE TRENDS needs a loga printed.

I'm currnently designing a picture/logo; some broken down Ghetto appartment buildings with some thugs working or stripping a caddilac and putting parts on a P5. Anyone is welcome to envision my loga and give me ideas. I'll hook you up with a COLDRAM INTAKE ™.

[KDawgONE]

I like Tax's design. Its better with out the vents cause now the sedan DONT look like a Lancer...lol. Someone said to put one car on the front and the other and the back...that would get confusing cause it would look like the sedan had the ass end of a P5. I would like the 2 car design on the BACK of the shirt with a little design of some sort on the front in the MIDDLE OF THE CHEST (kinda small). Logos off-centered to the left on the front look like chessey 80's shirts. In the middle is a more modern look!

[mronions]

Is it too expensive or too much of a headache to do up TWO different shirts....... one P5 .... and one sedan version? They can both promote the group equally well.

It would be much less confusing too..... besides, as a P5 owner I don't really care to have a sedan on my shirt,...... I'm sure that some sedan/MP3/MazdaSpeed owners don't want a P5 on their shirt....

..... just my 2 cents
