Bimini 2014-June 22

[Tranio]

I deal with a lot of vendors as I ship for them. I could look into it and bring them to the captains meeting. Give me an idea of what you want.

@Julian, we need some shirts!

 

[BoaterGuy]

No prob @tim h... I was going to have some shirts made with nicknames for my crew. I think we were going to do something obnoxious with neon colors and such...

 

[Julian]

Would be easy for them to take the current shirts and modify them any way you want, or come up with something completely new! I made shirts through them for our Gaston Gathering a couple of years ago. They created a logo for the front, and on the back there we put a map of the lake with text. I can get a photo of that...turned out great.

This is exactly what BigFrog.com is all about....they'll design a shirt for you for free. And the more you buy the cheaper it gets.

I like this suggestion! But maybe a map of north and south Bimini on the back?

 

[Julian]

This shot has a photo of the logo we made (since that other site didn't have one)....yes....not much point in putting a map of Gaston on the back! I was actually having him stand there so I could look at the reference point that I'd marked on the map to see where we were in relation to the GPS map! LOL

 

[BoaterGuy]

Well I just priced out my neon shirts and we are talking 25-31 each (checked two different sites). Thats a lot of mula for 5 shirts.... I was going to buy them and surprise my crew... now I'm not sure.

 

[Julian]

What kind of shirts? T-Shirts or polos? Nate will set you up for the same price the JB Swag sells for.

 

[BoaterGuy]

That was for T-Shirts! What are the JB shirts going for?

I think they were more because they are neon colored.

I called my local screen printer and they said a TWO color design would be about 9 to 10 bucks each for 65 shirts, a little extra for XX sizes.
That was a 8 to 10 inch design on back with a 3 to 4 inch on the front.

I really like the Hanes cool dry tee shirts that I got with the Jetboaters.net logo, I also have some long sleeve shirts without logo's that I wear on the out in the sun. Through Julian's work with BigFrog the logo shirts were $15.50 with front and back logos and straight from the Hanes website, http://www.hanes.com/webapp/wcs/sto...vc=OnsiteSearch&searchTerm=cool+dry+tee+shirt, they are roughly $10 if you buy 2 or more. The Hanes site has more colors than what is offered with the Jetboaters logo, maybe we could order shirt ourselves and have them delivered to BigFrog for them to put the Jetboaters logo plus whatever else we decided.

Bigfrog uses Inkdye printing to do the logos (the lnk will last longer than the shirt!). The printing on light colored shirts is half the cost of printing to dark colored shirts (which is why I stuck with light colors for the SWAG). You can print anything you want (full color photos etc...multi-million colors). They also do Dye sublimation (but it is also more expensive) and can do screen printing - but most go with the inkdye as it looks awesome.

Here is the back of the Gaston shirt I did....(the A,B,C were the event locations)

 

[Andy S]

I would like to see the Jetboaters logo on the front and maybe just below the logo something like "Jetboaters Bimini Fling 2014". On the back could be one of the below maps of Bimini.

@andy07sx230ho that would be an awesome t shirt design. I was thinking of doing shirts or Tervis mugs for my crew but this could be cool for the entire flotilla!!!

I also thought about mugs for my crew and/or the flotilla. Discountmugs.com has decent prices on 24 oz tumblers with lids. Assuming a 2 color logo and ordering 62 which is the current head count, the price works out to be about $7 per tumbler.

@waterboy if we do shirts do you have a preference on which map you would like, items can be added or removed from the map design.

 

[tim h]

I like the second one !
and YES it would be really cool to have a cup/cover and a t-shirt !

http://24hourwristbands.com/shop/drinkware/spirit-tumbler-16-oz this is where I bought the coozies FWIW.....i probably have some discount for the next order email

 

[waterboy]

on the map, I like the map on the right. Good visual and enough contrast for a tshirt. Ditch the world map part though...

 

[waterboy]

I hate to say it but I have become a cup snob, after getting a few Tervis mugs... They hold up well, keep drinks cold and have a lifetime warranty. Pretty pricey though. We have several of those plastic ones as you show in the link and they do not hold up at all. I will pass on the mugs most likely.
