MASC T-SHIRT DISCUSSIONs

[CRW Reef]

I don't have any corals at the moment, but I would still like to help. My company always orders stickers to help promote our brands, so I was wondering if I could get custom die-cut stickers of the MASC logo made up for the frag swap? If this is frowned upon, already been done, etc no problem.

Pending cost I think this would be cool to have. Please pm myself or one of the other board members some details and we can discuss further. Thank you for the cool thought!!




Ok everyone we have created a new thread to discuss tshirts and other fun things we could create using the masc logo.

+1 to stickers of the logo. we have a pretty darn cool logo.

Another suggestion would be doing t-shirts with the masc logo on the front with a funny reefing saying on the back to sell at meetings.

Ex: Reefkeeping: The only hobby where its ok to glue animals to rocks.

Rofl @ Seth...
And I think car stickers of the logo and stuff like that would be pretty cool. I've showed the logo to a few people not into reefing and they even like the logo not knowing its a mandarin!! LoL.

+1 for shirts and stickers!

yeah, the Tshirt idea has come up before. I'd love to get one. Especially if it was vintage...

 

[Nmertz1]

I can also do the t-shirts depending on how many people would want to buy them.

 

[Haulin Oates]

I'm in for a sticker and/or tshirt!

 

[Nmertz1]

Shirts would be $20-25 depending on how elaborate everyone wants them to be. Would you guys be willing to pay that?

 

[FinsUp]

is that the cost of getting the shirts made, or does that include a little money for the club?

 

[Nmertz1]

That is the cost of the shirts and it's probably too low. I would need to get a rough estimate of how many shirts people would be willing I buy. My cost on shirts and stickers would easily be over $1,500

 

[FinsUp]

ouch. that's pretty steep.
Coffee mugs? Travel mugs? Water bottles?

Apparently I'm thirsty. Maybe I oughta go get some water, and then think some more about fun logo items.

While do love the idea of MASC T-Shirts and the BOD is always talking about making some, we have a few issues and thoughts.

1. MASC does not want to buy a bunch of tshirts of various size and be stuck with several sizes that will not sell.
2. We have been working on getting some prices for tshirts, polos, hats, and hoodies and we just need to button it up
3. A group buy would be setup for the purchases that way everyone can get what they want and in sizes they need

We will continue to work on gathering pricing and get things going but in the mean time these are the prices we have gathered so far:

Tshirts -1 color front 4 color back @ 20 shirts $22.50

Polo Shirts - 1 color front @ 5 shirts $27.04

Hoodies - 1 color front 4 color back @ 20 shirts $28.50

Hats - flex fit hats @ 15 shirts $16.23

I'd pay $29 for a hoodie before I paid $23 for a tshirt. Would it save money if we did black & grey vs 4 color? I'm betting a lot of the cost is the 4 colors. And I love the rock n roll style graphics like that.

 

[CRW Reef]

4 colors is the MASC logo on the back and I think it equates to roughly $4 of the cost

Also these first initial goods include the screen setups for the t-shirts and hoodies but the polos and hats are embroidered so no setups on those. What this means is the costs would go down on all subsequent t-shirts after first order is filled.

Also the t-shirts are canvas shirts which are high quality shirts vs the 50/50 cotton blends that might be a tad cheaper.

 

[FinsUp]

Whoa, embroidered hats? Sign me up for one of those, as long as they're not trucker hats. LOL.

:silentbob:

AH, setup on screening explains the sorta high price. As does the better quality material.

:bowing:

 

[Smiley]

me wants a couple shirts, a hoodie for me kid, a couple bumper stickers......

 

[Dr.DiSilicate]

I'd be down for a couple things.

 

[jahmic]

Dang who's been reading my mind?

I'd be down for a hoodie for sure.

 

[sethsolomon]

I am sure we can get shirts cheaper than that. Let me do a bit of digging.

 

[sethsolomon]

Vistaprint you can do regular T-shirts for $10.99 each: Front printed with a logo back with text full color so selling the t-shirt for $20 and providing more club money for activities.

 

[xxHLTxx]

is the vistaprint shirts the 50/50 cotton blend that will shrink? because id rather pay 23 for a shirt that wont shrink (im 6'6... cant afford to wear something once and goodwill it cuz it wont fit after the wash) than $20 for a $10 shirt.

Id be down for a shirt or 2, hoodie for sure and if the bumper stickers/stickers r made id be down for a few of those
