MASC T-SHIRT DISCUSSIONs

I have ordered some vistaprint tshirts in the past and I was very disappointed and unimpressed with the quality. Prints off-center on shirts, poor color, and overall just crappy for a paid product.
I would be up for a couple of shirts, hats, decals, mugs though...but not from them.
Has anyone ever used like cafepress or one of those other online printing companies where we could just order whatever we wanted with the logo on it? I never have so don't know much about them.

I would be in for a couple T-Shirts, a hoodie and some stickers for sure.
Stay away from VistaPrint, I too have ordered logo T-shirts and polos from them. The T shirts were horrible quality and the polos were not embroidered, it was an embroidered patch sewn on and as asoon as I washed the polos the fabris shrunk a bit, patch stayed the same size and curled up.
Your talking about a local company doing this? May I ask who? I might be able to play some cards and get it cheaper. I work with alot of local musicians and artists, many of which make their own shirts and own their own silk screening machines.

While I think Cafe Press is pricey they did some of my own artwork and did a great job with the printing. I think you should still make cafe press available and members could buy coffee cups, mouse pads and other items if availalble and the group would get a percentage of the sales. I don't think it costs anything to have their products with your logo.
I like the idea of keeping the money local. As for Vista Print, you can print on the back of the shirt. I had a couple made for my business. They are ok. They are cheap but you have to add an upload fee for your own image too not just the $10.99 or whatever Seth said they were. I think the front could say "Colorado Reefer" with maybe an image of a hairy green Millie. With logo on back.
Hey all,
I have run several different clothing companies in the past and I know how to get this done. I am going to start another clothing company this fall and all of my products will be "reef" themed. I will be targeting all of the products to all reef enthusiasts throughout the US not just colorado. That being said, I have a manufacturer who can produce incredible clothes that you will actually want to wear. Please dont use cafepress or vistaprint. Its a joke. Looks like the BOD has a contact in fredrick, use that! Local is always better I agree. But if you dont want to front the costs I will and put this special edition shirt on my website when it becomes available. I dont use cheap materials or screen printing so they will be pricier ($20-25) but it would be an awesome design. I will also be willing to donate 10-20% back to the club depending on how many are ordered. Just my take on it, and I am happy to help.
thanks,
Nick

My Wife works for Zephyr graphics, as long as we could meet a min order of 72 Units I could get really nice flexfit hats for a very reasonable price (edited to remove price). Zephyr makes most of the NHL and college hats you see.. Oh and the hats for the Colorado Eagles. here are some hats they made https://www.google.com/search?q=zep...kIq6ayQG0uoCgBw&ved=0CFkQsAQ&biw=1680&bih=924 I removed the price as I would like to see the club make some revenue off of club merch, BOD can PM me for actual numbers.
