LOL Donkaments shirts for charity?

[_Tank_]

Yeah i can fix that. Im just throwin it out there

[EvanJC]

i like that one. i'd like grey shirt w/black type and dark blue w/grey or white type

All right, BBV. I assume that _Tank_ has been using Custom Ink to upload pictures. I checked their prices, and if we order in bulk we can get shirts between $6-10 wholesale (depending on how big the order is, shirts used, one sided/two sided). Unfortunately, this means we need to limit things down to one color combination as I don't think we'll have enough interest to warrant two shirts.

So, we need to decide on some things before we choose colors.

1. Do we want to use an 'affordable' T-shirt company like Hanes, Champion, Gildan or do we want to use something like American Apparel? The first three will run around $6 a shirt for orders around 100. AA will run around $8.

2. Do we want two sided? Personally, I like just one side. Two sided will up the price of each shirt ~$1.

3. How much is an appropriate mark up? If we get shirts for $7, I think we can charge ~$15 (including shipping). Shipping is free from customink.com, but I will be shipping these out when they get to my house. So that leaves something like $6-7 dollars/shirt for Children's Inc., although I haven't checked how much shipping a shirt costs these days.

Poll time.

I like the black on red and the BBV signs on back, not so much a fan of the "holla" or the childrens-inc link. I think setting up some kind of website where users could specify their own shirt (i.e. radio buttons for colors/image on front/image on back/whatever) would be really nifty if you're down to do more customization for what each BBVer wants and not just mass producing a bunch of the same style.

LOL, when did I get a custom title???

I would be way into that kind of site, but does one exist? Cause the whole point is to raise more money for C, Inc. Ordering a single shirt is going to run $25-30 on its own.

I think you need to have like 5 or six different types or shirts with the different combos, and then take a vote.

Also, I really think a pic of Barry laughing would be much better.

Assuming you're down with customizing individual shirts (I don't know what process you're using for ordering and whether that's feasible) it wouldn't be hard to set up a website ez 4 free where users can just fill out a few options and add in their FTP/Stars/whatever nick at the end so that you can cross-reference their order with payment on a poker site.

definitely in and i also think black on red is easily the best color combo. original picture/LOL Donkaments on the front is good. for the back, i would propose the "BBV" sign language (but no actual letters) and a childrens inc. link really seems necessary and i'm sure barry would also approve a lot more.

Yeah I was using customink. The most recent one i posted was an American Apparel jersey tee and after all the customization it came out to around 15 a shirt. The ballas care more about quality than price.

Custom ink has a minimum order of 6 shirts so it'd be really difficult to customize for individual posters.

I think best bet is to agree on a design, come up with a number that includes the shirt, shipping, and the remainder a donation. Maybe $30 a shirt with prolly around 10 bucks a shirt going to children inc.
