Re: "Common Mistake" T-shirt
 

I would LOVE to orders those for our mentors, depending on cost! I like the top one best, but they are both really neat!

Re: "Common Mistake" T-shirt
 

I think the front to back nature of the message. Reading only the back could be misleading. I'd put the common mistake on the front and have the back read "I get it all the time."

Re: "Common Mistake" T-shirt
 

I like this idea (the white text pops a little more to me) and I'd totally get one - but remember to follow the FIRST Branding Standards if you plan on using the logo.

Edit: This would include having FIRST in the right font, and with the (R) - so please check carefully.

Re: "Common Mistake" T-shirt
 

I want one!

Re: "Common Mistake" T-shirt
 

Thanks for the feedback everyone!

Libby, I did this really late and didn't have a chance to get the proper font. I will be changing that ASAP. No worries :)

Bill, that's a really good point. I'll have to figure out how to fix that. I don't want to have too much text on the front. Does anyone have any ideas for that?

I was hoping to produce these in house to maximize profits and keep the cost low for teams, but I'm worried about the actual production. Online purchasing shouldn't be a problem but more making the shirts on demand. Does anyone have any experience with this?

I've been making t shirts for a long time but it's great to have one that so many people can relate with!

Re: "Common Mistake" T-shirt
 

Hello everyone,
So I did end up making the tshirts with the design I posted before. I handmade the screens and printed them all at my school but it was A LOT more work than I expected. They can be seen here worn by our mentors at our team party: and the back: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...type=1&theater

My question to all of you is: Who would actually be willing to buy these shirts for themselves/for their team's mentors?
I printed 3 extras (without the cape) that I am willing to sell. I will most likley post them on ebay since I only have a few and a lot of people seemed interested before. I have one women's small, one adult medium, and one adult large. I will post a link for these once I get them on ebay if anyone is interested.

I am considering contacting a print shop and getting some printed professionally if people are interested because we could really use a fundraiser like this right now, and they really are a nice gift for any FIRST mentor! My guess is they would probably be around $15-$20 depending on how much they cost to get printed and how many I think is reasonable to sell once I get responses. Let me know if you would be interested!

Thanks!
Anna

I would love to get our mentors one.

Re: "Common Mistake" T-shirt
 

Oh, everyone please post your estimated desired quantities also. Thanks!

Re: "Common Mistake" T-shirt
 

We're going to have 6-8 mentors this coming season, if you can get your fundraiser organized, I'll get them for everyone (including myself, of course) as a nice Christmas/kickoff present!

Re: "Common Mistake" T-shirt
 

I have definitely seen some super-human feats from more than a few FIRST mentors, this is awesome :D

Re: "Common Mistake" T-shirt
 

Pink team is interested - have you confirmed prices

Re: "Common Mistake" T-shirt
 

I'd be in for one, and I am putting this forward to the Clarkson FIRST Robotics living learning community (40 college FIRST mentors that live together and work together). I'm sure a lot of them would want one.

If I may suggest RushOrderTees.com as a printer? They're not as widely known as CustomInk and the like, but I've used them for a long time, and referred several teams to them, including 3 of my own. They're FANTASTIC. Tell Mike I sent you. :)

Re: "Common Mistake" T-shirt
 

Back in 2007 we made shirts with a similar quote. We saw it from a team at worlds the year before I believe.

I was a first year mentor at that time and it was the coolest thing to get one from the kids.

Definitely a cost effective way to thank sponsors and mentors for their hard work.

Re: "Common Mistake" T-shirt
 

I'd have to ask the funding, but I would buy a couple myself, and probably 8 if the team could fund.

Re: "Common Mistake" T-shirt
 

I would love to get one. If it is too much work why not simplify the design by eliminating the cape graphics and just stick to the text?
