POLL: FIRST related clothing...
 

Hey!,
Do you guys think that you'd be interested in purchasing Robotics related clothing such as the shirt pictured below? Also, how much would you be willing to pay for a product like this one?

The reason I ask is because I'm wondering if it would be worth it to make some available to the pubic, and get a rough estimate of how many I would need to produce for starters.

Any comments are more than welcome.

Re: POLL: FIRST related clothing...
 

yeah if i saw that shirt id buy it. But thats just me

Re: POLL: FIRST related clothing...
 

I'd buy it - but preferably in black - im not a white-wearing person

Re: POLL: FIRST related clothing...
 

I could see my self buying and wearing that sometimes.

Re: POLL: FIRST related clothing...
 

I'd probably buy one if you had them at my regional. Another color other than white would be cooler though.

Re: POLL: FIRST related clothing...
 

Yeah get some different colors and it would be perfect. I would deffinately buy one if i saw it at a regional or nationals

Re: POLL: FIRST related clothing...
 

How would that be for a black one?

I don't know about the downfalls of light die on dark clothing, or if ordering shirts of different colors would up the cost a bit, as I haven't gotten to talk to a screen printer about all the options yet.

Would you rather have a white shirt, or a black shirt? I guess an orange shirt would work, too...

The reason I ask is because on an orange, black, or white shirt, it is a two-color image, which costs less to screen print, and therefore passes the savings back on to you. I really don't know, but a tri-colored shirt may raise the shirt cost to as much as 20$. (according to my graphics teacher)

black

or orange like one of those big orange cones that line repair trucks use :)

Re: POLL: FIRST related clothing...
 

hmmm black or orange ay? Hmmm..... I would wear either. Im not very picky. But I dont know about other people

Re: POLL: FIRST related clothing...
 

ooo i would get one if you made it into a sweatshirt. (a dinghy white.)

hmm maybe a red or a brown tshirt. the whites tend to get ruined when working on robot :yikes:

Why not use cafepress.com. That way, people can order them in any size and color they carry, and you don't have to worry about keeping track of all that stuff.

You can't sell at regionals unless they changed the rules this year. It's in the manual somewhere (and I'm too tired to look it up). There have been similar threads like this on CD - I think you can take advance orders through PayPal or something and deliver at the regionals or mail them.
OK, that wasn't very GP of me. It's in section 3.12 and 3.14 - Do not sell any products. This includes food, hats, shirts, or any promotional products.

Re: POLL: FIRST related clothing...
 

Yup, it's in there - can't sell.

If two NEM's remember it, do you think they'll believe us without a direct quote?

Re: POLL: FIRST related clothing...
 

YAY!, You can now get these shirts (and a few more) at

http://www.cafepress.com/iwantashirt#apparel

A little bit pricier for the dark options, but not too bad.
Feel free to PM me with any customizations that you want...

Depending on a few things, these might switch vendors soon... Just letting y'all know.

Hm... interesting. I still have my "I like robots" t-shirt from 269 a couple of years back. I wear it at least once a week.
