Favorite quotes on CD gear!

[Astronouth7303]

Ok, if I (or someone else) were to make a shirt for the ChiefDelphi forums, what quote would you want on it? the random spotlights are a good place to start, but doesn't have to be. It can be anything, just has to be from ChiefDelphi. (Engineering Slogans is also a good place to look)

I'm looking for humorous things that show a bit of personallity or a memorable thread.

Here's my list so far:

We're making shirts?

Here's my list so far:

I sure hope that you wouldn't make these shirts or gear. #1. ChiefDelphi isn't your team and you shouldn't use their name without their permission. You may include a quote that would be bad against their name or image.

I say bad idea. To quote what Brandon said: "We're making shirts?"

[Eugenia Gabrielov]

I think depending on the occasion it may be appropriate. For example, I would purchase a webhug shirt cause that's just cool, but otherwise I don't think we just need a CD shirt. Chief Delphi the team has their own thing, as David said pretty accurately. Individual events, such as nationals also have their own shirts.

[Brandon Martus]

Would anybody buy shirts if they were available by the team?

[Aignam]

Maybe. Depends on price and style.

I would buy CD webhug shirts in a heartbeat..

Maybe next year in Atlanta you can have one version for the CD winners of online awards and another version for the "general public".

Yeah, I agree. Put some of those prize quotes on there too.

Would anybody buy JVN thongs at Nats if I had them printed up?

I'd be interested. I think you've stumbled upon a nice little fundraiser! It doesn't hurt to look into it. See what the shirts, cost of printing, and how many people really are interested to see if it's worth it or not. This might turn out to be a good fundraiser for your team. I don't know if your team budgets for Jelsoft but it might even be good for these forums.

P.S. If you're really serious in finding out if people here are interested you might want to move this thread or start a new one in the "General Forum". I know there's people on here that don't bother with the "Chit-Chat" section and will never see this thread.

[Billfred]

File me like most of the above gents (and maybe ladies--it's too early in the morning to distinguish genders)...if the price is right, I'd gladly add to my now-trimmed FIRST shirt collection. Something like ten to twelve bucks and shipping seems right.

(of course, I could see the options now...priority mail, parcel post, or we chuck it at you at a competition!)

No, CafePress.com lets you do that.

And (unfortunately for you) ChiefDelphi is the name of the forum, too. I think it'll say "ChiefDelphi.com" or "ChiefDelphi Forums", to be precise. Bradon, do you care exactly what it says?

[Joe Matt]

I can't wait to have my quote on a thong! Great graduation present! Great for the relatives! Good for the girlfriend....
