The final images for the spotter/crest tees are with the printer - they are doing the proofs this coming week so i'm going to get a couple of test ones done then we're ready to rock.

I know quite a few people like the "anyone for danny's" tee but i've had problems getting the tiny initial image into a printable form. Might be able to sort this out later.

Don't order in the shop yet as I need to sort out postage and other minor bits first.

They will be as shown in the shop: http://ukbouldering.com/shop/category.php?id_category=8

Logo printed on rear of shirt, plain front - 3 colours for "crest", 4 colours for "spotter".

Mens will printed on the thickest/best quality available blanks, unfortunately womens can only be printed on standard.

Might do hoodies if there is any demand.

Just need to set up postage costs and stuff now :)

Well this is quite interesting.

I've just received the proofs from the printers. There has been some crossed lines and they've confused the two designs into one....

But!

They actually look quite good - what do people think? I think they've dont it this way as the "crest" image was difficult to blow up as big as the "spotter" one. In some ways this might be the best solution and i'm assuming from this that the original large "crest" image on the back isn't possible.

(see the attached pdfs)

Yup. So they took the "crest" literally.

 :agree: Looks very nice.

For variety though, would it be possible to get a higher resolution original of the crest from Richdraws so the option is still available to have t-shirts with just a preferred print on the back?

I don't think it is - I understand that Rich just knocked them up in his lunch hour and didn't do any really hi-res version so the ones I've got are the best ones.

I've converted them to vector files but I'm still not sure they are suitable.

But I'll double check with the printers.

Print em up. That's a nice compromise between my two favourite designs.

Its OK - I'd prefer the choice of the crest alone tho TBH,  if that's still cost effective for you Bubbs ?

I like it with both; but then they were my top two design picks.

Ok, printers have said that crest can't be done at big size. Perhaps one for the future if Rich ever comes back, not seen him here for a while.

So, will anyone buy one of these? I need to sell quite a few to break even. I'm having a hoodie myself :)

Count me in, not sure if I'll have a t-shirt or hoody (don't wear the ones I have very often, Paula sequesters them!) but will definitely have at least one maybe one of each if I'm feeling flush.

Cool, as long as a few people want them I'll sort out the shop for final this weekend - I guess no t-shirt will ever be perfect and appeal to everyone.

I'll add other designs in later if this one goes ok.

I am still demanding a (boy sized) hoodie, which obviously I will pay for  ;) 

They're not in the shop yet are they, or am I missing something, which is fairly likely  :-[

I'm going to have at least one t-shirt, and a hoodie if they're being printed

Hmmm not sure as I've not yet seen one in the cloth. They're based on Fruit of the Loom blanks which are used in many tees so I suspect they'll be fairly normal, whatever that means!
