With over two pages of ideas I thought it was high time that a vote was taken. I've also included an option for not ready to vote yet should you disagree.
A lot of the ideas arent really that developed while others, like the crest, are pretty much ready to go so I suppose you're voting for the concept which could then go into final production.
I've linked to the topics where the ideas can be found below:

Its been really tough deciding. Looking back on all the ideas has really highlighted how many creative peeps post on here. Nice ones! :great:
-
Is this the official vote btw?
-
Can be. Seems like most people are ready to decide anyhow. Forgot to put a finishing date on so perhaps if this is to be the official one then Bubs can set a time by which all votes must be in.
-
Since procrastination is my middle name, this might as well be the official vote - thanks Will and Dave for kicking me up the booty.
-
Mine too! I should have been revising when I wrote it out.
-
can this poll be made to allow you to vote for more than one design????
(but obviously not for one repeatedly)
-
Don't be difficult, just pick your most favourite one :P
-
I clicked on the wrong one by mistake...
I have to say that I wouldn't be overly fond of wearing the crest, in that case I might as well just give a donation instead.
-
Wouldn't buy the crest. Its got to be "anyone for danny's" even if it is an in-joke.
Quite like lovejoy and dave's ideas mentioned on other thread
-
i wouldn't buy the crest. i would buy two or three of anyone for danny's.
-
It seems that competition between the crest and Dannys is pretty strong even though Crest has twice the votes. Are the Dannys lovers simply the more vocal UKB "elite" though? I wouldnt really fancy the Danny's one as I dont feel in on the joke as it was only known about by a handful of UKBers. I should probably also have said that you should only vote if you intend to buy one of the tees.
-
I wouldn't buy the crest. No offence meant to richdraws, but the design reminds me of that Rox (was it?) clothing (mountain biking stuff) from the late 90s that I wasn't too enamoured with then. I do however admire your skills rich and am sure you could produce limitless impressive drawings in many different styles.
-

Me too
-
Again, I really dont like the crest one (no offence etc) and would prefer one of the others. I'm sure several Danny's would be heading my way. Its still a cool design for those that dont get it. How inconvenient/silly would it be to have 2 different t-shirt designs?
-
Since the T-shirt is planned (at least partly) as a fund raising event, I propose a commercially secure (low financial risk to UKB/Bubba) way of collecting votes - something like this...
Any one wishing to buy a T-shirt (or several) should send in the estimated amount of cash (for the purposes of this demonstration lets say £10 per T) to Bubba. For each T shirt that the person pays for - the person gets 1 vote for what the design should be. So, for example, all those who want several of the "Danny's" design can send in X times £10 and get X number of votes for their preferred design and UKB already has the money and so doesn't have to worry about how many orders might be coming.
All those people who sent in cash and didn't vote for the most popular design can have a choice of getting their money back or getting a T-shirt with the "winning" design. Perhaps, if enough orders/cash were recieved, then a second design could be printed (too complicated?)
Does this make sense?
-
A logistical nightmare perhaps?
-
A logistical nightmare perhaps?
With all the computer skills and all round brain power floating around on this site, the logistics should be easy to handle.
-
Just go for two shirt designs that cover the most votes and please as many (trans. rape as many wallets) as possible.
Bubba will need to get real on the price too (especially if there is more than one colour to deal w/ or multiple illustrations in different areas on the shirt) You should be looking to pay at least 16 to 18 pounds for a pukka limited edition t-shirt. Check online for comparisons. Last T-shirt I bought was from a website and cost me 22.50 inc. postage. The design was simple (something small on the back too).

-
An option is to use a company like http://www.spreadshirt.net
You can design as my t-shirts as you like and people order direct through their site so you don't have to hold any stock. All Bubba needs to do is set a commision on each t-shirt for the kitty. I think that a single coloured t-shirt costs about £8/9.
We could also have hoodies, mugs and http://www.spreadshirt.net/en/GB/T-Shirt/Overview-2107/categoryId/8/productTypeId/115/type/detail/ (http://www.spreadshirt.net/en/GB/T-Shirt/Overview-2107/categoryId/8/productTypeId/115/type/detail/)
-
I've used Spreadshirt before and they are pretty good, easy to use and very fast delivery, it also means people can chose what they want style and size wise (t-shirts/vest/hoodies)
I have no clue what this Dannys thing is about and wouldn't buy one cause I think it's ugly as sin, regardless of whether I get the in joke or not.
I don't understand how one design can be so far out in front (crest) yet everyone posting is claiming to prefer another? Is it really just that some posters on here are a lot more vocal and the silent majority don't want to say they don't agree? :-\
-
Why isn't there a specific t-shirt for women either? That way you could make even more money!
-

You don't need to post a comment to place a vote.
Incidentally I am banned from more t-shirt purchases. The Mrs tells me I have 40 perfectly good ones in the cupboard . . .
:-[
-
My Mrs said the same thing................I mentioned her Imelda Marcos shoe collection to no avail
-

From both the regular female posters?
-
How about a Mugabe/Tsvangirai style run off for the two top contenders? My current vote isn't getting a look in...
Thing is, our top two seem to be polarising opinion a bit - people love or hate 'em. But really, is this such an issue? I own plenty of t-shirts, and Bubba/UKB would be getting more net if I just bunged him a tenner on paypal than bought a shirt (which I'll do if I don't fancy the chosen design).

My vote isn't getting a look in either. And the two front runners seem to be marmite. Don't think the planet needs another unworn t shirt on my shelf, will probaby donate the cash,
-
Theres 44 people at present voting for the Crest, but on my thread only 36 people said they would actually fork out money for any of the designs. I think this illustrates 2 things. Firstly, people may be voting which one they like best but when it comes to the crunch don't want to pay for one, and secondly not everyone, even out of the regular users, read all these threads, thus any vote at the moment probably isn't fully representative. I must admit even I stopped reading the t-shirt threads for weeks after the ceaseless tide of shit designs showed now sign of abating.
I think if you're going to have a proper voting thread, you need to narrow down the choice a bit more, and put it in a thread which most people actually read, like bouldering or news.
-
Think you may have your people and percentages mixed up (22 votes, 44%). The point about numbers stands though - 50 votes in this thread and only 36 willing to buy one...
-
I'll buy one but as has been said the aim is for Bubba to get some cash.
I'd be happy with a car sticker...
-
I'd be happy with a car sticker...
now that's a good idea.......
pretty much any of Rich's sketches will do...
-
I'd be happy with a car sticker...
Me too!
-
No fuckin' way Jose!
I want a UKB scent and full range of bathroom accessories!
CONSUME!!
CONSUME!!
-
How about skin transfers like the over-caffeinated sugary drink company climbers wear? Houdini could even wear one whilst out running in his silken thong.
-
I'd buy a shirt, just for adding to funds.
Here's a pic of hOUD in his jogging get up. If Bubbs could release a branded UKB version he'd rake it in.

Thongs? Ridiculous!
I now run naked: even shave my whole body for lightness, aerodynamic advantage and increased greased-whippetage.
-
Well I don't know about you, but I wouldn't be seen dead in Font' w/ out ma pimp stick:
(http://assets.spirithalloween.com/images/spirit/products/processed/00702308.zoom.a.jpg)
I tape my lapis to this. I think there's a market for a UKB version, yes?
-
I don't understand how one design can be so far out in front (crest) yet everyone posting is claiming to prefer another?
Would they be posting if their favoured design was winning?
-
where's the [wad] [punter] logo on the back with a little UKB on the front gone?
"i want dat one"
-

I doubt there are enough of us to warrant it. Anyway, I intend to wear mine belted as a mini-dress so man sized will be fine for that ;)
-

"i want dat one"
So do I. I was trying to work out which one it was from that list.
-
We need vests, not just t-shirts.
I would definately buy anyone for danny's, or maybe half a dozen for garage issue, you would probably only want one of these if you understand it tho.
Failing that I would probably go for something like daves suggestion "if you can read this your spotting too closely".
another suggestion maybe just to have ukbouldering.com in an approved font accross either the front or back with UKB on the opposite side
or
how about that picture of bubba's head when he's in hospital looking mightly stoned and UKB:chilled out bouldering?
-
we don't need vests.they may be trendy on your side of the pennines but its skins or shirts on this side.
-
we don't need vests.they may be trendy on your side of the pennines...
i can assure you they're trendy neither side.
-
you obviously haven't seen my new white, grey, black and pink striped one. Its the bomb.
Not only do you look good but its gets you psyched and makes you climb harder.
Word
-
I stand corrected.

I stand corrected.
Said the man in orthotic shoes!
Ba da boom, mo fo.
Sorry.

So do I. I was trying to work out which one it was from that list.
Some of the older designs didnt make it on. I recall the "it's da illest" UKBee being quite good too.
-
Not everyone is going to get the one they want so i reckon get some crest/danny's and maybe spotter (coz i like it) printed up and at least some people will get one.
logos big or small, front or back?

i still want *DAT* one, just coz it's old doesnt mean it shouldnt be part of the vote, ??

Well you shuld have resurrected it when you had the chance. No point in going all Mugabe on us and demanding a recount. Pregnant chads are disallowed, them's the rules (apart from in Florida).
-
hang on, when did I have the chance exactly? i saw this thread, and replied relatively promptly.
aint no Mugabe here, I can assure you.....

Question?
-
Yeah, question...
how come all the designs didnt get into the list at the top of this page then :shrug:
by inference i thought they'd all get displayed in the list... hence my question on where the design of my desires was..
-
Because they predate the creation of the T shirt section of the board. By about a year or more.
-
Humpf....
-
danny's cos it makes me ;D
are these gonna be dyed or transferred?
if dyed: 1 large olive green small logo
if transferred: 1 large acid pink small logo
unless there are other options..
-
i agree. i have no idea what it's all about, and that's why i rather like it. enigmatic, innit...
i would buy that, but not sure about the others. not that they're not any good, just that they're not my kind of thing.
-
dannys. medium. green is good, or black. logo white maybe? on the front for sure.
-
. . . 1 large acid pink small logo . . .
Suits you, Madam. 8)
-
What about one of rich's designs on the back and a ukb on the chest pocket area? Either way nice one everyone on getting nearer to producing something, will have one of what gets finalised, can't be long now;)
-
i think id much prefer something like the simple and not subtle design. just advertises the site and i like bold lettering on plaine T-shirts i guess.
dont really like the crest or anyone for danny's!
-
Aye, maybe a simple strapline would be good too.
Sorry still not done, just had a week off in Wales and am now back on nights so been sleeping all day!
-
Are any T-shirts on the horizon yet Bubba?
-
Um yeah, i'm setting up the shop (http://ukbouldering.com/shop) but it's taking me ages due to work/hols/being in a permanently jet-lagged state from nights/being a lazy cunt.
I really just need to set up the paypal stuff now and make some images that are good enough quality to print the actual shirts from.
-
Ooh, we have a shop!! :bounce:
-
Cool, looks good, can't wait for it to be completed. :bow:
-
Ooh, we have a shop!! :bounce:
Cool, it sells testitemdonotuses for 50p.
-
Put me down for five of them!
-
50p, thats nothing, and whats five times nothing, still nothing!
