Its a shame you can't have GIF's on t-shirts, bonjoys si-o would of been dynamite

Might be a tad expensive at the moment, but give it a few years and the second round of UKB shirts could get the desired effet with this....

I was getting my car MOT'ed today, and saw this:



It looks as though Bubba has already started UKB merchandise, didn't expect it to be car batteries though.

I quite like the slogan though.

count me out of the wad/punter and any other designs. people seem to get fixated on these designs which bring a wry smile for a couple of seconds, rest assured anyone wearing a wad/punter top at the crag is going to look a cunt. i will gladly get a couple of little ukb letters if these come out. same goes for hoody as t-shirt.
I am used to looking a cunt at the crag and elsewhere, so would buy a design that brought a wry smile for as much as a couple of seconds. However, I realise that some people have different values; thus, I would also buy products with subtle/small logo/letters if that would mean that the UKB fundraiser would be more successful.

good works bubba...


dense, your intolerance knows no bounds.... if the print runs are small and change frequently with a bit of luck you'll demeen yourself to wear a UKB ratified piece of clothing by 2010, perhaps...  ;)

F**k 'clean lines' man, if I wanted clean lines I'd have drawn a line! As it was I wanted a sketch of a bad/angry fox chasing a thawed out chicken, which is what I do got.

Eddies, your grasp of the use of apostrophes is amazing.

quite like the slogan though.

More power. More choice.

That's a fucking great slogan.

Indeed. Safe to say it never made it to print?

After a week in Devon , not bouldering/climbing/training, I've come to the conclusion we've missed an opportunity.  We need to go for a different design.  We need something simple.  Something grumpyWE NEED DENSE

The "boulderers do it" text is bad imho....any clever slogan like that is a bit naff really.

Jeez, just tryin' to raise a smile and suddenly everyone is a critic.   :lol:

I think there's two ways to go.  "In crowd"- ie something that is only recognisable to people in the know, along the [wad][punter] lines but decent.
Otherwise just go for a fairly standard shirt, with minimal text and no picture.  A blank front would be fine as it always faces the rock anyway.  Something subtle on the back, just UKB at the bottom or sommat.   :-\  Get something neat and I'll be in too.

Spot on.
Bit of research combined with Bubba's economic aspirations could decide which is best to go for.
Could a small, subtle thing that can be seen in bouldering photos satisfy in-crowd (satisfaction in seeing it on pics posted/published) and be acceptable to recreational UKB users?
