View Full Version : New shirt for 2021?

Last time we got new shirts, I organized it through 8380labs (BMW enthusiast owned business/euro car lover/ZHP owner himself) and I think they turned out pretty well.


Thoughts? anybody wanting some new shirts?


Per 8380labs, if you guys want to proceed I will start a preorder thread:

I'm open to doing another design for sure. I just went back through the email chain from the last time to refresh my memory on how we did things, and wanted to outline how'd I'd like to do it, so everyone's on the same page.

My design rate is $85/hr and the design will bill around 5hrs. My standard policy is a 50% deposit to get started, with the remaining balance due once the design's done. I will provide a concept, and once the design's done the shirts can be listed for sale - all that is to say I prefer not to go down the crowd-sourced design road. I've done that in a message board context in the past and it's a logistical and creative mess - too many cooks in the kitchen.

If you'd like to arrange printing on your end, I can send print files and you can handle things however you'd like. I'm also happy to provide a printing quote, produce the shirts and have them shipped wherever you'd like. The individual order logistics will need to be handled on your end, but there would also be some profit at the end of the process for you.

Let me know if that works, and I'll do some brainstorming on concepts and circle back to you by week's end.

Thanks,

-Ethan

I’m not an artistic person, the last shirt was fully designed by 8380. I had zero issues with it and liked the design. If anyone wants to throw some ideas out otherwise I’ll leave it up to him. He’s pretty good At what he does and his designs are pretty good

Contacted 8380labs, he’s more than willing to produce shirts again

This is a great idea. We didn't get shirts for some time.
Thank you Jacob for doing this.
I will get 2 pcs, if that will be happening.

Please see the first post regarding how 8380labs will work if we use them. No offense, but I won’t be eating those costs and will be absorbed into everyone’s order

If there are 4 other guys that are serious, I am willing to split cost with them for t-shirt design. AS for who prints it and where, I am open to that.

I personally prefer a soft and long lasting fabric and do not mind paying a premium for them. I just hate the shirts that last 2 months and then turn hard over time, which ends up being donated to Salvation Army.

I agree with the above. I also really prefer a heather grey or light color, black is not comfortable. I will pay a premium.

8380labs uses pretty quality shirts. I’m sure other guys can post up their accounts of how they like their shirts from the last order

I fall into the "I don't mind using an existing design" camp to save on cost. I'm all for quality shirts, just want to be mindful on price.

Is that an option or does it have to be a new design?

The previous design I think was a red white and blue theme, each car being a different color (coupe, sedan, vert).

Me personally, I’d like a new design just to have something fresh on a shirt. I can ask him if he’s got the old design but if a new design is preferred I can eat SOME of that cost since I’m organizing it not all of it.

I’m down for 2 shirts, one black and one gray, both in medium.

Is any apparel still available through the cafepress site? Was that the last shirt design offered?

That’s the design from 8380labs on the last round of shirts
