ZHP Mafia beenies and t-shirts: Gauging Interest

[Marcus-SanDiego]

I am currently in discussions with someone regarding beenies and t-shirts.

The beenies would be black. The ZHP MAFIA would be white. Would anyone be interested in these? They'd be embroidered and be high quality. I'd be selling them for between $15-$18. I only have preliminary pricing at this point, which is why I cannot give you a firm price.

T-shirts would be in the $10-$12 range.

Let me know. I want to know how many I should order.

[Alphatek45]

I'd prolly take one of each.

I'm still waiting for "of inches bowl" gear tbh. Seriously.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

I think Dane should sell those! Haha.

[Alphatek45]

Would totally buy one.
Think it was Kayger that posted the perfect pic to go under the quote.
I still laugh every time I think about that thread. Fantastic stuff. Just classic.

[johnrando]

Interested in the beanie if that's still a topic.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Thanks, John. Definitely a topic.

"inches of bowl".....actually. I bet I could market the hell outta that.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

DW, definitely. Jump on that.

[Rayzah Blade]

definitely love a T!!!! what's this 'inches of bowl'?? (let the flaming commence)

[az3579]

I would buy two T-shirts; beenies not so much interested in.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Thanks, guys. Keep it coming.

There you go Alpha.

I'd be interested in a couple of shirts and a beenie.

[Alphatek45]

Lol. This needs to happen!

Ok fellas. This is going to happen. I will start a seperate thread.

My intention is to offer e46 wear, zhp wear, and zhp mafia wear.

Marcus and I are talking behind the scenes on the final list of items we will offer.

My thinking is this now...but has not been approved.

1. The E46 wear will consist of beamies, key chain lanyards, short sleeve and long sleeve shirts, hoodies.
2. I plan to offer the "you know you own and E46" shirt....but would also like to tailor it to "you know you own a zhp"....so...if someone wants to start working on a list....that would be great.
3. I would like to offer the zhp and zhp mafia wear in the beanie, and ss shirts. If demand is high for the items listed in 1, above, we can do the other stuff as well.

This can bring a lot of outside traffic into the site....and would ask every OG to help out in holding with what we envision on the site.

More to follow. Seperate thread will come with the products.....then we can refine what's offered...then we'll take orders.

DW out.

I still don't know what you're speaking of :shifty



So....Kevlar wasn't playin huh?


I sent him a pretty lengthy email last night, going over all that occurred in the years of my membership there, pretty much asking to let 'rayzah blade' re-enter the forums, because there really is no way to a. enforce a true ban, b. I'll ever try to part with my e46/NE friends on bf.c. We'll see what happens I spose.

[C Withers Media]

Just tell Kevlar to get off SB's teet and off of Habbie's nutz and he will let you back in no time. Ask me how I know.


As far as the clothing gang bang. I am in for 2 hoodies, and 4 tshirts.

hoodies-black 1x 3x and 1x M
Tshirts-black 3x medium and 1x 3xxx

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Duly noted, CW. Thanks, sir.

[C Withers Media]

I will also be peddling some C Withers Media shirts in the near future so dont all of you go spending all of your money.

Of course ZHPmafia will get a portion of the proceeds and the remaining profit will be given to a local charity that pays for travel for wounded warriors in the san diego area.


Shirts will read on the front.

It would be more advertisement than you would think. I have hits on my website from all over the world and I never know who is clicking to take a look. It only takes one client to make someone a millionaire and you never know who that person is.

I am also booking some destination shoots in 2011, including St. Louis, Seattle, Denver, and possibly Davenport, IA so far.

[DESANT]

I would buy a T-Shirts but I need to see them first, look, color, length of a sleeve and so on is very important for me.

I'd be glad to rock some ads for you as long as the shirt looks damned good and is something I can walk down the street with without offending anyone. lol

[danewilson77]

If I buy one.....do I have to roll my sleeves up like that...and expose the gunnage?

[C Withers Media]

LOL, if anything just send a guy with no legs home to see parents on Christmas.

[danewilson77]

hehe

What if there is no gunnage? :(
Then what do I do??? I don't want to let down the CW name... :eeps

[330iZHPftw]

in for a T-shirt only

[pyreguy]

I keep a beanie in my driver door pocket for the times I roll with the car opened up to keep my hair from flying in my eyes. Much better if it were a ZHP beanie.

[JohnnyGraphic]

Beenies? As in beenie-caps? If so, I think it would be great if it rolled out to be a ski mask. You know, ZHP mafia by day, then ZHP Mafioso by night? :)

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Haha. And I could throw in a crowbar and pistol with every purchase. :biggrin

[JohnnyGraphic]

Nah, no need. I'm with the ZHP Mafia-Ninja Squad.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Me too. :ninja

[SC4ME]

I like the idea of the T-shirt. Not a big hat person (they tend to make my head look even bigger than it is).

[HaloArchive]

Yep, Im in for a T-Shirt. Lets see some designs!

[billschusteriv]

In for almost all the swag. I'm throwing out the shirts I don't wear and could use some moar. I'd love a beeny but have like 15.

I'll look for the threads on clothing and swag. Designs pls!

I like the shirt casey! Let us know when you finalize!

[Marcus-SanDiego]

I'm told that my beenies are in. Waiting to see if I can pick them up tomorrow. Will report back.

[kayger12]

Good news. Love to get my hands on one of those while we still have a couple of months of cold left...

[Marcus-SanDiego]

I'm a little miffed that they actually made the beenies without running a mockup first. I wanted to see what they'd look like -- before they made them. I guess we'll see how they turned out.

[pyreguy]

Any word?

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Any word?

Didn't make it over there today. Too busy. Heading to meet BCS_ZHP right now for dinner.

[pyreguy]

That's cool boss

[DJ-Unix]

I am definitely in for a shirt!

[billschusteriv]

Anything more on the shirt design Marcus?

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Just been so busy. Have not got over to my shirt girl. I will be getting over there soon, though.

No problem boss. Just making sure I wasn't missing out - I tried keeping up at night on vacation, but still missed so much.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Nope. You haven't missed anything. Plus, you know that I won't let you miss anything.

here is one of our beenies hard at work.

I'm down for a beenie and a t-shirt. How about a pen stripped fedora? Or could I get the proper licensing or required to get one embroidered?

[Marcus-SanDiego]

This week I will be starting a new t-shirt thread. Also, I had a heck of a time getting rid of my last beenie, so I will wait until five of you guys want a beenie. Then I will order.

As for the fedora, you have permission to make a classy logo and put it on your fedora. I never have issues with using the ZHP Mafia logo for personal items.

[billschusteriv]

Sorry boss... that last beenie shoulda been gone sooner...

Looking forward to the t-shirt thread...

[L0veZHP]

I would buy one of each, and a sticker for my car! <3 ZHP MAFIA:mafia

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Haha. No worries. Just want to make sure that I don't over produce stuff.

It was nice seeing some ZHP Mafia beenies at the meet yesterday.

[Go Horns!]

I want a t-shirt

[kpro]

I want a t-shirt too :) Is there stickers available? I would rep a zhp mafia sticker as long as people don't mistake my crap box for a ZHP, I don't want to be a poser, lol.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Kristen, I have a ZHP Mafia sticker on my 335. I'm getting a ZHP Mafia license plate for my 335.

I don't think anyone will think you're posing.

Shoot Dane a note about stickers.

[Jean]

How about a colored tee shirt? I would like any other color than white.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Heya, Jean, we sold t-shirts (and sold out very quickly) about six weeks ago. We had them in gray and in black.

Here's the old thread: http://www.zhpmafia.com/forums/showthread.php?2607-T-shirt-Order-Thread-ZHP-Mafia-shirts

Jean, I hope you'll be a regular around here. That way you won't miss a beat around here. Stuff happens pretty quickly. In addition to being one of the friendliest forums on the Internet, we're also like a flash mob when it comes to our promotions. Here today and gone tomorrow.

[lilcdkey]

we should get a zhpmafia lanyard made. im down for beenies too.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Beenies came and went. Maybe next winter.

As for lanyards, not sure if I will ever make ZHP Mafia-branded lanyards.

[HokieZHP]

What about a zhpmafia keychain?

ZHP Mafia thongs? Nah. I'd be in for a long sleeve ZHP Mafia t-shirt and/or a hoodie. I would guess it would be the same design as before if we did it?

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Not sure, guys. As we get closer to fall, I am sure that I will have some things to discuss with you guys.

[billschusteriv]

Sweet Marcus.

Interest in the Mafia brand seems to be growing. Could be bigger than RocaWear.

Never even heard of rocawear. Thought it might have something to do with almonds. I was wrong. :biggrin

We just need a whole line of ZHPmafia clothing hahahaha

[Dave_B]

I really hate to bring this all the way back up top...

Yes, I searched and that's how I found this, and the Beenie FS, and even the Beenie DIY threads...

What about shirts? Anything ever come of those? No results on first page of search for "gear, swag, beenie and t-shirt" Sucks to be the new guy on the block, I missed out on the Beenies, though a Hoodie would be my FAVE!

[danewilson77]

Yeah....we got shirts a long time ago. Not sure if Boss has any left....but he might.

[cakM3]

I would love to get two XXL T's for this meet :thumbsup

[johnrando]

I have 1 old style tshirt, 2 new style ones, and a beanie. I'd be willing to part w/one of the new style ones, XL, probably worn 3 times. And yes, I'd be in for a hoodie.

[Ryans323i]

I'd be in for swag. I never got any, except some sweet earrings NC_ZHP (Heather) made us girls. However, I'd really like it to be girl fitment. I realize that would be maybe 5 orders, so maybe there's a way I could buy a one time use on the Mafia Logo and make my own swag?

I think the Boss is undertaking Death Valley, (see what I did there), so we might have to wait for a response.

[Dave_B]

My apologies, never found the shirts in my limited search. Anyone have a picture or link to that thread?

[Go Horns!]

I snagged my new style t-shirt and one of the arms is obliterated. :facepalm

I am still rocking my old style shirt. But I would be up for another run of shirts. Interested in the beenie as well.

[Go Horns!]

My apologies, never found the shirts in my limited search. Anyone have a picture or link to that thread?

this is the one that is now sleeveless:

[Dave_B]

I'm jealous!

If/When we get a chance and another round is done I'd be interested for sure.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Nothing in the works right now. The demand probably won't warrant a run, either. Price breaks don't really kick in until you order 50. Many of the members here already have shirts, so I don't see them doing a repurchase.

You might want to go into the secondary market and see if someone will sell theirs to you. Could be expensive, though, as the shirts are extremely rare now. :biggrin

[Dave_B]

How about the artwork? Is it licensed? Care if I make a few or have a few made?

I def. don't want to step on toes, especially being the new guy, but I'm a sucker for swag.

[psells_zhp]

I would take one of each

[echo46]

I'd be in

[MiniD]

I'd be in, too.

[danewilson77]

I say start up an new "interest" thread......have people sign up, to see if the Boss can justify the cost and leg work.

I'm not promising anything....but the Boss is a numbers guy. Give him some numbers.
