Potential T-Shirt design

[yeszir]

Since it would be you guys who would get shirts, I figured I'd get some input here. This was just thrown together in 5 seconds as a preliminary design for the front of the shirt (either centered or above the pocket).

Also...any ideas for the back? Clever slogans/catchphrases anyone?

The font isnt definite, the logo isnt, nothing is. This is just a basic idea, again.

[Cityofchampions33]

I think it's okay, as of now it lacks any spark or color, maybe make the the font to that of the red sox, and make it red? but the design is not bad. Also maybe change the bubble the sox design is in to navy blue, or something. Also, maybe put the "since 2004" under it more, and not to the lower-right, and include it in the sox font. If I can make any designs I'll post it.

[RedSoxRooter]

I'd get rid of the bubble and the S and X and leave the socks. The bubble doesn't work as an O.

Or just have the bubble and Sox logo and Talksox.com in place of the "since 2004".

I wouldn't put "since 2004" on anything if you want any street cred.

A pic of Chewey on the back.

I just put that there as a kinda place filler. :dunno:

I'll mess around with this summore.

[element1151]

I can come up with a design also.

[RedSoxRooter]

I'd do something like this, yet less drunken and with a better font.

I thought our new slogan was "Red Sox Nation's Rouge State"

[yeszir]

I like that one.

[KeepTheFaith1229]

How about the normal logo so it's more like an "O"

[yeszir]

Another idea. Again, just ideas. Feel free to throw some more in the pot and create your own!

Front/Back. Maybe on a darkish blue shirt? The bubble would really stand out that way on the front.

[HeadOfSoxNation]

I remember when I graduated HS, our Senior TShirt had everyone's name in small letters on the back. That'd be freaking AWESOME if we could do that...have any members with over a certain amount of posts or something listed there. Log-In names, of course.

I actually thought the whole speech bubble thing looked really cool. What color are we thinking?

[yeszir]

The speech bubble reminds me of the sims. "Extraaaam et nam...."

And I'm afraid the member name thing is a bit too exclusive and tough to do. Maybe some other time we could do personalized shirts or something, but we'll see.

[Manny Goes Boom]

This should be our shirt...

This is my favorite idea thus far...

I think Navy Blue would be awesome for the shirt color...and that speech bubble logo centered in the front, and the www.talksox.com on the back...where the last name would go on a jersey.

Computer graphics aren't my thing...but I'll see what I can dream up slogan-wise.


I just realized that the graphics don't post when I quote...but the idea I was talking about is the one posted in the post with the above text.

[HeadOfSoxNation]

I just had a random idea...

What about a Hall Of Fame forum? Like a list that's JUST for the comments that cause everyone to crack up in the game threads or whatever. We had a similar thing where I used to work...except it wasn't on the internet, it was on a peice of paper on the back of the bathroom door, and it wasn't cool shit we said, it was dumb shit the customers said...but it was sweet nonetheless.

[yeszir]

I'm tellin ya...

Probably more representative of the Talksox demographic:

Not only would the cost be prohibitive, the logistics would be horrendous. What we are trying to accomplish here is a Talksox logo. Once we have it designed, and have copy ready art work, we can produce it on just about anything. From t-shirts to coffee mugs. We also have to pick a type of shirt ( T short, baseball, pocket, etc. ) color, etc.

So concentrate on the logo / design.

I like this one a lot.

[schillingouttheks]

Yeah I agree. That's a pretty nice design Element.

[yeszir]

I'm thinking text bubble on the front, element's on the back on a dark navy blue regular t shirt. Yes?

[KeepTheFaith1229]

I think element's would look better on the front?

[Sox Fan on Cape]

You guys might try one of the custom T shirt programs on-line to see how it will look most have site software. One is : http://www.uberprints.com/?gclid=CIf07P2_7oUCFRrCPgodrlLTtg .

[HeadOfSoxNation]

I've always been a huge fan of baseball T's, but I don't know if you can get them in any color besides white. Usually the base is white and the sleeves are different colors. If we could find a way to get a navy blue baseball T, I think that'd be awesome. Otherwise, a regular navy blue shirt would be sweet.

On another note...I guess I'm kind of naive...is "Rouge State" a Star Wars reference or am I missing something?

You are correct about baseball t-shirts. I believe that the intention is for a a regular short sleeve T-shirt.

[yeszir]

I believe last year the shirts were baseball shirts. I just think regular ole t shirts have broader appeal and would be liked and worn by more people.

You're correct on both counts. I was just answering his post. Did you check out the site I posted ?

[yeszir]

Yes I did. When you talk about your "printer", are you referring to one of these online sites or is it an actual brick and mortar location you know of?

[HeadOfSoxNation]

I wonder how they'd work out cost-wise?

I'm real pumped about this idea. I can't wait to see the fruitation of it.

I wish I was more familiar with graphics, I'd love to draw something up.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

Yes I did. When you talk about your "printer", are you referring to one of these online sites or is it an actual brick and mortar location you know of?
Local brick and mortar. Just thought you could use a little visual, I'd never order from an online printer.

Is this Red Sox nation's rogue state?


:lol: We should replace the part of the graphic banner that says "Red Sox Discussion Board" with this. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:


I do like Red Sox Nations Rouge State though, kinda catchy :lol:

Happened a while ago. :lol:

If you're reffering to the difference between the standard T vs. a baseball shirt, they're about the same. The actual cost of whatever we design is a combination of shirt selected and printing cost. The printing cost is dependent on a number of factors such as : number of colors, type of printing, and number ordered.

2 good ones

[yeszir]

To be honest, I preferred it without the Ortiz silhouette. It just seems like it doesn't fit.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

Agreed, it looks a little unbalanced. Yeszir, you might start to think about quantity of order and distibutuin of sizes. IM me if you got a a couple of min.

[element1151]

Alright, just throwing that out there.

[Coco's Disciples]

Wow, just looked at the petition to ban manny4prez, that is some classic stuff.

No offense meant. Your are one of the few that have contributed any designs. Your help is greatly appreciated.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

What exactly does this have to do with Talksox t-shirts ?

[Coco's Disciples]

Rogue State.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

Rogue State.
Okay, I just don't get it.

[CrespoBlows]

Do what you want. But it's not very mature to vent about a kid and not even let him defend himself. Banning someone is one thing, but talking crap about him after you block him out is something only a pussy would do. You probably need some Paxil if spelling and grammar mistakes irritate you. Maybe you should rag Millar when he does his weekly posts on mlb.com. I've been checking out this forum for a while and to tell you the truth there isn't much intelligent talk here. Mostly just rumor talk and venting about player inadequacies. Is this Red Sox nation's rogue state? By the way, the IP you blocked was my home router IP, which has 4 pc's on it, so you blocked me when I did nothing. The IP I'm using now is from work so if you block it you'll block a 5000 employee state agency's proxy server. Maybe some of you pricks work where I do...

[jsinger121]

Rogue State.

just stop

[CrespoBlows]

All of them have said rouge so far, but I really like this idea, and I'd definitely be down for one.

You should erase the bottom half of the socks to make it more even, and then maybe make the top purple. That would be sweet.

Well, that one's pretty intense.

[Cityofchampions33]

I like the idea of having the paps "is so fuking intense" on the back and having yeszir's latest version of w/e on the front, id buy it.

but if yeszir does decide to make it, I say everyone who contrbutes a good amount should get a shirt.

[Teddyballgame10]

Anyone who wants a shirt should jsut be able to buy them

[yeszir]

We're working out distribution methods. Don't you worry.

[Rdsxmbnt]

how bout the logo on the banner at the top of the site. We dont need the players but the logo is cool, blow it up, put it on a red shirt. and put papelbon is so fuking intense on the back to show we mean business.

I guess this warrants repeating again and again. T shirts are DESIGNED and are IN THE PROCESS OF BEING PRINTED RIGHT NOW. Make as many designs as you want, but it won't end up on the shirt. Sorry. :(

[Sox Fan on Cape]

In fairness, I'm not sure that it was ever officially stated that the official design had been selected. That being said, all discussion and especially design input has been truly appreciated. The more that these were received, the more the Talksox T-Shirt would be reflective of of our unique community. You may or not be aware, that developing our t-shirt has been going on now for almost a year ( probably longer, but that's how long I've been here ). The first shirt was produced as a quick and simple baseball jersey. some went to winners of the "Ticket Giveaways", some to "good posters", and the rest to respondents of "free t-shirts". But it was at that time that the wheels started turning. Yeszir and others starting working on and off to produce a t-shirt that would be unique to Talksox. Remember, we all have "lives" ( well most of us do ), which simply means we are here to have fun and share our passion for the Sox. It takes the time and effort of many to achieve this. So, to Yeszir and all that contributed to new Talksox T-Shirt, give yourself a pat on the back.

[Teddyballgame10]

OK whats the final deisighn?

[Sox Fan on Cape]

Basically :


411




talksox.com on the back and the bubble on the front. Printed on navy blue t-shirt.

[yeszir]

But add a white outline around the talksox.com, since the above design isn't quite the final.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

Picky, Picky, Picky ;)

412

[RedRuffing15]

Wow, thats really nice!!

[Cityofchampions33]

So how are youg uys going to distribute them? and how much are they gunna cost?

[Sox Fan on Cape]

So how are youg uys going to distribute them? and how much are they gunna cost?

By USPS Priority Mail. Price has yet to be determined.

[Cityofchampions33]

Well, Ill definately buy it, it looks solid

I might also buy it. Looks nice, good job!
