Since I'm going to have some time on my hands for the next month or so I am looking into the costs of having T-shirts made up with the CT logo at the top of the page made.
So, I'm wondering if there would be interest in something like this from members? Not sure if it's financially viable and I know the bottom line is what it would cost to you the end user. If there was any profit made it would go back to the site or making new shirts, not looking to make any cash off of this. Thoughts from the gallery?
I am definitely in for a Canoe Tripping tee shirt.
I still have a tee shirt from the 1980s rec.boats.paddle days. Two different ones actually. And an NPMB shirt. And a collection of local canoe club and Duckhead tee shirts. The better ones have held up well, material and sewing quality matters, even with a plain cotton tee shirt.
I also have many, too many, embroidered canoe related hats, but those are much more a personal preference fit than a simple tee shirt. Some I never wear, and they are pristine. Some, like the LillyDipper Racing Team hat, are so begrimed and sweat stained as to not be fit for public display.
For tee shirt graphics I like discreet stuff, maybe just the familiar single color solo paddler, presumably that is Robin, at the top of the message board page, set in an ovalized circle, with CanoeTripping.Net curved around the oval.
A simple one color single imprint on the left breast or etc is good by me.
It has been a long time since I had stuff silk screened, but a twenty dollar CanoeTripping tee shirt, or whatever it takes to at least double your money for continuing CT funding, would be worth it to me.
Whatever you have made it will be, or at least was, less expensive if the same company uses the same logo on any future order.
Put me down for two.
