This is a thread for the T-Shirt designs as being organised by GhostMjr
design away !!
PEN
To be hounest, drop the Doris a PM amd also Slowhand and so.
Or an open contest!
I'm abnegating any responsibility for this - GM just asked me to open a thread
...... the ball's well and truly in his court :whistle:
PEN
any idea what sort of resolution this picture needs to be of if the aim is black/white/other/any colour t-shirts?
well printed stuff is normally 300 dpi
Some shirts have to be black/dark to use color... is that the case here?
Yeah and an image size would be good.
GhostMjr has decided that he's unable to organise the t-shirts so does anyone else fancy taking up the banner?
If not then the idea is getting scrapped.
I'm away on holiday from early September so really can't take this on.
any volunteers?

:tumbleweed:
No takers then ?

one quote: about £12.25 per t-shirt for a small run of 10 with full colour, or just under £10 if we did 20 of them, about £8 for forty. Alternatively about £9.50 per t-shirt for a small run of 10 and only one colour/greyscale
On that note the jessops/snapfish quote isn't bad at just over £13 per shirt including delivery...
dunno if that price is low enough or not? They do do polo shirts as well, similar price, probably add £1-£2
Quote1. Fruit of the Loom are the standard that we supply. If you look at
www.ralawise.com (http://www.ralawise.com) you can view the colour range. The t-shirts are
valueweight, and polos are 65/35.
2. Artwork is best in vector eps, photoshop, adobe illustrator 7, coreldraw
12 or a good quality jpeg (300dpi or more).
3. We can print the square background if you wish, but generally it is just
the image itself - not the block background.
If you were to have 10 t-shirts with a full colour print, the total cost
would be £122.21. This works out at £5.50 + vat per t-shirt, 3 screen
charges at £13.50 + Vat and delivery at £8.51 + vat. The screen charges are
only payable once, and do not apply to further orders with the same design.
valueweight? Mmm. :g:

Sorry about this guys. I couldn't carry on as the student loan company is sending my loan out late. However i got through to a really nice company and they sent me a free sample. It is of an excellent standard. It is made from moulded plastic and the t-shirt is a superb quality. I have posted the email i received from them below when i was researching who to go with. I just dropped them another email to find out how much they are each.
GM
QuoteDear Scott,

I'd buy that for a dollar! :biggrin: Marvelous!
I'd see that as a small front logo on a dark shirt, with a large LAN X backprint.
Nice all the same.

I prostrate myself before the master :worshippy:
is that the origianal resolution or is there a higher-res version? :)
The quotes I got were for up to around 300dpi prints, though I imagine you don't need it that fine for a shirt?
the site ghost pointed us towards will do "premium" polo shirts, printed on the front or back (printing both ramps up the price) for around £13 each (price can drop down depending how many colours/screens are required for the print. minimum order is 20, but a run of 25 would mean either cheaper prices or a better quality print?

This one on the front of the shirt somewhere (like the logo of a soccerclub) on a black polo, and the walking logo on the back?
And a text under the picture about LAN X and so?

The LAN X bit could go in the curved bar at the top.
I like this 18)
printing on the front or the back in full colour for a run of 25 (or more) shirts would come out at around £13 per shirt. Printing on both the front and back would make it more like £25
I like the one above, LAN X or just -=X=- or something on the gold bar at the top might work - esp if it looked sort of indented in it :)
something like so (hope you don't mind)

New reply:
QuoteHi Scott,
I can send you out a complimentary sample of a t-shirt with screen printing so that you can get an idea of the print quality. With regard to the cost of T-shirts if you were to place an order, this depends on the style of t-shirt you wish to go for and the design that is to go onto them. Please see below quote for the Valueweight T-shirt, this does not include printing as i will need to see your artwork before i can give you a full quote:
50 Valueweight T-shirts @ £2.05 = £102.50 ex VAT and del.
This item can be viewed on our website at the following link:

I hope this information is helpful. Please reply to this email with your artwork attached so i can put together a full quote for you.
Your sample is in today's post.

Are these going ahead?
Anyone ordered them?
If so how many?
Thanks

I sent them an email to find out about the embroidered polo shirts and if they're like the one in Slowhands post... what we need is a thread for "who will actually buy a shirt?" thread :) with options like
a)yes- polos, tshirts, both work for me
b)no-whatever design is chosen
c)yes but only if it's the embroidered polo shirt
d)yes but only if it's a screen printed tshirt (assuming people don't have any ojection to where on the t-shirt it's printed)
and a size request... S, M, L, XL, XXL, etc...
Nice one SM, thanks
Once we have their reply we'll try to get some firm prices and people's orders accordingly then I guess
Thanks

got a quote but have re-jigged the image and resnt it as the quote ended up being huge due to an excessive stitch count. I'm hoping to hear back later today, ...then I'm off to the US tomorrow until next Thursday. I'll post whatever stage I'm at before I go though?
fwiw here's the logo reduced to 16 colours (patterened dithering) and with the background turned to transparent. It's likely to be either 4 to 8cm square. 8cm is what they quoted first, but the image has changed size now ... we await their reply...
(http://eis.bris.ac.uk/%7Ebm8746/files/THINKINGOFU_320sq.gif)
Sweeeeeet! :flirty: :dribble:
b)I'll take a T-shirt or polo or whatever...
I'll take a couple as well if they are reasonably priced.
Quote from: delanvital;150473I'll take a couple as well if they are reasonably priced.
the bigger the overall order the lower the price of the tshirts. The last quote I got (for "heavyweight" polos) would have made it about £22 per shirt but the new quote should be lower, aiming for about £12-£15:flirty:
Sounds like this is finally pulling together... You going to be able to post an image of the final shirt soon?
This was the last quote, I am trying to get the price down to the same as the online price. The main reason for the larger than expected price was the design being too complex hence the simplified one...
QuoteI have just received your design back from our embroiderer and they have said that embroidery wont work with all the highlights but can do the design with 2 golds, white and black (with no double edge on the wings).
I am pleased to quote you the following:
25 Heavyweight Polo shirts @ £5.65 = £141.25
Embroidery Set-up @ 8cm wide, approx 22,000 stitches = £220.00
Embroidery Charge (25 items) @ £6.75 = £168.75
Total £530.00 ex VAT and del.
Terms and Conditions:
Individual poly-bagging is charged at £0.12 per item.
Delivery for quantities less than 100 items:
£10 ex VAT to a single UK mainland address.
Delivery for quantities greater than 100 items:
To be confirmed at time of ordering.
All prices quoted ex VAT in GBP.
Quotation is valid for 30 days.
Lead time is approx 10-15 working days.
Full payment required before customisation commences.
E. & O. E.
If you have any further questions, or would like to go ahead with this order, please do not hesitate to contact me.
still awaiting the new quote, hopefully i'll be able to get email while I'm away but just in case here are the current files for the logo: http://eis.bris.ac.uk/~bm8746/files/lan_logo.zip (http://eis.bris.ac.uk/%7Ebm8746/files/lan_logo.zip)

hopefully this'll be doable...but not quite sure about the "two golds black and white" thing :S
embroidery is troublesome, mainly due to the design being far too complex by the sound of it.
My guess is that with their simplified designs will come out a bit like:
(http://eis.bris.ac.uk/%7Ebm8746/files/4.gif) (http://eis.bris.ac.uk/%7Ebm8746/files/3.gif) (http://eis.bris.ac.uk/%7Ebm8746/files/2.gif)
This is taking longer and the embroidery option being more troublesome than I had anticipated. free time is kind of thin on the ground for me at the moment and I can't really be wasting time trying to properly edit (you know, without losing some of the detail that's disappeared by letting the gfx program guess) the logo down to a two-tone image, so if anyone else is able to take over this I can fwd the email discussion and image files. Please let me know if you can take the helm of this one. Cheers.
QuoteHi Ben,
Our embroiderer has taken a look at the new design and feels, with regard to stitch count, that it is no different to the original as it was already quoted to a simplified degree. They have said however, that if it were to be simplified more ie just one gold with a black running line, the stitch count would come down to approx 14,000 sts but it would look rather flat compared to the art work. I have quoted you on this option for your reference:
25 Heavyweight Polo shirts @ £5.65 = £141.25
Embroidery Set-up @ 8cm wide, approx 14,000 stitches = £140.00
Embroidery Charge (25 items) @ £4.75 = £118.75
Total £400.00 ex VAT and del.
Terms and Conditions as before.
If you have any further questions, or would like to go ahead with this order, please do not hesitate to contact me.

£22 per shirt is for the version with "two gold shades, black and white" so that'd be the best of those bad pictures... I just reduced the colours to 4 using photoshop/gimp, maybe they'll actively try to retain the text and stuff. fwiw I reckon
for embroidery we'd want a specifically designed for purpose, non-shaded low-colour design (for e.g. two different colours onto a black shirt or something) Screen printing is probably better for complex images then...in which case what do people think?
well, printing is good, the only disadvantage is that the print starts fading after a certain anmount of washing :P
I think no-one's come forward to pick up this banner from Monkey so has the idea been dropped ? (unless I missed something).
We've got just over one week to go so I kinda doubt this is going to happen
Can someone please update us ? (as we were thinking about having some as competition prizes and need to re-think otherwise).
Thanks
PEN (on behalf of the gaming committee).
last I got back from the company was that embroidery would not be cheap, and that the design would lose most of its colours (the expensive version was with "two golds, black, white") and there weren't enough people interested in it to make it worthwhile.
FYI, if you want a print tshirt you can get one done at Jessops for about £12.
