Ok folks, here's the final design and ordering info.

They are currently headed to the printer. pwrstrkdf250 is unfortunately not going to have time to go in on splitting them with me, so for now I'm going to do the initial release on my own via Paypal/USPS since I live in DC.

IF THERE IS SUFFICIENT DEMAND, i.e. everyone starts putting in orders fairly quickly, I will see what I can do about getting someone a box for distribution down there. Because I am doing a larger order, and going in by myself, this is a relatively substantial financial investment on my part. However I think enough people seem to be interested to cover this initial order.

Here is what they'll look like:



Red shirt/White screenprint. I've asked for Hanes or Fruit of the Loom tagless tees, so they will be of a high quality.

They will be available in S, M, L, XL, and XXL as long as they last or until I do another order.



The shirts will run $13 plus Shipping, which means, whatever it costs me to stick it in an envelope and mail to you, I'm not interested in effing you guys on postage. I just want everyone to get a shirt. If you order more than one, I will ship them all in one package so you save on shipping.


Orders and payments can be made via paypal email payments only. I figure you're reading this online, and you have an email address and plastic, so you can pay that way. No cash, no checks, unless you buy it locally when we cross that bridge.

To order, email me at 83LegacyTee@gmail.com with size/quantity/specific shipping info and I will email you back a Paypal invoice for payment. Shirts will take about 10 days to print so do not expect shipment before the first full week in November.

Please check back occasionally as we may have figured out a way to locally distribute and that information would be available in following posts.

Remember, I'm doing this as a hobby in my spare time for you all, so if I don't IMMEDIATELY send an invoice for your order, give it a little time. Thanks! Hope you guys enjoy them.

GO PACK

Question: Is your paypal account going to be 83LegacyTee@gmail.com?

10/24/2007 11:12:36 PM

Yes

10/24/2007 11:16:36 PM

cool deal

thanks again

10/24/2007 11:20:55 PM

i'll email you tomorrow, gonna call a few people and see if they want one first.

10/24/2007 11:21:36 PM

Also, it will make things much simpler if you let me send you an invoice first rather than sending me money right away, that way I can keep track of who orders what. I will fill the orders in the order I get them, so you dont need to worry about not getting your shit.

10/24/2007 11:23:06 PM

aside from the fact that you're an alias that didn't start posting on here except to sell these shirts and (supposedly) live in dc.

10/24/2007 11:25:15 PM

I would order one of these if anyone would know what the hell it meant down here in Atlanta

10/24/2007 11:27:41 PM

it's not for them.

10/24/2007 11:28:44 PM

its meant for someone to read or there wouldn't be writing on it...

10/24/2007 11:29:36 PM

A couple old heads on here know who I am, I've been around here since 01. '03 alum.

Honestly it shouldn't be that hard to figure out who I am if you've been around any amount of time, but I just would rather stay anonymous this time around, like Ted Danson on Curb Your Enthusiasm hahaha

10/24/2007 11:30:21 PM

does everyone in atlanta get the outcast version??!?!

... shit.

[Edited on October 24, 2007 at 11:32 PM. Reason : ^ i'm not too worried about it, although i'd be lying if i said i knew who you were.]

10/24/2007 11:30:41 PM

haha, yes, yes they do

10/24/2007 11:34:02 PM

The whole idea of these shirts is that if you see it and know who it's referring to, it's just a tribute/head nod to the team and to true Pack fans...

If they don't, 1) fuck em, and 2) maybe they ask you and you can tell them how awesome the Pack are, etc.

10/24/2007 11:35:53 PM

if you have to tell someone...

10/24/2007 11:41:21 PM

bttt

got a couple orders in last night

keep em comin'

10/25/2007 8:37:11 AM

how bout the '74 team?

10/25/2007 8:43:30 AM

Not that I care one way or the other if you make money on this. I think you should, frankly. Are you still planning on giving half the proceeds to the V foundation?

Also, I should be putting an order in soon. Thanks for putting this together man.

10/25/2007 8:49:13 AM

Do these shirts tend to run on the large size? I'm 5'10 normal weight, and I hate ordering a large and getting a dress.

10/25/2007 8:51:42 AM

'normal weight' doesnt help at all when picking out a shirt size haha. 5'10 normal weight says 'medium' to me but you apparently get larges. he'd probably need a specific weight to compare or something

10/25/2007 8:55:00 AM

that would be a good idea.

i would sell for $16 or so and give whatever you make to V.

10/25/2007 8:56:48 AM

yeah i fall into the same category. I am 5'11 and pretty normal weight - 165ish. Sometimes I will order a large and the sleeves will hang to my wrists and then I other times I will turn around and order a medium and the damn thing fits so tight my nipples show.

so what brand are the tees? Maybe I have one I can compare

Atleast...just depends on how the orders come in.

maybe down the road, but not right now

They're normal tshirts, I don't really know what to tell you.

I don't know exactly what I'll end up getting, I requested Hanes or FOTL Tagless, which is a pretty standard tshirt. if its a little too big then just shrink it a little...there shouldnt be that much discrepancy between a medium and a large that couldnt be rectified by some time in the dryer on full blast

10/25/2007 9:11:51 AM

sign me up for a L

10/25/2007 9:55:32 AM

Great shirts, but do yourself a favor and set up a Paypal shopping cart. It'll take all of 15 minutes to set up, save you a hell of alot of time in keeping track of orders, prints out mailing labels, and keeps everything in one place. Costs something like $7/mo, but well worth it.

For that matter, just use a flat-rate Priority Mail envelope to ship these in. $4.60 or thereabouts for up to 4 lbs.

Yes, I'm lazy, but dealing with fulfillment is enough of a pain in the ass as it is.

10/25/2007 10:16:23 AM

if that's all it is, i will probably do that, since it would even out on cost anyways using priority shipping materials for free versus buying envelopes/boxes and shipping supplies.

^i see what you mean by the shopping cart thing, but i think ill just do it this way... i have a paypal business account set up to do this, which is free and lets me send out invoices as i fill them with a button embedded in the email for one click payment...if i were mass producing these things i might consider it, but for the amount i think we're going to end up selling, i dont think i need all that.


I need to reiterate, if you send me an email for an order, you need to include the following

-SIZE
-QUANTITY
-SHIPPING INFO

I have the time to do this, but what I dont have time to do is individually follow up with people for info they neglected to send me...

Word - I've got a buddy that does some small-order screen printing out of his house and that's what I was thinking about.

That, and I'm getting ready to launch my book on the Mississippi River expedition in the spring and have been thinking about this kind of mess for months. I'm damn near convinced to just sell the thing exclusively through Amazon and let them deal with shipping stuff with the exception of a few other outlets (Great Outdoor Provision Co. was a sponsor, and maybe try to get it in REI, EMS, Mississippi River Museum, etc) http://www.sourcetosea.net

10/25/2007 10:47:52 AM

where can you order the outkast shirt?

unless hes getting ripped off on screenprinting(and depending on the order size), he should be making $ off of selling them for $13 a shirt anyways

Well my goal here is to give the fanbase something I think is cool and hopefully not have any out of pocket costs when all is said and done. If i happen to come out in the black a little bit, I think it's reasonable to split the difference between myself and JimmyV.org.

I set the price at $13 because it will net me a profit, but like I said, I want to have a decent contribution to go to the foundation, not pad my pockets.

10/25/2007 11:53:03 AM

im getting me and shorty one of these

10/25/2007 12:19:59 PM

Really - unless you end up selling bijillions of these, if you actually account for your time into putting this together, mailing shirts, invoicing, etc, you might end up making $.25/hr GG on the shirts again.

10/25/2007 12:20:13 PM

Per Johnny Swank's suggestion,

and because I can order the envelopes right to my door, making my life easier... shipping will be a flat rate of $4.60, delivered anywhere in the US and for up to 5 shirts via PRIORITY MAIL. While that may sound high, you'd pay that much if I was doing it via Ground or whatever because I'd have to buy envelopes and tape separately. This way all the shipping materials are "free".

10/25/2007 3:44:10 PM

at the very latest they should be ready & shipping before the first official game of the season against W&M, but probably the week before the game assuming the timetable works out correctly

10/25/2007 4:37:25 PM

well we're posted up in the Lowe group on FB, I advertised it on the NCSU FB network, and I'm talking with the Capital Area Alumni Association about distribution as well...

Keep the orders comin' guys! Remember, this benefits the Jimmy V Foundation mostly.

10/25/2007 9:59:22 PM

you might want to post on rivals and scout.

even if it will get deleted.

10/26/2007 12:42:15 AM

Those are ugly. Really.

10/26/2007 7:57:56 AM

awesome, don't buy one.

10/26/2007 10:44:56 AM

Update,

they are going to be ready Nov. 9th, which means I can probably expect to receive the shipments @ the beginning of the week of the 12th, and start sending them out...

10/26/2007 12:13:56 PM

i'm in.

10/28/2007 7:38:56 AM

I'll get one once I have a paypal balance again

10/28/2007 10:59:21 AM

guys, off the initial production right now,

the following sizes/quantities are left.

5 Small
6 Medium
7 Large
7 XL
3 XXL

if i can sell through the majority of the first order, I may re-up if sufficient demand exists...and once a few people start wearing them, hopefully that will spur further orders and necessitate the re-up

i emailed you and received no email back.

explain.

10/29/2007 9:43:52 AM

you likely provided all the info correctly the first time, so i didnt need to email you back

i'm not sending out invoices or anything till probably the end of the week, as they won't be ready/shipped to me till the end of next week (sometime around the 9th-12th)

10/29/2007 9:45:35 AM

11:00 am update

5 Small
5 Medium
4 Large
7 XL

10/29/2007 9:56:06 AM

5 Small
5 Medium
5 Large
7 XL
