If I made t-shirts, would you buy them? What should they say? Maybe everyone should post their thoughts and ideas and we can do a poll or something.

Here's my ideas (using nwkite.com font):

(front / back)
forums suck / nwkite.com
it's windy here / nwkite.com
elev. 30' / nwkite.com
marry poppins was a kiter / nwkite.com
I posted the secret spot. / nwkite.com
local / nwkite.com

PostSun Aug 07, 05 7:35 pm    My Ideas...so far: Reply with quote

I'll buy one. I like the Mary Poppins idea. But, let's keep brainstorming too.

Front/Back:

1) Login Bitch!/nwkite.com

2) (Limited Production for the Territorial Pissings crew) I'm a Local...You're Not...So Get the Fuck Away From My Local Spot/nwkite.com

3) ChristoperCrossbow KiteSailin'/nwkite.com (but only if the shirt is pink)

4) (TP crew) Fuck You, I'm a Kiter from Lyle/nwkite.com

5) Cover that Dangler with Board Shorts/nwkite.com

6) Judas Priest(but must be the correct font)/nwkite.com

7) Sailing the wind and waves with my kite is really fun/nwkite.com

Cool (TP crew limited production...and please don't take this seriously...Nevertheless....Here we go) We'll Cut Your Lines if We Don't Like You/(Phil...Could we modify the website to nwkitemilitia.com?)

1. If it's windy, go sailing.

2. The Dangler always has right of way.

3. NWKite.cow (I saw this in the outhouse at the spit.)

4. Stink eye has been cancelled.

I vote for #5 from Travisbrick... or Tonski's graphics. . .

Regional shirts would be cool as well.

I'll buy one even if it's just NWkite.com

Here's an example of what bayareakiteboarding.com did for their T-shirts. I like them - simple, but cool. We could even check with their supplier and create a similar design tailored to the Northwest.

I went kiting and got flesh eating bacteria and all I got was this stupid shirt. NWKite.com

But seriously. I think a shirt with just the NWKite.com logo would be all right. I'd buy one.

great forum, thanks to the admin guys for the behind the scenes stuff.

tee shirts definitely should have local flava. here is some newbie input:
1. less is more: consider NO front side graphic.
2. understated is best: let the civilians ask you to explain what the brotha's and sista's recognize.
3. maybe there is a graphic artists in the bunch who could stylize the recent pic of the sandbar w/hood in the background. it was shot from the wa side, in one of the recent kb rags. nobody who has kited the gorge could miss the message.
4. count me in for one or two.

Maybe if you're a salmon trying to get past the sea lions at the dam.

Kiters need steez and bling.

Dax - what's the consensus on the T-shirts? It would be great to have some in time for Christmas. Wink

I think the "less is more" would be a good first edition and universally appealing.

Also, can you have girl versions made (cropped) Girls won't buy the baggy men's T's. Also, how about rash guards?
