After school today, Yotter and I stopped by Reneker's to look into custom shirts. First of all, we can't have a logo on the front that looks like the Nubblies logo. The reason for this is that they only have specific colors can't can't blend it that well. Along with this, they don't have a real yellow. The closest thing is "Valley Gold," which we looked at on the way out. I think it'd work. It's very comparable to the darker parts of the logo up top.
With that said, the best that we'll be able to do is have "The Nubblites" written out in gold lettering on a black shirt. Our names (whatever you want it to be, of course) will be on the back along with whatever number you feel fit. On a sidenote, Yotter calls #12.
The price for such a task is reasonable. The setup cost is $20.00 + $3.00 per shirt to put the shit on the front. Since there are 9 players total, that would mean the shirts alone will cost $27.00 + the $20.00 setup fee = $47.00 total, to be shared by all ($5.25 each).
Along with the standard $5.25 for each person, each letter on the back of the shirt will cost $.25 and each number will cost $1.00.
Example: The back said "Johnny Sexblaster" and you had #82, that would cost $6.00 extra [(16 letters * $.25) + (2 letters * $1.00) = $6.00].
Nieter was in there getting shirts for the Boomba-Heys (might as well be called the Boomba-Gays), and she said that they got 7 orders yesterday so they might not be able to get his in. In the end, she said they should have their's by Sunday...but it would be close. What's that mean? Well, it means that we need to get on the ball to have shirts for the first game.
An Idea that I had:
What if we were to purchase the T-Shirt iron on kits to use for the front logo. That way, we could have an exact copy with the colors and shit (so it would look just like the logo that you see in the top left, but it'd say "The Nubblites" <i could make it yellower as well, if you all desired> ). Yotter suggest that I talk to Woody because, as I was told, his brother is a known dabbler in homeade t-shirts. What type of quality can we expect from the iron on shit (quality, both visually and durability-wise)?
Another question that I didn't get around to asking: What all will be necessary to take in to get "The Nubblites" written in the Alfred Drake font? Can we just print it off how we want it on a piece of paper and let those sexbears take care of the rest? I really don't know anything about this, so if any of you do, go ahead and put your info into the community barrel.
Yeah, go ahead and reply what you think we should do (in regards to Iron-On front/Reneker's back OR letting Reneker's take care of it all).
