[Lambow]

Looks like I might be a little late on this, but if there's any room left, I'd like to get in on the hunt.... especially it bein as close as it is to me.

I will check to see how costly that is going to get along with pocketed shirts.

Names on the pocket also if we get the pocket version

[Berliner]

Well, seems as it might better be a LARGE pocket...  

[Brad_Gentry]

Flint...  You ought to really try to make this one. You can ride down with me and Doug.

My .02 on the shirts,

I'm with Mudd on the Pocket T, I'm lost without one.

I'm for having the Hill photo Big N Bold on the back, annd something small like "Hill Gang Hog Hunt 2013" printed on the pocket.

As Jeff said, you may add substantial cost by setting up to print names individually.

I like the idea for the photo large on the back with a small logo on the front. Names will add a significant cost and much more work to the project.

Hi Guys,

I use to work for a screen-printing shop, and I use to sell custom traditional archery tees at events.  Although some like the practical nature of pockets, in general pocket tees are not nearly as popular among the masses.  The biggest problem I see with a pocket tee would be having to put the main logo on the back.  Having a plain tee (as seen from the front) in all of the group photos and trophy shots from this hunt isn't as appealing to me.  Even a smaller left chest or pocket logo on the front won't show up well.  I'd much rather see the main design printed large on the front as a more overt display of camaraderie that would then be in most of the photos.  Plus a lot of Hill shooters use back quivers so the logo would be covered on the back, whereas there would just be a narrow strap across the front.

If the decision is to go with pocket tees and use the main logo as a full back print instead of a full front print, I'd be happy to come up with a smaller 'Hill Gang' logo for the front, but I would not suggest trying to put it on the pocket (those are notoriously hard to print well).  In that case, the smaller logo should be on the opposite side of the pocket.  However, doing an image on both sides of the shirt, regardless of size, would make the shirts a lot more expensive because it would require additional screen and set up fees in addition to the extra printing fees.

Finally, printing the hunters' names on the shirts sounds cool, but I don't think it is practical.  Life happens...many hunters who seem fully onboard now may not be able to make it when he time comes, others may be able to last minute, and there is just no way the list would be accurate and those who come late to the party might feel left out.  I don't think it would be worth the hassle to have names on there.

Those are just my humble opinions and I'm happy to continue to help with art support in anyway I can no matter what is deiced.

Your right Paul, every time they have to handle that shirt or re-setup $$.

Outstanding job on the image!    

Eric

[Mudd]

Makes sense to me Paul.

I hereby redraw my request for a pocketed "T".

Thanks for taking the time and effort to enlighten a "T" shirt dummy.

God bless,Mudd

I think they should be "tightly" handled.Only people that show up can get one and any leftovers be auctioned at St. Judes. This is a special event for HILL style bowhunters and if the shirts are limited to that they would become special and maybe bring a few bucks for some needy kids.RC

[WESTBROOK]

RC, Exactly!    

Eric

[Bud B.]

Yeah, front logo vote here. No names.

But, bring a few sharpies and have everyone sign your shirts at the hunt!!

THOSE leftovers would bring maybe even MORE for St. Jude!!

Looking forward to it. Already have vacation set for next year  

[rushlush]

I'm with RC, great idea.

[misfire]

I'll throw my 2 cents in here. I like the big Logo on the back with a smaller one on either side in the front. I just think it makes for a better looking shirt.

If we take a group photo then put them on backwards...

Cool idea right there.

[stik&string]

That's a great idea for the St. Jude's auction with the left over shirts. I know the hunts a year away but the anticipation is killing me.

Me too Wade! I think I focusing more on this when I go out to shoot than I am on whitetail season.
