so whuts the latest on this?

dun forget i want 2 caps heh

[MrMayhem]

Your head getting chilly in these 3 degree mornings ?

Im in for a beanie and a hat when you guys are done

[Majanal]

Just got clarification on the name issue... As long as there is no link to the club (ie. the Club is not selling them) then you don't need get Nissans approval. As SAU-VIC doesn't exsist then I don't see it being a problem.

If however you would like me to clear it past them I'm sure that that can be arranged once you have a final design made up.

OH and don't forget that I would like some of these when they are made!

Cheers,

Dan.

[inark]

does that mean when we actually ARE a club we wont be able to have these (without selling more) as our club stuff? ie. we already have them.... but cant wear em on club days or on club promotional events?

[funkymonkey]

Doubt it. they can't say anything about merchandise that club members already have when joining the club.

Anyways, good news from the manufacturer, after a good long fone call (tryin to figger how da fvk to get the design to them) I managed to get em to agree to makin caps and beenies in coulours OF YOUR LIKING!!! ie ANY colour cap and beenie with the logo will be made up.

TWO different designs will be used, one for the cap one for the beenie.

The cap is like this:

It is flexfit, which means one size fits all, its made from a cotton + lycra elastic material.

The beenie looks like this:

The printing is done in gel printing, the material is half cotton half acrylic. An example of a beenie that this manufacturer makes is on the recent Craig David music video with Sting. The company mas-if which manufactured that beenie gets their products ordered thru the same manufacturer. When I suggested that the peeps wanted skull caps not folding beenies the lady said "oh you mean craig david style?".

Ignore the designs in the pics guys, just the genral shape and material will be the same.

Dan can you get their approval anyways, just in case, if they condone our running off a limited set for our member base only and not for commercial sale, then I'd welcome it.

But if they wanna introduce catches and clauses and conditions which in any way affect the time, cost or effort of us obtaining these things then stuff em.

As for SAU-NSW sellin the beenies, I'll leave that up to you guysin the committee to decide how to and if you wanna, or if you want me to just mail them out of VIC. Either way the extra money will come back to the running of the forum and/or organising events in your local state, depending on how much the end cost will be.

[funkymonkey]

here are some logos I made up for the front of the cap... lemme know what you think

I'd prefer a simple...

and at the back we could have sumfin like this in a small line...

Short simple, not gaudy and not overbearing, and quite destinctive.

[predator]

good work on the organising..

sorry munky.. but i like my one better those circles look to 70's or something.

Now we've got the interest there we take a vote on the design chosen as well (say from 3 possibles) ??

[Majanal]

Yeah, settle on a design and let me know funky, I will get it run past them... from what I have been told it shouldn't be a problem as long as you don't use the GTR badge or name. (Which so far you arn't thinking of)

As for the logo I like the one for the back... but change SKYLINESAUSTRALIA to SAU and stick it on the front! as for the back well I'm not really sure... I had thought the URL for advertising but some feel that this is geeky.

my $0.02.

[funkymonkey]

the more I look at the GTR style badge the more I like it... I'll come up with about 4 concepts and then put up a poll, abnd you guys can vote on em.

[WazR32GTSt]

funky,

can u do some popular beanie designs up in a poll as well?

[funkymonkey]

yeah, i'll post a different poll for the beenies.

Altho beenies should be easy, most ppl want plain beenies with not much clutter.

I'm looking at the Jap merchandise available, I might try to do some jap style designs.

[Dj laBBy]

Yah one of each would be wa cool, though the SAU with just 2 standard red lights would be pretty kewl, but i doesn't really matter

[inark]

i say go with my design of the hat with the GTR style SAU.

[inark]

i say go with my design of the hat with the GTR style SAU.

[hotsky]

i can really see the GTR SAU design on the front of the cap, or even better still simply on the front of the beanie

count me in for 1 of each NO MATTER WHAT THE DESIGNS!

[WazR32GTSt]

how soon do u rekon they will be made? hopefully we can get some beanie use in before winter ends...!

[funkymonkey]

haha 2 weeks from now I reckon?

[funkymonkey]

its up to you guys, the manufacturer is ready to take orders, I'm ready to pay for em, basically all that is left is for you guys to decide quickly which design you like, and in what colour.
