ATTN: Windy city guys------T shirts anyone?

[justbob]

Here's the deal, Takedown (Drew) is an oustanding artist!!! He has came up with a skull complete with fractures and of course a God hat and is wanting to gather interest in new Windy City Marauders shirts. There is a printing place two miles from my house that gave me an estimate of $12 bucks a pop with atleast 25 ordered. I would need sizes and styles from you, and of course cash. I'll try and get a scanned copy from Drew to post up for you soon. I was thinking this needs to remain simple, black shirts only, with three basic shirts/hoodies choices.

The VERY rough estimate is:

Tee shirts $12
Long sleeve $16-17
Hoodies have not been quoted yet.

I will need a somewhat acurate count before he gives me a final price, plus i need to take Drew's artwork in for him to see.

Pic's?:confused:

[justbob]

I need to get them from Drew. Hopefully soon.

[Motorhead350]

I am interested in a shirt, but I want something besides a back logo... at least on mine.

[TAKEDOWN]

Sorry for the lack of pictures, but I've drawn several choices and unsure which one is the best. Motorhead and JustBob have seen them and hoping maybe the Windy City Crew could vote/judge on design. I'll attempt to put pictures up, I'm not very good on computers.

[UncleLar]

Pocket T's?

[justbob]

Quit smoking...................Oh wait i smoke to.
Probably no pockets

[UncleLar]

:censor:,no pockets? :(
After darn near 60 years on this earth smoking or not a pocket is as much a part of me as a knife is,always handy and there if I need it for anything.
See if the guys got any pocket t's and let me know,I guess I could spring for a takedown original even without a pocket if that's the only way I could get one.

[rayjay]

Not from the Windy City, but I'm interested in one. Gonna ship them?

[Zack]

[TAKEDOWN]

Ahhhhh... gotta figure out how to post em'!

[Blackened300a]

Ahhhhh... gotta figure out how to post em'!

Email them to me, Xhaustedls@aol.com Ill host them and post them.

[ChiTownMaraud3r]

I'd be in, lets get some pics up though.

[UncleLar]

Hmmm,you got a picture of a smoking Thompson in there Drew so they know we're the real deal from Chicago?

[Motorhead350]

Andrews designs are great! I cannot wait until you guys see them.

[CBT]

I'm up there often enough, if they look good I'll get 2.

[chapel1]

1 long and 1 short sleeve XXL for me please.

[Mike]

I'm in, but all depends on the design(s) :D

[TAKEDOWN]

Sorry guys... Please be patient with me, I'm gonna have my wife or cousin help me out, & went drinking last night. I must say Johnnie Walker "Black" kept me busy. I should have it before or around 6pm tonight, at least I hope. BTW I'm open to suggestions too!

[justbob]

My suggestion, Jeigermeister from now on.:2thumbs:

Are you good at drawing cars Drew? Can you get maybe a Rat Fink sort of a thing going too?

Either way I'd love to see it from you.

Dom + old school = :D

[sd8683]

Is it possible to get the shirts made without being associated with the windy city marauders? I mean no offense by this, you might get more people interested though. That being said..... I'll probably grab a shirt or two either way.

[justbob]

Sorry, us newer guys never got a hold of the now retired WCM shirts so were just trying to fit in around here.:o But you never know maybe we'll work something out after the first batch.

If they don't ruin mine you'd be welcome to use it as a pattern to make copies,and mine has a POCKET.

[TAKEDOWN]

Okay Guys here are the pictures you've been asking about... let me know what you think.

[TAKEDOWN]

It's just a sketch I will clean up the design once you guys decide which one is the most ideal design to be printed on some T's.

[sd8683]

If you put the helmet from pic#2 and put it on the skull of pic#1 that would look AMAZING IMO.......... Excellent drawings!!!!!!

[Blackened300a]

Look great!!, Maybe make the wing's on the helmet a pair of blade's that face back.

[TAKEDOWN]

I'd like it centered with the Chicago Skyline in the background, Windy City above helmet, and underneath Marauders.

[ChiTownMaraud3r]

I like the jawless skull 3.

[justbob]

I'm going for #3 but #1 is a close one!

[justbob]

After going back and fourth its definately #3 for me:up:

[ChiTownMaraud3r]

:lol: 5 minutes later.

Would be nice to photoshop it as a rear emblem on the back of the car, for the back of the shirt. So have a rear view shot of the car with the skull as the rear badge on the back of the shirt.

[rayjay]

I like em all.

[CBT]

Number 3, fo sho.

[PantherP71]

Those are awesome.
I want one.

[TAKEDOWN]

I, myself like #3! Jawless has a little more attitude.

[Motorhead350]

I like number one the most and it would be great with a Chicago Skyline like you suggested. :)

[BruteForce]

Needs a pair of crossed pistons to complete the look.

[bluesfan]

Living in Colorado but originally from Chicago I really like them. Number 3 is personal favorite. Crossed pistons will create a conflict with a certain motorcycle club with a major chapter in your town so be wise on that one.

[justbob]

We need to change direction on this and get a firm answer as to which one of the drawings will be used. When that is established i will get the rendering from Drew and take it to the inkers and get a somewhat fixed price. Then we will gather sizes, kind of shirt you want, and how many.

Please be a little patient here as Drew lives an hour away and we both live hectic lives like anyone else. My target date is definately before Kentucky so i can just hand deliver to interested parties. Stay tuned for a new poll.

Thanks, Bob.

[justbob]

OK go to the new thread labeled http://www.mercurymarauder.net/forums/showthread.php?p=715759#post71 5759

Which Takedown original for new Windy City shirts?

[TAKEDOWN]

Ahhh.... Thanks Bob!

Having grown up around the two major clubs around Chicago and having been friends with a lot of the old time members my concerns are similar.The skull with the godshead hat is very similar to the big west coast club's logo and I wouldn't want to be caught wearing it by members of either club,one might well take it as a cheap rip off of their colors and the other club might take you as a wannbe parading around on their territory.Adding a set of crossed pistons would only add fuel to the fire.Believe me,there is no love lost between the two clubs.
No offense to your artwork and idea Drew,I think you've done some nice work here,but I'll pass on a t shirt with any of these designs.
