Sanco and I are coming up with some ideas and opinions are welcome! I would like to see a light blue line streaks through the center of WINDY CITY and MARAUDERS with the 4 red stars between or separating the words.... example:

WINDY CITY----- (light blue throught the center)
* * * *
MARAUDERS---- (light blue through the center)

[justbob]

I want a letterman jacket. Old skool Brown/off white sleeves would be cool. But black on black would almost have to be color. Lettering wise? Simple says more.

Yup, we want something simple but bold, and I agree less is more! Do you have an example of the off brown/white jacket, Bob?

I think 5 and 6 are the best

Yeah, harlem Knights! Okay, gotta ask. What's with the line and the stars?

[yjmud]

I like 6 !!!!!!!!

[1 Bad Merc]

Justbob they are using a hybrid of the Chicago police markings and the City of Chicago flag.

I like #'s 2 & 3 and would like to see some finish line flags maybe incorporated in the logo. Not sure how I feel about the Chicago stuff after I heard numerous reasons why I/we could never qualify for the fastest Marauder in the City of Chicago.

I know the comments were made by an ex-member but that one really irked me.

I will go with whatever you guys decide is the coolest :)

[guspech750]

3, 5, & 6 FTW!!

A letterman jacket would be way cool. I love my Sox letterman. I for sure could use another!!

[sanco]

i wasnt sure if that was a real question but i guess it was lol

its an attempt to tie in windy sity and marauders. the lines and stars are chicago flag and the rest you should be able to figure out.

the checkers are not police related, they are an actual attempt to do a checkered flag, didnt want to make it too thick

i dont understand why its a big deal but i am not going to drift away from the chicago flag because of someone's comments

[TAKEDOWN]

I like it, how 'bout bigger letters... Please Sir!

[sanco]

ok so here is my decision based on input from you guys, 5 will be the logo for stickers and the front of the shirts. keep in mind that the stickers will be white and the logo will be white on black shirts so dont mind the white shirt shown below lol

rough rendering also shows the front and the back

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u232/sanco2k05/logo5.jpg

[sanco]

i still dont know what the price point would be for the shirts or stickers. i will go to one hour tees this week hopefully and check with them. if anyone has anyone cheaper and better let me know. i also wouldnt want garbage either so please only decent quality stuff.

if anyone wants to use the logos for their own project, please contact me and let me know

these are original designs and ideas so we do not have to worry about any copyright issues, the only thing i ask for is to respect the work Drew and I put into the design of these logos and not profit off of them.

[yjmud]

It looks good man

Upper left looks best in my opinion (and yes, I know nobody asked for my opinion :D)

[TAKEDOWN]

Lol, I think I'm pissin' Sanco off and driving' him cRaZzZy!

[sanco]

lol well, here is the official official back of the shirt logo...i believe Drew and I made the final renderings to it. it will be a little more cleaned up, stars are going to look sharper and etc...

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u232/sanco2k05/LOGO7.jpg

front logo is still to be debated, i would still like to go with the one i suggested, #5 from the original post

[TAKEDOWN]

... And lettering bigger, right bro? Lmao do you hate me yet?

I think a lighted Chicago skyline in the background being pushed by the wind with some slanted letters would be cool. I would send the artwork but I have no idea how to do it......:lol:

[sanco]

i dont want to get too carried away with this, we will never make everyone happy and the more basic the better since that way you can hit most people's taste at once.

besides cleaning up the back a little i think i am done with it. another thing, what size shirt does everyone wear?

[guspech750]

Wait. Wait a minute, or two. We don't all live in Chicago. Some of us live outside Chicago. So can you make a Windy Suburban Marauders logo?:)

JOeY, I like you anyways without a shirt, LOL! :lovies:

[justbob]

That's actually got nothing at all to do with it Drew, I would never let a punk get to me like that, besides we know he is/was just having issues and refuses to get help... Besides, you've known me for almost four years now, I don't intend to insult anyone whatsoever, I am just simply saying I personally don't care for it and why. I would much rather people speak up and comment than not post at all, or worse yet lie to me. Whereas some may view that as insulting, I view it as honesty. I would be more insulted if only three or four members chimed in for interest, and the rest remained quiet. I'm glad a few of you like it, that alone is very hard to achieve! So get it done and enjoy. Sonny said it very well, "hard to please everyone", me and you Drew know that all to well don't we?

Smile crackas, its just a shirt! Let's go fry some tires soon, I'm gonna have some new clutchs to break in soon. :)

OK so here is a rough draft of the first design, comments appreciated on improvement

i DID try getting the rims into the pic but it just did not sit right...

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u232/sanco2k05/logo9.jpg

[yjmud]

I like the idea but I don't like the design
But I don't know what would look good
maybe the old mercury script and block windy city under it

[tbone]

I like it but....
How about a real pic of the city and maybe some fancy font in cursive?:)

Like this maybe....it could say Windy City Marauders in the lower part.

[TAKEDOWN]

No worries, we're determined to get this right! Though we can't please everyone, we're looking for the majority. I'm looking for constructive criticism, suggestions, and will keep an open mind on everyone's opinions. Sanco and I are in NO hurry on this, you got ideas throw it out there.

[guspech750]

How About a picture of a Marauder rim with windy city marauders writen around it in the tire portion. About 5" in size.
Then stamp that on the left breast of a shirt.

What about putting the MM in the foreground of the skyline?

http://i.imgur.com/XDIK5.jpg

Just a thought..

[TAKEDOWN]

^^^ Are you able to drop the skyline a little more to close the gap? ^^^

Lol, see Sanco I got someone else to harass now!

[xopher]

I'm pretty bad at this, and I don't have a silhouette of the MM with wheels, but here is the thing I did before with the MM moved up a smidge:

http://i.imgur.com/7KuJM.jpg

[TAKEDOWN]

That's better, are you able to start and end the skyline from front to rear bumper of MARAUDER outline? It would be greatly appreciated. Lol, see what you got yourself into! Thanks Sir. :beer:

[xopher]

If I enlarge the car so the bumpers touch the ends of the skyline, the cabin of the MM would cover the silhouettes of about 60% of the buildings. Sanco might have to return and provide some wise guidance.

[TAKEDOWN]

Lol... Thanks for your efforts Bro! I gotta depend on Sanco too because I'm not that great with computers.

I like it too. Would you have it large on the back and then one on the left chest in the front? That is what I would want. You could do it in all 4 colors the car comes in. Silver would have to be on a dark shirt of course.

PS The black with white letters looks tough.

PSS Maybe italicize "Windy City" or use a font that looks windblown?

[TAKEDOWN]

... Or the flag in the front and sully's design in the back!

Thanks for ALL your support Outsider!

[Sully008]

So whatcha guys think? Design for the back of the shirt and the flag for the front! We're still working on more designs but probably won't stray too far from this, but we'll see! I was actually also thinking' of a MARAUDERS OF THE MIDWAY theme too.

[tbone]

I would rather have the logo on the left chest area than the flag. Maybe both versions could be available?

I really like the older landscape, but it's missing the Hancock building. Hmmm... The latest version are you able to drop down the skyline a bit and stretch out where the Hancock would be closer to the front bumper? Sorry for being a pain in the ***!

[TAKEDOWN]

Probably won't be ready till Spring time!

[marauder21]

Spring time sounds perfect for me. Oh and it might be a little early to say this but I mentioned it to guspech that in the summer every Monday in Westchester the whole community gets together for a car show. EVERYONE is invited to show off their cars or to simply spend time together. And well my point is, I was kinda planning to invite a lot of members from this website to all get together at once kinda like have a marauder domination:) #just a thought

[lilssridah]

Nice layouts for the shirts, I would like to get one, or 2 shirts. Throw a mercury and ford logo. It would be the finishing touch I think.

[sanco]

yea unfortunately cant throw in those logos, ford has a really tight grip on their logos and brand

Last thing i want is to get in a legal fight with Ford lol

[lilssridah]

True, I wonder how us Impala ss guys have rights to use the chevy bowtie and Impala Logo's on our clubs shirts. I'm gonna ask at our next meeting how we never got legal problems. Also I noticed many other car clubs use ford,GM,Chrysler logos without problems.

[yjmud]

ford is a real kcoc sucker with their logos

[sanco]

to be honest its probably because they are flying under the radar with the logos. There are countless clubs out there so im sure the Ford legal team has better things to do than to track down every club using their logo on tshirts.

This could change very fast if somebody gets a word of it and decides to be a real dickhead about it

[yjmud]

a friend of mine got a cease and desist letter from the ford legal team for logos

i was talking to Drew today and i also came up with the same concept without knowing it was done before, i am kinda leaning towards this more than the flag one

We could try something facing front as well

Hey guys were are we at with the logo and the shirt design? I was hoping to have a shirt for MV 10. Any update on status?

Thanks

[UncleLar]

Oh by the way, thanks for modeling UncleLar!
My younger brother,Dom,has that shirt now.
I think he's a good guy to carry on the tradition and spirit of the Windy City Marauders,friendship,fellowshi p,love of the Marauder and willingness to help a fellow Marauder owner any way he can,just like you guys! :beer:

I like design number 3 of the original ones posted but with a couple of mods.
First all the logos in white available on black t shirts (with pockets,thank you) for black MM owners,white logos on DTR colored shirts for the DTR people,and maybe black logos on light grey shirts for the SB guys,and for guys with a Blue,a Pink t shirt that simply says "I'm Special",JK,a nice dark blue like the blue Fruit of the Loom's blue color with white logo?
Algain,I prefer design number three,BUT,in slightly larger letters than currently on it print above the large Marauder logo WINDY CITY and in the same size/type letters as WINDY CITY print Marauders below the large Marauder logo. Yes/No ?
Nothing wrong with Sanco's idea's,I'm just offering a few of my own.
