    Yeah, my idea was to push some people's buttons with the "Greatest Venue On Earth" part, just because some people think Alpine is over-rated. I figure it would be a good conversation starter when you wear it to other future shows. We'll see what the concenus opinion is though.
    alpine IS the greatest venue on earth..at least of the earth that i've travelled :p

    Okay, here are the Alpine Shirts!

    I made 2 versions. I think regardless of which text we use (click links to see difference), this should go on a yellow shirt. Because A) It's a bright obnoxious color that Ed should be able to see if someone in the front rows happens to be wearing one. B) You have to acknowledge green or yellow if it's a WI themed shirt.

    So here's version 1:

    On a shirt:

    Version 2:

    On a shirt:

    I'd also like to put "I Survived the Ice Bowl" on the back if it doesn't increase the price much.

    What do you guys think? Vote for which one you like!


    I like the first one the most. 2nd one is cool also. hehe :D

    what about instead of I survived Ice Bowl - how about asking for another Ice Bowl? maybe on the back, you could say like Dec. 2008, Ice Bowl II?! (or not)

    Tempting, but if I don't put a date on these then we can wear them more in the future ya know? I'll probably wear this for atleast one midwest show a tour if they aren't scheduling shows for Alpine at the time.

    I have this in to get a quote for the shirts. He said the price drops for every dozen we order. I should hear back from him soon.


    ps....I agree with not putting a date on it. If we put something on the back I would make it something like: "Ice Bowl Survivor"

    EDIT: Adding wording on the back is going to increase the price between $1.50 and $2.00 a shirt. FYI.


    Got the t-shirt quote:

    For 36 w/ 1 color front print only:
    FOTL tees - $9.75 (s-xl) +tax
    Amer. Apparel baby doll womens tee - $12.75 (s-xl) +tax

    For 50 w/ 1 color front print only:
    FOTL 5.6oz s/slv tees - $9.25 (s-xl) +tax
    Amer. Apparel baby doll womens tee - $12.25 (s-xl) +tax

    OR give us 3 weeks to turnaround the order and here is your pricing:

    36 FOTL - $8.75
    36 baby doll - $11.75
    50 FOTL - $8.25
    50 baby doll - $11.25

    This does include only a 1 color 1 location design. if you want to do multiple
    color garments, there is no extra cost as long as the print color stays
    the same (changing ink is an additional cost).


    I am checking on how much more to put something on the back...thought I asked but he didn't include in the quote. And asked about XXL price. I'll reply (by edit) when I hear about that.

    We would have to order by this Friday to get the 3 week turnaround discount. I would assume a quantity of 36 would be pleanty?? Maybe start a new thread to get an initial order....then we could get a few more to sell at the pre-party??

    What do you think?

    I like the idea of putting something about the Ice Bowl on the back. Good idea to commemorate the coldest concert in PJ history, maybe all of concert history. " I survived the Ice Bowl or Ice Bowl Survivor" works for me.
    Great idea!
    "I think this is the coldest red wine I've ever had"

    That’s pretty reasonable for pricing, sounds good to me.

    Cool, maybe we offer them in Yellow, White, or Gray? We can do different sizes on these too right?

    Hmmm, this Friday is cutting it pretty close for timing. Maybe we could aim for having all orders in by Aug 1st? I'd feel better about having 36 of these printed if we had some more committed orders. I wouldn't want anyone left holding the bag having to pay for a bunch of extra shirts if they don't sell.

    Let’s get a new thread going for this too so we can garner some attention to it. I’ll post it up on Red Mosquito too.

    Check your PM for some other questions I had for you too.

    Works for me.....either dark shirts using white lettering or light shirts using black lettering.

    That's what I thought...it's only a $1 different and I don't think we'll know how many we'll need by Friday.

    Well were very close to the Riverside so Ed come on over. Plenty of fine beverages to choose from at Mo's. :D

    Oh all the parties will kick butt. I'm sure more will pop up. I just jumped on this right away. I mean lets admit Ed playing Milwaukee I did not see this coming. But oh so happy it's happening. :D So why not have a great time before and after the show here in Brewtown.

    I think a kick-ass shirt would be to keep the front the same, but on the back have it like a sports jersey with "Ice Bowl" across the back of the shoulders and 00 for a number. Just a thought.

    Cool, did you hear back on the additional cost for printing something on the back?

    And what about 2XL size cost difference?

    I just need to know that and I'll finish the design (we'll go with the 1st one) and make a new thread for this.

    Got another question for ya via PM too.
