Nice job.


As somebody that learned on gravel and transitioned to pavement, I have to go along with Yellowmaule on this one. Great graphic, though. Can I get it on a bugshirt? How 'bout a polar survival suit? Whatever it ends up being, you know we'll snap 'em up. Thanks for your work on it.

Just another idea, how about putting that cool plane/tree graphic on the BACK of the shirt, and using our homepage header graphic over the left breast, where the little alligator is supposed to go??

I agree with denalipilot. The new picture should be on the back, maby slightly larger, and the original logo should be on the front. I believe you will sell as many as you can make. Will it only be in green or do you think you might offer some white ones as well?

Well put whatever new logo you come up with on the front and the big pic on the back. So there there. Haha :mrgreen:

I agree with Renegade and Denalipilot too. Graphic on back and logo on front. Don't forget us bigger (3XL) pilots :lol:

Oh, what about hats? Do you plan to sell hats in the near future?

HeyZane

Don't want to muddy the waters here, but I prefer mine on the front. Lot of times I'm wearing a sweatshirt or jacket, and that covers anything on the back. Maybe an iron on. It could be put anywhere, on any shirt. :lol:

Anyways, like most, I'll be happy with whatever you do.

Thanks Gary

If you want to go up, pull back on the controls. If you want to go down, pull back farther.

Have you looked into cafepress.com? With all of these different random ass requests, you can have something to please *almost* everyone, without spending tons of $$$ on inventory only a few are interested in. Most of their stuff is heat transfer (for the clothing at least), so the quality isn't the greatest, but still better than selling iron ons. For the items sure to get lots of orders (t-shirts), you could have your own batch done somewhere locally, and the quality will be better.

Just a thought, might be worth looking into.

Just curious

What's the difference between heat transfer, and iron ons?

Thanks Gary

You'll get what you get, and like it!

Transfers and iron ons don't last long in the laundry. I swear, my dad wears his BCP shirt every 4th or 5th day with a laundering in between. The shirt is thrashed but the silk screening is still pretty strong.

That said, the quality and crispness of the silk screen process don't look that sharp. A heat transfer might just look better.

I think some folks need to spend more time flying and less time worrying about their wardrobes. You guys are funny!!!

I think they look great, whatever you come up with is cool with me.

Hey, I do apologize if I'm one of the guy's stirring up some of the muddy water's. But I kind of thought that these forums are for chit chatting and tossing around idea's. What ever you come up with, I'm sure it will be great! Trust me, I'm no picky guy myself (I'm a bachelor and dress like one!). Just thought I'd throw some idea's out there. Also, I'm getting plenty of flying in while I'm home (when there weather is good) and having a blast everytime I go up! That's all I'm trying to do in life, is to have fun every chance I get! :D

I agree with the previous sentiments about ditching the "Goodbye Pavement" words (they're a visual distraction) and just going with the graphic and logo.

Besides, you rarely leave pavement with your itty bitty tires. This will help keep you from sliding into postmodern moral relativity... :D

I love the new design.

< In my best hoidy-toidy voice >

As a fine T-shirt connoisseur with impeccable taste, (yeah right) I must say that the coolest t-shirts have something on front and back. I like the idea of a new logo on front with a large pic on the back. 100% cotton is a given.

I know all these demands would cost extra but I am willing to pay for that.

:D
