You don't have to buy a thing or mail a thing----just set it up and they do all the work and you make a few dollars in the process.

PLEASE>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>!!!!!!!!!!

I know it's a little late in the game---but I think I need a T-shirt for my nights of withdrawls to comfort me. :)

For the umpteenth time, the logo will not work for T-shirts. Until someone voluntarily re-creates the logo in a larger, pixelated format, T-shirts are a no go. Please see the 'Message Area' for more information.

I would love to create T-shirts, but it just hasn't come together, I'm sorry. And now it seems to be a little late...

I can get the logo re-created so that it will work for T-shirts (I have direct experience with this type of thing). However, before a lot of time goes into this, it'd be nice to see just how many people would still seriously want a T-shirt at this stage of the game.

Admin, could we leave this thread going and have it poll to see what real interest there is so that we know if it's a worth while venture? It might be better to keep this thread here, in the General section, as it will be seen by more fans.. not all browse through the other sections very often.

If BB2 does happen, and it does look like a good possibility, then we'd be set for it! :-)

So what's the real interest?

Administration---did you go to the site I provided and take a look at what they need. All you need to do is upload a gif, jpeg or bmp file to them and decide what to sell----come on !!!!

Their cost is $12.99 for t-shits and you can set the selling price to whatever you wish---make a buck or make 5 bucks per shirt---PLEASE!!!!!!!

You don't have to do anything but provide them with a pic---it is a NO-BRAINER and you don't have to pay out a penny. They do all the work !!!!

Even if you sell just 10 T-shirts or coffee mugs or mouse-pads--what;s the harm---it will give us something to comfort us poor Big Brotherless souls on cold dark winter nights.

That website is interesting, I'll bookmark it.

Unfortunately, I don't know if the interest is there anymore, maybe for the TV ClubHouse there is though?

The current BBFC logo does not have the righr DPI to print well onto anything, even paper. Try it out. (my printer isn't working right now) If you read on the that website about picture quality, they will tell you that if it doesn't look good printed at the size you want on paper, it won't look on cotton either. :-(

Oh poopoo---just sign up a store and see what happens---let them worry about it.

They don't have any minimum purchase requirements---so if only one person buys a t-shirt or coffee mug--great. It is also set up that you can make some money on referrals---if anyone else opens a store from clicking from your store--you get paid that way too.

Admin....You are right about the printing of the logo. Might I suggest that it be done professionally for printing and then resized for internet use.

Since I've had experience in this field for over 35 years, I will be glad to donate my time and what little talent I have for redoing the artwork for you. If you'll just email what you have now, I'll go ahead and start on it.

You can go ahead and do a poll on BBFC, TV Clubhouse, or a combination of both.

Let me know.

CafePress is a first-rate operation. They handled the sales of all the "www.BanishGeorge.com" T-shirts. When I ordered mine I thought it would take at least a week. It reached my mailbox within 3 days of my order. A BBFC T-shirt is a great idea. And now that George is (finally!) outta the House, I could use another memento of my favorite show. Thanks for re-opening discussion of the idea to the BBFC honchos, Battlestar!

I'd buy both BB t-shirt, and TVClubhouse t-shirt. I like t-shirts, I collect t-shirts, I live in t-shirts...

Ricmunoz: what quality was your banishgeorge.com T-shirt and how much did it cost you? Were you happy with it?

I have a decent sized logo now, thanks to a generous and very talented BBFC user!

Admin: Just checked this thread; sorry for the delay in responding. The shirt's total price (including shipping, handling and Calif. sales tax) was $20.56. I think the base price was $14.99. It is a white Hanes "Beefy-T" 100% pre-shrunk cotton and the reproduction of George's face from the "official" BB2000 site is pretty sharp; the big red 'banish' circle around his face is even sharper. I feared it would be cheesy (I was more interested in supporting the cause), but it's really a nice shirt. In the immortal words of Delia, "Hope this helps."

Admin, I would be happy to make a vector image of your logo. I'd just need the best bitmap of it that you have for the trace and separations.

My husband also has some expertise in textiles. We can probably get the shirts done at cost.

If you've already got it covered ... well, then I want one!! :)

I would buy one with the new TV Clubhouse logo. (gray) Count me out if you order the Beefy T's, however. Bleeck.

I have had T-shirts printed for many things over the years...and bought many. You want to order enough so it pays to have them silk screened, unless you do not mind the logo being stiff.

I would not reccomend the Hanes Beefy-T. It is too thick. It never loosens up or becomes friendly. It doesn't hang, no matter how many times you wash it. It just sits there and looks at you kinda funny. It's like a friend that you sometimes cross the street to avoid because it can be a chore to communicate. You wear it when all others are in the hamper.

The T-shirt you always reach for, the favorite one, the soft, old pal, is ALWAYS the one that drapes beautifully and feels comfortable and worn.

Most companies offer Gildan. That is a great one and my favorite. If you get Hanes or Fruit of the Loom, the lightest weight they offer is the best.

ALL the lighter weights are good quality and durable. Thicker does not mean better. Thicker means stiffer and bulky in the arm pits. When tucked they don't droop around the waist, they stick out. When worn outside they hang slightly away from your body. (they probably want to cross the street too.)

I live in T-shirts and jeans. Can you tell I am a conisseur? And I bet you already know I don't favor stiff logos. ...:)...
