RichardWeed 0 #1 March 30, 2004 Heres my issue, there are about 200 different skydiving t's. Of those I would buy and or wear about ten of them. I am new to the sport and have a very good friend who does 3D work for movies and produces commercials etc. Anyway I have convinced him to make some skydiving clothing with me. I need to know what YOU would like to see on the next few shirts produced. You can email your ideas etc to me directly if you wish. Jcarroll@mcwnetworking.com FYI - If we end up sending shirts to press based on YOUR idea you will be compensated. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vertifly 0 #3 March 30, 2004 Gotta agree with head over heals. What we really need are shirts that truly depict what we do up there! The only VRW t-shirt that I'v ever seen looks like the gang from Archie doing a six-way, head-down, with a tube. Who's gonna figure that one out? There are two kinds of T's out there: 1) ones that appeal to the masses. 2) ones that appeal to just skydivers. It is #1 that concerns me the most. We need a shirt that says, straight up: "I fly UPSIDE-DOWN because of the F'N SPEED" with a great pic (a clear one) of a four way head down or something like that. ps - you can have that idea for free. make any money on it, just find me and shake my hand Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flyinghonu 0 #4 March 30, 2004 I'd like to see more chick tees. And not the sissy little butterfly or whatever the hell it is (no offense to anyone who has that shirt ) but something BAD ASS! An all-chick 4 way flying on their heads, etc. I'll buy one "Excuse me while I kiss the sky..." - Jimi Hendrix Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #5 March 30, 2004 No really crappy looking renditions of people jumping, like 100% of the T's that Para-Gear has. No stupid sayings. I don't care about a brand name on it or not. More swooping.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flyangel2 2 #6 March 30, 2004 I agree with you. There are not enough girly tees. The 4-way flying on the head is a great idea, but include RW too. That way, you've covered more bases.May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view.

RichardWeed 0 #8 March 30, 2004 Exactly my thoughts so far..... nothing cheesy but something you, me and the rest of society can understand. The head down 4-way seems to be popular, but would you really buy a T or long sleeve with just a simple ole pic of a 4 way head down? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RichardWeed 0 #9 March 30, 2004 I love it, there seems to be some gender related fun competition. What would you like to see if I were to make a shirt ONLY for the women???? I have already started on the one for the guys. (cause thats easy) I need your input. Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RichardWeed 0 #10 March 30, 2004 No offense to anyone...... however most of the shirts I have seen look like they come straight out of that 70's show. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RichardWeed 0 #11 March 30, 2004 We aren't opposed to making several different designs. I have a TON of talent at my fingertips. I need something I can envision, a description of a picture, a catchy phrase that makes you laugh etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rdy2skydive 0 #12 March 30, 2004 I have a great girl's t-shirt that says - "Does this canopy make my ass look fast?" I love the shirt but it was a little pricey and the quality is pathetic. It would be great to see some cool shirts for women that are well priced and are of decent quality (sans the butterflies). Thanks for asking. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flyangel2 2 #14 March 30, 2004 Go Wear has very cute style of shirts for gals. Contact them and ask where they get those shirts. As for designs, come up with something different that maybe has a chick related topic. Maybe a picture of an all four way or FF girls team.May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view.

bertusgeert 1 #15 March 30, 2004 Cool graphics man, I love 'em. As someone said, there are two types of T's. I want a Shit that can start a conversation with someone, will make them think about skydiving! Another Idea: Have you seen those shirts that people wear on the beach, like old ladies? They have a young body printed on them, they really make you look twice! Now... Make a shirt that has a rig printed on it, to make it look like you are wearing a rig! I'd buy it, when you do it, let me know! By the way, I love the PD shirt that says "my sport ate your sport for breakfast!" What a kickass statement! And what a kickass picture! --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You know the winged tire from the Indy 500 insignia.
