Miataturbo.net T Shirts *gauging interest*
 

Like the title says, I'm looking to see if there would be any interest in mt.net Tshirts. I have a legitimate screen printing setup going right now, and have been slowing getting my business rolling here in my town.. mostly doing tourist and ski apparel. As of right now I can only do one color prints, but most likely by spring I will be able to do 5 color prints. I'm not trying to make big profit here.. I just want to provide the community with some apparel we can be proud of, and make it worth my time.

The Tshirts themselves would be much nicer quality(thicker, softer, fitted), with much cooler/larger/better quality prints than any of the Cafepress shirts. Most the prints I have done basically cover the front of the shirt, I really like big prints on shirts. I can also do any weird side/sleeve/back prints as well.

The price will be around $12 shipped each if I can get enough interest to make them at all. To make it worth my while I would need at least 15 or so interested in buying.

Now onto the design, so far my favorite idea is to have a breakdown of the bp/b6 block with a rather large turbo hanging off, then maybe miataturbo.net on the back tail of the shirt.

Like so, but with a miata intake manifold etc instead of the b6t one.

(If anyone has a blueprint like this of an actual miata motor, let me know!)

Again this is why I am asking you guys, maybe we should have a contest, and ill print the winners shirt? Keep in mind when designing your idea that these shirts must be one color prints.

Let me know what you think. Also any ideas/etc please just post up in this thread. If there is any interest in this, in the future I can also print hoodies, bandannas, beanies, sweatshirts, crotchless panties(hustler?), etc.

I'm in.

Yes. I want this.

I'm in. I'm way too lazy to dig up my printing setup for one shirt.

Interested.

i'm in.

+1

Down for at least 2.

+2 in

I'll buy one if it says

http://www.miataturboner.com

In for one....maybe two

In.

in

only because you asked what we think:

I think it needs to be awesome or dont bother. i've turned more so-so tshirts with some small junk on the front breast and some big junk on the back into rags than I can count.

get some ideas from threadless or whatever and see what is hip before starting your design.

a tshirt is not just free advertisement for this site, it's a statement about style and stuff.

In

Exactly. Thanks for the input, I couldn't agree more. I wont be taking any money until I have one printed and a picture of the actual shirt here. And before I even burn the screen to print the shirt, I'm going make sure everyone likes it. Like I said I'm not trying to print some BS just to make money, I personally want a badass mt.net shirt.

Now, more suggestions please!

I was really hoping I could find a blueprint diagram of a miata BP like the one I posted above, then I could shop in the turbo.

I agree. I'd be happy to wear an MT shirt ... but I think a big picture of an engine is kind of lame. On the other hand, I haven't got any better ideas.

It doesn't matter what it looks like as long as the back reads:

Hustler
4
President

I'm in if it's awesome.

I'm in.

Come up with a better idea than an engine and I'm in. How about one with a bunch of cats on it? :laugh: Meowataturbo dot net

How about something with a turbo on it. Or an engine with a turbo. Or something dealing with churbo's:D
We're all about turbo's in here. Our engine's are not exactly engineering marvels like a honda with crazy VTAK :giggle: or something like that, so a shirt promoting miataTURBO.net would make sense with a turbo on it

this site is far more then a resource for turbo info

id be in pending shirt design.

Well obviously. But a large portion of it is dedicated to turbocharging.

I'd prefer it to not be a car related graphic. I think it's too glaring: Hey everyone look at me, I have a turbo. Maybe just Mt.net instead of miataturbo.net? That's just me though.

I understand what you mean 18psi, thats why I was thinking a bp with a turbo hanging off of it.

Although I'm completely open to any ideas you guys have. It could be a huge turbo with miataturbo.net written inside the compressor inlet or something.
Ill come up with some rough designs and we can go from there.

You guys, please if you have any ideas come forward.

Me want :)

IN and I was thinking miataturbo.net across the chest and a huge turbo on the back

what about "miataturbo.net, turning money into smoke and noise" or "RIP Money."

Don't forget to include COPS in the pic!

In IFF no kitties on it. I'd pay $12 even for something simple with just miataturbo.net & the logo on it, but that's just me. I want color choice, white makes me look pasty.

I had done some a while back....

MiataTurbo.net

^^^THIS

The inside joke sets it off. But wearing it around Houston people would probably think it's some kind of Obama-derogatory deal...and I'd get beat up by a crowd of folks in their "Commander in Chief" t-shirts.




GTFO and stop your belly-achin'




The hats are cool...shirts are pretty generic.



I'd be in for a new shirt if it was cool.

I love my MS...but there's a reason I don't have one of their t-shirts.

Im

^^^^^

noooooooooo

I'm down. As long as it doesn't reek of message board geek :-P

If I like them, I'll take two.

"MiataTurbo.net - Making faggy guys feel tough since 2003"

I was thinking pink shirt with miataturboner.net on it.

Turbo Miata is NOT gay | Spreadshirt

I forget who put that design up there, but I got drunk and bought one 2 years ago.

it was my design with Soot's stupid trying-to-hard text.

you are welcome :)

^^^^ lol :laugh:

I want to see a design first

ooh I like the self deprecation there.

miataturbo.net
not gay at all


and like a picture of a kitty and a turbo.


edit: or maybe

miataturbo.net
because boost and kitties are awesome.

!!Y E S!!

I really liked Scotts design with just the logo/turbo.

im still wondering whats up with us and cats... i think we have more cats then turbos on this board.

I have two :fawk:

I like that

one large picture of this on the back :greddy:

So you figure a "Hello Kitty" holding a turbo?

I'm in for the turbo "skull & bones" above, w/o wording, in red on a black shirt (and sweat shirt if you have them) with "MIATATURBO.NET" on the back across the shoulder line.

I'd consider the engine blueprint, but am not quite sold yet...

- L

I would also be down pending a pic. of the final design. I think a giant engine would be a tad bid flashy...it would look like one of those shirts that just have a giant face on them that hood nagas tend to wear. Maybe just a simple turbo and Mt.net. Simple is always better when it comes to...well...everything.

I love it when you come along and spice up a thread.

this or a bunch of cats and I'm so down.

I like this idea, but with a better looking turbo and instead of cross bones, some forged rods crossed.

2nd that suggestion^^^^^^^^^^^^^

That sounds awesome

Forged rods definetely :winner:
