After a chat with them for about 20 odd minutes....they can do whatever we like. I asked for a more front and side profile of a HJXZ van which they can do no worries. They recently have a new raglan shirts, long sleeves, tshirt, singlet, hoodie supplier theyre super happy with (great quality shirts).

It will be basically drawn from scratch which will take approx 5hrs to do. Coming in at around $300. Up to 4 colours as theyre screen printed and each screen is $60....so the more colours, the dearer it will be. They can do any lettering around the drawing we want as well. So maybe start thinking of a catch phrase for the club...a little innuendo never hurt anyone

To keep costs down, it could be a white shirt with black sleeves with a black print......or add a few colours and change the colour of the sleeves....its all up to us. The shirts themselves can vary from $20-$35 pending on colours.

Generally adult shirts, male & female, are screen printed....but kids shirts are generally heat pressed....just like the good old days.

As the image becomes a digital one, they can do stickers of the image as well. So theres another merch item.

I guess this will be brought up in the next club meeting anyways, but its just something to think about.

So what do you reckon fellas??
Howdy Ivan. Great stuff.

Sorry Ive been meaning to get a few design ideas drawn up but been busy with work n kids and stuff. Ill have a go at a few ideas before the meeting.

I reckon that sounds good, and that pic of theirs is pretty cool. Nice and retro. I reckon some colour would be great though. I reckon the SANDMAN and the seventies needs colour! I guess with screen printing they need to be block colours and not blended or shades.

Can we just give them the image/design and they do the colour separation?

And maybe one design for club members and one for sale as merch to recoup some costs? Depending on whether that's too expensive or no though? And maybe front and back prints? Although again that might be getting too costly..? I was thinking an image which looks a bit like a seventies rock band t shirt and the back looking a bit like a tour dates print, with an appropriate image like a van on a beach with a setting sun or something....

Anyway... I will have a go at a few ideas too, and I was thinking of something based around one or two of these slogans:

FRONT
Australian SANDMAN Car Club or SANDMAN Car Club
then,

Less torque, more action
Livin in the seventies...
Lifes a beach
Holden on to the dream
Keepin the dream alive
Travelling in style

BACK
Australian summer tour
Endless Summer
Freedom since 1974...
Glamping since 1974
On tour since 1974
Hit the road
Australian Vanclub
Ute van sand man

etc etc.... Something like that....?
Or any other idea for a slogan anybody else might have..

Anyway, Ill get back to ya. Cheers.
