T-shirts for the WDW marathon

[escape]

I'm new to all of this and I am really looking forward to walking/running/crawling in the 1/2 marathon at WDW in 2007.

Just curious - when it gets a little closer to the marathon, does everyone order special WISH or some other type of t-shirts?

Last year, we had shirts specific to the 2006 marathon. This year, I think LizDotCom is working on a generic shirt that can be worn anytime. Last I knew we were waiting for approval to use some Penguin stuff. (waddle on, etc..)

Carrie,

I am pretty sure Liz posted that she had to back off from organizing the shirts. I don't think anyone has stepped up and volunteered.

Hi Pat: Funny you should mention that - I sent a PM to Liz this weekend asking her if she would mind if I take over the shirts. I didn't want to step on her toes at all, and she said that would be fine. So I'll take over organizing the shirts. I figure I can do the shirts and socks both.

Wow Dave! you are a glutton for punishment! Juts kidding. EVeryone was wonderful last year with the shirts! I have info on where we got them last year. PM me when you're ready for that.

Yay! Dave, you are great for doing this. I understand that THE Penguin himself is ok with using the stuff as long as no profit is made from it. So we should be good to go with whatever we decide.

Note to whomever: As for design, I might like to humbly sugest that we put more than DIS WISH on the shirst since many asked me if it was "Make a Wish" that I was representing. I think somewhere it might be good to put DISboards.com on our stuff maybe? Otherwise, it would be OUR stuff; we know who we are and can do what we want. I enjoyed many conversations b/c of our shirts for sure explaining who/what we are.

I actually think the 2006 design was great! We could see ourselves from quite a distance for sure.

Yeah - Thank you Dave!

Dave - You rock!!! Thanks so much for having the ambition to tackle this project also. It is so nice to have shirts for the marathon.

Dave,

Awesome!! Just a suggestion....while I am a huge MFM fan and love my Penguin/courage-to-start shirt from Columbus, there is a sizeable group of WISHers who don't follow John Bingham's training program and might prefer a shirt without a penguin reference. Lord knows I will never be more than a penguin, but there are a whole lot of you are. What does everyone think?

And I am with Lily about a reference to the dis boards. I really like the DFL>DNF>>DNS that someone posted earlier, that would be really cool on a shirt.

Just let me know the details - I can't wait!!

Thanks Dave! You are definitely the BMOD (Big Man on Disboards ) You must be a great organizer!

I'm in for whatever design is decided on. I've gotten quite a few comments about the 2006 shirts.

Yeah Dave! Thanks for picking up the shirt organization!!! I know Liz got swamped and couldn't continue. So now I'm so excited that you were kind enough to offer to help us. If there's anything I can do to help, just let me know.

And thanks again!!! You're the best!!

 

[lilouisianagal]

Yay! Thanks Dave!

ps. what does DFL>DNF>>DNS mean?

 

[xterratri]

Thanks for stepping up Dave!

Claire- Dead friggin last beats out Did not finish and both greatly trump Did Not Start. It's a common sentiment on a triathlon board I frequent. It's another way of phrasing "the courage to start..."

DAVE ROCKS!!! Thanks! Hope I get to meet you at the Marathon because you are so energetic and motivating!!

 

[escape]

Thanks, Dave!!!

DFL>DNF>>DNS

I love it!

 

[Mouse Skywalker]

DAVE ROCKS!!! Thanks! Hope I get to meet you at the Marathon because you are so energetic and motivating!!

Thanks for the sentiment everyone. I wish I was so energetic and motivated about work right now thought... I'll start to get organized about the t-shirts in the next week or so.

Hey Dave that is awesome

Thank you so much for doing this, it is a huge job I am sure.

Thanks, Dave!

I agree with Lily that it needs to be clearly different than "make a wish".

If you need any design assistance, I'd be happy to help. I was a graphic designer in a previous life... (I also did the design last year).

Personally, I would like the official WISH T-shirt for marathon weekend to not have any obvious reference to penguins or waddle on, but a subtle (like the feather last year) would be great. JMO

I hear you all about the penguin references on the t-shirt. Who has the marathon shirt design from last year? Sunny do you have it? If so, can you send it to me. From the pictures I've seen, I really like the design from last year. It seemed simple and elegant.

Dave - Thank you so much for taking on this task
