T-shirts for the WDW marathon

[plutosmyfav]

Yes I have last year's design. I would really like to see our "back" brainstormed before we move ahead with this years'. PM me with an email address and I'll send you last years design in jpeg form.

Just a thought....

using Sunny's design -

on the front of the shirt, in place of the year, could we have disboards.com? I know I would like to have the shirt for Chicago in August, DL in Sept, and WDW in Jan (if I ever make up my mind what I am doing in Jan), so any mention of the year would limit the shirt. Like I said, just a thought!

I'm doing the DL 1/2 in September, and it would be great to have a DIS shirt to wear.....I still wear my "We will not be swept" from the Wishwalkers 2005 1/2 marathon at WDW.

Dave, Thanks for volunteering.

No apologies necessary at all Liz. You got the ball rolling! We're all in this together.

Dave- Thank you so much for taking this on. Sunny is the bomb when it comes to designs. She should definitely be involved in the design. I recommend coming up with 2 or 3 different designs and letting everyone comment on them. The green shirts last year were very bright. We got them from alertshirts.com. I wonder if we could go with a white shirt with bright lime green letters instead of the lime green shirt. Just a thought.

 

[plutosmyfav]

I like the idea of adding disboards.com to the shirt. I would like to keep the year as well. We'll get brainstorming on designs soon. We may be able to do both white and safety yellow (lime greenish). I loved the neon yellow. I can't tell you how many people commented on my "bright" shirt. The CMs gave me a hard time in the parks which was fun, too! I got a lot of "could you turn that down???"

We also need to start thinking about the back. What words really capture "us"? Maybe we should have a thread just for brainstorming ideas? This thread might get a bit cluttered with all shirt details. Just a thought

Hey guys, I know we were thinking of starting a new thread for the T-Shirt wording but I wanted to say that ....I really love what W.I.S.H. stands for.

Something like "We're Inspired" or playing on that. I just love the whole inspiration theme of Wish Boards. Just my 2 cents LOL!

I just wanted to say that I agree with Sunny about the neon yellow/lime greenish shirts. I know when I was running races about 10 years ago you just blend in with the crowd if you wear white. There are so many people wearing white shirts. I always tried to wear a bright and different color so my DW could see me and pick me out of the crowd. I really would like to get the lime green shirts so we stand out, and our cheering sections can see us coming.

I like the lime green. In 2005 my shirt was white and DH had trouble picking me out.

The lime green is easy to pick out in the photos (the professional photos taken on mass at the start, finish and inbetween) as well.

Here's photos of my shirt from 2006. Carrie came up with the saying for the back, then Sunny designed the logos and Carrie ordered the shirts. We had short sleeve and tank top options and I believe they're some derivative of coolmax. I also like the neon for the precise reasons that Rachael mentioned...it's also easy to find each other during the race, which makes it nice when you're starting to hit the wall. Cam pointed out that there were a couple other teams with the neon green last year, so maybe we need some obnoxious orange color

The shirts didn't come with our names...I bought iron-on letters at Walmart. I don't think anyone actually saw my WISH shirt during the half...it was buried under 6 other layers

Here's the front logo. The final version was all black (no green runners) but I can't seem to find it.

Here are a couple of others I suggested but we opted not to go with multi color print.

Oops, I can only find one... I know there were at least 3-4 designs. I'll keep searching. I'd lose my head if it wasn't screwed on!

I would like to try out some new ideas incorporating the inputs we've gotten so far.

from the shirt, a question...

mp3 players are not allowed? that's nuts.

Hello Team: I was logging into the DISboards, and noticed that they have a very nice logo. Maybe we could ask the moderators (or whomever we should ask) if we could put the logo below somewhere on the shirt.

 

[Honeibee]

Dave, thats an excellent idea. Is it Pete we should ask? I'm not sure....

I was also thinking about what someone said about using "Waddle on". As much as I love JB, I suppose that was right, that not all people are following his training plans, so maybe we shouldn't use it.

Also, I have to say, I am getting to really love DFL>>DNF>>DNS. Anyone else want that on the shirts? Although...fat chance of this, but I wouldn't want to be mistaken to a tri-athelete, now would I?

Let me know if I can be of any help to you on this project.

When we did the DIS-CON events a couple of years ago, we did have to get permission to use the DIS logo. I believe it was from Pete.

As for the DFL>DNF>>DNS, that is so appropriate for me! I love it! Makes me feel a lot better about my own pace.

Judy, I wuld LOVE to be mistaken for a triathlete! Not much chance of that for me with this body, but ya never know!

 

[plutosmyfav]

I love the idea of the DIS logo and the DFL>>DNF>>DNS ideas.
I think the later should definitely be on the back. I also want to brainstorm a way to put a hidden mickey on the shirt. We know we're not allowed to use any Disney trademark but hidden mickeys could go undetected

Hmmmm, good idea about the hidden mickey. I'll have to think about that one. OK, I need to express something. While I really like the DFL>>DNF>>DNS, I have trouble putting DFL on the shirt. Here's why, and I know I'm going to sound like a prude. I don't know how to explain DFL to my princesses, DD8 and DD5 , in a non-censored way. I know I can say dead friggin' last or dead freaking last, but we all know what that is referring to really. I am not usually sensitive to language, but I want it to be something I can feel good about wearing around the kids. OK, I know I may be the minority here, but it's just my opinion.

You mean DFL is NOT dead freaking' last ...oh my, I guess I am showing my age! Umm, could we just have DL>DNF>>DNS?

And a question about having Disney characters on the shirt...the design forum has all types of Disney stuff on their shirts. I read somewhere that was ok as long as they didn't make money on the shirts they made. Is it because we want to have an outside source produce the shirts that we can't have any official Disney designs? The disboard.com logo has a nice hidden mickey. Would that work?

 

[AmyBeth68]

Pat....

I like your idea of DL>DNF>>DNS

I thought of using DSL, meaning Dead Stinkin' Last which definitely loses the "f" connotation. However.....then it looks like it has something to do with computer dial up . So that won't work .

As for the hidden mickey on the Disboards logo...ummmmm....thanks for pointing that out. I NEVER noticed it. Call me clueless!!
