T-shirts for the WDW marathon

[wtpclc]

I like DSL or just DL. Agree with Dave on that whole issue. I'd have to tell my mom what it meant and I don't want to go there either. Yes, I am grown up 30+ YO, but still don't want to go there. ;-)

I would rather stay away from dropping WISH and going with DISboards. WISH team is incredibly special and different from many other places on the boards. If it weren't for WISH, I would never have attempted a marathon, let alone finished. I know WISH would not exist w/o DIS, but I've seen pettiness on the other boards that I like to keep separate in my brain from this wonderful and supportive place. JMO.

I do agree that I was a little embarrassed when people assumed we were M-A-Wish, though.

Late night, couldn't sleep brainstorming, so take I havv no idea how these will sound when I'm fully awake, but maybe they will get some creative juices flowing in others.

Team WIM - Standing for WISHers Inspiring Marathoners

I know, still not as cool as WISH, but we'd know what it stood for.

I deas for the back, although I do love DSL>DNF>>DNS

Stepping our way through the World (Paying homage to our wonderful Ms. Lily and her reminding us to put in the steps)

That could be under the math equation too.

I'll keep thinking. Everyone else do the same. You just never know what idea may strike others as great.

Last note: ALthough otehrs wore lime, it was NOT the safety lime we had. Going through the pics, I'd know our lime. It was unmistakeable. (I think that's becausee it was from a safety supply house.) So, although I could do orange or anythign else bright, I think we stood out fairly well in the green we had.

Hi Carrie, I didn't think we were suggesting dropping WISH for DISboards. If that's the case, I agree with you as well. I would never, ever want to suggest dropping WISH from the T-shirt. That's how I identify myself and this team too. I was thinking that DISboards would be in addition to WISH to try to clarify who we are a little better. Maybe underneath WISH or on the back or something.

Let me think of what other "f" word we could say that is.......



I'll get back to ya.

[Honeibee]

Dead flat last????

 

[wtpclc]

Another random thought....

What if we put WISHboards on the front instead of WISH? Can't imagine that would confuse anyone.

 

[WDWFAN9]

or....

WISHer on the front. I liked the size of the front design, it was very noticeable.

 

[chimera]

from the shirt, a question...

mp3 players are not allowed? that's nuts.

When we designed the shirts, headphones were listed as prohibited. Once we all got our packets in Nov, the official marathon info said they were only discouraged, but we'd already ordered the shirts by then. Interestingly, the info for the Minnie currently says prohibited.

I love the differential equation that we're considering . My vote is for

DL>DNF>>DNS

I think that adequately gets the message across without offending everyone, especially since DD13 wants to do the half in 2007.

And we could spell it out on the back, kinda like last year's shirts...

DL>DNF>>DNS

Dead Last is better than
Did Not Finish which greatly trumps
Did Not Start

Then just revise last year's marathon weekend logo with 2007 and the new dates.

 

[AmyBeth68]

I wholeheartedly agree with Mel.

And....I really like putting the equation on the front and then spelling it out on the back! Great Idea!!!


And one more thought.....if you guys think to keep it flowing you need three letters you could put...

DLF (Dead Last Finish)

DLF>DNF>>DNS

 

[AmyBeth68]

Oh, and one more thought then I'll shut up (for a little while )

What if on the front it was....

W. I. S. H.

Utilizing the spaces and periods might signify that it is an acronym (is that the right word) instead of an affiliation with Make A Wish. Just my 2 cents!

 

[Honeibee]

I totally agree with Mel's suggestions too!

[Mouse Skywalker]

OK, here's an idea I had for the front of the shirt. I know we would need to get approval to use the DISboards logo, but I just through it on there as an idea. I was thinking we could have Sunny's runners in the space between the WISH and feather and date. Again, this is just a quick first stab at a shirt idea, and I want this to be a group/team effort so any and all comments are appreciated.

 

[wtpclc]

DH had an idea over the weekend.

CDL>DNF>>DNS

CDL - Chip and Dale Last. Chip & Dale escort the last runner/walker over the line, so it's the most dead last you can get.

 

[Tiger Lily 03]

DLF (Dead Last Finish)
DLF>DNF>>DNS

Ohhh, I think that would work.

Dave, I like the idea of the logo. If we can't get the ok from whomever it is we need (Pete?) to use the logo, at least the DISboards.com at that place would certainly work for me.

I also like spelling out the DLF...stuff on the back. Great! ideas.

I wonder if there will be others who liked our lime green shirts enough to scoop them. It is definitly a shirt that was easily recognizable from the distance.

 

[Tiger Lily 03]

I'm checking about the DISboards logo use. As soon as I have a reply I will let you know.

Thanks Lily. I'm curious to hear what you find out about using the DISboards logo.

Carrie- I like the idea of CDL (Chip and Dale last). It's cute and fits with the Disney theme. So do Chip and Dale always escort the last finisher?

 

[magslite]

Dave,

Thanks for taking on this project! I can't wait to wear an official team shirt!

I love the ideas of the back and spelling it out. I understand your concern with the language used. Not that I haven't used it in the past, but if we can avoid the connotation, it would be better!

I agree on avoiding to much mfm reference. I do follow his plan, but we need to stick to what we all have in common.

Thanks again!
Maggie

Dave - I believe C&D always finish wiht the last runner, but I've only seen it once. May need a veteran's input here.

 

[plutosmyfav]

I love Lily's rework of the DFL to DLF.

As for the DISboard logo, we may have trouble with the mickey head. Printers won't touch anything that resembles a Disney logo. But I hope it works!

You know. There is a board here on the DIS that specializes in different shirts. I wonder if one of them would be willing to help us out as far as designing the shirts. Also, as far as printing!! I can actually do the shirts myself. Let me know what you think.

It looks like they actually did some designs for Liz.

I think Sunny did an awesome job for us last year, though.

Do you screen print? One of the printing issues was the fact that wicking material must be screen printed. If that's something you can do, that'd be great. WIll you ship them out to everyone too? That's a somewhat large job (not that I'm complainign in any way shape or form). To ship them from the source to you and then from you to Dave would be costly.

Not trying to be negative. It would be great if you could do it for us. Just want to be sure you know what could be involved.
