WISH Gear

[OregonGirl]

Hi Jean! Hi Dagny! Hi TMC! Hi Sunshine! Nice to see a bunch of other W&D runners here!

Chimera, I don't want to step on your toes at all, but I was thinking it might be fun to have W&D specific WISH gear and I could handle ordering that if you don't want to take on too much. I have experience with bulk swag ordering (though I have not used RaceReady). Can you submit whatever graphics/colors you want and just specify the items? Is there a WISH logo?

That would be AWESOME!

There is a WISH logo, but it is copyrighted and cannot be modified. Here's the post which lists what you can and cannot do with it.

you also need to check with DISboards regarding merchandising rules. Basically, you can't make a profit off anything you order and you'll need specific permission if you vary from our approved logo and use the disboards.com or DIS logos.

The one thought I would offer is that our team color and logo are very distinctive and makes it easy to spot one another along the course. If you start throwing in additional colors, it will be hard to pick you out as a team member.
Also, when we first designed the team shirts, we specifically didn't put individual races on them so that everyone could buy one shirt and use it for any race, instead of having to buy (and order) new shirts for every race.

What would be really cool is to find a vendor where we can have the orders done on an individual basis so folks can order their specific shirt anytime of the year instead of having to do batch orders.

Depending on what they look like, I could be interested. Would need to be a performance material...Dri-FIT, Under Armour, etc.

CafePress does that, but I don't believe they have performance material T-shirts or the like. Would be a great niche to fill though.

Are the WISH shirts performance material?

I am waiting to hear back from the owner at RaceReady on our price for this year's batch.

Awesome!!!

Race Ready is willing to continue the price we've had for a few years now of $21 per shirt. I need to check out shipping prices so I can get a final amount for each shirt to everyone. Additional costs include shipping of the batch, Paypal fees and Priority mail shipping to each individual teammate. When I get the numbers together, I'll get the new order thread posted.

Feel free to look at RaceReady's website for sizing and style info. I cannot emphasize enough, THESE SHIRTS RUN SMALL!! If you have any concerns about size, order up. RaceReady products are sold at running stores across the U.S. so if you have a store near you that carries the shirts, you can stop in and check size and styles.
