    Denny and I were talking a little the other day about t-shirts for the forum. He was thinking something simple & cheap that we could print up and give away 10 or so on the forum.

    I like the idea of a t-shirt but personally I hate cheap t-shirts. They shrink after a few washings and then just end up in the rag drawer to be used the next time you wash your car.

    I like the idea of approaching someone like Evanem. He's done some great Blazer related t-shirts and has even given a few away here in the forum. I got one of the Dame Time shirts and was impressed with the quality of the actual shirt and the graphics.

    1. You guys interested in a RipCityTwo t-shirt?

    2. Cheap and free?

    3. Something that is a little nicer both in terms of design and quality but would cost $20?


    I have no idea what it would look like. Free is going to be really basic, most likely print only.

    If we decide to go with the nicer shirt we can come up with some graphics and more than one color.

    Also we don't have to use Evanem and I'm not even sure if he would want to do it. If you or you know someone who does shirts we could go in that direction.

    If you have any ideas for graphics, designs and what the t-shirt should say throw it out there.


    Here is Evanem's site - http://evanem.com/

    I'm guessing we'd need a minimum order of at least 20 shirts.

    Thoughts? Ideas?

    tbh i don't really get the 'two' part in the name of this place, i know its linked to sportstwo, but why 'two'?

    i just dont get the 'brand' or maybe im over thinking it and its just a name, in which case its a no anyways as its never really synergised with me.

    dig the people, not the name tbh.

    If your going in the apparel business and making shirts, shorts ect. Not saying I'm going to purchase but I would prefer to pay a little more for nicer design and better quality.

    Im so down. Just have a big red number 2 on them. Except for one emblazed with"The Booze Hound!" and which goes to the guy who gets kicked out of Buffalo Wild Wings. There is so much potential with the S2 crew!

    No, seriously. It sounds like a great idea.

    As the "Trail Blazers Official Message Board", talk to them. They could have some input or even throw something your way that is nice.

    By the way, when does that contract end or renew?

    Nah, we wouldn't be using this to make money.

    Because I already know you guys are cheap bastards.

    Yes something premium using Evanem would be fantastic. I'd be most likely to buy something like that.

    I was going to but I wanted to get so ideas of price, quality and design. The big problem is I don't really think we're talking about that many t-shirts. Blazers deal with t-shirts in 1000s, not the 20 some I think we're talking about.
