Cruiser Days shirt design

[Fantom]

NEW LOOK for the design,

here you go

 

[canucksafari]

I really like the 45 but maybe you could work in some of the other newer series Cruisers like an HZJ73 or an HJ62 etc...? Just an idea.

 

[Fantom]

Let me get this out of the way right now, I wanted to suggest something else but I was told that we are sticking with the 45 because that's what it has been for the longest time. I am leaving for Europe on May 3rd and have a bunch of stuff to do before I go, and am gone for the entire month. So, that said, since I was told to stick to the 45 - here it is. If everyone wants to do something different, then we all can have a poll as to which truck can be on there, then we can do a new design, once everything is said and done the shirts should be ready for next year.
Which way are we going?
I don't have a problem with doing any of the designs, I just want to know what is going on since all of this does take time.
John, I am not focusing on you - just getting this out before everyone else has a chance to throw in more ideas.

I want one with the 45 on it! And I don't even live in BC any more.

Any chance these will be ready by August? I will be in Youbou for a week!

 

[Granite Grinder]

They need to be ready by July Dave, so August shouldn't be a problem
You'll need to tee up with someone to get one (or two). Are you coming this way?

No probs. Just throwing an ideas out there. Perhaps my idea could wait for next year given the timeline.

 

[Fantom]

This isn't really an option for this year, unless you can wait until after May for me to do it but ideally I would like to see something like this down the road:

 

[Rod McD]

That's almost the right one.WHERE'S THE 40?

 

[Deny]

I like the old one better (ask me why) I like this 45 too.

 

[Fantom]

That's almost the right one.WHERE'S THE 40?

Weren't any on that part of the trip, this was the Bob Lake expedition, later on Sopel, Drew, and I continued to Roche Lake from there and found wicked spots.

 

[Rod McD]

Wasn't the old one your doing Deny?

That is one great pic Matt.It does need a 40 climbin up the hill at a 90 degree from the front corner of your truck.

 

[Deny]

yup

 

[tjflex]

I like the 45 Mat. Personally not crazy about the blue. I've always like red ones.

Can we get the shirts in colours this year? Mabye some XL in Black or dark Green? Tired of white and grey, they get dirty so easily. Useless for wheeling/camping in.

Have fun on trip. Too bad we didn't overlap. You should have done better planning. Lots O photos.

 

[Fantom]

The shirt colours I will leave up to Rob and Phil as they have something figured out.
Phil, will it be a problem to do a batch of shirts with let's say a blue 45 and another with a red 45 on it? are we doing an option like that? or should we do a private forum poll for what colour?

 

[canucksafari]

The colour of your graphics shouldn't blend into the colour of the shirts. You need to choose them at the same time.

 

[Granite Grinder]

Like John says
GG

 

[tjflex]

With the trees, rocks and outline of the truck in black, some shirts in green would work.

 

[Enigma]

camo......

 

[tjflex]

Wow Jeff. Even I didn't think of that.

 

[Fantom]

New look!!!!

So I was not entirely happy with the draft, after many hours in Illustrator I came up with this for the back of the shirt, for those in the graphics biz, many layers, full vector pic and can be changed with minor work. So here is the final design for the back of the shirt:
