LAN clothing discussion - Shirts or Hoodies

[Colonel Mitch]

We'll the time is getting near and its time to start dealing with this.

Post your thoughts on either hoodies or shirts for LAN.

Bear in mind that the hall is always hot enough to not want to wear a hoodie comfortably, tho then again if its a decent quailty hoodie you could wear it without a shirt and it would be ok I guess.

most of the hate shirts seem to be getting is that we all have them xD

At the end of the day we can order shirts and hoodies if thats what people want which shouldnt be a problem.

Im not sure how much they cost right now but i would guess the shirt would be something like £15-20 and hoodie £25-30. (for custom names and maybe a personal slogan and sponsor logo(s)).

Ill also look into costs for more customization eg say marshy wanted a protos logo on the sleves or something.

Anyway post thoughts :)

I am working on actual pricing for hoodies right now, have emailed a company requesting a quote.

[Chalex4]

Comedy hats? Hoodies should be good though, I have about 10 ATK shirts :P. Could be hot hot though.

I can see that it might be but TBH I would have thought that if you get to hot and jsut dont wear a shirt it should be fine, also more room for air so less sweat ^^

[Target]

Water proofs are prob better for our weather

[Colonel Mitch]

Okay some news.

For custom hoodies with ATK logo on the front, novint on the back and your name in print (in the colour Red)-

If we order 15+ it would be £18.50 each.

Im finding out how much for less.

What do people think of this.

[tiny2tom]

sounds gewd

[Chalex4]

Except we won't be having Novint on the back, and will of course replace it with someone else.

Also, Mitch, what's the base design of the hoodies?

NB. I still love Novint, but let's have a change from their falcons this time :).

Its a red hoodie if thats what you mean by base design lol.

What are we going with if not novint? I was intending to email some companies this week about sponsorship otherwise but novint are quite a unique thing to have.

[Calneon]

I'd rather put the money towards a TL shirt or something rather than a hoddie I wouldn't wear.

[Target]

I def want a hoody I spend 90% of the time at the pc in a hoodie so thats why I want one, have like 6 ATK shirts and very very rarely wear them. Also if by some miracle theres is actually heat then just take it off at pc and put it back on later

[VoX]

Not fussed whatever we get tbh.

[CILLIT BANG]

i vote for atk condoms think they would go down a storm ... they would have to be reusable ofc

[Fungum]

+1 for that XD

[Bear]

those would have to be "man-doms" since there is no regular intercourse possible at LAN

[Chazlene]

Everyone have a look around on this site and link any designs you like, and I'll use them for inspiration for the hoody design: http://www.behance.net/

Good or bad? :(

[Colonel Mitch]

Good or bad? :(

I like the idea, but i do think there is too much goin on on it :P

[Chalex4]

Nice one Chaz! Looks very cool. Would agree with Mitch though, that my eye doesn't really know where to look first. It's pretty busy.

Whatever the design I think the ATK letters should be the most prominent. I'm actually not too fussed with the "gaming community" text being there at all. In fact, I think I'd rather have the URL there, so people know where to go. Or is that a bit OTT?

EDIT: One more thing, if you removed the "est 2006 intendo etc.." part, that might fix the problem too.

[Joe]

The URL idea may be slightly OTT, but could look pretty cool if done well, like if the ATK was emphasized or something? Also Love the WASD compass idea Chaz :D

[Bear]

this works , use it ?
forums gfx always change anyway so why not use it ?

I really like the nautical theme kinda A+F, im pretty nifty with a needle and was thinking if we had hoodies i could make patches to be stiched on at LAN if anyone wants one just say i need numbers and ill whi up a protoype tommorrow if anyone likes the idea.

I ATTENDED YOUNG EMBROIDERS GUILD THE ONLY MALE THERE DON'T JUDGE ME AND LETS BE HONEST EVERYBODY KNOWS IM GAY ANYWAY.

Y NO BULLET COLOUR!!!!

[Chazlene]

Y NO BULLET COLOUR!!!!

We having multiple colours this time?

[Colonel Mitch]

We having multiple colours this time?
We can do its not that much more.

Make both designs, if we get sponsors to pay towards it we get multicolored

[Chalex4]

Liking this one more Chaz! The ATK spacing works nicely too. Colour would be interesting to see, but I quite like the white atm.

The only thing I'm not 100% on is the "intendo occidere". Someone should think of something witty to put there instead :D.

[Bear]

Cause you're never to old ?

[Bear]

why not put what ATK stands for instead of nintendo occidizers ?

[Bear]

i got it ....


224

[Joe]

Looking sick Chaz

[Marshy]

Looks good, but yeah i kinda want some black and red, make it look a bit better (fabric this is not the logo)

[Chazlene]

228

Finding it hard to make the design look more 'gamey', can anyone think of any simple symbols or whatever I could use so people can recognise it's to do with gaming?

[laser]

a keyboard entwined in a mouse looking all sexy and scroll-like

[Calneon]

Really?

[Chalex4]

Haha I think that's actually quite an interesting idea :p. Quite hard to think of non-generic things...what about pixels, or retro-style graphics. Cal, is there anything interesting from a game development angle that could be an interesting theme? I'm thinking of something like wireframe maps, player models or physics testing.

Another note, I'm not a fan of the having "Aim to Kill" on there as we want to be known as ATK really.

[Bear]

how bout a pirate skull n bones thing , but with a snipergun and a sword instead of the bones and maybe a headset on the skull or summin ?

229 add some bones in the form of whatever else got to do with gaming maybe ?

[Colonel Mitch]

I think the bones thing is a bit too generic and unoriginal

[laser]

CALNEONS OPINIONS TOO FUCKING STRONG

how about the master sword or some megaman shit

[Fungum]

Umm... we've already got a logo if you haven't noticed...

[Chazlene]

Thoughts on making the design similar to this? One of the only good gaming team shirt designs I've seen:

[Chalex4]

I like the simplicity of it, yeah.

[Marshy]

I love that style chaz, make it so

[Chazlene]

Just altered the design slightly at Chalex's request, edited in original post.

It actually looks kind of nicer when the wasd is faded cause it draws more attention to the centre piece :)

Yeah well the main changes were changing Aim to Kill to just ATK, and at i46 to at the I-series, hopefully the printing company have the right colours so the white part stands out enough.

[Calneon]

WASD still looks rather bad IMO.

[laser]

ARE YOU FOR REAL PHANTOM, if you can think of something better why dont you just shit it out onto a piece of paper
