Okay, I want to have shirts printed but before I do that I want to know how many people would be interested in a globalmma.com t-shirt.

If we would sell the t-shirts at $15 to $20 (depends on how many people want one) inclusive of shipping costs would you buy one?

The shirts will be white with a big globalmma.com sign on the front. The design is like this http://members1.chello.nl/~j.brouwer1/globallogo2.jpg

Please select yes or no in the poll.

That's sweet. I was thinking it was going to be gay and only be big block letters of globalmma.com

as mentioned before, i recommend putting the tribal on one side and the site name on the other. it's too distracting how you have it.

btw.....if dogg doesn't print these ****ing shirts by next week then i'll personally do it.

Printing shirts on 2 sides will be way more expensive.... About the text serounding the tribal we can always change that but it is just a general design to give people an impression of what to expect.

That shirt design is ****ing gay

Tribal on the front with the lettering to the side, lettering across the upper-middle back. Different ****ing font, too!!!! That **** looks horrible!!! Use the font that the site's logo uses!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The font needs to be consistent on our site and our shirts.

I will figure the exact design out later but the tribal is a fact and it will be printed on the front of the shirt.

it would be about 75 cents per shirt more expensive. once the quantity exceeds 73 garments per run then it only becomes about 25 cents more expensive.
i'm willing to cover it.

The tribal must stay, that'll be pivotal to the site's branding for the first couple of years. When we redo the site, which we've talked about a couple times (that iframe on the front page has to go), we'll integrate that tribal into the design, as well as the design of the board.

The font must change, and we NEED the shirts to say "GlobalMMA.com" on the middle upper back... that just looks sweet, and it's a very modernized concept.

I agree with dave

it's all about textile marketing curly. nobody remembers globalmma.com as easily as they remember a wicked logo. but the key is to still separate the 2.

the logo grasps the attention and then the url takes it from there.

Tony and I have thought alike on this since the beginning.

Curly Howard

got ya....I like the logo but I can see what ghost is saying.
the URL looks out of place in it

Agreed.... Want me to do an inquiry to see how much it would cost to have the tribal on the front and the URL on the back?

i agree. once people identify that the TRIBAL is automatically insinuated with GLOBALMMA.COM then all you have to do is see that tribal on a fighter's shorts, hat, or banner at an event......and then GLOBALMMA.COM automatically goes in yer head.

People have fights coiming up and they need to pimp thier wears. The tribal design says I'm here to kick ass. Block letters say I'm poor.

You violated the first rule of business. Keep it simple.

The design is way too much. The globalmma starts sloping which is dumb. Then the crossing over of global and mma is confusing.

Take it from this business genius. Go back to the drawing board.

I'm pullin for the logo to be printed in the blue that we use on the site. Tony says I'll have to sport an extra $100 for the production of the shirts if we do that. I can cover that.

i agree with dave and tony...
ron, thanks for helping getting the ball rolling here. use your, dave's and tony's ideas... i can see something VERY pimp comming out of this.

i would personally say... the tribal on the back and make the globe that is in the middle of the tribal the same color of the globe (blue) that Curly showed from .com/.net. and www.globalmma.com on the front in the same font and color that is used on the site.

I, personally, like the tribal and think the shirts will look great. I also think the logo would look good in white on a black t-shirt. maybe that's something to consider in the future. As for the logo being on the front/back an globalmma.com being on the opposite side... I'll agree with that.
I'm really proud of you guys. You better get the t-shirts rolling though, or I'll come out there and punt your heads.... all of you! You hear me?!
