Buell shirts anyone?

[dave_xb12r]

I made myself a shirt with the Pegasus logo on it, and I thought I'd share it with you guys. I hope you like it. It's available in all colors. Here is the link to the store

Nice shirt, but BE CAREFULL! Harley-Davidson has agreements with clothing manufacturers for the rights to their logos, trademarks, etc. It would be an open and shut case if Buell/Harley-Davidson wanted to shut you down and get money for damages.

what he said....
i designed a couple, but just for personal use.....
if hd/buell want to go after you, its a heavy fine

 

[dave_xb12r]

Yeah I thought of that. I took the name "Buell" off of the page, and the product doesn't have a name on it. If cafepress thinks it's risky, they'll pull it. Plus I'm sure it wont sell more than 10 of them, so I think I'm ok

So are you actually making anything off of these things or what?

 

[dave_xb12r]

Nope. I can make it up as much as I want, but I'm not.

 

[BryD959]

any other designs by chance?

 

[dave_xb12r]

tell me what kind of design you want and I can throw something together.

 

[ozzie84]

yeah dude, draw some up and post them

Hey Jeremy, this whole t-shirt thing got me thinking... you should have Buellxb.com t-shirts for sale on buellparts.net. I'd like to have one to wear to bike night type events. We could all advertise for ya.

 

[dave_xb12r]

something like this

 

[FIDOSOL]

That would be neat...

 

[ozzie84]

be more artsy w/ it

 

[buellxb]

I will consider making some shirts, but they won't be for sale. I would have to get a list together and send them out for free as promotional material. I just can't afford the risk of profiting in any way.

Maybe I will give them out as prizes to members with good reputation scores.

 

[ozzie84]

well if its for free...shoot i can help out designing something?

Buellxb could you do some kind of membership/web supporter type thing. The cost of being a supporting/member is the same as the price of the T-shirts + shipping. With being a supporter you get access to the forum and a Free BuellXB.com T-shirt.

Hey Dave, I showed my wife the shirt with the pegasus logo on it and she said "what's that?" I said "hold on I'll be right back!" *went to get key* "Buell Pegasus Logo" *shows wife the key* My knowledge makes me happy! LOL.

Hey BuellXB, not to sound like an opportunist or anything, but do you think my score would be good enough? I think LeFox's is the highest on the site... That shirt looks good in blue.

somethign more like this would b down my alley

quick photshop chop check it out

 

[dave_xb12r]

I like that a lot! I think we should all pitch in, maybe have a "create the buellxb.com shirt" contest

 

[buellxb]

I really like that second black shirt. If you could incorporate BuellXB.com somewhere, even if it's small or just on the back of the shirt, that would be sweet.

@GatorBuell - I like your idea. I've seen a number of forums that have set up "Premium Memberships" with all sorts of perks to go along with it. The premium package might cost right around the same as the cost of the shirt + shipping, but would also include other benefits.

I still think I would come up with some system to give out free t-shirts for reputation, post count, contributions (design, video production, blog articles or interviews, links, moderation, etc.)
