T Shirts

Terry Miles and Alex Balic are preparing to order custom Velocity logo apparel. Check out the available shirt types, the logo, place or check your order right here. The logos are at the bottom of this article.

Here is where we are. You can see the back of "the standard" design here. It will will the swoopie looking Velocity with the cascading Velocity across the left wing. To make the ordering process as painless as possible, this pic will go on the back. On the front upper left will be Velocity Logo that we all know with the airplane within the letter O of Velocity. The default color for tee shirts will be white and the lettering in the Velocity Logo blue which is a medium blue (not navy blue, now baby blue, but a medium kind of blue)

What nice about all this is going to www.catalogwearables.com and picking out your own shirt type and fabric color. If is's dark we will use white letters. If it's light we will use a medium blue for letters.

THE CURRENT DESIGN AND OPTIONS

We have an OK from the factory to use the old sweatshirt design, so that is the current plan. That design is for the VELOCITY logo (see attch) in the front upper left with the letters being about 1 inch high and maybe 4.5 inches across. On the back with be the "SwoopieVAB." That is the swoopie looking airplane with the column of repeated VELOCITY words reading down vertically across the left wing. It is about 14" w by 11" high. You can have this on the front or the back. The airplane will be in Red on all shirts unless you pick a red shirt. The remaining color of the lettering will be dictated by the color of the shirt. (two choices here black or white) The design will be painted on and not stitched. If you want either design on only one side of the shirt it will save you $2. Say you pick out a golf shirt. We can skip the back. Say you want a sweatshirt with the Swoopie airplane on the front and nothing on the back, that is doable too. That is to say, one sided printing will save you about $2.

The DEFAULT SHIRTS

The default tshirt to be white and the Gliden 2000. The default sweatshirt is the Jerzees 562M. The default design is with the Velocity Logo on the front and the Swoop VAB on the back which is a red artistic rendition of the Velo and the words Velocity written in a long collum--which goes on the back. Customers need to enter color size and count for defaults. If you want something else. I need the catelogwearables product code, plus all the other info.

THE GARMENT OF YOUR CHOICE

Go to this website: http://www.catalogwearables.com/ There you can pick out whatever you want. Don't try to order anything, just write down all the particulars and send them to me off line. For tee shirts Alex is suggesting we stay with the Gildan 2000 line. For the fleecewear (sweatshirts), the recommendation is to choose the 50/50 blends of cotton and poly as opposed to say 80/20 blends. Sorry, no 100 silk or nylon or slippery fabrics. You cannot have the big design across the front if you have any zippers or buttons on the front.

THE PRICE

This website is Alex's supplier. Based on how much we order (I guess) is what he has to pay. I have nothing to do with this part. He or I will advise each of you. There is no price information until he has a look at the total order, but you can go to this website [https://www.queensboro.com/ Queensboro] and look for something comparable and that will be the aprox price less whatever Alex sees at his end from his supplier. Add to this about $6 per order for shipping costs to you which Alex will be doing. Quick aside, if you see something you can't live without at Queensboro or want to go with embroidery, please consider holding off an any individual orders, and we can do the same group purchase over there too. It is just that Alex only can do painting.

THE ORDERING PROCESS

1. Go over to Catalog Wearables and then I need 6 de-limiters. Product code, size, color, how many you want, and last a plain text explanation of what you want on the front and what on the back. You can say "standard" and I get it. No we cannot shrink the back design swoopie airplane or blowup the classic Velocity name logo with the little airplane in the letter O. The price is going to be cheaper than other internet sweatshirt places. Here is one to get you apox ideas: www.queensboro.com Sorry we cannot give you firm prices until we have assembled an order.
