Interest in a Mid-A t-shirt?
 

I've had this idea bouncing in my head for a while, but I thought a simple black t-shirt with a white mid-a "logo" over the heart on the front of the shirt and a white silhouette of the 86 on the back of the shirt would be a pretty cool looking shirt. I know I'd wear one at least twice :lol:

I'm not sure if there is a copyright on the logo (or if anybody really cares), but I've got a buddy who is making custom t-shirts and was wondering if there would be any interest in a shirt. He is interested in becoming a vendor if there is enough interest.

I'm just putting this thread out as a feeler for him.

I AM NOT A VENDOR! PLEASE DON'T BANNINATE ME! Nothing is being sold/stolen here!

Can I get some input from, I guess, @Pure Automotive, since they were the ones selling the stickers?

Edit: This thread is open to everyone. I'll need to get an idea of what the people want, then forward it on to my friend to see how much it would cost/how long to get done. If there is no interest, I'll get myself a t-shirt and be done with it :)

Depends on the quality of the cotton.

What kind of cotton do you want? I'm sure he could get like Egyptian mummified king's balls cotton, but then the cost would be $NileRiver.

I could go for a nice king's-balls soft shirt... lol

Let the FRS/BRZ war begin...."thats an FRS on the shirt...I'd would get one if it was a BRZ"

Bradys shirts had both...thats the only way to make everyone happy.

There were shirts? Did I miss the memo?!?!

Edit: gt 86 dot com dot au has a pretty ambiguous looking picture that could possibly be used:

Or skip the car and do the mid atlantic logo, or just the top of the hood/front fascia where the lights and curves are the same.

If it was $Texas I could understand, but that's too far. I like lighter cotton shirts, but I don't know the brands. Whatever @bestwheelbase uses isn't bad, but the couture brands (ex-gf has really soft Wildfox Couture t shirts) have SUPER soft t shirts.

You rang? ;)

@infinite012 sounds like he has this under control. Egyptian mummy ball cotton and all that jazz. But if you guys need anything, feel free to get in touch. We often do bulk orders for clubs/groups or special events.

Our only suggestion, unsolicited though it may be, is please Please PLEASE do not use someone else's copyrighted work without permission. It is illegal and uncool. :mad0259:

We would love to see more people doing regional/local shirts to celebrate being a part of this great community. Maybe over time we can amass a collection of shirts from all other the place.

The copyright stuff is what worries me. I don't want to have my friend make like 30 shirts and then have them all torn off of everybody's backs because of a copyright infringement.

So, who owns the rights to the logo?

I don't know what logo you are asking about (but I probably have a pretty good idea).

Here's our tip: Just avoid the issue altogether. Create something unique that represents your locale. There's more satisfaction in making a design that is special.

Well that's kind of the point of this thread. We have a regional logo that was sold by a vendor in sticker form (and apparently t-shirts as well), so I'm trying to find who "owns" that design to ask permission to use it on a shirt that could possibly be made.

Sorry, I am coming in to the conversation a little late.

First place to go is the shop that sold the item. They should own the design or know who does.

I can't help but ask... if they already made shirts, why not just buy one of theirs? Forgive me if this is another stupid question on my part since I don't know the full back story...

problem solved.

No shirts were made, I had a similar situation with some Jackets that another member was making, I decided not to get involved with it because copyright stuff scares me.


The MA logo was designed by @ette and I'm sure if you asked nicely she could change a few things about the "86" logo to make it not exactly the same.

However, I'm with Orbital on this one, change it up for the shirt and that way no one will have to worry about it :thumbsup:

Or use roman numerals just to be safe, lol

GT LXXXVI Looks nice!

Definitely interested in a Mid-Atlantic t-shirt, I'll actually throw out a design
since I'm not busy if you're looking for ideas. As for the copyright thing, I think
you'll be safe if you deviate from the boxer "86" in terms of design and anything FR-S/BRZ related.

All this talk about this MA design and I haven't even seen it. Can someone direct me to it?

Edit: I found it in the meetup thread. Tsk tsk.

Copyright? Well don't tell anyone, man!

Ohhhh. I can change it up a little. But still keep it "Mid-A" style. In fact, I have a great variation that might already work. Please hold. Oh, and @bestwheelbase regardless of the fancy cotton or whatever, I still love that custom girly tee!! :thumbsup:

I want moar bestwheelbase t-shirts in my life.

@ette Glad you're enjoying it. :happy0180: It's time we collaborated. We'll send you a PM so not to thread-jack...

@OrbitalEllipses We posted some teasers to instagram yesterday. We're so bad at social media you may not have seen it. Haha!

I don't go far beyond Facebook.

EDIT: Found it. Want.

I would like to introduce myself as said friend who has the ability to do the shirts. @infinite012 approached me with the idea a couple days ago and i have no problem making some shirts if A: there is enough interest, and B: we wouldn't be stepping on anyone's toes for ownership of the image or copyright infringement.

I can work with @ette to come up with something unique for Mid-A, or if there is enough feedback, we could create something totally new!

Any and all feedback is appreciated for this topic.

And there you have it.

Rough idea of what I had in mind, Then I remembered it didn't include you MD folks. Back to the drawing board. hmmm....

Who cares about the MD folks anyway?

:paddle:

Didn't you sell your WRX?

MAIC get-together in here, yo!

/sigh

Remember this one that I threw together?

Yup! This actually gives me another idea. Might work out. I'll post later. :D

Massachusetts 86 club?

Mid Atlantic Smarty Pants

;)

lol, its currently fs/ft. lots of bites but no serious interest yet.

maybe this?
 

How about something like this--
I didn't have an image editor at work so this is the best I could do with the tools I had. But this should be a good proof of concept.

:barf:

Yeah....that's a no

Like I said it was a proof of concept and I had crap for tools at work. I would like to see what @uncle tattoo can come up with as far as something custom goes. I'd definitely like to see all 3 cars represented on the shirt.
