My nephew has a business that prints & embroiders shirts & stuff. He has made shirts & hats for my biz. Thought about a KX Riders T Shirt with the members name on there, is there much interest here? Just post yah or nay & I will get the ball rolling.

Just emailed my Nephew so he can look into this for us & will report back.

jonny500 as far as a competition I will decline as I will leave it up to the Members Here as to what is best (I am sure everyone will have an opinion that differs).

Members put on your creative thinking hats & throw out some of your ideas, we can keep it very simple as the KXRiders.com logo, with the Members Name on the front, ..........,

Lets here them! :roll:

Agreed.

What would the Logo be? If its just letters, which would be easiest to reproduce, I see a big "kx500" and also a "KXRiders.com" logo, but we need more to it. Then I have to wonder how big of a deal it would be if we use "Kx 500" or "KAWASAKI" on the shirt.  We need a catch phrase or unique symbol to be sure Danger gets the money and he can keep it.

I used to work at a shop where we printed shirts.
It was a long time ago,  price per screen( per color) was like $15.00 to set up.
So, what I`m sayiong is the cost to make the shirts would vary on how many colors there is on the shirt.
Look up eenprinter to get a quote, I would reccommend.
Keep me in the loop too.

I'm in. Might need a few though, some for oily duty, some for best....
And one to sleep in :-D
On the logo front, surely it would make more sense to go with a 'KXRiders' theme, as owners of 125/250/450 etc could all get one, and not just the beast owners.More you produce/sell, the cheaper they are to make=more profit for the site....
Although if you do decide to do a 500 themed one, the slogan I used to have on my bike was
          ''KX500- half litre people eater'' but '' half litre CR beater'' has a nice ring to it :evil:

I was thinking about something like this, with the saying:
"yes its a 500, no you can't ride it"

Well, i sketched out something, but its showing up at the bottom as a link. Its hard for me to draw in one color, but I realize that is the only way for the shirts to be reasonable. I was trying to think of something that kinda puts an emphasis on 500 power. maybe it should just say " yes its a nice Kaw, no you can't ride it" :-D

I'm not looking for any "profit for the site...".  I don't even ask for dues.  Not even any paid advertisement.   I don't want to have to fill out any kind of tax stuff for the site.  The "KXRiders theme" is a good idea.  The T shirt idea has been batted around many times.
The problem is people don't want to get stuck with shirts that didn't sell.  If someone wants to take this on,  I would be interested in 2 shirts XXL.
