I have decided to start a new thread for this as 'KX 500 t shirt' is not the same as a general 'KX riders shirt' for all KX owners. I have heard back from the t-shirt guy, his email is as follows:
"Hi John, had a look at your kx riders site & read the members comments. I have a design idea in mind, it will take me a while to sort it out i will have to fit it in between my other work it may take a week or so but i should be able to sort somthing out for you. I will pass on a graphic for you to post on the site. As i said on the phone any body who wants one could email me direct & simply pay direct though paypal or via my bank IBAN code etc. Price would be ?12.99 for the shirt plus post costs of UK ?1.50 / Europe ?2.50 / USA ?3.60, i would just print them to order in the requested size & post them out no problem. All the best, mark at moto-t"
I have also had a chat on the phone with him. He designs all the t-shirts himself and the ones I have seen have been cool. Did I mention he rides mx, on a yellow bike. I think we can let him off for that lol.
He is going to base the design on what has been said so far in the 'kx 500 t shirt thread' so will involve some of the ideas from us. As soon as I get the design I will post on this thread and get some feed back from you guys and go from there.
In the mean time could anyone who is interested post on this thread as I'm sure the more orders we have will give us a price reduction. :-D
-
i have recieved permision from the moderator of this site on using the kx riders logo, so the t shirt idea can go ahead. just waiting for the designs to come through. if any one has some ideas what they would like to see please feel free and i will pass them on
-
he has got back to me with this design. feedback?, would you buy one? please post below

bigger pic

bad a$$

I would buy one but I think the tire and tread pattern needs more work to look agressive.
BTW, A hot chick sitting on the KX letters wouldn't be bad either.....
On the back "Ride Big or Go Home" would be great.... "Go Green or Go Home " would be ok too.

What Extreem said. I'll be buying a couple let me know if xxxl is doable.

Remove tire tread pattern. Add Monster Energy Girl or any suitable World War 2 style nose art pin up girl instead of the rider and put me down for one.

thanks guys, keep it coming the more feedback the better
-
use the tire tread to make the KX, and remove it from the background. i like the WWII pin up chick idea to replace the rider. put the main logo on the back. on the front maybe this around the collar "keepin it KX500 green since mm/dd/yy" the date would be when the website was started. ill be in for 1 in XL if there are a couple changes to the design.
-
the tread mark look like a trials tire made it. definitely replace the dude with a chick.
-
I don't care for the tire tread either. Don't care about having a chick on it though. Would rather not have anything sleezy on it. You know what would be cool is a mechanical drawing og the 500 engine on some where. even some micro fich suff frome the engine would be cool.
-
And how about the Sneeking The BDI Skull & Crossbones in there somewhere... 8-)
\o/
-
so every one seems to agree on the tyre tread, consider it gone
-
The sexiest pic I've seen latley was a Monster KX500AF,,,,how about a KX500AF somewhere on there?
-
how about something like this to replace the rider? cool yet subtle. i like the BDI skull idea too. would need BDI's permission on that though.
-
i like the parts picture idea may be and explosion diagram (oem microfish?) of the 500 top end may be. The only problem is that this is a kx riders t-shirt not kx 500. I was thinking maybe have different options for the back of the shirt. for example.
1. stock kx 500, with the letters kx 500
2. kx500af
3 kx 65/85
4.kx125
5.kx250
6. parts diagram (as above)
ect
Mark, the guy doing this for us has already offered the option of a stock 500 on the front below what is already there
im am sure that this optional back idea will push the price up
thanks for the feed back i will give it a few more days so every one can have have some input. we will some how have to make a choice then.
-
I like the idea. I'd want the 500 on the back with something like "Can You Keep Up?" above it. Also prefer black shirt with green lettering. I destroy white shirts the first time I wear them lol.
-
can i ask if anyone else has any idea feedback on this as i will forwarding the info on this thread to the design guy soon
-
I would not care if you guys used my skully on it but that would be an honor I'm not sure if i deserve. As for this being a kxriders shirt and worrien what bike was on it goes, I think it would be oppropiate to have the grandfather of all kx dirt bikes on the shirt in any form you guys want to use.

oh yah! do the skull, do the skull!!! bdi, you have cool ideas and it would indeed be appropriate to have the skull on it in your honor. you deserve it. i do agree on having the K5 in the shirt, after all that is what this site is mostly about anyways.
-
on the back, in easy to see print, ''Make my day, try and run''
-
i'm trying to put up my take on a possible design. please bear with me cause work and my corel photo design program is kicking my butt. waiting on skull design from BDI and trying to add a kx500. there is a thin kawi green outline on the main lettering, i may make it thicker. heres a possible base design so far. the date is the beginning of the website. johnny, i'm not trying to run you over, i just wanted to put another option out there.
-
like it, with bike pic or engine m/fiche style.

I agree. Sorry maddog I have looked every where for the disc that has my art on it but can't find it. The women who put it on disc for me robbed my buddies house so now I don't talk to her.
-
ok last call now on this, if you have anymore input for the t shirt now is the time. although i have to say all the ideas have been good, i quite like the simplicity of the plain kxriders.com front further up this page. perhaps with the optional back. we have somhow got to make a decision on this now. i think danger4u2 should get the final call as this is his site. how would you feel about this danger?. thanks to all that have taken the time to give some input.
best regards

just to keep every one in the loop. this is an email i just sent to mark. i will let you know of the reply
hi mark. there has been alot of interest on the forum, just a couple of questions, can the t shirt be another colour other than white and could the be an option to have writing on the back of the buyer request e.g kx500 and members name and maybe the kx500 pic you mentioned. how would this effect the price ect. i will email you a link to the t shirt thread in couple of day so you can veiw our coment ect. manythanks for you efforts so far
best regards
john

jonny500, you can do what you want but i would wait till the other design is complete so members can make an informed decision. it may be a week or 2 weeks tops before the other design is finished, so bear with us please. this other design requires 3 members to coordinate. kinda tough.
-
yeah thats cool madoggy, we can wait. i like what you did so far. oh and by the way your not walking over me, yours is just the sort of response i wanted, so thanks and i look forward to your ideas

hi John, sorry i only work with white t-shirts due the printing process i use. I am not sure if you mean in your email that members would like the logo i sent you on the chest as well as an image of a kx500 on the back as well as there own name across the shoulders of the shirt, if so that would be very expensive for them to have done. At the moment i don`t realy want to get any more involved with the project than i already am, i have spent well over half a day on sorting graphics & had no return for my efforts so far, & as they say time is money especially when you work for your self. If we were talking about a large order with money up front to cover design costs like most other companies charge then yes i could spend a lot more time to sort it out for you, if there had been a steady flow of orders for the first design i sent you it would be a different case but as it stands it`s just not worth me spending any more time on the project. Mark
this is the email i recieved back
and my reply
i totally understand, being a grease monkey i would not know what is involved in a t-shirt design lol. however i do know what its like to invest time in things that are not profitable. i wont ask for any more of your time until there is a definate order acompanyed by some payments. its just takes some time for so many people to make choices.
best regards
john
so the shirt has to be white. i am thinking go with madoggys front on a white shirt with nothing else. nice simple and easy.
i know this situation is not ideal but i think we wont find anyone to print them and post in the way this guy has offered
-
It's a bit rough and. What about this? Small logo at front, print on the back
Dutchie
-
thats a nice layout of the shirt dutch but i think it would look better white. not just because johnny needs it white but in my opinion i think it would look more eye catching.
-
dutch, i love it :-D. i kind of like the rough grainy look
i dont know much about the printing process and how that would work
-
here's the latest update, thanks to suicyde for working it over. hope you guys like it. i'm still waiting on the skull from BDI, then it will be complete.
-
Man what a good idea 8-) I like the original draft from Jonny500 if you were to change anything maybe the rider should be on a bike also like the layout on the black shirts wounder how they would look in white with the kxrider.com in green or black
good luck JM
-
I like the logo on the website, the dude motoing on a KX. The more agressive the better.
-
I will take two. :-P
-
Put me down foe two and somewhere it has to say "Go Green or go Home"!!!

Oh yeah.....I'm getting one.
-
My neighbor does t-shirts and is going to hook me up. Possible thought for me would be the site logo on the front and a name upon request and on the back something like "Will tear up everywhere but the Moon; but we are working on it....." with the BDI flaming skull. There a million way of doing it, i was also going do just black, its pretty standard and goes with all "out on the town" attire.

I'd like Motorrad's shirt to have a mustache on the sleeve.......On mine I want the Danny Hamel D.H on one sleeve and the Kurt Caselli KC66 on the other.

OK
-
I'd like to see some made up with an actual picture of a K5 on the back, up high and span the width of the shoulders...big enough so people walking 20ft behind you know it's a KX500...and have "KX500" in a little bit smaller print on the front, just something basic and to the point.....I don't know, just a thought.

And in a 4XL for the fluffy guys....ME :-D
