Purple Row T-shirt Collaboration

PrintIt was suggested in walkoff59's Fanpost that it would be nice to have PurpleRow T-shirts. So why don't we make our own? Holly96 made a great suggestion for a company where you can upload your own designs and order shirts. So I thought we should open up the floor for some design submission ideas. I'm running late for work, so I will submit some later, for now this is what I've got:
This T-shirt was inspired by Rox Girl and Silverblood. I don't have the link to the original discussion, but I'm sure Russ can provide it.
PR Maternity shirt:
Eat. Drink. Be Merry. But the above FanPost does not necessarily reflect the attitudes, opinions, or views of Purple Row's staff (unless, of course, it's written by the staff [and even then, it still might not]).

We have quite a few talented artists on this site...
So I invite the community to share their ideas.

Yeah, probably not
But my wife’s prego right now and I think it would be a hilarious gift for her to wear to games this summer.

If I had a pregnant wife
I would buy that for her without any necessary conversation. That’s awesome!

If you want to get this shirt for your wife..
email me and I’ll give you the file. But you have to post a pic of her wearing it, that’s my only condition.

Would there be..
more than one egg for a man’s shirt? And would we use the spanish word for egg?

Jersey Style?
Actually I had a couple of ideas that mimic jerseys using the purple that most of us like and want to see used again.
1) Mimic the home vest uni by substituting the letters “CR” with “PR” on the upper left chest and use the font that the Rox use.
-On the back where the player’s name would be say “Rowbot”. And where the number would be have a +1.
2) Mimic the home or away uni by substituting the words “Rowbots” across the chest where it says “Rockies” or “Colorado” . Again, use the same Rockies font.
-Optional +1 on the back .
-“PR” on the sleeve.
3) Purple Row logo on the front.
These are just some ideas to build on.

I actually really like all of these ideas
Just as long as it is clear that it is for a website, because a lot of people at Coors Field might just think people wearing “Purple Row” shirts are partial to sitting in the purple row.

My idea
was simple: the logo of the site on the shirt, but with some indication that Purple Row is a website to visit. And we can have retro Purple Row shirts with the the old logo.
"If we never try, we shall never succeed." - Abraham Lincoln
Purple Row - Covering all your Rockies needs!
That's what I would be most interested in.
Something simple that could go on a mug, or on the pocket of a t-shirt (or bigger—we could have both options).
Anyone could make a mug with snapfish
just save the logo and upload it for that. I’ve thought about it, but I decided I didn’t want to take the quantum nerd leap required to be the only person in the world with a PR mug

Russ, do you have access to a hi-rez copy of either logo? Just using the logo from the internet will make it blurry on the shirts.

I don't think they exist
I asked Russ once if I could get my hands on higher-res versions of the logos for my wallpapers, and he told me that the artist designs a bigger version that’s scaled down to the site, and that no one save the artist ever gets their hands on a big one :( .

I can recreate the new logo...
it looks like simple Adobe illustrator work, but the old one is a watercolor or colored pencil design. Maybe it was drawn and then scanned in?

If we're going to....
..truly promote the web site , then the new logo would be best anyway. IMO.

Got a timeline/deadline?
I’d love to put together a couple of ideas, but I’m completely swamped through Tuesday. (Damn work stuff anyway.)
This is the type of work I do, and I’ve thought about shirts in the past. If we’re in no big hurry, I’d love to be part of the conversation.
Got to say that walkoff59’s “+1” suggestion is spot on.
The great thing about baseball is that there's a crisis every day. ~Gabe Paul
I think I can speak for everyone when I say we certainly don't need anything before Tuesday.
If you do decide to design something, my only suggestion is to make sure you take a look at Cafe Press’s guidelines. I don’t know the details, but I know they have criteria for file sizes, types, etc.
If this were completely done by June 13
that might be cool…since that’s Rowbbq and game day…

While we're discussing the logo...
maybe we could make something work using the version I made for the wallpaper? There aren’t any mountains, but I could change that without much problem. I just think that our current logo at the top of the page is a bit too…tall?

That
I love. It does need the .com added, but I love the simplicity and movement of it. Reading over the submission guidelines at Cafe Press, I noticed (with some surprise) that they cannot print white as a color. It’s hard to tell from the small image here, but the top center of the baseball, MIGHT be a problem for them. Just something to keep in mind.
Excellent work, as always!

Am I the only person that doesn't like the term "Rowbot"?
Websters dictionary defines Robot as: A mechanism guided by automatic controls.
I prefer being an individual, with creativity and emotions dammit! A robot just seems too impersonal. I’m not sure why I’m ranting about this, except that I was in the hospital yesterday after being hit in the head with a piece of metal from work. So I’m feeling a little woozy and should probably just go to bed.

But would never try to force it on anyone. I have to say that I’m proud to be a Rowbot.
If folks wanted to but it on shirts, perhaps coloring the word inversely to Purple Row would make the association more obvious:
Sorry, not working at the computer I have the PR stencil font loaded on. Just a thought.

It's actually kind of perfect, if you think about it.
we’re all blind followers of the Rockies, in a way. we get mad at them, yes, and curse at our television, and make nasty comments, but no matter what they do we’re still going to be fans. We’ve got our purple colored glasses, if you will, and many of us go out of our way, to at least some extent, to fit the Rockies in as part of our lives. Our “automatic control” is to cheer for our boys.
Ok, so maybe that was stretching it a little. But the name fits.

Logo
Does anyone else like oo_nrb’s abbreviated logo? I know I do. On a purple shirt? Black shirt? Grey shirt? I Like the mountains in the current logo also but I can see the simplicity in the abbreviated logo.

I know for me the simpler the better.
I’m less likely to buy and wear a t-shirt if there is a lot going on. As for colors, we can easily have multiple options, but it would depend on the colors of the art.
Me too.
I don’t wear “busy”.

We can always have a couple different options.
If we go with Cafe Press, it’s super easy for our “store” to have multiple choices. That goes for shirt color, too. Of course, whoever manages it might want to limit choices just for simplicity, but as I understand it, it’s not hard at all to add things.
You're just like a girl, can't make up her mind..
j/k I dig them all too!

As long as the shirt is NOT white.
….anything but white.
"A life is not important except in the impact it has on other lives."
Jackie Robinson
http://www.geocities.com/by31lengths/Randompage2.html
Like I said above, it should be easy to have more than one choice.
Unless we want uniformity. But if you want more people to buy it, the more options the better.
Busy backs
I personally like “busy” backs. Maybe because I enjoy having people stare at my, er, back.
Maybe the pocket patch logo on the front and either an image or some text on the back. Maybe a “Top 10” sort of thing (top 10 reasons why the Rockies are better than your team … #6: Dinger can eat your team’s mascot, cuz he’s a dinosaur.)
Just some thoughts. Really, I have no concerns with any of the ideas being tossed around. I’d definitely add a PR shirt to my drawer of Rockies shirts.
What sort of price point are we looking at?
Reviews of some great baseball sites and other cool stuff on my web magazine @ The Casual Observer
I like busy backs too..
Although a group of Purple Row fans would look good at the stadium with a dominant PR statement on the front. Here’s an idea I had for a busy back:
Check out my Rockies comic strip at:
Rock Drive 1.4
My two cents...
I’d be less likely to buy/wear that or any other shirt with a busy back. I’d like a PR shirt that identified us but not much else.
Eschew Obfuscation!
That's how I would be, too.
But again, we’re never all going to agree. So the best bet is to have a small number of options that will together satisfy everyone, rather than just one design for all.
Yeah
Why not have 1 “busy” design and one “non-busy” design? I full understand why someone wouldn’t want a busy design, I simply don’t fall into that camp.
Charlie – toss the pocket patch logo on the front of that, and I’d buy it :)

There are some really good ideas here
I really think that it should move in the direction of promoting the site. If I had my way, I’d vote for the complete logo on the front with Purple Row.com and just the chairs on the back. It MIGHT make people actually ask what do the chairs mean? Then we can ambush them with PR knowledge.
I do like the abbreviated logo without the mountains as well.

I’ll take one in gray, XL.
How about a letter on each chair
so that they spell out P-U-R-P-L-E-R-O-W
Just a thought. Otherwise I really like it.
Ignorance of the American League is a sign of good moral character.

One vote
I like this one— it’s attention getting, and not too busy. The colors on the black are nice. Personally, I think the green rows are a good way to go because it draws attention to the purple row, rather than just presenting a line of chairs. Just my humble opinion.
by PurpleJersey on May 28, 2009 7:33 PM MDT up reply actions
I like it too
the term purple row needs to be on there, even if it is small print, before the .com so people know what it means if they get a close enough look. This could be the back and the little pocket patch type thing on the front would be perfect.

wouldn't you have to get their permission?
Baseball players are smarter than football players. How often do you see a baseball team penalized for too many men on the field?
Author: Jim Bouton
No
Because they are “public figures”, unless they trademark their name it’s a free-for-all. Remember the “Bichette Happens” shirts? Totally fan-based. Not saying it’s right, it’s just the nature of copyright.
So. When is enough enough?
I'm pretty sure you need their permission if you're going to sell them for a profit. Not that that's the deal here.

Making a profit is a vague term.
At least that’s what my pre-2002 Accounting textbook written by Arthur Anderson says.
Check out my Rockies comic strip at:

call me a nerd, but I'm going to use an American Idol comparison here
On Cafe Press, there are hundreds upon hundreds of different shirts for any given American Idol contestant. One example: type “Blake Lewis” (season 6 runner up) on the search, and tons of “Blaker Girl” tshirts will come up. Although Blake and his family and friends have acknowledged the presence of the Blaker Girls, his fan club, I’m pretty sure they’ve never exactly said “hey, yeah, that’s cool to use me to make a profit.” Granted, this could be a bad example, as a lot of the money they make off of Cafe Press goes to charity, and I have no clue where the other part goes. But, no, you don’t need their permission.
Another example would be Obama. Theres billions of those tshirts. I’m pretty sure he didn’t give permission to all the sellers on there.

I've wondered about the Obama thing as well. I'm pretty sure he doesn't have an agent doing deals.

And if
Purple Row is associated with those shirts, I receive (or the company receives) an angry letter.

Purple Row - Covering all your Rockies needs!
There's a very simple solution here
If you want a shirt with Outkins/Spilly/Doom/Dreamy etc. on it, submit it yourself and leave Purple Row out of the conversation. Those shirts wouldn’t be about the Row anyway. “Cease and Desist” letters aren’t fun to get. (Yeah, I got one, once upon a time.)
If someone needs some help with the graphic, my email is in my profile. I’m happy to help as my time allows.

I like most of the ideas here.
I’d like to see one with the logo itself for a direct approach to promoting the site and one with the chairs for an “insider” approach. Or maybe the logo on front and the chairs on the back?
In my opinion, the shirt should be purple to stand out.
Is there someone on this site that can even make the shirts happen? If so, Maybe we should get some official vote.

Yeah, who's running this asylum?
Oh wait, that’s me. Actually this thread is getting ready to expire soon, so I was planning on compiling everyone’s suggestions in a new thread and letting people vote. However, you don’t have to all choose the same shirt. That’s what is cool about CafePress because a shirt can be uploaded and purchased one at a time without doing an order for 100 or more. Now if we all want to attend a game wearing the same shirt, then we should choose one shirt.
BTW, according to the website, any shirts that are ordered standard shipping on June 1 will arrive by June 13th, which coincides with the Rowbotbbbq – is that enough b’s RMN?

because it would have to be customized for everyone, would it be possible to have a PR symbol similar to that of the CR the Rockies use? That way it’s uniform and simple.

with PR.com is that it’s promoting PR.com, not Purple Row. Purple Row needs to be on the shirt to give it any meaning.

I like the handle idea
but it seems really difficult to pull off, especially in ten days. Then again, I am no expert on custom apparel.

I think it would be tricky.
Because you’d have to set up a different shirt basically for everyone that wanted one.
I like it with the ball also.
With the mountains being purple, would it be visible on a purple shirt? I like the user name on back also but won’t it be a little difficult to customize?

This is my pick (for now).
Really dig it. Especially for promoting the site.

They’re ALL very nice.

Is it okay to use an actual picture of Coors Field?
because I think it would look really cool.

oooh, if it's allowed, I do love #3.
only suggestion is that you add the .com to the end. other wise, it just looks like a Rockies/mile high tshirt
I agree 3 is the best of the three
but I like the logo idea better. It’s just cleaner.

On #3 I wonder if..
The seats can be cropped a little and then change the logo a little to fill in the resulting blank space? It’s just a little too boxy. But I like the actual picture and as long as you took the picture and we’re not selling them for profit then we should be ok to print on t-shirts.

Agree with the boxy assessment

I was thinking about that pic last night..
and I think he should crop it around the purple chairbacks.
FYI the website allows Photoshop documents to be uploaded. So you can upload something with a transparency. For instance if you designed just a baseball bat and placed it on its own layer in Photoshop with no background and saved as a .psd file with the layers intact it will show up on the shirt as just the bat without the white background.

That's a great idea
but I don’t think I can pull that off with my rudimentary photoshop skills. Do you want to take a crack at it?

If that were done with the chairs, that would be pretty cool
