Here are the pics for those that don't want to hunt them down:
surfpirate wrote:I had WETDOGS do a mockup of possible tropical shirt designs (see below).
Of these three, I'm partial to the 2nd design myself.

I asked for a quote and was told .....
Bob, the cost is $25.00 each for Extra small thru XL. Add $3.00 for XXL, $6.00 for XXXL and $9.00 for XXXXL. The set up on this shirt is $100.00. Shipping is approximately to Florida, (I don't know where you are) $51.21 for 50 shirts. That's it. Just remember it takes 10 weeks. We are ready to start! Thanks Steve
That would make the shirt costs around $28/each .... plus shipping to each individual, however we'd work that out.

I'm going to ask for a few other *mockups* including a couple with the "I get it!" phrases included.

I am also going to continue to check some other sites. I found one that will do color designs, but as I expected,
the cost per shirt rised to about $45 or so.

I'm still on vacation ... I'll follow up on all of this when I return, plus also the *Spirit of Vicki* NASCAR,
plus a few dozen other things I've promised some of you.

~~~ sp

p.s. If someone could start a *BuffettNews Tropical Shirt ... who's interested?* thread that would be great.

For the record .... this was just 3 *mock up design* ideas I had one particular company do for us.
There are other options (back to the drawing board) that we can certainly consider.

Remember too .... this is not a summer of 2010 item. Whatever we decide, the logistics say we'll, at best,
be able to place a group order say sometime in late July or early August, and then 10 weeks later
(late October, early November timeframe) get our shirts.

There are also other custom tropical shirt sites we have found that can be explored .... but ....

... the more options we find ... the longer it will take to make a group decision ... etc.

This particular site has a few things going for it:

1. Shirt cost reasonable ($30 or so per shirt, minimum order 48 shirts)
2. women's style and men's style shirts


Other sites I saw did not have women's style shirts as an option and cost a bit more,
but also offered another variety of shirts so certainly worth exploring.
I'll check these out next week.

I'm in, I picked #1 and #2, but am more than willing to consider "back to the drawing board" if SP works his magic and comes up with some new options!
