How many would be interested in....
Buying T-Shirts as a fundraiser for the site? Current bandwidth is about 50 gigs a month (thats with these forums being hosted on a non-pay server (Gagames)), and those of you who run websites know how expensive that gets.
Sanfam and I are considering several designs, such as one with the S14 logo on a breast pocket, and on the pack words saying "I fought for" Then the ItF logo, followed by the FirstOnes logo. Don't have an estimate on costs or anything, just need a general estimate on if it would be worth the production cost to create them. I would have to pre-confirm the number of orders first too, before I went and got them printed. Estimate on cost would probably be about 20 bucks US, with maybe 6-7 of that being the profit.
I am also working on putting together some kind of commemorative picture CD about our efforts, our story, and all of you.That idea's still fuzzy too, and I am waiting to hear back from Rick and Randy about how much of the "full story" we would be allowed to tell...
Let me know...

I have the latest logo in several (large) formats that should reduce well to tee-shirt size.
You could go for the "Pearl Harbor" sentimentality by writing "Remember ItF" in serpentine on the back... [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/wink.gif[/img]

And yeah, the permission thing occured to me last night when I posted this idea to the Twilight thread. It is his logo, after all.

20 US ought to cover shipping.... am counting on paying about 10 bucks canadian for the shirts, then 6-8 bucks shipping.
Just a rough idea..... don't know if it will pan out, but I would love to see a T-shirt like this [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/smile.gif[/img]

Not me, sorry.
[b]I think doing different colours on each side would reall push the price up guys [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/smile.gif[/img]
20 US ought to cover shipping....[/b][/quote]
Yeah - the number of colors on the transfer and number of shirts you order will determine the price. For a rough guide, In my final undergrad days at WPI (which would mean 1990-1991), the local AIAA chapter had t-shirts printed with a 1-color transfer on less expensive gray t-shirts. The break-even price for the 4-5 dozen or more shirts they ordered was almost $20, and that didn't include shipping.
You might want to decide on the number of colors for the transfer, the size of the transfer (X by Y inches) and the type of blank shirt you'd like, then go to a few places that handle stuff like this and ask them for the per-unit prices if you'd order the number of shirts you'll expect to sell.
Like Rick said, though, you'll probably need to get permission to do this from whoever owns the rights to and controls licensing for items related to Into the Fire and Babylon 5, since you'll be selling the shirts to raise money for your site (which means you'll have to make a profit in the sales).

Personally, I would buy and wear a t-shirt only if there isn't anything (sorry to say this) ridiculous "I fought for ITF..bla bla bla" or "Remember...bla bla bla...". I would personally want it clean with only the logo. -Will appear more cool methinks. Or even Aardvarks. Yeah, I kid you not [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/biggrin.gif[/img] Anyway, I would buy the T-shirt no matter what to show my support!

With a small I fought for ItF logo and Sector 14 logo on the left front...
[b]You should investigate the cost of putting a larger version of the S14S logo somewhere on it as well.[/b][/quote]
A large picture will probably cost quite a bit more per shirt, especially if it's multi-color.
