HELP & INPUT NEEDED: Time to design our own merchandise? www.barnsleytees.spreadshirt.co.uk

Well having had a gander at the online club shop looking for a decent t-shirt to show my support for my team as I plan to go on my summer holiday and spread the word of Barnsley F.C. I was totally dissillusioned. The stickyback plastic efforts that would put many traders on Barnsley Market to shame. So, although not professing to be the most creative of types out there I thought I'd have a pop at designing a t-shirt myself and don't you just know it.... it became addictive.

Ok, I'm not exactly t-shirt designer of the year but it's a start. The t-shirts from spreadshirt are of a decent quality and p&p is fairly cheap.

Although probably not in the same league as Sunderland's efforts this is probably where I took the inspiration from.

Are there any marketing or creative types out there looking to help. If anyone has any ideas for slogans or designs, photos that they wouldn't mind being printed on a t-shirt or pointers for how to promote the website or whether I should take this idea to B.F.C. reply to this link or drop me a PM.

T-shirts, by the fans for the fans...

 

Some of them are really good (imho).

Ferenczi one is miles better than club shop tat.

 

Good effort - well done

How does the website work, do you get a % from spreadshirt or what?

 

miles better than what's in the club shop nt

 

I fooking love the Kestrel one

Banrsley, where men are men and pets are Kestrels. Genius

 

What about 'Alan Clarke left Leeds for us!' nt

 

RE: I fooking love the Kestrel one

language bryan,and shouldnt we be working?

 

RE: Good effort - well done

Just added a small comission onto each design. The basically handle all the printing, despatch and monetary transactions. Happy to give a cut to someone who comes up with a design!

 

RE: I fooking love the Kestrel one

Took my inspiration there from Balcony shirts who have designed some t-shirts in the same vein as the

"get lucky in kentucky" and "don't mess with texas" t-shirts.

There's a few more sites...

Does anyone know how you can create a silouhette as per the Che Guevara image?

Can you image a:
Refearn,
Glavin,
Banks,
Futcher?
Currie!

Effort of the sam ilk?

 

how about "My Other Bird's a Kestral"

i think that'd get the humour goin...

 

</p>

I like it</p>

 

"My other bird is a kestrel" T-shirt...your wish is my command!

David Currie in the style of Che Guevara - DECENT PHOTO NEEDED

It would be awesome! Somebody must have a decent photo?

 

suppose it all boils down to what words and images are Barnsley FC trademarks

and im 100% sure they will hate this T-Shirt site and are actively trying to shut it down now - because they dont want other people knocking out merchandise.

I think its sound.

Maybe if they had the initiative and the right prices then these things wouldnt happen.

 

I'm no artist but...



here's my contribution

 

Art is **** nt

 

Nice work.

I've designed one that simply says:
"We all want to boff Paul Reid's Missus".

I bet she's gagging for it too - as he's miles too slow to catch her.

What about these player slogans:

Colgan - "I've got Irish splinters in my arse".
Hassell - "Ginger Genius"
Reid - "Keep your hands off our lass"
Hecky - "I'm as bad as my hair"
Togwell - "I'm Pob, me"
Howard - "Show me the naked press-ups"
McCann - "I'm smart enough to drink in Rotherham during the booze ban"
Devaney - "Lucky heather? Clean your spoons?"
Istvan - "I undertake any of your works. Be very cheap good price"
Nardy - "Wake me up before the rello"
Mattis - "Oh Bury me - far away please"
Williams - "Midfield Maestro"

Any others?

 

How about you? nt

 

good work

although the mattis one would be better as:

Mattis - about as useful as a splinter in the harris
