Shirts

Designs:

• design we got last year: - just for reference, we're not getting the same shirt again, unless people really want to...

• Basic floorpi logo (with or without any text) - this has been done a lot in the past, similar to last year's, but not exactly the same. (no design link yet)

• Simpsons: color scheme 1 (grey on black), color scheme 2 (black on blue)

• Flaming pie: color scheme 1 (red on black), color scheme 2 (colors on black), color scheme 3 (colors on white)

• Many/Mini pies: color scheme 1 (orange/peach on black)

• Walking pie: color scheme 1 (orange/peach on black), color scheme 2 (same on blue), color scheme 3 (same on red)

• Heart Pie (seriousness of this design left to your determination): color scheme 1 (red on pink), color scheme 2 (pink on black)

• Sketch (final version wouldn't be so... sketchy?): color scheme 1 (colors on black), color scheme 2 (colors on white)

• Pielings: color scheme 1 (colors on grey), color scheme 2 (colors on white)

• Pi Digits: something like this

• Pi/Pie: something like this

• Wheelchair fire: multi color on black

• Turtle on its back: multi color, or on a shirt

• Catapult: multi color on black

Notes:

• If you can't see the design in the retrieve link given, click on the shirt and it'll take you to a window where you can zoom in

• Price depends on quantity ordered and the number of colors of printing (sides counted separately)

• Every extra color per side costs an extra $1-2 per shirt

• If we order 20 shirts with one color (about what we did last year) the shirts will be about $10 each

• That quote is for regular cotton shirts (we ordered Hanes Tagless last year, but Champion, Port and Company, Gildan, and Anvil all have similar shirts for similar prices). American Apparel shirts are $3-4 more per shirt. Shirts with pockets are $2 more per shirt.

Timeline:

• Designs to Rachel (remeyer) by earlier than today

• Final designs have been emailed out for voting

• Vote by Wednesday July 30 11:59 PM (EST)

• Final design chosen by first of August, any final tweaks made, shirts ordered Monday 8/4

• Shirts arrive week before rush starts

$favorite colors:

least favorite colors:

would be even more awesome if:

designs you wouldn't get:

if they exist, improvements that mean you would get one:

$preferences on type of shirt: (meaning brands, tagged/tagless, % cotton, pockets...)

$how much are you willing to spend: (read the notes in the wiki for details. in summary cost is highly variable on # of colors & also depends on type of shirt & number ordered. last year's were $10)

if you answered the last question with a number less than 8.5 don't continue and don't send this email. if everybody on hall got a shirt & they only had one color they wouldn't get cheaper than that...
