Mega Thread The Port Store Mega Thread

[CharlieKelly]

t-shirt designs I've come up with and why I would do a better job than the current merch designers:

a plain black t-shirt with just the New Era PAFC monogram on the front, that's it, something like this:

a gray t-shirt with just the words PORT in block letters on it, that's it, as mentioned before with the picture of Mac from Always Sunny

a name t-shirt parody (like below) which just lists first names in Helvetica font

Port's could just be:

Travis &
Chad &
Ollie &
Robbie &
Hamish &
Ken &
Kochie

or

Warren &
Chad &
Gavin &
Dewie &
Choco

or

Russell &
Jack &
Geoff &
Fos


the t-shirts should go back to basic, minimal, simple, clean designs, no overuse of teal, faux-heritage s**t or slogans, I don't want to wear a t-shirt that says PAFC Port Adelaide Football Club Power Magpies AFL SANFL est. 1870 2004 Premiers Alberton Oval Adelaide Oval South Australia Australia Planet Earth Milky Way...unless the italicised sentence was incorporated into a minimalist t-shirt design

These sorts of shirts i'm fairly sure began with the Beatles

John&
Paul&
George&
Ringo.

I think for the sake of clarity you'd probably want to keep it to 4 names.

Travis&
Robbie&
Hamish&
Chad.

or similar.

I think most here agree and similar designs have been floated in this thread before. Unfortunately, with regards to the PA monogram design, New Era own the rights to that design so we could only use it on our merch if New Era produced it. But yeah, you're 100% on the money with the path we should be going down.

 

[Zakk Wylde]

We should release some PAFC neck/chin tatts....

Why don't we just offer them some cash for it, pritty simple hit them with a low ball figure if they say no tell them t go frk them self and don't stock their products.

If we don't stock the monogram then it is worthless.

 

[El_Scorcho]

We really, really need to get the rights to the monogram, but the Port store isn't in the state at the moment to do so.

I'm guessing even Anton didn't realise how big those caps would get, so nobody bothered to try to get the rights to the monogram.

I don't think New Era would be in the business of being bullied by incredibly small time clients by their standards.

We'd be better going to them and trying to strike a fair deal. We want to use the monogram more often, how do we go about doing so etc.

I'll get one on my face for a bit of this.

Did that ******* picture really need a repost?

I'm guessing the value proposition isn't there.
(ie the amount we'd have to pay them vs the amount we're likely to receive in revenue selling the merch.)

I'd agree at this point, but the merchandise side of things is such a rabble at the moment it's impossible to know how seriously we've taken getting hold of it

I would be very surprised if KT isn't aware of the situation.
It's probably gone onto the "once we've nailed a few big things" pile.

I'd bloody well hope so.

I spent a few hours making a Port version of one of these t shirts on a site late last year.

If I can remember where it was I will post the link.

"Would you like fries with that"

you might laugh at his face tat, but most of us wouldn't say no to those two birds

is this it?

shut up and take my money

 

[Stryke]

Nah this is mine. It says 'PAFC' on back up the top

 

[SilenceOz]

I say that PAFC should hire, Stryke, me and this dude to design their clothes.

 

[El_Scorcho]

It really has to be Helvetica and a good size on the shirt or there's no point.

 

[SilenceOz]

I feel this would be a better scarf as well.
