Hey. So I'm joining a basketball team with mates for a few laughs on a Tuesday night and of course we need singlets. It's been a good five years since I've played comp basketball.

Where should I go online for cheap, reliable singlets? Thanks all

I got some through a website called Riverwest and they were cheap, fast and brilliant.

Highly recommended.

TWP do some pretty cheap. I think around the $35 mark or something.

That's actually way more expensive than what Riverwest appear to do them for, thanks for the suggestion though Bryce, I did have TWP in mind.

And El_Scorcho did you think Riverwest's website was appalling too? Extremely tough to navigate

Yes. You have to do a bit of work, but they communicated really well and it helped that I was able to sort of mock up how I wanted the team name and numbers to sit on Photoshop.

iirc we paid about $45 a uniform including shorts. The jerseys alone were about $32

Can you PM me the process please mate? Just interested in a bit of a case study, would like to see the designs you made too

There's these guys in our league who wear old school Phoenix Suns jerseys with each players name on it from the late 80's.

They've even got the short shorts down pat.

What ever happened to that bloke from Rockingham wanting new basketball uniforms for his club? Did he end up choosing an entry?

Heh, that reminds me. I'll PM - will be pissed off if he bailed after the hard work people put in.

Apparently this beats the talent of our members.

Just to give you guys an idea of where our thinking is, this is a design from one of our rather talented juniors (15 years old but a rather gifted Graphic Design student at our Local High School) and the design he has submitted for the WABL Uniforms / SBL Home Uniforms. It has to be said that when put to the judging panel and myself, this is definitely a leading contender at the moment if that helps your designs at all!!

I hope this helps everyone with our thinking / what we are after!! And I am more than happy to discuss further should the need arise.

- I picked a design I liked from the cut and sewn section

- I went to the "how to order" page and downloaded the pdf order form, which shows the fonts they offer.

- I picked one I like and used Photoshop to mock up how I wanted it.

- I filled out the form and sent that and my mocked up image to their email address from the how to order page.

- There were a couple of emails back and forth re quotes

- The uniforms arrived about 3 weeks later.

Got these, plus matching shorts. The lighting is a bit off but its black with white.

Should've used a design like your can-am third scorch

Personally not a fan, but oh well, his choice...

I haven't received any clarification saying that was the 'winner' at all, but I'm not confident of the outcome.

Personally I'm going to be very cautious before running any more outside competitions like this as it isn't the first time the board has been 'burned' for all their hard work.

I think perhaps a blanket rule of the competition being for BF members only – otherwise there could easily be another situation where an outside entry supposedly trumps all of BF's entries and we go to all this hard work for nothing.

 

[Jack Stevens]

The "judges" of that competition seemed to hate anything that came from BF. I'm not sure why they even bothered. Scorcho's effort was pretty much exactly what they were looking for but was seemingly dismissed pretty quickly.

Has anyone else noticed that with those external competitions with cash prizes, one or two accounts old accounts with about 10 posts always pops up to enter? It's like they monitor the board but only ever make an effort if they can make money out of it.

 

[El_Scorcho]

What a stupid joke that was.

First the "post the worst logo in the history of sport and wait a bit before telling us it was designed by a dying teenager" fiasco.

Then the total lack of knowledge or respect for our knowledge of good sports design.

The only thing they liked about my entry was the worst thing I submitted by a long way.

Disappointing that Murray didn't use our winner's logo. In fact, they just changed the shield on their old logo and introduced a new wordmark. The old logo was cool already but there were some very worthy entries.

Who remembers the comp in late 2010/early 2011 to design jumpers for the international AFL teams that were apparently going to be made and sent to the winners?


I'm still waiting for my Estonia jumper.
