996 Hats and T-Shirts
OK, guys, thanks for all your help in designing a cool 996 hat and T-shirt! Here's the initial thread:
https://rennlist.com/forums/996-foru...996-shirt.html
So, I have been speaking with a friend who can make these, and we can make this a "go," but I need to see if there is enough interest. This is just a "fun" project, not a business venture.
I'm just a Joe Schmoe, not a business, so before putting a huge effort into finalizing things I need to see if at least 50 hats and 50 shirts would sell. Don't want to get stuck with a pile of these.
Details:
1. Hats: The hats will be 100% cotton with adjustable headband, available in two color schemes. The artwork will be embroidered. Check out the link above. I'm thinking very similar as for the 914 hats in the link above.
Below is a very rough prototype. The final hat will be much better quality (the prototype was done on a cheapo "throw-away" hat), but this gives you a general idea. I'm going to move the "996" up a bit closer to the car outline, too.
2. Shirts: They will be 100% preshrunk cotton. There will be four colors available to select from.
I'm thinking black, gray, maroon, and blue. The light colors are easier, since it only takes two colors for the silk screening. Dark colors require three colors, since the image first has to be done in white.
As noted in the original thread, the 996 font is similar to, but not identical to, the Porsche font, since we don't want any copyright issues.
So, for this to work, we need a total of about 50 hats and 50 shirts. I've been working on pricing. Looks like the hats will cost $25 each plus shipping and handling, and the shirts will be $20 each plus shipping and handling. S&H is is anticipated to be about $5 per item (I think there will be a reduced rate for multiple items in an order. The guy that will be doing the production will handle orders, delivery, etc. on a web page set up for this).
So, let's see if there's enough interest. Let me know the following:
1. Number of hats I can count on you for.
2. Number of hats I can count on you for.
If you have any additional input, let me know.
Rough hat prototype, so you can get the general idea:

The T-shirt will be the same design as on the hat, across the front of the shirt. Once I see if there's enough interest, I'll have a prototype made, and we can play with that some.
