Poll, Asking all members for thier vote.

[trifive]

Due to the high interest in the great arkwork of Challe, We at Trifive are in the process of deciding if their is interest in making T-Shirts, Hats , Sweetshirts etc, with Pictures of Trifive Vehicles with the Trifive Logo on them , I have commissioned Challe to make us a New Logo and several differant variants of 1955, 1956 and 1957 Photo's that could be Screen Printed with our Trifive logo.

I have also Contacted another member of trifive ( Randy 57 (http://www.trifive.com/forums/member.php?u=312) ) who owns a Screen Printing Company and ask him to work with myself, and Challe and the membership of Trfive to pursue this idea.

I then talked with Mike ( MikeKy55 (http://www.trifive.com/forums/member.php?find=lastposter&f=53) ) He suggested that we should put a poll, to see if their is interest from our members.

Here is a link to a thread that shows Challe's Talent as an artist, these are not the actual photo's that we would use because we will have new ones done especially for Trifive.

http://www.trifive.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3338

Also here is an email from Randy 57, that explains some options, I will list them in the poll, please vote.

Otis for the survey these are the potential items I would suggest. I tossed in the embroidery idea just to see how it compares to silk screen. If we were to do a small chest in embroidery it would look real nice, same on hats. Large prints are too expensive and need to be done as silk screen. It can be done with silk screen on the back full size and small embroidery on the front.

This should give you enough info to poll on! Just leave out anything you want if you feel its too much. I in no way am suggesting we do all the variables, but this is just to give us an idea of where to start at.

Baseball caps
Tee shirts, long sleeve

Sign me up:D

[MikeKy55]

Pretty good response. Glad to see the interest. I'm sure up for some items.

[1957chevy]

I have to congratulate Challe for his marketing success -- I know this isn't the only site he's targeted, and hopefully for him he has just as much success at the other sites, too!

I like the idea of t-shirts and caps, even a nylon wind-breaker jacket would be cool.

[prostreet]

I like the Idea sweats and T's work well for me, Im tired of looking at mine. :eek:

[Dale's57]

I'm in. That sure is some beautiful art work.:D

[deadcarny]

Count me in..!! Incredibly great art work Challe..!!

[55fazzi]

I'm In!!!!!!!
It's almost show season. Any chance we might see the product before summers end?

[Sweden]

Hi

Count me in.

A great idea , think People all over the world is wearing Tri Fives Logo.

[ETriggs]

If there were polo shirts/golf shirts with the logo, I could wear those to work! The t-shirts would be great to wear around the neighborhood and to work in, and a sweatshirt to wear to the gym/store on cold days! It could be Tri-Five logo 24/7! :D
Eldon

[Caps57]

I am in for what ever is decided! Keep the Membership posted! Challe Rules!

[dseale4888]

I'm in for T's, sweats, and jackets.
Dave

[briarpatch]

Challe's artwork on the back of a no-pocket tee shirt will be awesome! No-pocket golf shirts w/Tri-5 logo embroidered on left front is also desireable. THANKS - Stan

[Tuned55]

Great Idea! White or grey Tee's and sweatshiirts for me. I feel they should include the .com on there also to promote this site.


Thanks

[UH-1 driver]

ditto.

[Dale's57]

UH-1 Driver


Huey's are cool,

When I was a jarhead and got to play with CH-46's & CH-53's. I sure do miss them.

Think I could put a GE-T58-3 in my 57?? :eek:

Dale

[Tuned55]

I didn't see in the options for a one piece polyester jump suit?:D

[MikeKy55]

Or halter tops...:eek: :eek: :D :D

[Randy 57]

Or halter tops...:eek: :eek: :D :D


Hey Mike you laugh, but a friend asked me to make embroidered thongs with their law enforcement star on them, so I did and what a hit they were! My only concern was for the one guy that ordered them in all different sizes:eek:


Hey Otis what a way to advertise at Spring Break!:D

[1957chevy]

I wouldn't mind a grey t-shirt with a small logo on the left chest and a large pic on the back.

[Sweden]

Hi

All members come on and make your vote so whe can get some cloth to put on our bodys! :)

[keith]

My vote is in.

Looks like the preshrunk cotton is pulling ahead.

Like the idea of the longsleeve.

And us hair challenged guys need a baseball cap.:D

[1957chevy]

My mother told me that baldness is the result of wearing hats and caps --- old wive's tales are hard to get over! I wear caps on occasion, but can't stop wondering if that's why I'm "hair challenged!"

[trifive]

Challe is working on the artwork now, as soon as I get some photo's I will post

Otis:)

[dseale4888]

Thanks for the update Otis.
Dave

[ih8rice]

Seriously no thongs or spagetti string Ts? :D

[1957chevy]

We'll still waiting, Otis...on pins and needles! :)

[trifive]

I know I am in a hurry too, but the New logo and artwork is gonna be around for along time, so we are trying to get it perfect, Challe ( Dan ) is working hard and has already given us some samples, hope to have more info and something for everyone to look at in the next few days.

Otis:)

[dseale4888]

I don'tmind the wait and I'll express my thanks to all who are working to make it happen.
Dave

[oleblu72]

I would like to have a pocket on my tee's, maybe two tone colors, colored trim band around the arms and neck, I think an embroidered jacket would be cool but expensive. Mark

[krugs56belair]

I would like to have a pocket on my tee's to let me know were to get it

[twolaneblacktop]

Be honest Otis, what's the chance of having a black and orange 55????? It would look good on a t-shirt blowing the doors off a white 57!!!

[Randy 57]

Where were you guys a year and half ago when we posted this?:D

Tank tops!!!!, only if your a girl and then I'll make it in a french cut style:cool:


Please feel free to order what we have in stock, which is about 150 tee shirts, when its gone then we can talk about new colors and styles:)

count me in on tee's and hats. hope to see a few nomad options in the work as well

[finallyhavea57]

Randy,

I was not a member a year and a half ago and I responded to this post because someone else had renewed it!

As for you comment about my requesting tank tops being added I find your reply offensive. I am really surprised that you only think girls wear them.

Guess I might be on the wrong site!

I wonder if we have a failure to communicate here -- tank tops to me are what we called "muscle shirts" when I was growing up in Minneapolis. Maybe in California tank tops are girls shirts. Kind of like calling a girl's shirt a blouse and man's shirt a, well, shirt!

I don't think Randy was trying to insult anyone.

I can only wish I had responded with a "Me too" when you suggested tank tops.

[cffisher]

Hey Don sorry for you being offended, it was the last thing I was trying to do. I don't think only girls wear them. It is just they don't normally sell all that well compared to tee shirts and when we had to make the original decision what to stock we went with tees. Unlike some sites that are connected with a company that makes iron on decals as each order comes in we do them in mass quantities of silk screened and embroidered items to save costs. If enough people feel they want them I could take special orders and have them made up.

Again sorry for the humor missing its mark:(

Randy

[1957chevy]

and I'd like to add that Randy wouldn't intentionally insult anyone. His products are great, the service is great, and he's an all around great guy!

[finallyhavea57]

Randy,

Accepted! The humor in it did miss the mark on me and that's why I responded that way. As I mentioned in the past I do have one of your black polo's and have worn it several times. Just gets too hot in the summer for it.

I don't wear tee's because I don't like clothing close to my neck. Just bothers me, and therefore the tanks are great. I don't wear "wifebeater's" though.

Don

[Randy 57]

Don and others how would a tank top be with just the small front logo, might be too hot to wear with that heavier logo on the back.

Don going to Lodi (http://www.grapefestival.com/LodiStreetRodShow/Default.aspx) this weekend?

Randy

[1957chevy]

Randy -- are you talking about a tank top with the embroidered logo on the front only? That would be great!

[finallyhavea57]

Randy,

Of course the main thing would be for the logo to be recognizable. I would think a small one on the front fine but also a larger one on the back would be cool.

I would stay away from the white material though. For that matter I do have black tanks that I wear and they are fine in the hot weather.

Thanks for considering it!

Don

[phillg]

Challe your stuff is great, good work

[finallyhavea57]

Randy,

Somehow I missed the comment on Lodi. Had not seen a flyer up here either.

Need to see what the wife and I do tomorrow.

Thanks for the alert though.

Don

[rlm62]

Great art work!:tu But, I didn't see any 210 wagons:eek:;)

[jeffs55]

How's it coming Otis? Will you have some samples at Pigeon Forge?

[Sledgehammer]

The HAMB does these and I think Ryan scores a lot of money to maintain his site. I would definitely buy some simple design ones.

[twin57]

i just ordered hat t and sweat shirt from tri-five store last week but i would like long sleeve t-shirts if avabile

[Randy 57]

Dave I'm shipping your order out tomorrow, just got real busy this week with "real" job. Your getting the closest thing to long sleeve I have, the sweatshirt, just pretend its a heavy style tee shirt:rolleyes:

Thanks,
Randy

[mr 265]

I dont really like the large type picture on the chest or back ,it feels like iam wearing plastic and it makes me sweat alot --thats my 2 cents---:cool:

[randyfox]

Voted good sir!

Black pre-shrunk cotton shirt with a small silk screening on the left chest, and larger one on the back. Makes for a good hot-rod shirt in my opinion!

[Randy 57]

Almost, the small front design is embroidered with a full size silk screened design on back. No XL black left though, hope you need a different size:rolleyes: check the store (https://www.printedimage.net/proddetail.asp?prod=Tshirt)

Randy

[bryant weldon]

Count me in to purchase some of the items. Great idea.

[Booty]

All I've ever seen are two door TriFive silkscreened tee-shirts - how about some 4 Door ones for us 4-Door people? :)

[Randy 57]

All I've ever seen are two door TriFive silkscreened tee-shirts - how about some 4 Door ones for us 4-Door people? :)

Most shirts are based on ability to sell, while 4 doors are fine they just don't excite the general public as much, thus shirts with four doors only wouldn't be a big seller and a money loser for the printer. Most don't understand but to print just one silk screen shirt you have close to $300 bucks or more invested befoe the first shirt is printed:happy0030: Kind of hard to get your money back on that. They newer systems that will print just one shirt directly from a jet style printer would be more cost effective and many places will do them for you from your own photograph for about $20.00 each. They come out good too:tu Just the printer costs 20k to 30K, that would take a long time to get your money back.

With that said I do believe I have seen at least one button up style with four doors on them.

Randy

[rusty belair]

pocket pocket pocket pockets are verry handy please offer shirt pockets .a lot of others including myself wont wear a shirt without one.although i did wear a trifive to peigeon forge gust so some members would identify me and meet
options are nice

[Booty]

All I've ever seen are two door TriFive silkscreened tee-shirts - how about some 4 Door ones for us 4-Door people? :)

Randy, I understand and I almost added that to my previous post, the fact that the reason you don't see them is because they're not as popular as the 2 doors. Thanks for the suggestion to have my own picture printed up - I'll check that out. :)

[Donnyboy]

please long sleeve t shirts with stuff on sleeves too - I am covered in tattoos and sometimes like to hide them

[rayharris]

Great Idea. :anim_25: bowtie-trifive

[ozy56]

count me in. I agree with Randy on the embroided Chevrolet Crest on the front and the silk screening

[carcrazyjim]

I like the idea of TriFive clothing, but being a pretty big guy I usually cannot find this type of clothing offered in BIG sizes. And even then, the BIG sizes usually shrink in length and therefore are too short after being laundered. Sooooo.............unless I see preshrunk 3X TALL I'm out of luck!

[blackjackbill]

Please try To have Some Tee's With A Pocket. A shirt without A pocket Is a Pain.

[Randy 57]

Wow is this post still floating around? We asked that question back in 07 when we were first thinking of doing clothing to help spread the word of bowtie-trifive. Since then we have done hundreds of shirts, special shirts for Pigeon Forge as well as sending them world wide! From the statements here I have to believe you guys have not been to the bowtie-trifive store (https://www.printedimage.net/products.asp?cat=10).

Here is one that Mel56 posted last week from the Reno event.
http://i867.photobucket.com/albums/ab238/Mel56/Hot%20August%20Nights/han020.jpg Since then we stopped doing the backs, too many complained they made the shirt hot in the summer. So we had another pole and it was decided to go with both pocketed and non pocketed shirts with only the front bow tie logo, it cut the price down a bit as well. The non pockets have been outselling the pocketed ones two to one, but both have sold well, not to mention the variety of hats.

Check out the store (https://www.printedimage.net/products.asp?cat=10) and see if there is something there for you,
Randy
