T-shirts for Harvard away

[crodger1]

I agree... especially for an away game (if the Road Trip portion is on there).

LGR! (Just over 2 hours away now!)

I agree with Graham.  A sea of red would have the greatest effect.

Count me in. . .I'll take a medium:-P

thank you for all your support.

ok, so we'll do red with white writing.
road trip 2003 can be changed to february 15, 2003, and the shirt will be long-sleeved, right? it will still wind up to be lke $30. does anyone have ideas on places to get it printed yet? i have had individual shirts printed at the shop @ the commons and they have done a good job (also no S&H charges to get to me). i'm not sure how we'd distribute them to everyone- prob by shipping, unless we wanna hand them out in front of the rink?

Why be specific about the date?  You're spending $20+ on a shirt that's only "current" once, and then forever after is merely "commemorative."

Mike, it might make sense to get a general headcount through numerous channels.  Maybe you can get a more scientific count from Elf, through the Cornell Club of Boston, and any other outlets that people might be able to suggest.  In fact, if it were me, I might even ask the Cornell Club to make a donation toward the cost of the shirts, as to lower the price for the end/retail customer.  You might then plan to print 10-20% more than that number of shirts....seeing as a) many alums/students/fans who didn't know about this project will want to buy one on the spot and b) even those who say no initially might have a change of heart when many other Faithful are in red.

Another way to sample would be to estimate the number of tickets sold to Cornell fans and then the percentage of those people who will want shirts.

And I agree with Beeej, why be specific on date?  These can potentially be used for years to come. :-)

Merely suggestions of course; as any level of dedication to this is, I'm sure, appreciated by us all!!

Yeah... the problem is that the address you have it linking to is on your hard drive, which is all well and good for you, but when we try to view c:\\harvard.jpeg, we don't have it - some of our computers don't even have c:\\ at all.

What you have to do it upload the picture to somewhere online and then link to that. Your ISP will almost certainly have a few megs of space available for you to host a web page, so you can put it there an then use that URL between the IMG tags.

No offense, but you ain't going to get money from CCOB. Apparently, they didn't get the money they usually get from Cornell, so as a result we members have to pay twice the ticket amount for all events, in addition to our dues. Example, the Club got HU/CU football tickets for $6, however, we all had to pay $12. Thus, I haven't figured out what benefits I get for being in the club, except to get access to Harvard hockey tickets a little earlier. You can try, but if they were to give you money, it would just come from the members, so maybe you should just charge us more like they do.

I used a t-shirt printing place last year out on Hanshaw Rd. I can't remember the name though. They printed 90 quality t-shirts for me at a good price (long sleeve under $20 pp). They were also quick and friendly. Look 'em up in the phone book and ask them for a quote too.

Dear all,

I have made an executive decision and ordered the Tshirts through T Shirt Expressions on the commons. They are red, long sleeved, with white silk screen printing on the front and back. They will be ready by THE HOME HARVARD GAME (get them out early). I have ordered 30, (10m, 10l, 10xl). I am selling them to some people on campus, and am bringing the remaining 20-25 to the harvard game on the 22nd to sell pretty quietly in section A. I would suggest that anyone who would like a shirt, and will be at the game should buy it there. The price will be $20. If I don't have the size you wanted, or if I run out, the T-shirt shop has 30 extra ready to be made within one day's notice, and I can bring them to the Brown game. After that, I plan to sell them at the Harvard game. If you can't make any of those games, and won't be on campus this semester, I can mail the shirts out, I guess. In any case, I'll have the first batch for Nov 22. My seat is row 9 in section A, on the aisle between A and B. Hope to see everyone there, and buying shirts to support the Red against the grade inflated overranked crimson.

Take care,
Mike

On a sidenote, do you think I will run into alot of trouble selling the shirts in Lynah? I know that Cornell has its rules for putting its name on shirts, and selling things on university property. I'm gonna try to get in good with the usher who has policed our aisle for the past 3 years and keep the sale quiet.

Isn't that sort of a silly question to be asking in a public, widely-read forum - and after the fact?  You've pretty much made your bed at this point.
