Or... how about we print a second run exactly like the 1st so we don't have to pay the printer an assload of money for new screens, color, the hassle, etc.
It's not like getting these made is a 5 minute just throw it together deal. If you guys want something different from the original design, you should have said so months ago in the thread created specifically for that purpose.
Now, *if* we do a second run, it will be exactly like the 1st. The reason we get such a great deal on these hoodies is because the guy that does the printing is a close friend to MattR, and because we specifically go out of our way to make things as easy as possible for him. That means having the artwork completed and ready to print w/o them having to make changes, that means having all our quantities squared away so it's easy for him to order everything at once, and it means not pestering him with changes, special orders, and phone calls twice a day checking on things. The printer isn't making a lot of money off us, so I hate to take up anymore of his time than necessary away from his customers that are paying much more. Without the hook up we've got, we'd probably have to pay $40-$50 each for these hoodies... 3 color, 12 screens, 3 locations... not to mention the awesome stock they're printed on. These are fantastic hoodies, at a really affordable price. I'd like to keep it that way.
So, please understand the reason why I'm so resistant to go crazy with the custom orders. I too would love to have some SECCS long sleeve shirts for the race season, but we *just* finished the hoodies order, and chances are if we run them now, we'll sell a lot less than if we wait a bit. Besides, Reno SCCA will probably have a new shirt in the works before April (something tells me I'll be designing it
) and those will be available in long sleeves to support the trials program.
