    a couple of years ago, we made a batch of BC shirts. now i have ran out. the only ones left are XL and 2XL (if you want one, let me know). so it is time for a new design and a new batch.

    i am hoping to go the same route, a simple white T-shirt with a pocket size front and a large back design.

    the only thing is, we need a new design. and i am hoping forum members can help me out on that. last time we were fortunate to have our member wirey who made us some really nice ones. i wonder if he is still around. we have gained a lot of members since, maybe we have another few talented graphics designers around?

    the criterion is very simple. we need a palm size logo in front, and a 11x14 inches back design. the limit is at most 3 colours to simplify the printing procedure as well as printing cost.

    so please submit your designs here... we will choose a winner and i promise a good prize for the winner... :)

    NOTE:

    the design must be an original design.

    Great News!

    I will put off buying any more t-shirts for a while. BC t-shirt is my most worn item (outside of work shirt and tie)!

    I am sure there are many talented designers on BC now.

    Can you make the shirts in microfiber/dri-fit/polyester material? Or have some available in this material?

    Thanks!

    it will unfortunately jack up the cost by a large margin. let's get the design first, where it gets printed can be arranged if one is prepared to pay the cost. but i believe the majority will be the simple cotton style shirt. i am going to go with a different brand this time. the Hanes we used last time was nice and heavy, but i find that they do shrink over time...

    I think the arm holding the racket looks dangerousley like a Nike logo. I can see the BF Vs Nike court case now!

    wow never noticed that until you mentioned it. I'm sure we have one member in BC that is a lawyer than could defend us. Bring Nike on. If we win we can sue them and get them to make badminton apparel and rackets.:rolleyes:

    how 'bout personalized BC t-shirts, additional cost but i guess many would pay to have their own faces on their very own BC tshirts. hehe very easy to do on photoshop once you get the hang of it - no chance for mass printing tho. lol

    2nd, I only wear microfiber/polyester-type shirts when I play as well. That way, I only bring one shirt and I use microfiber towels to dry myself. Works great. A lot better than bringing 5-7 shirts. :p
