There was a thread discussing this matter a few years ago.
We even agreed on a Minuteman mascot for the NEHTF. ...then nothing |

Some of those logos were hideous, so I'm not surprised none of the shirts were made.

hahaha ^
Maybe I should say . . . does anybody have logos or ideas for logos? I may be getting in a bit over my head, or a little ahead of myself, but I'm thinking: 1) Talk to the mods or whoever it would concern. (I have already posted an inquiry in the Store sub-forum) 2) Set a realistic deadline for logo submissions, and accept logo submissions from our fellow New Englanders. (Hopefully this would fall under a mods responsibilities, but would not be opposed to doing it myself if necessary.) 3) Set up a poll in the NE Hometown Forum with the logo submissions and a predetermined deadline to vote. I think I'm being a little optimistic about how easy this is going to be, but any ideas or input would be helpful. Im posting a link to the inquiry thread in the store forum, please drop a post if your interested so the store mod can see there is an interest. Thanks guys NEHTF - Shirts? |

I cross linked this thread and the store thread to GD
http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_1_5/1232016_.html&page=1&sr=0 We need a logo that encompasses New England as a whole. Which may be the reason they have been reluctant to do this so far. Someone brought up Using a Minute Man which makes sense. |

I'd be in, too. While I have no problem with the Minuteman logo, I'm in CT and would like to see something more that would encompass all 6 NE states. Maybe something along the lines of the outline of the NE states with some additional artwork inside of that on the interior? Could we use part of the AR15.com logo?

last time we did this no one could agree to the logo.....IIRC we needed a minimum number of folks to commit to buy....the usual "divided we fall" stuff LOL....
To use the logo we need site approval, as it's trademarked. I don't think getting an official NE HT tshirt would be tough to get approved, though. |

Thanks, Badlatitude, for that link. However, there's no "New England" hometown background for us to use. If they were to add one, I'll bet we could come up with a suitable logo.

Rome That's the point of this lol. We don't need any minimum commitment anymore. The shirts are printed on a custom order basis now. We really just need their "artist" to make up a darn logo we can select from the stores drop down menu of logos. Some cool ideas have been proposed. In fact combing them would work. Just like other multi state HTFs it could be the outline of our area with something like a minute man etc etc. I'm no artist. I cant even free hand a straight line lol |

Something like this inside the arfcom bolt would be perfect. I think getting together a slew of designs and voting on them in a poll would be the most fair way to get around any disagreements. Many of the states team shirts have 1 or more designs, so we might even be able to use the top two. Badlatitude, thank you for linking those. |

J563, that's a great start. Could we eliminate the blue background (although in NE, we are mostly "blue" states LOL) and stick something in there like some hardware or whatever?? Rome |

How about this idea.
Have the state outlines with each stated colored in their respective state flags or seals. Our about the AR15 bolt logo in the center of a circle of state seals. later |

I basically work in the industry so I'll offer some insight:
Logos need to be simple. If you are screen printing, each color adds another screen and another step to the printing process. Minimum order size. You need to do at least 24 or the cost of setup and printing per shirt is expensive and in some cases more than just embroidering a logo. (Left chest logo as an example) Shipping costs. With everyone spread out over New England, shipping costs will be the killer, not to mention the time involved in sorting and coordination of what goes where. Cotton costs. Prices of t-shirts have basically doubled over the last year. Just a few things to think about. With a simple logo, you're looking at about $8-10 each depending on the brand of shirt for S-XL, with 2X+ in the range of $13 - $15 each, not including shipping costs. |

I've got a design in mind that Im going to pass to my buddies wife (marketing wiz) to draw up for us. Might be a few weeks though. It will be a map of NE like shown above but blacked out instead of blue, and instead of having the states listed around it I think we should put some sort of New England proverb (like your idea) around it, and then encircled by the ARFCOM bolt logo. Well see what it looks like when it comes out. Id be interested to know what people think about wording and such as far as ARFCOM goes. I think it would be much cooler if it wasn't a blatant gun shirt, but more or less a little hidden meaning that only ARFCOM-ers would recognize. IE The arfcom bolt instead of AR-15.com or something. A quick google search comes up with a few proverbs I like- "We cannot do everything at once, but we can do something at once." - Calvin Coolidge "Dont ever take a fence down until you know why it was put up." - Robert Frost "Where we stand is not as important as the direction in which we are heading." - Oliver Wendell Holmes "The best way out is always through." - Robert Frost "Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path, and leave a trail." - Ralph Waldo Emerson Or we could always make something up- First to found, last to fall - Sons of Liberty I understand its not just my shirt though, so I still think it should all go up for vote. |

This just came off the ARFCOM newsletter:
"HTF T-Shirts The ever popular HTF T-Shirts continue to expand as new states are added. Check out the current offerings, and if your region does not yet have a design, then get to it! Some states have several shirts already, so get with your group, we'll help you come up with a design and then the HTF can vote until everyone agrees on a design." |

Its not like it used to be where they are going to pre order shirts and get shafted with them. It also gives us the ability to have personal shirts. You guys should check it out.
You pick your color and what art you want where and send it. Then they make the shirt and mail it out. It has already been said by the mods submit art/ideas and they will hook us up.

Personally, I hate everything about the god damn state of CT with exception of my friends and family. I'm very proud to call myself a New Englander, and it actually makes me happier to know that than to think about being from CT. I actually can not wait to move back to VT some day. I would not buy a shirt with just CT on it.
I think its funny because just a few weeks ago all the guys saying they only want CT on their shirt are the same guys that were telling a guy not to move here!?!? Heres a reminder Convince me to move to CT I don't mean to interrupt your gay hooker burying romp in the woods either, but I have the courtesy not to trash your threads, and I would appreciate the same. If you don't want a NE shirt don't buy one, if you don't want to help getting them made then don't, if you don't have something constructive to say in a thread, just don't post in it. Were trying to get something constructive done here, both for the site and its patrons, and it would be appreciated if we could keep it to business. Your more than welcome to go start a gay hooker bashing thread on your own. Sorry, rant off. Must have got up on the wrong side of the bed today. |
