kiznook Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 I think we need to start with a design. Everyone posts up their designs, we all vote, work from there. As far as T-shirts go, I've got one I made SEVERAL years ago that has actually held up better than my DNW shirt I bought at canby. you know the secret? stencil and rattle-can...no joke, still looks fine after 5 or 6 years (not worn ALL the time) But this method doesn't work on thicker fabric :( Might work on a baseball hat. WE NEED BEANIES AND HOODIES as well as t-shirts...remember day 1 at canby? most of us are in the beautiful pacific northwest, where the sunshine comes in liquid form! Quote Link to comment
KA620 Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 haha, its all good indy510. I would love to see this stuff go into production to keep the site funds up!!! Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 The T shirt, and most wearing apparel for that matter, should have the main focus on the front. I've bought T shirts the other way around, and no one can see or read it if you have a shirt or coat on top of it. (make that a RAIN coat) Mrs datzen runs a work wear and safety supply store and gets me stuff like a $25 Carhartt caps that no one would pay that much for (me either, shhh).. sort of like the Snap-On-Tools of the clothing world. lol Anyway the Carhartt T shirt has a smaller logo on the back and the big printing and colors splashed on the front where you can see it.

Cruzn620 Posted October 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 yeah, i forgot to ask about who owns the rights to images...man i'm sorry, i kind of feel like i tried to hijack this sites stuff and that was not the intent at all, just thinking some gear is a good idea. who ever has the rights to the images and stuff on this site, if you will give me your "blessing" i can get this ball rolling. we can also do the funds in your name or how ever you want to handle it. if you don't have the rising sun or rat logo copyrighted i would think about doing that, those are both great logos and you would secure them (like others said) from somebody stealing them and turning a profit on your work. green bastard...how about your logo? do you have the rights to that one?

yello620 Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 What is involved in getting a copyright? Is there money involved? Lots of money or a little? It's not my site to copyright, but i enjoy and would hate to see it ruined by the wrong person. Jeff it seems to be working good around here. Do we need a donation fund to cover any copyright costs??? I'd be happy to pitch in Jason Quote Link to comment
SHADY280 Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 well if its gonna be reasonable, id go for it. dont forget, datsun guys are somewhat cheap, unless it looks cool, or makes it go faster!! if i dont gotta do anything, its all the better. got too many datto projects on my plate to be runnin around.

INDY510 Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 We should make a truck logo and a 510 logo. I know a local shop that will heat press any logo on a T shirt for $7. And we can make hoodies and hats. What do you guys want? How about $15 for a T shirt and half the money goes to Ratsun. If we sell 10 shirts Ratsun gets $75. Quote Link to comment
KA620 Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 i like that idea indy510. im going to contact the guys at motorsport auto to see if i can find out where they got the keychains made and then we can come up with some designs and make a poll to see who wants to do which designs. Hows that sound? Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 I seen a guy at the Gun range on Friday with a Rising Sun Belt Buckle!!!!!! I got all excited!!!!!!!!!!!! I told JeFF!!!!!!!!!!! http://www.thealley.com/servlet/the-777/Rising-Sun-%231-Belt/Detail I rising Sun Shirt with a 510/521/620 would be fine. Basic shirt everybody can buy or really EZ to sell and get rid of If there is going to be a bike in the background it better be a RD/RZ yamaha 2 STROKE!!!!!!!!!!!w/o a chick! Quote Link to comment
SHADY280 Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 how bout toques? hahahahaha, or skull caps/beanies as you yanks call them. those may have to be stiched. they are great for northwest living. especially in the unheated garage. Quote Link to comment
Cruzn620 Posted October 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 i say we start with the shirts and see how it goes. its been posted many times that we are all tightwads on here! i need a new beanie though!!! anyway, how about this week we all make our t-shirt designs, i have 3 already in my head already, and 2 more if i can get somebody to do a little photoshop work for me. i'm with you hainz on the rd/rz thing...hahaha, i'm restoring a 76 RD400 right now, frame is at the powdercoater! but without getting side tracked....how about on friday somebody create a thread, everybody post their t-shirt designs on there and we will vote on them. the top two or 3 we will produce. fair enough?

yello620 Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 I think that you can can some print shops print our logo's onto heat transfer. Then we could just sell the heat transfer logo and each individual could put the logo on whatever shirt/hoodie that he/she wanted. Or is the idea to make everybody match at an event. I think just the logo makes us match well enough. I drive a datsun so i dont have to match anybody else on the road. Problem--I dont really see any profit for Ratsun by doing this though Jason Quote Link to comment
KA620 Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 i have a cousin who runs his own t-shirt screening and banner place. If you guys figure out and get set on a run of how many shirts and what color Ts you want i can figure something out with him. Im just saying so i can help a family member out and get him the business as well as be a great part of this society and Ratsuns... Quote Link to comment
Cruzn620 Posted October 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 we really want screen printing vs. transfers if we are going to make it worth the money. KA, if you have family in the business, i vote we go through you for the work. the guys i know here are really good, but i like to help out people that are "in" with us if we can!!! the place i do business with, i'm just another customer ya know? but on friday lets all have our tee designs posted up, we'll leave it up for a week to vote, when we get 2 or 3 (up to you all how many options we have) designs voted for, we will figure out what we want to do as far as payment, shipping, profits...that sort of thing. i'm glad you guys are into this idea!

KA620 Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 sounds perfect to me, who wants to go ahead and start the thread for the designs then? Quote Link to comment
