American Warbow Society (I HAVE AN IDEA FOR US)

[Will Carothers]

I just thought of something, i know that us warbow shooters are so few, almost a subculture, within a subculture, within another subculture haha, so what if we were really able to show to the world who we are and what we do. I think it would be really neat for a few of us in the american society to try to come up with a design for t shirts, hats, jackets etc: for us to buy.

I think it would be awesome to be able to show how we belong to such a unique group.

Any suggestions, or ideas?

Hey Will!

I this post and thought "DOH!" I had said in some past emails that I would start working on this very project! However, life and its busy-ness have foiled my plans.  So I renew my statement and vow to tackle this project! My father owns a sign company and does all sorts of promotional apparel, hats, cups, patches etc.  So I'll be working with him on something and get back to you all in a timely manner!

The attached image was designed by one of our members named Jay Schwanke and if I get the "go ahead" from him we'll make some prototype promo stuff with it.

Dag,
Some promotional stuff would be great.
Have at it!!

If you need to mess with line wgts or boarders feel free. If you want me to help let me know.

Ps:the CWBS logo and shirts are cool!!

Thanks!!
Jay

Awesome, Thank you thank you Jay!

The Canadian Warbow Society does have an impressive website indeed!

[Jay]

Dag,
What do you have in mind?

Window sticker for my truck
Tee shirt?
Patch?

[Dag]

All of those are all easily viable options!  Mugs, hats, keychains, the list could go on.  I love the idea of tee shirts, window decals, and patches!

I think t shirts would be great to start, with the logo on the front and a slogan, even a quote, i also think, depending on how many members we have we could list out names on it

not sure how i missed this thread, but i also think that's a great idea having some promotional stuff to use

Here is just a little design for a tshirt, i used Jay's logo, but i couldn't make it all the colors for some reason.
Let me know what you think guys!

I would like the logo on the front moved over the left breast.  The back looks awesome.

Nice job Will!
Are you going to keep trying to get the colors to work? I think the logo would really jump at you in color.

Where did you get the archer art? Make sure it is not copy written.

Keep up the good work and maybe e-mail these pics to the rest of the AWS members in case they don't have a chance to check out this great forum as often as they would like to.

You might also toss it on the facebook page for feed back.

i can make the logo go to the side, but i cant use more than 2 different colors on a shirt, and if i do the full color, it would have to be on an all white shirt or it turns out odd.

I think the black and white looks cool too, but im not sure



Here is the white one, but, I do not think it is as nice as the other 2.



Let me know what you all think, but the design has to have only two color on the double toned shirts,
or on the simple shirt, it can have 4 colors on the front and 1 on the back.

wow, i think they look great, i like the black the best, then the maroon , is it possible to make the front logo a little bigger to stand out more?
thanks and keep up the great job on these

These are really nice Will! I really like the black/white, and maroon/white best as well. They are very contemporary and sporty looks.

My father has all the equipment to make the prints, even in color.  Also, A couple of suggestions he had for the shirts and possibly decals were, locating the "American Warbow Society" text off of the image and placing it nearby in some arrangement. His other suggestion was to either create or find a more detailed eagle. Keep the eagles posture and shield the same just a little more detailed and/or fierce looking. That is not meant to punk on you Jay by any means! Those were just his holistic observations and suggestions as a sign/advertising business owner. So, I told him Id bring it up to you all!

This is really awesome you guys

Also, not sure if anyone else saw Jake Fenwick's post on facebook, but the CWBS has implemented memberships cards. Looks cool to me, perhaps that is also something the AWBS should consider?

I like the maroon best followed by the black.  Looks more distinctive.
