Now that the so-called festive season is over and we have (hopefully) returned to a measure of sobriety, we can start to make serious plans for LM in June.
We did not have the CA T-shirts last year because a) I didn't have the time to organise it being in the middle of a major house refurbishment project and b) no-one else wanted to run with it.
Picking up a few comments on the forum, it seems the T-shirts were missed by some, so firstly, I'd like to get a feel for the quantities that will be involved. If there appears to be sufficient demand, I will begin the (long and laborious!!) design process.
So can you indicate how many shirts you will require.
Many thanks
Del
-
Most probably a few DfHers would be interested, I for one.
Did I sent you the standard design for '10 or '11? Cannot remember, too many things happened in between :-X
-
1 here.
-
And another 2
-
At least 3
-
At least 3 for me.
-
One for me please
-
Two for me please.

At least 2, possibly around 10 depending on what I organise for folks in the gang (last year did shot glasses)
-
One for me and another for my mate Purdu please
-
2 for me

Not sure what the rest of the Boys want, as we are ALL back this year. Put me down for 2x XXL please. There could be more to follow.

Clearly you are a glutton for punishment, Delboy!
-
Minimum of 6 please, but I am sure this will increase once I have spoken to the rest of the team.
-
I'd have to confirm it but probably 3 or 4 for Zarses.
Happy new year Del, by the way!!

Looks like it's on, Del. Counting 52-ish so far :D
-
2 for me, 1 mens, 1 fems
-
At least 2 for me

As for the rear design, as long as we stick to the same setup that is...
Out of the top of my head, so far we've had Steve McQueen ('06), FordGT ('07), Aston Martin ('08) and Jaguar ('09).
Any suggestions? Porsche? Derek Bell? Fewwawi? Jacky Ickx?
Mercedes '99? ;D
-
917? :P
-
It's the Corvette's 50th anniversary of racing at Le Mans this year.
Always one of my favourites and I dare say that we'd sell a few t-shirts to our cousins across the pond?

Sounds great to me, I love the Vette's
-
Nice idea 8)
-
As it's an anniversary and the 'Vettes are gorgeous, sounds like a plan to me too. Pity T-shirts don't have sound though.....

I thought the Corvette anniversary was last year (I may be wrong).

You might have a point. Then again, come over to DfH on MB, and no-one will care :D
-
You're right Ade - it was last year and we had the t shirts to prove it!
-

I hate to get all "legal eagle" about this... but actually, an anniverary happens EVERY year! :police:
F
-
You're right Ade - it was last year and we had the t shirts to prove it!
So have I and I didn't spot the gaff! ::)
Nevertheless, we haven't done the 'Vettes yet so why not this year? Although don't know if there are any significant (especially for Fran) anniversaries this year?
Still think we should do a 917 one year - iconic LM car - ditto the Ferrari 250 LM some time.
-
Still think we should do a 917 one year - iconic LM car -
Well, it won in 1971 so that will be 40 years (we missed the 1970 win anniversary)
-
SAINT SATURNIN this year are celebating Jaguar, so i read in a Jag mag.
And the E-type is 50 years old young this year.
And it is still a nice car, small (narrow) but nice :)
not sure the years they entered Le Mans or Sebring.
-
It's 917 for me - why don't we have a poll?
-
*agrees with 917 design idea*
For decent graphics we should beg Rusty again. Can we have SMcQ in there somewhere? :P
-
917 design idea is good for me.
-

Quite right.
This was my idea for a mug last year (thanks Paddy for the Delaney V sign)

Thats a lot to put on your face, Lorry :) :)
I've let this topic roll for a while, and as Paddy says we now have sufficient numbers to make it viable (I was looking for a minimum of 50 shirts). I'll start a separate 'Order' thread after I check the prices with the supplier - they will have gone up a bit (extra VAT) and some increase since I last did them 2 years ago.
Regarding design, the front will be the 'traditional' design (I feel it's like our trademark), and it looks like the 917 is out in front for the rear. Although I like the 'Vettes, we did miss the anniversary last year, and I am happy enough with the 917.
Although we have had 2-beers McQ before, I would be quite happy to use him again with the 917 in front of him - something like Below (a bit crude, but I'm sure Rusty will provide!!)
Del
-
Hi All
If anyone wants the original of McQ. I still have from when i did the original back.
You have to bear in mind the limitations of the printing and colours though.
>Martini...LB
-
Just make sure they don't resemble the T-shirts the ACO was selling last (and probably) this year.
-
I know you're all going to hate me for saying it but I can live without Steve. Movie great and he undoubtedly had some amateur talent but not enough for me to treat him as the hero some seem to. Sorry. Besides he's been done before. But I will of course bow to the majority view.
I will now put my tin hat on and retire to my bunker.
-
I agree Deb. As much as SMQ is a part of Le Mans folklore he was hardly a world class race driver. if we need an anniversary for the shirt how about the 10th anniversary of the untimely death of Bob Wollek. Although he never won the race, in my opinion he was more of an icon of LM than SMQ will ever be.

I like that but as I say, I'm happy to go with whatever the flow is. I have a Wollek t-shirt and it's amazing how many people comment upon it and say how much they admired him.

Brilliant Bob and Thanks Bob U (your not so bad yourself) It really has been 10 years.
I will make the effort to visit Lorida again having missed a couple of years.

Maybe something with Pescarolo could be an idea ?
-
something like this?
-
something like this?
hahahaha ....
PS - Put me down for a shirt or two as well please.

Hmm yeah, but that's on top of Eau Rouge though - not exactly Le Mans, is it? ;)

Sorry, I can't get the whole link to post for some reason! You need the -Et verte bit to get to the right page. Doh. ???
< Fixed the link for you - Steve >

Looks good!
-
Proper bit of design that. Very nice.

On which subject....
Far be it from me but are we any further forward? Before you know it, Delboy will be running up against printing/posting deadlines etc.
Time for a poll on the theme, perhaps?
-
I quite like the idea of welcoming Henri back to LM
-
Well, certainly if you look at the new car we have all the colours but Henri Green in the existing design so that helps a bit doesn't it?
-
maybe this will do as a T-shirt design?

It's a bit, well, 2010.
And some of us quiet like the Pugs, saved us from total aryan domination of the event.

No charge for using this on the back !!

Well said Barry. I'm bored with the Audi dominance over the past 10 years.
Back on topic.Is this T-shirt thing happening or has it just died away?
-

Looks like the latter to me, Bob. :(
It was good of Delboy to offer though.
-
Hi Folks
Many apols - I said I would run with this, but I started a major project digging my front garden!! I have finished this now, and can devote some more time to other things.
I see that the design ideas dried up - again, my fault - I wasn't driving it.
So, there is still time to get some shirts designed and printed, so let's have your ideas for the pic on the back.
Del
-
I could offer to do the design in a style similar to these prints I make: http://www.flickr.com/photos/goodduck/sets/72157625339406451/with/5496740966/
i am getting t shirts made of the MP4/4. i take delivery of them on monday and i could share the results to see if you guys like them.

-
Personally, I favour Bob Wollek but am happy with Henri too.
Do we need a poll of all the suggestions?:
917/ Jag/ Henri/ Wollek
Any more?
-
As Henri has risen from the ashes (and to curry favour with mine hosts), he gets my vote.
-
I'd be fine with some sort of "local hero" theme to - could be Henri - or may be a mix: Pescarolo, Courage, Wollek ... some sort of a tribute to our French hosts
-
Henri for me
-
Ditto
-
Henri for me
Agree with that.
-
OK - looks like Henri is becoming a favourite.
Anyone got a 'public domain' pic of him that would be suitable??
Also, do you just want him (as per Steve McQ in '76) or with a backgound of either a recognisable part of the track or a car (Pesco/Pug??)
Del

imho, this year's Pesca is a very pretty car with a paint job which would really lend itself to a t-shirt design.

Totally agree!
Can we also factor in a t-shirt to be delivered to Henri himself!

Delivered by all CA members (who are still sober ;D)

Would definately agree with Deb on this one.
-

No chance then ;D
Henri's car reminds me of Mansell's helmet ugggh
But then I realised its a Union flag. Henri will be shot at dawn :o
Could the union flag somehow replace the usual drapeau tricolore
It looks like a plan's come together
-
Why not have a text on the back saying "ALLEZ LES BOOZE".
Simple and true ;D

If thoughts are still to go with a Henri theme his website has a logo on it which we wold have to get permission to use, and also get the artwork.
http://www.pescarolo.com/index.asp
We would probably need a strap line to show the association eg. Racing forever, The racing spirit, or something much, much better which I cannot think of at the moment.
Other than that I think we should still make the effort of having a T shirt even if we only print on the front, or how about just the CA logo with dates?
PH have got quite a nice theme but £20 without VAT or P&P seems a little dear.

My 2 pennies:
Front: Classic CA Design
Back: Trackmap - either marked with the real names like "Esses" , "Dunlop Chicane" and so on - or instead just put the current and previous CA landmarks roughly on them: "CA compound on BN", "DfH camp on MB", "Stella Bar", "CA Forum Meeting point for Saturday", "Shampoo bar" .... ;D

I wouldn't be so sure about that.... ACO want fees from all sticker manufacturers for even using the track layout.
I'd still go for it though - IF there's enough time to get these printed?
-
OK Guys & Gals
Sorry - my bad :'( :'(
I said I would run with this, but then got overtaken by events.
I am just checking with the printer to see how long he needs, and with Paddy to see if he can do the car stickers again. If it's on, the order period will be quite short, so you'll have to order quickly.
The design for the back will be as suggested above - a simple map of the circuit with perhaps a few 'landmarks' identified. The front, of course, will be the classic CA design.
Can someone update the artwork for the front - just in case?? (Martini, Paddy???)
Many thanks

Hi Delboy,
Is it too late to put my name down for 1 if you manage to get things sorted? xxl if poss.
Thanks Crackit.
-
Hi Delboy
I think I originally asked for one but might want to increase that now and add car stickers if they are available. Will you be posting an order form here or will email / pm messages be ok for ordering purposes?
Cheers
Steve
-
If it is still possible to get the shirts & stickers printed in time, I will be placing my usual (lengthy) posting giving all details, together with an order form.
As it is a holiday weekend, I don't expect answers until Tuesday, so keep your eyes peeled next week 8) 8)

Hi Del
Sorry for the delay, I have been stuck in a dungeon all weekend (and the last month) completely gutting the bathroom and refurbing, so i have not seen too much daylight lately.
Will do the front tonight, though might have to fatten up the 11 as this perhaps will not look right, will sort anyway. I also think I have a map of the circuit on my other Mac, but not sure where all the corners and areas, as mentioned in a previous email, as I do not move too far from my tent I don't know where everything is (I do really but do not tell anyone), can you, someone write on a map and send to me.
Bloody hell I could have done the front in the time it has taken to write this.
Also, I have just had mails to re-do my mates mountain biking brochure, no this is not an advert, but if you are into MB and Canada, try www.ticket2ridebc.com as well as all the brochure work I also designed the team racing and member shirts all FREE! (wife says I am bonkers)

I know we've had this debate in previous years but the CA logo should still look more like that on the mast head.

I had a look through my pile of t-shirts the other day and 2004, 2005, 2007 and 2008 all feature a closer version of the masthead.

You are indeed correct, I did the 2006 and 2008 versions using a different look, my front was not used on the 2008 shirt so I am not sure who did the artwork, perhaps Paddy or Rusty, Delboy will need to get in touch with them if we are going to keep a uniform look.
>Martini...LB
-
Been away for a few days, so I'll try to finish this off.
Paddy did the 'more accurate' CA logo last year, and I've asked him to have a go. Thanks for your efforts Martin, I prefer the Mark3 version. And the back is a possibility as well. Keep it simple this year!!
