Ideas Wanted!

[Roger]

I think it might be time we had a Members T-shirt! Please post here any ideas you have on:

1. Logo design - what it might look like.

2. Production - where to get them made.

3. Distribution - how do we get them to Members all over the world.

If there is enough interest I will draw up a short list so we can all vote for our favorite.

Not a bad idea at all Roger, maybe a light colour so people don't go digging in no-go places in them [] (not that anyone here would do that [8D] ).

Hi Roger -

Definitely a great idea! How about somehow incorporating a graphic of a globe to represent the fact that we are a world-wide group? As far as production and distribution, perhaps a member has a connection to a screen printing operation and would be willing to take on that aspect of the project.

Hey Roger. How about, "BOTTLE COLLECTING...I REALLY DIG IT!" ?

Great idea Roger! I think all the 'regulars' here would leap at the chance to purchase a item with an 'Official' ABF logo.[] Why don't we have an 'election' open to all forum members to establish the logo design? A preliminary (election primary?) round could be used to produce 3 finalists, with a final vote to determine the 'winner'. Once the logo is determined, it could be offered for sale to members in a variety of ways. Actual garments, t-shirt, 'football' jersey, golf shirt, wind breaker etc. or a silk-screen iron-on transfer, embroidered patch, baseball cap, bush hat, the possibilities are endless! If profits are realized, perhaps we could settle upon some worthy charities to benefit. Finally, I think members with over 50 posts should get a logo patch free[]

Some great ideas, Norm... Considering the old adage: "charity begins at home", I was thinking that perhaps any profits should be plowed back into maintaining the forum website, no?

Really great ideas! I like the cap, patch, hats, etc. How about a stylized 'glass' globe (earth) with ABF embossed in fancy script on it...Just brainstorming here...Profits (if any) to charity, I love it!
