So I'm talking to McRib about the 2016 RDP shirts and he says...

[BHC Vic]

Old school.

Go buy a big boat and ask for shirt from manufacture like eliminator or dcb or Nordic etc. [emoji202][emoji2]


I like big boats also. [emoji41]

There's my favorite ass clown [emoji3]

So basically I can get them direct? Cut out the middle man. Sweet.

You are the middleman [emoji16]

Psssssh. That's Dave, duh

I know it's after the fact but, I agree with 2FF. My two favorite RDP shirts didn't have a boat on them at all. You'll never make everyone happy, plus it makes inventory a nightmare (think Enduro shirts this year). I also like Enen's idea if you can get the quality you want. You may not even see a drop in margin considering how much loss you experience now.

Do a logo RDP shirt. And bring back the past styles for special order.

 

[RiverDave]

Well, if E ends up doing them you can order whatever you want and know it will be at your door step in about a week!

And whoever wants full cotton can choose those...

There is a lot of hurdles to overcome for that to happen but I am looking into it.

I really like the logo shirts, understated but timeless. The idea of a polo is ok, i'd get one to wear golfing but you could also do a work/mechanics type shirt, kinda casual but still nice to wear on a night out. I say stay away from any certain brand, you can go get them from the builder. Stick with classic scenes, couple of boats floating at sunset after an epic day type thing, goes with what we all love. Oh and how has nobody mentioned black socks with rdp on them ahahahahah!:lmao

 

[She's Mine]

I would say new school. I know the old school stuff has kept me from buying some shirts since I like the new stuff that is out there. Speedster, Howards, Nordics, M Series, MTI, and Skater any of them would be a winning choice.

 

[RaceTec]

I prefer old school and the logo shirts, but...

I think you should try to get your sponsors to buy in on limited run shirts...
Offer them a shirt that displays the type of boat they want to promote along with their logo in exchange for helping you out on upfront costs...

You know Schiada, DCB, Eliminator, Nordic, etc all have a built in customer base. They might want to go in with you, then they could offer them too.

Just a thought but reading how big of an influence CC was to RDP and its members, I propose on the sleeve a In Memory of CC or something to that degree. Or a design that he would agree to.

Ask Paul how easy it is. Call or email me and we'll get it done. [email protected]

 

[McRib]

this shirt is BAD ASS. clearly a mfgs shirt but something down this path I'd jump all over!

Can you do logo designs as well?

The only good thing about that shirt is the back design.

As far as the front, logo and maybe the boat ... but that's it IMO.

Sometimes less is more.

 

[RiverDave]

I have the art guys working up four shirts right now.. Including one for CC

Yes

They can do what ever you want. Hard pressed to find a better deal
