I'm ready to accept orders for the new BritishV8 T-shirts.
Full details and "Buy Now" buttons appear on the <a href="http://www.britishv8.org/merchandise.htm">
BritishV8 Store</a> page.
Here's what the new back design looks like:

(That's red, white, and dark blue ink. Where you see light blue... that just indicates t-shirt fabric.)
And here's the front design:

Initially I was thinking of just offering this print design on Heather Indigo colored fabric. I've decided to also offer Charcoal t-shirts because I think they'll look really nice too. If you want some other color - pink? - let me know. Pocket tees? Women's sizes? Sweatshirts? Shop aprons? I'm happy to quote and facilitate special orders of this print design while in the "pre-order" stage. When we get to fifty shirts pre-ordered and paid for, I'll have my local screen-printer start production. I'll order many more shirts at that time.
Price for pre-ordered shirts? Just $20 plus shipping. (Price later? Higher! Don't put this off.)

Hi Curtis,
I would like to buy 5 of the indgo shirts 3 large 2 x-large. My problem is, do I need to buy them one at a time, need option of how many in paypal?
May even want more....great for Christmas gifts for friends a family. I know my kids would like these shirts.
Awesome news, Calvin! I thought you might like this new design.
Combined orders are no problem. Just use the Donate button <a href="http://www.britishv8.org/Contributions.htm">
here</a> and enter your total payment as one lump sum, then tell me size and color info in PayPal's "notes" field or in an e-mail.
I'm working with my vendor to select a sweatshirt. When I find just the right one, I'll add info and another Buy Now button to the store page. Also, I've had a request for a long sleeve tee. I'll add that option to the Store page too. The thing is... I'm not keen to purchase and sit on a bunch of inventory. Once we get past this pre-order period, I'll have to narrow the options back down.
Curtis, I presume the indigo is one on the left? I was not able to find info that ID's the color on the first page. Please ID each color because I think I want the Indigo. Large, but will wait for the ID to be sure.
NOTE, I did not scroll down enough on the Store page. they are detailed there. They look Great!
Add 5 more shirts on the list Indigo! Sent on Paypal!.......Close enough to do the order now right? My bad need 50 shirts.
I've just added four more garment options to the <a href="http://www.britishv8.org/merchandise.htm">BritishV8 Store</a>, with Buy Now buttons:
(Imagine these with the new red, white, and blue graphics printed on them.)

Hey Curtis,
Can you do ball caps?
Brad
Possibly, but...
I prefer to offer silk-screened items, whereas ball caps usually feature embroidered designs. One reason for my preference is to keep BritishV8 website items distinct from BritishV8 annual meet items. Every annual meet organizer back to at least 2006 has offered embroidered t-shirts. Ball caps have been offered too, although I'm not sure which years. I try to complement rather than compete with annual meet offerings.
Curtis, I just ordered two blue tees, one small and one xl.Paypal. Thanks Mike
Great!
If you haven't pre-ordered yet, now would be a really good time!
Pretty much everyone needs clothing, right?
As soon as I receive the fiftieth pre-order, I'll have shirts printed.
Just order my XL Long sleeve. Thanks
Curtis, how are we doing on the shirt order? Any idea when they will ship out? Thanks Mike
I had planned to have 100 shirts screen-printed locally when I got to 50 pre-orders. It seems pre-orders have stalled out at just 42... which is very disappointing to me. I'll put the order in on Monday.
I just received orders for a green sweatshirt and for a charcoal long-sleeve tee - awesome!
If you want something besides an indigo blue tee, you should step up and pre-order now. (I don't plan to stock the other color/garment options.)
Curtis, just order a Forest Green Sweatshirt to go with the long sleeve T I order earlier. Can't wait to get them. Thanks
Grant
Fifty! Thanks guys!
NOTICE: THE TIME TO PRE-ORDER SHIRTS HAS PASSED.
EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY, I'VE NARROWED THE OPTIONS DOWN TO WHAT'S CURRENTLY SHOWN ON THE "STORE" PAGE.
Thank you for your continued interest.
<h3>SHIPPED!</h3>
All 52 pre-ordered garments were mailed today. Almost all the t-shirts were light enough to go First Class Mail. U.S. customers should receive theirs this coming Monday. Heavier items - long sleeve shirts and sweatshirts - went by Parcel Post. Most of those will probably be delivered this coming Wednesday.
As advertised, these shirts are indeed BOLD! I didn't give the printer a specific measurement for how large to make the front design. It turned out significantly larger than what we've offered in years past. I was shocked when I first saw it, but it has quickly grown on me.
Thank you Curtis for the heads up!
would you like a preview?

BOLD, I like it! Great Job Curtis GO BRONCO'S
Like It....Like It.....Like It!!!!!
It's a good looking shirt, no doubt about it. Your best work yet. I'm anxiously waiting to see mine in person.
For the next revision Curtis, might I respectfully suggest that you look at design changes that will reduce the continuously inked areas? As a few of us have noticed on some past designs (not yours) a large solidly inked area tends to make you sweat in warmer weather. And we all want enthusiasts to be sporting these on the best driving days of course!
Jim
My shirt arrived today, LOOKS GREAT! Color combo works and graphics are awesome
Got mine too! I'll second the LOOKS GREAT!!!
Silly postal delivery person unceremoniously flopped my new shirt package on the porch yesterday. Apparently has no appreciation for objects of art-probably does't even know what a British sportscar is. So, he/she better not even ask for a ride when I am finished-speaking of which, I'm going to go to the shop and show the shirt to the car parts and tell them to get a move on!
Dennis
Oh, and thanks Calvin, nice job!
What was I smoking? Curtis,Curtis, Curtis!
Calvin is a nice guy too, but...
Dennis (demented, but still on the loose)
Curtis, got my Tshirt ! love it!
Dave
Got my shirts today...they look great!!
Received 5 very cool looking shirts today! Thank You Curtis, and thanks for the stickers :-)
Got me a hoodie for cool weather!
