NEW SHIRT IDEAS (Jan 2013)

[Gix11]

Ok kids, here's the story.....

I have run out of all the popular sizes for the ASF T-shirts from the past ranges. Other than kids sizes, random sizes and grils stuff, we are pretty much out of shirts.

Now, the next thing is my printer seemed to stick his head up his arse and get so deep in his "gangster hip hop" clothing range that he never gets the order right and also put the prices through the roof to boot.

I have since found another printer who has been suggested to me that is just down the road and plan on giving him a shot (by the way Dylan - thanks for your email mate. I thought that the shipping on top of the Shirt printing would make it too expensive, so I'll give this guy a go first).

The problem now is that I have to start everything from scratch as I don't have the old plates (although I may try ansd get them off the old guy if the new printer can use them).

Now, I was planning on doing a new run of new design shirts to try and get the ball rolling, get the plates sorted and hopefully leave the door open to add some more or even re-do some of the classics.

So that leaves us with a new design to come up with.

I bashed away at a few last night and the general concensus with the mods was to ignore the first one because it's shit, but consider the others.

If anybody thinks they have an outstanding shirt idea to offer us then let me know below, as well as letting me know what you think about these ideas (ignoring the first one as mentioned):

You may recognise the last one Davo.


Anyway, fire away with thoughts and ideas and we'll see what eventuates.


P.S. Hoodies will be in the pipeline soon as well.

Something with "ASF" and a simple black/white pic or line drawing or
caricature of Oldskools bug-eye'd Bandit ? Not a million miles away
from the current logo ? Along the lines of the classic Andy Sparrow shirts ?

Too complicated ? or too "already been done" ?

Our version of this...

.... but closer to this... ( with ASF logo and Oldskools Bandit )

Nice. Good input. Cheers Tony.

Nice. Good input. Cheers Tony.

Any chance of doing a run of white tee,s with the ASF logo on sleeves and wat Eva design on back.

[hooligan]

I like bikes in black and the streetfighter rider ones. Actually, i like davo's too, but since my oldest is now learning to read, i probably wouldn't wear it much.
Is it possible to update the front, because every ASF shirt looks the same from the front for the last, what? 8 years?

[oldskool]

My mate will not need screens etc as he uses another process that uses heat paint transfer which wears better than screen print all he will need is art work.

Yea mate, I'm onto that! First thing I thought as well.

[Gix11]

What about something based on Tony's idea?

Hi Albi
It's been mentioned before, but the fact is only a handful wanted white and the cost to do a complete new plate for each colour to do the white way outweighs the demand. IF there were enough people wanting them then sure, but demand is the key.

[BANDITROD]

i like that on alot

[Gix11]

Chris, for the front I didn't want to deviate too far from the original logo, but just thought a polish might do the job. What do you reckon?

[Gix11]

Obviously you realise you can click on the yellow bar above the images to see the detail with the original size image?

[BANDITROD]

fuck yeah that looks good too si

[latheboy]

I don't have any ideas for a new T.

From the ones you have I like the "Hold my beer" one



Hang on, why don't you wait until the bike of the month thingy is done and use that bike for the pic.
Or do a photo comp/poll and the winners bike gets used.

[Hillsy]

I like the subtle changes in the logo....

http://i428.photobucket.com/albums/qq6/hillsythegreat/ASFLogo.jpg

Since 2001? Crikey - did I miss the ten year anniversary celebrations??

[hooligan]

I like subtle changes, too. It should still look like ASF, just new ASF.
Any way to make the logo wider but not as tall across the front?

[Gix11]

?? You've losty me mate. Do you mean drop the URL? Lose the knuckles? The logo is the logo and I can't do much with it without changing the whole identity. A few guys have the logos engraved or otherwise on bikes and other things, so I didn't really want to go changing the actaul identity logo at this point or else they will all have done it for nothing. I really can't distort logos either, it's against my rules as a graphics geezer. Ask Nigel!

[yuma bizl]

any chance of gettin some decals made up. i can find the downloadable doc on here to take it to the sticker guys.

Hey Tony, welcome to the wonderful world of T-shirt designing and pain.

Full colour prints like that for the small number we would order would be $50 plus and done digitally. To use screen print you need to use one to 3 colours for a successful print, different percentages of that can give different colour effect. Hang on, you used to work in print, you know all of this. So you'd also know that to screen print a black bike on a black shirt would'nt work either as it would need to be reversed into white, and that doesn't work. Just like doing the logo on a White short would mean completely different plates as they would all be reversed as well, but then the black bike would work!

Turning that into a line drawing would mean every bit of it would have to be redrawn from scracth and would take hours. Who's keen for that job?

Full on headache and I'm starting to remember the pain now!

By no means knocking you mate, but this is the brick wall I always hit when doing these.

Are you still doing the old shirt's, I will be needing a new "put it on my Tab" shirt at some stage

No not necessarily lose anything.
What i meant was the ASF Logo is kinda square, i was wondering if it could be made longer left to right, but not as high. I didn't know if you could put things to take up more space left to right, rather than a big block in the middle.
I confused you, and yet you still answered my question.

No problem,
I thought there might be some trick with paint or photoshop
that pic's out the highlights and then they could be reversed,
im not very clue'd up on this.
Colour prints often look a bit like tacky tourist shirts off the sea front,
the white on black is a much stonger design anyway.

Yea, sorry mate. What I meant was the letters (ASF) at the height and width as they are recognised as the ASF logo. The bike has been used and not used in some renditions and the text underneath has definitely gone before. So my point is, if I remove the bike it will seem higher as I've reduced the width. If I remove the text underneath it will appear wider. I can't physically distort the ASF letters as that is the identity. If it's squashed or widened it is no longer the logo. See my point? Any suggestions without distorting the ASF letters and I'm all ears.

[Gix11]

Hell fucking yes!! Printed front and back!!

Next you'll find the lipstick photo won't you.

Mate I think that makes no diff with the heat ink thing my mate does from what I understand the number of colours makes little diff.
Most T's are not screen printed now days.

[Gix11]

Does your mate want to send me up a sample as you've got me stuffed on what this heat ink thing is mate?

The streetfighters T shirt I sent you is in this process but only in plain white.
If you need more examples I will ask him.

[fimpBIKES]

kev dropped some pics on FB earlier (cant get on at work)
they were buy Antoine (artkore, RIP friend)

as a tribute is it possible to use one of his awesome drawings?
boxer mentioned something about a donation to the family
his art was always fuckin amazing and im sure the style would lend itself to simple 1-2 colour printing pretty easily

may i also vote against large rigid prints
remember the shirts from afr in cooma with the chick on it, that thing sweats like a mothafukka under a jacket :S

my vote

[ozzy1100]

can we get some long sleaves this time pretty please some of us have arms we like the world not to see lol

[Tony Nitrous]

If it is 10 years of ASF is it worth having
that on the shirt? I know one of mine has
something about member/date on it.

[kartras]

some other colours other than black...........hows about white or green? tis a lurvely shade and great for saint patricks day

[rod185651]

Long sleeve, would be an automatic buy by me. I hate exposing my arms.

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/images/website/forum/front2013-web.jpg

These two are my favorites(more so the top one). I rarely wear black T's anymore though so another vote for white if you could get the numbers to make it worth it


That would be the same shirt mate; logo front and bike back.

Especially with that hair Cut


Hell fucking yes!! Printed front and back!!

[Gix11]

I'm thinking long sleeves are on the cards, along with the new hoodies, plus I may have dragged in a heavy weight player to do the design.

[AZman]

The new shirt designs are looking sweet Si. The "updated" front logo looks kickass too.
I need to get my hands on a couple of these when they're available.

One the way to the GP this year we got pulled over and "breath tested" as we pulled into Corryong... The cop walked all around my bike and finally pulled up at the ram air duct (the only unmodified piece of the bike) and pointed at it and said..... "is that a modification".... Steve and I just looked at each other before laughing at this guys face and later said we gotta put that on a T Shirt....
