The PP ball is around the corner and we want some t-shirts. To choose the design, there is going to be a little contest to see who's artwork is most worthy. Please E-mail your design to me at urbankayaker06@yahoo.com. After I have received all the submissions, I will put up a poll, and the most popular design will be chosen.
The design should consist of a chest emblem and a design for the back, please keep it to 2 colors. Also, on the back there should be room for a "quote" and some sponsor logos.
If you have some ideas for a quote, you can just post em here.
***The DEADLINE for design submission is April 20th
Thanks, Gordon

Hahaha! This thread is starting off low and only heading downhill! I like it!
"Can you handle a 3rd Ball?"
"You say I'm a smelly dirtbag boater like it's a bad thing.."
"I like tater-tots!"
"Carbon fiber Paddle-$350, Rotomolded kayak-$1000, Kevlar helmet-$200, watching your buddy chuggin' a bootie beer after swimming...priceless! "
"If you can read this, put me in a boat and shove me into the closest river"
To quote AC/DC "We've got the BIGGEST BALLS of them ALL!"

I vote not to make a joke about balls. Sorry, I know I should throw out an alternative, but I just don't have one.

well i got no entries, cept this is the thing I drew up. i didnt'
finish the paddle (I will), and I can clean up some of the lines a little bit. This is pretty much a final version though. Obviously the sponsor logos will change. I will try to post a version that is scale on a t-shirt.

How about underwear with "Professor Paddle" on the back and "Have a Ball" on the front? That would be awesome!

I like Jimmy's idea. Also I love the graphic of the paddler that, should be on the front of the shirt and the sponsor on the back, at least that's my vote.

How about D1's idea?
Where's Hugo?
Sorry for the crappy graphic, that's all I could find in a few seconds on Google.

Hey STL,
That design is pretty sweet, although I would really prefer a lowbrow ball reference in there (no offense Sarah). Haha! What can I say, that's my sense of humor. But I would rock that shirt in a hot sec. When might they be available, and any idea on cost? I'll prepay if necessary.

the final costs will likely be $15, and pre-pay would be awesome. But honestly though, I have yet to look into the finer details of ordering the shirts seeing how the design isn't up to 100% yet.

Sorry for the large delay. It is taking a long time to get logos for all the sponsors in a quality acceptable for the t-shirt. I will have a few pictures up later today guaranteed!

The whole "Sponsor thing is SOOO passe'!!
I'd rather chip in more money to have a shirt with out all those crappy logos on there.
WHOOPS! Did I say that?
It wasn't me! The spirit of HUGO has taken over my logon, password, profile,yeah, that's it.
I may just get on it and independently have alternate shirts, "unofficial" or--- "bootleg" shirts, if you will... Who't in ?
Hugo? Where's Hugo?

I feel if a company is nice enough to donate gear to our party, i'll wear their logo. Honestly, no one said there had to be sponsors on the shirt, no one even mentioned it. But I know that the companies will be happy for the advertisement and next year they will be more than happy to help out again.

Nice job on the shirts. The design looks great. I know that people in my lab have been happy with a print shop in the u-district. I think they have pretty quick turn around too. Let me know if you would like the name of the place and I will check on it.

SWEET!! Just a suggestion on colors - please not white! I'm a grubby steelworker and dirtbag boater=bad news for white T's (although they're probably the cheapest)! Whatever works though, I'm down!

The shirts will be $15. The design will be finalized either friday or early next week, but i haven't decided if i will post the final design. You might just have to look for the shirt at the festival!
