With the growth of the club in 2006 and 2007 is it time to consider ordering golf shirts again? I think shirts were ordered in Fall, 04 right before the time I joined. With pro and am worlds coming up in 2007 there is sure to be a large contingent of club players at these events. It would be pretty cool to have us all wearing club shirts on a given day.

Seconded!
I PM'd John that I realized as soon as I posted that the general rule is that if you want something done you have essentially volunteered. I have a lot on my plate lately as yesteray I was elected President of the Evanston Bicycle Club. I can't definately volunteer now but I figured I would still take this discussion a few more steps and we can then figure out whether I, or somebody else, will take ye olde bull by the horns. We may want to bump this discussion to its own thread in the members only section.
I did a quck google search and came up with the following web site:
http://www.logosoftwear.com/companyshirts.php
I do not know about the vender the club used last time. My recollection was that the shirts looked pretty nice but weren't made of the greatest fabric. I do not have one and am not sure. Just nosing around the above website it seems the first question is how much indivduals are willing to pay and what minimum quality shirt they would want. I personally would prefer a nicer shirt in some type of wicking fabric but would balance that against price. I am sure there are many other venders out there. Also, I do not know who the vender was last time and if we save any $ because they already set up the order.
I do not know what is involved with a logo and whether we would go with the existing one or open it up for new ideas. Based on recent trophies and bag tags we have a lot of talented members, friends and hangers on.
Obviously, the more shirts we buy the better deal we get. I have gone through this with the bike club. Unless DISContinuum wants to have a stash of shirts, I suggest that we take orders and money up front based upon a non-binding census of who wants one.Once we see how many are interested we can look for the volume price for the shirt we want and then collect that in advance before making an order. We can post to the forum the expected price before we start collecting. I will leave it to the board to figure out the most expeditious way to collect.
Lets start with these questions:
1) are you interested?
2) what are you willing to pay?
3) do you have fabric preferances?
4) do we have a color preference and please keep in mind that a white shirt gets real dirty and doesn't look very good on us big boned folks.
5) do we want the existing logo or a new one and does the answerr to this question depend on setup costs etc?
1) yes
2) roughly $25/polo if it is good fabric. No more than $20/shrt if its what we got last time
3) poly/cotton blends are good. Keeps you cool & helps wick away moisture provided its not 1000 outside like Rockford last summer.
4) Last order we did from Kennedy Creative in Waukegan let us pretty much have our way with shirt colors & thread color inside the logo. They informed us after the fact their embroidery person was NOT pleased with that order & wouldn't do it again. So, shirt colors may not be an issue but for a logo we should offer one or possibly two color variations.
5) Doesn't matter. A new logo could be cool. Never cared for the est. 2001 part of the logo we got last time.
I AM interested. I asked about the shirts this year myself. I think $20-$30 would be a decent price.
Maybe offering an upgraded membership option for '07 that would get you a Bag Tag AND a club shirt would be a good idea, but I would buy one either way.
I like the polo shirts, even though I'm a golf-without-sleeves type of guy. They would look more professional for Am & Pro Worlds in 07, as I'm sure the club will be represented well in both events.
Let's stay away from the Homie-yellow and white as Dave requested. The Fox Valley Club already has blue shirts and it would look kinda weird having all that blue through 2 clubs. Something other than black would be good.
In light of these posts I withdraw my nomination for David for head of the shirt committee and nominate Mukey. I would be glad to help you out in any way that I can Mukey. Personally I like heather gray shirts and green embroidery.

I'm down for it. At least it'll give me something to do, disc golf-wise, in the winter months. There's a few custom shirt places I've seen around here, I'll find out more info on prices & whatnot & post them here.
Might be time for a new club logo too, but I agree with Mirth that the Est. 2001 could be left off.
Found Terry Miller's Red shirt when I looked through old posts, looks like a cool color.
I am interested but will need the shirt to be something legitimately wearable.
I have alot of polo shirts and they are pretty much always the Dri-fit type of material. Its light which is whats important to me.
Black is a safe color. And I'd be willing to pay 35 bucks as long as I know I'm getting a shirt that I can wear regularly.
I agree with Dan light is key. The old DISContinuum polos get heavy with just a little perspiration and are not very comfortable.I would also pay $35 for a quality shirt.
Same here. Dri Fit material is key.
I would rather pay $35.00 for a shirt that I can use and wear, then $20.00 for a shirt that is going stay in the bottom of a dresser drawer.
I would rather pay $35.00 for a shirt that I would use and wear, than $20.00 for a shirt that is going to stay in the bottom of a dresser drawer.
These people could do Dry Fit polos for about $30 each plus a $50 set up charge.

You can get your choice of colors and sizes.
White
Red
Royal
Burgundy
True Navy
Jet Black
Charcoal
Light Blue
Dark Green
Papaya
Seafoam Green
Dandelion
These people seem to be offering Rapid Dry custom embroidered polos for about $24. There is a $70 setup charge for an art logo but only a $10 setup charge for a font-only logo.
http://golfshirtspro.com/Port-Authority-Rapid-Dry-Golf-Shirt_W54-K455.html
I really like my Discraft Rapid Dry shirts so I'm fishing for Rapid Dry dealers. Most also have Dri Fit but Dri Fit is a lot more expensive. I think the difference is 60/40 versus 63/37 poly-cotton blend.
From what I see on these websites seems to show that we can get something in a modern wicking fabric in the $35 range. I agree that a light wearable shirt is worth that money. They had what were described as coaches shirts in good fabrics on the website I first posted. These were about $35.
Mukey, I would be glad to help you.
I need them in tent sizes. Sometimes they charge more for that, but I'll pay for something that fits me.
You may also wish to consider a T-shirt style and not a polo. I don't know if there is a price difference or a preferrence among players. The "collared shirt rule" allows for sport-type t-shirts:
Dress Code - PDGA Major/NT Rules
8.3 Dress Code
8.3.1 All players in PDGA sanctioned competitions are expected to dress appropriately and maintain a clean and well-groomed appearance at all Event sites and all associated functions.
8.3.2 The following dress code for all competitors will be enforced at all PDGA National Tour and Major Events. The PDGA also recommends that this dress code be enforced at SuperTour and lower tier events, but this decision lies solely with the Tournament Director:: All players must wear a shirt covering their upper chest area. A well tailored shirt with with a fold-down, mock turtle, v-neck, crew neck, Henley, or zippered collar, and with sleeves covering the part of the arm from the shoulder to the elbow (commonly known as the upper arm), shall be considered acceptable. Women are also allowed to wear tasteful, sleeveless collared shirts as designated above.
No t-shirts will be allowed, except for competitors in the Junior divisions. Crew neck or V-neck shirts made of high-performance or high-tech materials, such as Dry-Fit, Cool-Max, and others will be allowed.
So..... are we going to go with the old logo but take out the "Est. 2001" part?
While looking at the site Bruce put up here, I clicked on "sending your logo" & it seems we can avoid art charges.
If logo is being screenprinted
You may send camera-ready art, graphic file, drawing, letterhead or etcetera.
Send via email attachment, fax, or regular U.S. mail.
Is logo-art available in "eps" graphical format [in a Mac Adobe Illustrator file]? If so, this will eliminate art charges.

I thought we were doing embroidered like we did last time.
Went through the earlier posts and it seems we really didn't set anything in concrete yet, but that's what this thread is for, feedback. We've got to figure out what we're using as a club logo first, but I was just pointing out that we could save some $ via that way.
It does not have to be an "either/or" on the polo vs t thing. The same places that sell high performance fabric polos also sell ts.
I think using the old logo, but with only the words Discontinuum Disc Golf Club, would be a good idea.
I like the idea of the dri fit polo. Thats probably the only thing that I would be interested in. Polos less than 35 bucks are usually not ones that I end up every wearing.
Yes, I like the idea of choice. It would be nice to be able to offer both styles of shirts.
Mukey, if you like the design that we used last time but without the established part, then I can run that by the BOD for approval. If you'd like to gather new designs for the BOD to review or to have a club vote we could go down that road. Since you are now the "shirt guy" you should lead us down the path you're willing to do the work for.
Choice IS nice, but when we're dealing with 50+ people I'd rather have one option, the Dri Fit Polos.
Old logo without the established part is both understated, yet classy. Embroidering WOULD look best.
Jon, please submit to the BOD for approval. Once that is done I'll poll for the color & lettering options, and we'll go from there.
Its been a while since I have seen anybody wearing the old shirt. Can somebody post the logo to refresh my memory? I certainly think a dri-fit shirt will be worn more often and nobody will forget what the logo looks like.
Here it is
I still think it should just say Discontinuum Disc Golf Club. and u can leave the website address in there too.
I like the logo though.

I agree with Dan, 3 lines is plenty. It gets too busy otherwise.
Just got an email about an offer through a third party that may be of interest to this conversation.
Here is most of the body of the email:
QuoteToday, our order minimum is just 4 items, we don't charge set-up or embroidery fees for standard-sized logos, and an Industry-Unique Unconditional Ten-Year Guarantee backs everything we sell.
I'd like to introduce you to a remarkable polo shirt that we recently developed here in Wilmington, NC. I know your time is valuable, so I'll try to keep this as short as possible.
Our goal was to design a shirt that could be sold at the lowest possible price, but without sacrificing quality. As the only company in our industry that backs everything we sell with an Unconditional Ten-Year Guarantee, quality is essential to our survival.
Our heritage is in yarn. For this special shirt, I chose ringspun, combed, 100% extra-long staple Pima cotton yarn. American-born Pima cotton is an extraordinary fiber. It is softer, silkier, and stronger than regular cotton. To enhance the comfort of this shirt, we use a lightweight jersey knit that lays flat on your skin and drapes well on any body style. For additional softness and size stability, we pre-wash this incredible fabric.
With a fully taped neck, a jersey "self-fabric" collar, and a classic two-button placket, this polo has a contemporary look that makes a positive first impression whether you're at work or on the golf course. Since it's much lighter and softer than the average department store polo, it'll provide extra hours of sensational comfort in all environments. Double-needle tailoring ensures that you'll be experiencing that comfort for years to come.
We regularly sell these 21st Century polos for $12.50 each. You'll find many stores selling much lower quality shirts, often with designer logos, for two to three times this price. Yes, you read that right. You can easily spend $25 to $40 in the stores and get a lesser quality shirt, perhaps even with someone else's logo on it! Try just four of our shirts, however, and I will sell them to you at an introductory price of just $9.95 each with your custom-embroidered logo.
Our volume and "factory direct" Internet-based business model eliminates middlemen and expensive printing costs and warehouse facilities. As a result, we're able to offer you our quality products at prices well below standard retail, as well as those of our competitors.
Other custom-embroidered apparel companies require you to order hundreds of shirts to get their best price. Our order minimum is just four items. In addition, we won't charge you a set-up fee or an embroidery fee for your standard-sized logo.

I've not used them before, but the prices look pretty good.
Has anyone had one of these shirts in the "Pima Cotton"? Just wondering if it's anywhere near Dri Fit. If so, we could save some $.
The site above also has a "Quick-Dry Jacquard Sport" polo, at $29.95 each. The cool part is that if our logo is below a certain amount of stitches, then embroidering is FREE!
It is 100% cotton. Anything 100% cotton retains moisture and is not as tough as a blend. Dry Fit and Rapid Dry are 60/40 blends.
Yeah, they have a 60/40 blend shirt, but it's $34.95/each.

Pima Cotton is a fuzzy finish cotton. It is a sponge!

What's the status of the shirts?
Mukey, maybe I forgot to post this, but the BOD approved using the old logo but dropping the "of Northeastern Illinois est. 2001" part. Brett was talking about today to see if you can get a quote from the guy who did Terry's shirts. If Brett gets you that info, please get a quote from them.
Thanks!
I don't suppose anyone has the old logo in a file format still...? Would make it a bit easier.
Looking at getting quotes from a few companies & then getting back to you guys on price & how many we should order, etc.

Excellent. Thanks for taking the lead on this.
Contact Serg, he created the original logo.
Serg has been contacted & will advise once I get the logo & get some prices.
ill buy one
I NEVER have really checked out anything in this section of the message board but I'm glad I did.
I will just throw out the option that I have been working with a guy for the past 2 years or so and he's awesome. Many of you have seen the different things I've been branding over the past 2 years and everything I've done is through him.
I have had screen printed tees done as well as a few other things including water bottles. I do lots and lots of embroidery as well. I have had Flexfit hats, tee shirts, polos, duffel bags, sweatshirts, coats, beanies, and other things I'm probably forgetting.
He can do whatever quality of product you want. I've done some very cheap stuff and some very nice and expensive stuff. He can get it all. He's a great guy, very helpful and EXTREMELY knowledgeable about printing and the entire process. I have referred him to a few others because I just can't say enough about him.
If you have any interest just let me know. Unfortunately I don't make any commission for you working with him but I don't even care because I enjoy sending people his way!

I sent Mukey two versions: one without the "est. 2001" and one without the "of Northeastern Illinois est. 2001" part.
OK, I've got the logos from Serg (THANKS!!) and Terry is gonna e-mail me his guy's contact info & then I'll put together a few quotes from the different vendors & we'll go from there.
I'm shooting to have everything done & just needing to see who wants one & whatnot by the end of December.

We don't want to limit Discontinuum to just NE IL. One day Discontinuum is going to one day take over disc golf completely and make the PDGA an affiliate club. ;D

I think the idea is more to maintain best shot in Waukegan but also run leagues elsewhere in the area. Why abandon what works?
drifting here.....
Does where you run leagues make a difference on a disc club's popularity? I'm a member of the PFC also, but I'm not driving down there for leagues. Leagues are everywhere in Chicagoland, but Discontinuum is the only club running tournaments(so far, Fox Valley has an Ice Bowl and I'm sure they'll have events on their courses outside of the IOS). There aren't many tourneys in IL without the IOS, especailly with no more Peoria Open. Heck, I know some of the Peoria guys by first name just from seeing them up here & by me travelling down there this year. I joined Discontinuum because of the tourneys. Leagues schmeagues. Tourneys are what counts.
....end drift
Back to the shirts, it will be a pay-first situation. We'll make an announcement once we've locked in a Vendor & pricing.
I've tried to communicate this in the past and it has come up now. I'd prefer DISContinuum not to be known for any course even if we run league in Waukegan. I envision DISContinuum as a large area in Chicago, the Chicago Suburbs and southern part of WI. We are doing our best to help the disc golf scene grow. We've helped grow leagues, added tournies, & have been working hard to get a quality course in the ground. We have members that cover many of these areas. Our members run leagues in WI, Libertyville, Buffalo Grove, & Round Lake even though they aren't officially DISContinuum League. With the support of the disc golfers in this big area we can make things happen. We hope we continue to get the tremendous support we had in 2006.
Update: Got the info from Terry & e-mailed his guy. Once he hits me back with prices & whatnot I'll get with the BOD.
Just wanted to say that if you are looking for some polos that have your club logo on them, one of the members at my club works for a prinitng company. He got them to donate the shirts that we wore at some tourneys this year. I would be happy to talk to him, if you would like, and get him in contact with you all.

Appreciated, but we're definetly going with embroidering vs. just printing our logo on there.
Finally got in touch with Terry's guy & will be sorting out options today at lunch, then getting back to the Board of Directors with which option(s) seem best.
FYI: Got prices quoted & submitted it to the BOD. If approved, I'll try to get sample sizes before the next club meeting.
Ok, I know there's hasn't been any new info on the club shirts lately & I take full responsibility. I've been busy looking for an apartment, so I haven't given this the time it deserves.
Just by going through the thread, I'm seeing about 12 people who want shirts.
(Dave Barish, Mirth, Dan Michler, Tom S, Brett, Tom M, Bruce, Jon, Serg, Josh Younkin, Schumann, & Becky.
I assume that the whole Brakel clan would probably order shirts, so that would put it in the 15-20 shirts range.
If anyone else is interested, please post. I'm trying to get an accurate figure of how many we will be ordering & then will be using that to get Vendors to send me some sample sizes.
Count me in as well. (large)
i would like one as well
Ron Miller wants a shirt ( xl )

2XL for me, thanks!
If the shirts are high quality I would by one or two - XL

Err I mean Hi Jon!
Sign me up for a large please. Has it been decided what color they will be?
No, we're not that far yet.
Update: I've found a local (Schaumburg) Embroidering place that will allow us to provide the shirts we may already have & they will embroider our logo on them. Hopefully doing the shirts this way will eliminate any size concerns that came up the last time. I will be sending them the logo to get an accurate quote and then forwarding that to the Board of Directors for review.
Mike Esquival of the Fox Valley Metro Disc Golf Club works for an embroidery place..... we may want to ask him what he can do as well.
I know Fox Metro Discer posted something regarding that, but I think all he could do was screen-print the shirts. If I see Mike tomorrow I'll ask him about it.
He was in my group at the club invite and said he could embroider
Mike's plase of employment; Visual Impact Products does embroidery as well as screen printing. I can talk to him at league tomorrow and get any info you need.
That would be great Aaron. Thanks
chris - whats the best price you've found so far for setup/embroidery & shirts?
Best price was pretty much what I submitted to Brett to have the Boad review. (local embroidery place)
It would be a $98 setup & $15 per shirt, we would provide our own shirts. This would sidestep the sizing issue and allow people who already have golf polos to save some $.
Online places:
Lowest price for the setup was $65.
Lowest Nike Dri-Fit shirt price would depend on how many we would order, but assuming approx 30, the shirts would run $35-$50.
One place I looked at has an initial $60 price, but the prices for 12 are $49, 24 are $46, 36 are $43; it's not bad, considering no set up cost.
Another online site said if we bought in the 12-47 range and assume that the logo uploading will be 6000 stitches, the price would be $38.88 a piece. But they also have a $65 setup fee for embroidering, so....
I guess what happened last time when the club ordered through an online place was that the shirts came & they were about 1-2 sizes too small for people, which is why I've been hesitant (and maybe the Board's hesitation too?) about going through an online vendor. Best deal on getting sizers from an online place I asked was that they would sell us blank sizers at 50% off, but it would still cost around $30 per just for the sizers.
last time we did a shirt order we went thru a waukegan place. didn't find out until after the fact that the shirts were a touch small... or maybe they shrunk on the first wash. I don't remember exactly it was in 2004!
Anyhow, I've been looking around a bit for wholesale shirt vendors. Best I've found so far is about $17/polo (XS - XL, XXL is +$2, XXXL I think is +$4) for Port Authority Rapid Dry 60/40 shirts. Anybody ever seen the polos Discraft has? This is the exact shirt they use. I got two with brass in 2005 and they're great.
If we came up with an initial order of 40 shirts then the per shirt cost after setup & embroidery would be about $35.
Can bring one of those polos to league this sunday if anybody wants to see them in person, just let me know ahead of time...

Sounds like a great idea.
I think if we get anywhere near $35 for a drying type fabric with an embroidered logo we are doing pretty good. I had seen a website when I started this thread that appeared to have some garments in this neighborhood. An example is:
http://www.logosoftwear.com/product/9400
It looks like Mukey is in this neighborhood. Thannks for the research Chris.
spike will want one or two in xxl. thanks.
You might need to wait until after Bowling Green, but Johnny "Roundhouse" Luetzow from Rock River Disc Golf also does shirts. I can talk to him and see what types of prices he could offer.
Sergio
I play volleyball with a person who owns and Embroidery shop, I can get a quote if you want. Just let me know if you want me to find out the cost.
NOTE: PLEASE TAKE NO OFFENSE AS NONE IS INTENDED
I think if we keep chit chatting about it the season will be half over before we get them. We need to buckle down and just make a decision.
Just my $.02
no harm done here, since I just joined the club I was attemptinig to help.
I agree-we should order something soon!
I could use an updated shirt collection :)
maybe 2 or 3 - at least until the OZDGC starts making shirts :)
the shirts aren't going to happen. we are almost half way through the year. I am just going to take a quality shirt of mine and put something of my own on it at this rate. Go team Discontinuum!

I have submitted 3 or 4 proposals to the Board of Directors, with none of them getting approved. Short of spending my own $ to setup the logo at an embroidery place, I doubt it's gonna happen either.
Nothing hasn't been unapproved, I don't know why the conversation keeps dying on our end of things. I found a good line on Port Authority polos (same that Discraft uses for their polos) that would have had each shirt with a finished price in the area of $40/ea. Maybe we should just run with it.... People can either supply their own cloth or get one of these shirts.

I'm in favor of that. Publish your source of the polos or people can supply their own and let's run with it.
I think the discussion here has shown a pretty good amount of agreement on a sweat wicking, dry fit, modern poly, non cotton type polo thang. The only thing that seems somewhat unresolved is which vender and what desing. If You guys were to say you wanted to just keep the same design or use one you had now, you could print out the web pages from the vender of your choice and show an example of the design de jour. You could place this on the club table over the weekend and start taking in money. We might even be able to get things for Worlds.
It seems Mukey was waiting for a yes (which seems reasonable)
It seems the BOD didn't say no (which might mean yes or might mean maybe or might mean...)
it seems like (making a gross geneeralization here) women would have figured this out. They confirm everything. Us men, smelly beasts that we are, rarely make the follow up phone call or confirming e-mail. So, lets lay it out on the table...maybe even tomorrow. Mirth? Mukey? Waddya say? :tshirt:
I will not be at IOS2, and I need to find my notes on shirts and stuff. I'll start a new thread and whatnot over the weekend.

Run with it Mirth. Brett's got all the info I sent in to the Board if you need to review it.
I now work for a company that produces shirts. I can get shirts made on regular t-shirts, 50-50 cotton/polyester blends or 100% polyester with embroidery or screen print. I will tell Mirth our princing when I get a chance.
