Ahhh,
The old t-shirt discussion is up again.
We did offer to help at one time but I was told that the shirts were already ordered.
If any of you want to get together and do this thing, agree on the artwork, figure out about how many you need, and send an inquiry to our company. Doesn't matter what you want. Shirts, hats, sweatshirts, buttons, refrigerator magnets, swiss army watches, etc.
As a member of the BB, we will keep the expense down. Just need some orders!

Sory for neglecting this much asked for Tee Shirt need.
At one point I did have a order in for some tees but the pricing was a bit over kill to be able to offer them at a fair price. I was going for really nice quality shirts and silk screened logos. To make them afordable a larger quantity would have to be made which wasnt really a option at the time.
XFT had a good idea to use a comapny called CafePress a while back which might be the route well have to go for right now. Basically it will allow us to offer a larger assortment of goodies and designs without the need to stock or produce any large quantities. The only down side to it all is that the quality of the print (digital transfer) is not as good as traditional silk screened tees but better then a kinkos heat transfer.
I should have the CafePress shop setup this week so you guys and gals will be able to order goodies.
Here is a sample of what is set up so far.
PLEASE DO NOT ORDER ANYTHING YET as the graphics and total selections are not finished.

I like the tricolor w/serpent too. Just for giggles take a look at the color combinations tubut posted under his 1972 Color Post.
1972 Alfa Romeo Color Chart -- Reference Materials
The interior color options have some great two tone combinations that I think would look cool with a retro design or something a little more stylish. Or use one of the colors for the hat or shirt. How nice it would be to wear a t-shirt and have my girlfriend say, "Wow I've never seen that color before. It's so sexy." "Yes," I'd tell her, "I'm wearing Nocciola--Alfa Nocciola."

As long as there's a choice besides earth tones. I'm a winter, after all . . .

May I second the 'colored' shirts request, and also put a vote in for an item with a less conspicuous "DOT COM" (I like the Alfa bulletin board logo up top).
****insert flaming generalization and cultural stereotype here****
Here in the North Bay Area ‘dot com’ on your clothes is kind of like having "I’m with Satan^" on your tee (no offense to any dot commers out there)
****end of offensive remark, confirming I'm both a horrible person, and morally weak****
I'll do what I have to show my support though (right now I’m thinkin trucker hat), great work with the graphics.

Alright!
I second the color choice ideas; afterall, we can't wear the same color everyday. When all the colors and product choices are finalized we can all start to let everyone else know of the BB that we are so proud of!
Now how about some tank tops that we can give to those female alfisti's who have grown beyond the junior size?
