GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

A while back ago during summertime, I had new t-shirts made for everyone. Now that winter time is around how about some hoodies and sweaters?! I will be using the same design that was on the shirts. I am trying to find out how many people we can get together for a purchase. I am not sure of the price per article, but I can find that out and let everyone know by Tuesday.Just let me know if you are interested in a hoodie, a sweater, or even both. Will most likely go with some neutral colors ( black, white, gray).Here are the shirts for all who have never seen them with the designs that were created.

id love to see a black hoodie with the pocket logo in white.

I want a hoody But I think the red Vibe should be on the front.

I ditto the hoodie, Black in color.(Large)Quote, originally posted by kevera »I want a hoody But I think the red Vibe should be on the front.Yeah, I was waiting for you to say that.

I like the hoodie too and I agree with Kev on putting the Vibe on the front instead When I ride the Duc in the cold I can rep the Vibe at the same time!

I'm down for a Hoodie.... XXL, the XL always shrinks to much unless it's a XLT... Black please... With white logo if possible... if not, i'm still down...

hoodie! im with the rest, black hoodie with something on the front. The mnsc group had a cool one where they had their logo stitched on the front.....

+1 for the hoodie.

So I was online and used this custom t-shirt maker to whip together a "username" t shirt like someone suggested. i think it was waveresponder on the GV.com store thread.http://forums.genvibe.com/zero...age=1 I think it turned out great!FRONT:BACK:

Looks like you also made a custom boyfriend, LOL(p.s. - I am not a homophobe, lol)

voted hoodie.maybe just the site name in the site font on the front? and that should definitely be a Neptune Vibe

if I could get the red vibe on the front of a sweatshirt "small" with out anything on the back i would want one of those. The teeshirt with the red vibe on the back makes me break out in a sweat five mins after I put it on because of the amount of silkscreen ink on the back.

If I get a hoodie, I don't want anything on the back.

Ok, I just got off the phone with my buddy and the print shop. Here are the prices, let me know what you all think. He bases prices on colors and I told him it would be around 3 or 4 colors..Hoodies - $16.50Sweaters - $12.00

What kind of hoodie? Like what base brand would be used? I would think the Vibe on the front, with a large'ish GenVibe.Com on the back would be sweet... 16.50 is CHEAP... again, it depends on the base brand for the hoodie though, if these thing are junk, 16.50 is still a good price, but if they are, say Campion or Hanes..ect. then 16.50 is REALLY cheap...

I believe the brand is Hanes, but not fully positive. I can find that out. The pirce's I posted are before shipping.

I'll take 2 Black hoodies L... if possible with just a Genvibe logo on the front... nothing on the back...

Once we figure out how the design will be, I will start up a new thread for orders. The same as I did with the shirts.

I say the red car on the front with genvibe site address below it. Nothing on the back.

I think a black hoodie would be awesome!!

I'm in. The Vibe on the front with not much on the back is great. If that's what we agree on, I'm in Even if we use the "front/head on view" like in the very first pic in the corner of the t-shirt but like blow it up a little to fit on the front of hte hoodie that wouild be even better. Then we could get the color of the hoodie to match our car and we wouldn't have to worry about the color of the cars, just the color of the hoodie.

Just to let everyone know..........If you want to change the color of the car for each of your own hoodies, then it is gonna cost you more. I can do it but it is a new screen every time. Not so sure about the color of the hoodie, but I do know it is cheaper to do them all in 1 or 2 colors. The same goes for anyone wanting to put their screen name on the hoodie.I was thinking just like Merzbow, blowing up the front design from the shirt and putting it on the front of the hoodie with genvibe.com being on the back. Also looking at taking the back design from the shirts and having it look like the front design, then using that as the front design for the hoodie with genvibe.com on the bak.I am trying to work on a few ideas and have help from others. I want to figure out the cheapest price but at the same time make everyone happy.

Let me know if you need any additional assistance, I do apparel graphics for a living and could help out if you need it. FYI, a black hoody, or any dark color for that matter would require a white underprint to get good quality color, so that would be an additional screen.Also, not sure who is doing your hoodies, but if you wanted to do some higher-end ones you could embroider it or do a combo embroidery/twill application. There would be a charge to digitize the graphic, but then you could change out the thread colors for future orders. I could work some conections as well if you ever want to go that route. I might be able to get some pretty good quality hoodies through work for a discount, let me know if you want me to look into it further.

Hey man, if you want to go ahead a look into it and do the hoodies that is up to you. I was trying to get ideals from everyone on what they wanted and what kind of design they wanted to do. Once that, I was gonna get them made, but dont when that was gonna happen.

i'd like a hoodie with just the redcar and the genvibe on the back..nothing on the front

So did this Idea just die or what?

just like the "calendar"...lol

Champagne dreams, beer budgets... much the same with WHY we drive Vibes...lol... sporty car, look mean, handles nice... but economical.. I'm still in for a hoodie.. and some shirts... a baseball cap would be cool to...

Maybe he's afraid to show himself after the season the Dolphins had. As I understand from MO he moved to VA, maybe that has something to do with is absence?!?

Quote, originally posted by Blanco_Diablo »How many hoodies would you guess we would need? I have some ideas but I need to look into pricing.Well, there was 21 votes for hoodies... so I would say we probably need close to that number...I think if we got something a little more finalized we could do a re-count to see how many people are still interested.

His new sub-division doesn't have internet service yet.I'm calling him tonight,and I will find out what's going on.We should start the art work though,get that started and go from there.

kev once you find out let me know so i can get restarted on the vibe design again.

I could get us these for $12-$13 per hoody unembellished. They would however have the swoosh on the pocket. If no one is opposed to that, you would be getting a really nice quality hood far below wholesale. I could get about 25-30 for now at that price in any of the sizes/colors listed in the image. Let me know.

I don't much like the idea of the swoosh, but, I could deal with it... I try not to support these mega companies if at all possible, their is plenty of other brain dead people out there doing that...

Yeah, no worries, just throwing the option out there. Bump for more responses.

I'm interested depending on final cost which sounds like it will be really reasonable. Won't they all have to have the same design even if we choose different colors?

That depends. You could design it so it would work on any color (add a neutral colored outline like white or silver). If there is only one design, each color will require a screen to be made (usually $35-45 per color that makes up the design. Once all screen set up fees are accounted for, and the actual cost to screen each hoody (usually a few bucks each) we could take the grand total and divide by the number of people ordering hoodies to get final cost per piece.Example of approximate costs:25 hoodies wanted=$300one placement (i.e. fornt only or back only) 3 color graphic @ $135 screen set up feesprinting $4 per hoody=$100total=$535 / number of hoodies (25)Approx. $21.40 per hoodyThis is just a guideline, but it is feasible to achieve a quality hoody in your color choice for about 25 bucks. Then you can rock you genvibe gear with pride! Any specialty inks would warrant a small upcharge (ie. metallics like silve or gold). Hope this helps.We could also look into different applications like twill w/ embroidery but it may be considerably more expensive. I could look into it for approximate pricing if we want to explore that as an option.

Let's get the artwork started then.The genvibe design gurus can make a few designs and we can do like last time and have a poll to decide which one we want.

Just like with the shirts. Somebody create an artwork and get it to me. If you want me to get them, or someone else can do them.I cant remember how much my friend told me the hoodies were. But if I remember right, they are between $15 and $20, maybe less. I will check on everything this week and get with you all next weekend.

I'm thinking we should set a deadline for design submissions. How about 8pm EST on Saturday March 1st. Then we can post the designs, vote, and move on.

PM me and we can talk about the design i have on the shirts we did awhile ago.

I don't have Photo Shop so hopefully we get some others to submit ideas!

yea id like to see what others have in mind. you know what ill start a thread over in the Photoshop thread for people to submit ideas for the Hoodie/Sweat shirt.

I want one!! :DI would seriously wear that hoodie

Any udates on your end? I can set something up as far as obtaining hoodies and printing if you are cool with that, either way.
