GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

We would like to see what everyone has for an idea for the Hoodie/Sweater. kind of like what we did for the T-Shirts, last year.

Black hoodie with middle pocket, car logo on front chest, GenVibe.com on back

Here's my 1st option...

Looks cool man,the only thing I don't like,is the phrase"Vibe owners unite, or where the cool guys hang out,anything like that.Ghey phrases like that are not cool IMHO.

I can tweak it, just didn't see an actual slogan for the site, open to suggestions.

Move the front tire just a bit over to the right, sorry I'm an artist and I look at the little things. Otherwise it looks pretty sweet.

Got it...will re-load soon.

looks good...move the front tire over a lil...and also..IMO....the wheels should look like one of the options available not like they're aftermarket....dunno...

2nd Round...

Looks good! Personally I wouldn't care to have any slogan at the bottom... but if it is what it is... I'd still take it.

Alright, here we go, three more options taking previous comments into consideration:Option 1-Has just a simple site and established date call out instead of a slogan at the bottom. Without some sort of text in the banner it looks off balance.Option 2-Similar as first option, but with bigger "genvibe" logotype. Option 3-This is the simplest, but my least favorite. Feels top-heavy IMHO.

i really like the first one that as fixed. i like it with "est. 2002" under the back bumper with the text on the bottom. i like "pontiac vibe" on the left and on the right "vibe enthusiasts" on the right. very very cool design though.i concur with the black hoodie with the middle pocket. pull over though. no zipper.

I #2 mostly because is looks less like a military patch, but all are good work. thanks.

I like #3.

am i the only one bothered by the wheels looking like something other than the models/options Pontiac markets them with?....i dunno...dont mean to sound like a harda$$..just bothers me for some reason..maybe noone read my first post all the way through...

Is anyone else concerned about the wheels, current wheels vs. a stock look, they can be changed if necessary. Are there any other designs being created by other members? If not, can someone set up a poll to choose the final design for the hoody? Let's nail down some final tweaks and make some calls. Also, the current color scheme is silver, black, and white. Once we land on a final design I can spin some other color options.

1 or 2 is awesome!!! mmm not to bothered by the rims they look good.

I would prefer to have Pontiac wheels.

I would prefer Pontiac wheels also.

i personally like the 3rd one with the pontiac logo but like #2 with where the "genvibe.com" part is..could you incorporate it like that? i'd get one for sure if it's a waveblue vibe lol

personally I think #1 looks the best, and as for the rims, well the stock ones look lame so like the oens you have on the shirt better

I'll work it up and put up some final options tonight or tomorrow morning.

These seem to be the two top versions based on comments. I think this is the last round. I have also added the OEM style wheels. Let's vote!Option AOption B

I would have to say number 1, it just looks odd without the banner at the bottom. Would be interesting to see this made into a vinyl graphic to go on the back little window( its about useless to see thru anyways)oh one last critique, anychance of getting the red tail light changed so the picture is all black/grey scale. Perhaps make it a a dark grey/black color?

i like option B, it's nice and simple. it also looks like the vibe is on Tein s tech springs too lol but ya i agree withdarcmater, the taillights should be a grey of some sort to match the rest, just looks odd the whole thing is black/white/grey, then bam, red taillights

+1 to the gray scale. I like the banner on the bottom of option A. Would love a vinyl graphic of this too.

Perhaps make it a a dark grey/black color?Yeah, I can do that. Originally, I was going to try and flop the graphic into multiple colors. It looked weird with a grey tail on a blue wave Vibe. It will make things much simpler to keep it one color across the board though.

Quote, originally posted by Blanco_Diablo »I have also added the OEM style wheels. Let's vote!Option AI like the banner on the bottom --- looks good

i like them all, so whichever everyone or yourself chooses, i'd get one

Based on the final two options, the votes are:5 for Option A (added mine in there)1 for Option BAnyone else?P.S. I edited option 1 to show black tails keeping with the monochromatic theme and saving us a screen set-up charge.

aww..im that 1 that opted for option B lol and i like the black tails better, looks sharp

Option A. Very sharp.

I like option A!

So it looks like the A's may have it...anyone else, preferences?Otherwise, the next step would be to nail down a hoody to embellish. Here is what I posted on the last thread...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 (typically $48 retail) 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.

Not a huge fan of the swoosh with the genvibe stuff, but I do like the nike hoodies I've got now. Comfortable, good quality, and that price can't be beat.

im ok with the swoosh.....have a few nike hoodies as well and have no complaints...also great price!

i'd prefer not to have the swoosh. btw, what is the estimated cost after the image is put on?

I like both, so whatever we go with is fine..as for the sweatshrit... not a huge fan of the swoosh, but hey, if that's what we have to go with for the price, then so be it.I'll take one in Black when you get it going, just tell me where to send the money.

Each color in the design will require a screen to be made (usually $35-45 per screen). Once all screen set up fees are accounted for, and the actual cost to screen each hoody (usually 4-5 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 @ =$300 one 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 an upcharge (ie. metallics like silver or gold). Hope this helps.We could also look into different applications like felt or twill w/ embroidery...Or woven label sewn down for the graphic (you can achieve intricate details through this process and it is much nicer than printing), then you embroider the Genvibe.com...It may or may not be considerably more expensive, I have some leads. I will look into it for approximate pricing if we want to explore either of these as an alternate to screen printing.

I know 02CSNOW had a line on some hoodies as well, not sure if there are any updates on that end. I could always look into creating an additional woven label that sews down over the swoosh, maybe one that says "vibe" or something. I will mock that up so you can see what I'm talking about.

I'm not a fan of the Nike swoosh on there.

i dont mind having the nike swoosh, i like nike and it aint a huge logo. as for me i'd buy a babyblue hoodie with the gold(or like a yellowish orange) stitched logo or the felt one instead of the screening

i like option A, but i'd take either one i like nike, so i want the swoosh.nike hoodies are excellent quality, and for the price of a cheaper, lower quality one, this is the best way to go IMOto the people that don't like the swoosh... there's an easy way to get rid of it. cuticle scissors and tweezers will take care of the problem in no time

after all this, i may make my own shirt for the summereither like a polo shirt with the logo on the chest/pocket if there is one my name on the sleeve or something

The hoodies I can get already have swooshes on the top of the pocket bag like in the photo. For those who don't want the swoosh, my thought was to create an additional label that could be sewn down over the swoosh so it would not be visible. Kind of ike this:I will make some calls about the labeling tomorrow and see what kind of pricing I get. Should still be fairly low. My goal is to try and pull this all off at the best quality possible for under $30, hopefully closer to $25..
