Foo - Do you like the new BikeForums.net T-shirt?

Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes. Our community can help you find information about hard-to-find and localized information like bicycle tours, specialties like where in your area to have your recumbent bike serviced, or what are the best bicycle tires and seats for the activities you use your bike for.
Personally i think the logo that was picked is ugly and the worst of the lot. How do you feel?
Here is the shirt: http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=349189&page=6

How is it that someone so hated by everyone can be advertised so much?
Is the fact that the crank is at BDC indicative of the posts on this forum?
:D

If you don't like the one that received the most votes, then make up a design and get it printed up.
It's not that difficult to do.
Starting a post to say how much you don't like the one that won is sour grapes.
Cypress, the RYANF on the back is only an example of the option to spend an extra $5 or whatever to get your user id on the back.
I actually like it. It's simple and to the point. Personally, I'm going to get one with my username on the back. Bravo guys.

Yep, me too. Time for Rochester to know Tude.
As if they didn't already :)

I can't see this being used outside of a BF gathering. I have a feeling it will develop "stains".

I think the word that strikes me is PLAIN, and boring.
I think they rushed it too much because there were some good late arrivals.

Where would one order? None of the threads I see give any details about when it will be available, how to order, etc...

Personally, No, but it won because people voted for it. I like the idea of the username on the back. As far as late entries... oh well, some were quite nice, but you have to have a cutoff date. Ya snooze ya loose, as they say.
Carry on.
Where did all of the votes for this one uni crank design come from. Yours was leading and them BOOM! Did they all come from the Road Forum?

Heh heh.
Starting a poll regarding another poll about whose results you were upset. And influencing your own poll with leading opinions like " i think the logo that was picked is ugly and the worst of the lot."
FOX News is looking for pollsters like you.
;)
Personally, I like the design. It's simple, easy to read, and obviously about bicycles. The first example above would either lead people to think you have a Best Friend of a Boy Friend (most people who would see you wear that BF t-shirt would not know that it meant Bike Forums unless they came in for a really close look). The second one is okay, but if it didn't get created in time to be in the competition, then that's tough.
Again, I provided you a wonderful option if you want one of those. Check out Cafepress.com.

I understand wanting everyone to buy one design because we can probably order bulk from a company for cheaper, but why not create a couple popular designs at cafepress and allow people to order separately? Anyone care to volunteer? I will do it if there is some interest, but I can't guarantee when I would get it done.
Heh heh.

Upset? Not really. I wasn't going to buy one anyway. Well, maybe if it had a naked pic of that female pole vaulter that cypress posted, i might reconsider. But other than that, I'm not a "club shirt" sort of guy. In fact i find the whole deal a little weird, but that's just me.
I was just wondering if the entire community had bad taste or whether it was limited to that thread.
Once I realized that I could get t-shirt without ryanf on tshirt, I became much more accepting of tshirt. Not sure I want to walk around with "Jsharr" on my back. I mean i get enough **** thrown at me when I walk the streets in anonymity. Why give the haters more reason to be hatin is all I'm saying.
T-shirt flamewar! GO!
Hold on I'm coming!!!

Actually, you should climb up off that tiny little sour grape Portis....the air is actually better up here. ;) :p

I vote NO.

I've changed me mind. I want a white one, with NO logo.

Not sure, but it did change, pretty much overnite, once they made the poll more public. Either way you win some you lose some. Cheers to the winner!

c'mon. It isn't bad. I'm not getting one either, and I would have voted for one of the others, but why vote on something you don't plan on getting?

That's why I don't like it, and why they left out a pedal right? Or am I not on the same page on what you're thinking.

I agree. I'm going to get one with Ms. Gio's username on the back, too.

That's funny.....because I heard Ryanf didn't want his username on it either, but was getting "Krink" on his. :p

Yeah
When did we stop picking on that guy anyway?
I think we need a run-off election. Only 21.9% of respondents voted for this design. That doesn't mean that 78.1% voted against it, but there are certainly a lot of people who prefer other designs. I'd suggest another poll with the top three from this one.

I voted because I WOULD have bought one... well... one of the other designs.
I'd buy ANY one of the other top 4 designs. :(
I hate that design, it's comes off as plain, and cookie cutter.
That sure as heck doesn't rep FOO.
We need to do our own shirt, cuz that ain't us. Nope.
You just want a pink shirt.

I'd have toagree with the top 3 idea for people who didn't vote on the 3 but make like a 3 day poll. SPEAKING OF WHICH..... I might be able todo another shirt.....
I wanna do a foo cycling jersey, that would be amazing. Once I reget photoshop, I know, knowing the freaks in foo, we could come up with something funkay.

Have you ever considered the person who designed it is Foo family?
And that by now they have seen this thread? That's messed up, Jon. :(
