Bump

Can we get two more? If anyone is on the fence, jump in so we can get these before the snow flies!

PhotoJoe 09-05-13 03:02 PM

I'm working on a creative solution. Stay tuned.....

PhotoJoe 09-06-13 08:59 PM

Order window is closing on Sunday, September 8. If you want in, now's your chance. BTW, based on the experience this round, future orders won't be considered until we have at least 15, maybe 20 people interested. Those who committed and paid have been very patient. Thank you.

Chitown_Mike 09-09-13 01:11 PM

Glad I didn't miss it this time!

Joe Bifulco 09-10-13 05:24 AM

Now that the ordering is closed what is happening with this? Can you go forward with just 8 jerseys or will we be getting refunds?

Thanks.

Joe

I'm moving forward. I'll buy the extra two jerseys. Have started the order process, but just like last round, the vendor has removed the larger sizes from the website. Working with my rep right now to get them put back on.

Joe Bifulco 09-11-13 06:38 AM

Thanks for all your work on this. I hate to see you have to eat the additional Jerseys.

LabRat2k3 09-11-13 07:02 AM

Very cool Joe. I can't wait to sport my clyde pride.

Thank you, and please don't worry about it. It's the cost of learning. :innocent:

PhotoJoe 09-11-13 08:55 AM

Order is officially closed. Order placed. Expected delivery TO ME is approximately October 25.

What sizes did you get? Or is it just for you?

Just in case someone would want to buy another....

PhotoJoe 09-11-13 09:03 AM

I ordered two 4x Short Sleeve full zip. Not for me. I may throw them up on Fleabay and see what happens.

I really think this is going to be the last order round for quite a while. With Champ-Sys dropping anything larger than 4x, they don't really "fit" our needs anymore. It worked out OK for this round, but between the reduction of size offerings (we are the C/A forum after all) and the reduced participation, I think this style has reached saturation. I think I'll give it some time off, then start again in a year or so with a new design....maybe. Guess it depends on interest.

When, not if ( ;) ), you start a new design would there be collaboration again as well? I enjoyed throwing some ideas in the pot with this design.

And if you want to train me in your ways, I would be a willing C&A jersey padawan orderer.

PhotoJoe 09-11-13 09:51 AM

Thanks, Mike. I agree that it will probably be a "when" more than "if", but we'll see based on interest at the time. And yes, I enjoyed the colloborative effort of this endeavor. I know people say decision by committee never works, but in this case, I think it went really well.

I'm struggling to justify the $71 expense for myself ... when you get them in let me know ... I might want one. I think the 4x would work for me.

Will do. There is no pressure. $71 for a shirt is a lot of money. I get it! I'm pretty sure I can sell them on ebay if necessary.

warrennnnnnnnnn 09-11-13 01:14 PM

Pending seeing how the fit works out for me, I would love to order again when a new design comes rolling around. I also have an interest in design and typeface and stuff, so I could contribute.

PhotoJoe 09-11-13 01:40 PM

Awesome. It'll be a while, but the colaborativ effort makes it fun. I enjoyed facilitating the discussions and guiding the process, however everyone had great ideas and I really like how it ended up.

bassjones 09-14-13 08:14 PM

Wonder if you could get aerotech to do them. They have Jerseys in real American sizes up to 6X. Wonder if they'd do custom designs/logos.

PhotoJoe 09-16-13 07:53 AM

I'll look into them when the time comes. I'm sure we'll have an option somewhere!

iTrek 10-19-13 04:29 PM

Looking forward to the jersey coming in. Thank you for your work on this PhotoJoe.

PhotoJoe 10-19-13 05:51 PM

Estimated ship date to me from China is 10/21. Stay tuned.....

Clydesdale and Athenas Jersey Order Thread - ROUND 3
 
Just catching up on thread. If there is a re-design down road I would likely be interested again.

PhotoJoe 10-19-13 06:49 PM

Interest is dwindling. Actually, I think the "market is pretty saturated". I had to buy two jerseys just to make the 10 minimum order. However, lets give it time and see what happens. I do think a re-design would be good, but it can't be done too soon.

We're going to have to switch manufacturers, too. Champ-Sys dropped the larger sizes.

I think people need to post more pictures of them in the jersey. Also a review perhaps? I know there is a thread floating around already, but perhaps those who have been using them can write a review on how they have held up, the quality, and so on?

PhotoJoe 10-23-13 03:11 PM

Mine is from round 1. It has held up great. I don't have many jerseys, so this gets a lot of use. This is a useless review, though, simply because the manufacturer has stopped making anything larger than 4x (if I remember correctly - they've dropped the sizing options so many times I've lost track). Any future projects will have to be through a new vendor.

warrennnnnnnnnn 10-23-13 07:19 PM

Getting excited... they should be arriving at PhotoJoe's place in about two days!

Chitown_Mike 10-29-13 01:52 PM

What's the good word PJ?
