Local may be cheaper. I'd be in for a shirt and a hoodie. Mine have seen better days and no longer really wear them lol

We could possibly use our vistaprint account we have a corporate account with my business.
Nice, if we go this route, I'll get in touch. Definitely Appreciate the offer!

Do you have the artwork in a graphic file by chance (ie. eps, ai or svg)?"
I don't at the moment. However, I believe this is a hurdle that I we can overcome. While I was looking into this, it looks like many use inkscape to convert regular graphics over to vector graphics images. So I was going to give that a whirl. I was going to wait and see what Prez sent over first though. Everything I have is jpg, and I only have a couple higher resolution images, most are low resolution, which definitely is not ideal for this. (converted to vector graphics though it might be fine?)

I've gotten many shirts printed with high res png files. It's normally ok. My first round of Because Motorcycle shirts were actually just a super high res png. I designed it in Photoshop before I really knew how to use Illustrator lol
If you need someone to give a crack at vectorizing a logo let me know. I can either figure it out in illustrator or I can ask our graphic designer at work to help me out.

I haven't gotten anything from Prez, I'm sure he's still busy.
I've uploaded the logos and files I have here.
There is one vector image in there where I was attempting to let the programs auto vectorize the image, but it's definitely lost a big of details. Again I'm no graphic artist / designer.
I am more than willing though to send a couple over to something like VistaPrint as an experiment though just to see how they come out before we print off a final batch somewhere. Definitely don't want to print off 20 and find out they look like low res images.

I'll take a crack at it. I'll let you know what I come up with.
Also, for Because Motorcycle I created a printify account and linked it to a store on my website. It's print on demand. You could set up all kinds of colors and do hoodies, different style shirts etc. I think to get it to cost you have to sell the shirts for about 15-20 bucks (for a base shirt) with the shipping. You wouldn't have to hold any inventory. Of course you could just do pre-order only and buy local as well.

- This is still being worked on. It has not been dropped.
- I figure shipping will have to be an option

Update on this. To test the waters a bit, I've placed an order with a company to get a T-shirt in hand, and see how it looks.
- Assuming it looks OK, my plan is to send a couple of these out to people and see how they actually hold up.
- I do have a backup plan if the logos currently in hand aren't good enough for printing. However, no sense in worrying about that unless it's an issue.
So FasterLongerDeeperHarder, but moving. The shirts are dated 2025, so it's not behind that much!
