Ordering Shirts....What To Put On Them?


Hi All,

I am ordering Shirts for our crews. Since my logo is yellow/gold & my background is black the tee-shirts will be the same.

I have never ordered Tee-shirts and i am wondering what to put on them. I am thinking the following:

Front
MGS Properties inc.
www.mgspropertiesinc.com

Back
MGS Properties inc.
General Contractor
Toll free Number
www.mgspropertiesinc.com


Also getting some light color polo shirts for estimators (writing will be in embroided black colors)
Thinking

FRONT
MGS Properties inc

On sleeve
www.mgspropertiesinc.com


Please let me know what you think.

Hope your guys have work plenty of work indoors cause those tee's are gonna be off before noon in the summer heator eight long hours sweatin' bullet's you might wanna think about some tanker's or sleeveless tee's or even white/grey. Don't get me wrong great colors yellow/gold/black combinations.

My guys complain (just a little) no whiner's aloud about my navy blue shirts/white letters colors. Also aren't you going to have your companies cslb # for advertisement purposes? first name on the front for your lead/Foreman guys? What name brand ie Jerzee, Haynes beefy tee, AAA?

Shirts are like billboards, you have 3-5 seconds to read them.

Short and sweet! Company name, phone number.

Re: Ordering Shirts....What To Put On Them?


If you want to do some test runs, I wrote about this shirt service I found on my personal site... http://www.upmykilt.net/2008/04/when...nt-themselves/

you can upload graphics and such, add text... some shirts let you do sleeves too, but most are just front and back.

It could be a great way to test drive a couple different designs at a decent cost and compare the actual finished products.

Then if you do order form them, I think they have bulk discounts... but the bonus would be if you just need a small order for a new employee or two... boom, there ya go.

Re: Ordering Shirts....What To Put On Them?


Thank you for all the help

I will try a run with the black T's with gold/white logo text

i am also getting the 5.5Oz version and 50/50 mix which should be a bit better with the hot summer days. Most of our work is inside homes so it is a little cooler.

I am also doing 5 Pastel colors for the polo shirts with Black text i will upload a pic of them soon enough for you to see!.

thank you for all the kind wors & thoughts
