So here is the option, should we include shirts like 05-06SZ or everyone buy there own shirt and keep the price of SZ down like SZ07?
Prices for shirts would be 10-20 dollars

Vote on the poll
 
I say keep it separate, but not because i dont care about the shirt.
it gives people who don't want one the ability to save a little money instead of being 'forced' into getting a shirt.
 
The only thing that sucks is if we all get the same shirt like in the past we can get the price down. Instead of having to spend $20/shirt.
 
i think if $20 is a deal breaker for you,t hen you've got other problems. personally, i'd rather be able to arrive and pick up my shirt, as opposed to having to order everything on my own....which i didn't do anyway.
 
Well I liked the option of being able to get a "cuter" T-shirt. I have plenty of baggy guy like shirts in my collection.

I do not care either way but seperate is fine with me.

Maybe we can make it an option where we reg with tshirt payment by a certain time, then that gives us the quantity we need for reduced cost shirts. And if people don't want one, they just pay the smaller registration fee.
 
I'll pay for a shirt either way as long as they are quality shirts like the other years that I saw people wearing at fest (05 & 06)

the shirts I bought from Cafe Press this year are crappy... super see-thru and the printing isnt clear.

I've handled screenprinting of shirts for previous Cougar Fests and Hard Core Kitty Fests for less than 20 a shirt with 4-5 colors of screenprinting on colored shirts.

thumbs down on this years shirts.
 
The costs for the SZ 05 and SZ 06 shirts were about $5.50 per shirt. That included the cost of shipping. Costs of the shirts were about $3.00 and printing was like $2.00 per shirt. Im sure parkedcar would have done the same this year. I had about 100 shirts shipped for the price of $50 or however much it was. Only ends up being an extra 50 cents per shirt when you break it down. Its better than having someone paying $7.00 for each shirt. Yes, we only had one design (although I could have ordered different colors I suppose if people let me know in advance) and we had to order a few more shirts to accomodate for late registering people, but at a cost of saving $15 per shirt compared to this year ($13 for shirt and $7 for shipping), that ends up cutting down a lot of the costs for the registration fee and allows tons more money for door prizes, nametags, and lanyards. If you want your best bang for the buck, go through parkedcar. He charged me absolutely nothing for the shirts. Whatever he payed to have them made, thats what he charged me. In return, all he asked was that he be a sponsor for SZ.

:shrug: In the description it gave a "fabric thickness" rating.
but again everyone is entitled to their opinion,
 
I like being able to buy my own shirt. And thong to hang on the rearview.

In the past, people ***** about the cost of SZ when everything is included because of the extra price. And with that, less people register and come along because registration was $40 or something.

Anyway, I like being able to get my own shirt and would do it again. Even thinking of getting more SZ07 shirts just because.
 
Ppl pay more in the long run buying off Cafe. They don't seem to realize that and just see the $15 cost of SZ. Add $10 for a shirt and ppl think $30 is too much. It's just how ppl are. Look at this years attendance. Came way up since the cost didn't include T's.

30 isn't too much with a shirt, but last time I checked 15+10=25 :confused: :shrug:


I just liked picking out my own shirt.

:D
 
Well, I liked being able to buy the shirt a la carte, if for no other reason than I could pay the registration one month and the shirt another month. The light tan ones were nice (and the thickest according to the meter).
