Wings of Glory Aerodrome Fokker Dr.I T-shirt

[Oberst Hajj]

As many of you know, over a year ago I looked into producing a T-shirt that we could all enjoy wearing during are games. We ran several polls and the Fokker Dr.I came out on top (as it so often did during the war!). I ran into several issues with the artwork we were going to use (it was not optimized for screen printing) and eventually the project got put on the back burner so to speak for more pressing projects. Until now! I have had new custom artwork designed specifically for screen printing T-shirts for us. The graphics will be imprinted with a medium grey ink. I personally checked this ink color on each of the shirt colors and it give a very nice, noticeable, but not so "here I am!" bright print.


The front of the shirts will have the Wings of Glory Aerodrome logo centered on the chest (called a Button print), 5" across :

73555

The back of the shirt has the Dr.I in the center of the back, 14" across:

73556

The available colors will be:

Black
7355773566

Cardinal Red (a darker red)
7355873559

Charcoal Grey
7356073561

Navy Blue
7356273563

Olive
7356473565


The mockups above are not 100% accurate color wise of course.

I have put these up as pre-order items on Aerodrome Accessories (http://www.aerodromeaccessories.com/index.php/apperal/wings-of-glory-aerodrome-fokker-dr-i-t-shirt.html). In order to produce these, I need sell at least 29 of them. To help this along, if you order between now and February 16th, you will save $2.00.

As a bonus option, you can add your name or user name from the site on the sleeve. I don't have a photo of this, but it looks really cool!

We have very options when it comes to WWI aircraft themed shirts, so here is your chance to make it happen. And if sales of this shirt are good, I will be producing other planes as well.

[somaliavet]

Oh VERY nice! There is a great mix of colors, too! :thumbsup:

[Nick_ace]

Oh nice T-shirts on great colors!!These T-shirts will be sold in Brazil??:confused:
GREAT!

Nick

[Oberst Hajj]

Yes, I'm very happy with them and the expanded color range for the shirts.

Nick

Nick, these will be sold exclusively through the AA site linked in the first post. However, I do ship to Brazil (several times in the past already).

[OldGuy59]

Love these. I'm ordering one, but I'm gonna hold out for an Camel one.

I can see doing tournaments, or demos, with 'staff' wearing both sides of the conflict. Red or black for Central, olive for Entente.

I think it would look great, and be easy for demo participants to tag their respective coaches. Just saying.

Mike

[Oberst Hajj]

That's a great idea about wearing the different colors for the different sides at demos! Hopefully this first design sells well enough to make a Camel, which is in deed the next in line, shirt possible.

[va beach ace]

ordered one can't wait

[phililphall]

Just sent my order.

[flash]

Good call on the grey ink Keith - very smart ! :thumbsup:

Yep, the subdued look goes well with "war stuff".

Ok This is a GREAT!!!I would love have a Wings of Glory Aerodrome T-Shirt!!!!
Thanks!!:)

[somaliavet]

Count me in!

[Doug]

Like OldGuy59 I am going to hold on for a Camel on second thought I just might get the Dr1 so I can wear the appropriate shirt for which side i am playing on!

[somaliavet]

For those of you holding out for a Camel, it looks like further variants are dependent upon sales of the Dr.1. Its kind of like a Kickstarter for tee shirts! :clap:

I like chosen colors and the name option on the sleeve is great. I will think about it!

[Grey Knight]

They look very nice,colors are great

You are correct sir.

[Nightbomber]

I am in for the Black Fokker Leader;) Preorder being placed.

[fast.git]

These look great. Pre-order on its way!

[7eat51]

Great shirts. Will be pre-ordering.

Any chance of polo shirts and caps in the future?

[seagull]

I second the call for polo shirts in the future.

[Oberst Hajj]

Great shirts. Will be pre-ordering.

Any chance of polo shirts and caps in the future?

Any further products along this line will depend on how sales of this first shirt do.

[Oberst Hajj]

And we are at 9 shirts pre-ordered so far.

[Thomatchef]

T-shirt has been pre-orderd! Together with some other stuff to ;)

[flash]

I had to have one of these Fokkers !! ;)

[inkybrushes]

I'd like to get one, but I saw that "small" is not a size option. Any chance of remedying that?

[Doug]

I'd like to get one, but I saw that "small" is not a size option. Any chance of remedying that?

Likewise I need an XXXL as I am fat :eek:

[Oberst Hajj]

The issue is the size of the artwork going on the back of the shirts. I'll have to double check and see if it would even fit on a small.


Likewise I need an XXXL as I am fat :eek:

It's up on the site already... 3X-Large ;)

[Oberst Hajj]

We are currently at 15 shirts.

[7eat51]

Make that 17.

[crashx]

Just placed my order!!!

[Spad Mo]

Hello All,
Just ordered my shirt in red and pre-ordered all 12 of the new planes for May:clap:. If any of you guys are going to be at Cold Wars, I will be there. I will be in the dealer area. My booth is Loyalhanna Outpost. Hope to see you there:thumbsup:.
take care,
Keith

[Oberst Hajj]

Sitting at 25 right now.

[OldGuy59]

Keith!
You've got to be kidding! Perhaps everyone is saving money for their minis.

Could you mark me up for an additional Black Fokker, until the Camel shirts are available?

Mike

[this might have been a suicidal move, when SWMBO sees the banking notice...]

[fast.git]

Sitting at 25 right now.

How many do you need to make this happen?

[7eat51]

Unless something has changed, the initial post had 29 minimum.

Well, historically, non gaming items have not done very well with this crowd. It took over a year to sell 25 of the Against All Odds coffee mugs, and that was at a much lower price point. The laser engraved WWI aviation artwork did not sell at all... well, maybe one of them did.

So with this project I'm being a little more cautious. I'm already out $165 for the artwork and I'm not committing several hundred more to make these shirts unless the interest is really there ;) I personally would love to have several different planes on several different colored shirts :D

Do you have a cutoff date in mind?

[Oberst Hajj]

Probably the end of the month.

[7eat51]

If I may ask, what is the current count?

[Oberst Hajj]

We hit 29 today! I'm going to try and get down to the printers this break, but I've got a rental house to get ready for new renters on Friday! I'll keep everyone posted.

[OldGuy59]

We hit 29 today!

Yay! Can't wait!:clap: To all that ordered T-shirts - :thankyou:

Mike:thumbsup:

[7eat51]

We hit 29 today!

Great news! They do look great. Thanks for designing these.

[somaliavet]

Is there a projected time frame for delivery, Herr Oberst? :confused:

[Oberst Hajj]

I should know more today... they were closed last week when I was able to get down there.

[Dan-Sam]

And final counts? How many T-shirts were be ordered? Some prospects for another planes for the future?

[7eat51]

How does one go about ordering Origin t-shirts?

Thanks.

[Oberst Hajj]

The T-shirt shop said they should be done about the 5th and I'll get them out in the mail to you guys right after that.

Eric, as per our PMs, the Origins shirts have been cancelled due to lack of interest.

[somaliavet]

Great news! Thanks, Herr Oberst! :salute:

Looking forward to wearing them.

I'm a bit saddened about the Origin shirts; might have to buy some accessories to overcome my grief.

Thanks for designing and producing these Herr Oberst. :thankyou:

[somaliavet]

Just received a package in the mail and...

Its looks GREAT! (The shirt, not me.) The printing looks awesome and shows up well, including the name on the sleeve. The 3x is quite large enough to for those of us that are "of generous proportions". Finally, as an unexpected bonus, the OD green shirt is a darn close match to my Feldmutze! Thanks, Herr Oberst, and well done! :thumbsup:

[Flashman]

They look great! Considering one :)

[Kaiser]

Really nice shirts! But i would rather like the Aerodrome logo placed in the upper right corner instead of in the middel of the chest.

[Doug]

Looks good to me!

[crashx]

Just got my shirt, and it looks great!!! Now to pick up my ears from the floor, as my smile got too big!!!

[Nightbomber]

My black one is mailed and on the way from AA:D

[va beach ace]

when I got home from vacation mine was waiting for me, looks really good

[Misdomingo]

My two arrived yesterday, and they look great! Thanks Keith!

[flash]

Mine is inbound ;)

[Oberst Hajj]

Glad you guys are liking them!

[Marechallannes]

Just received a package in the mail and...

...the OD green shirt is a darn close match to my Feldmutze!

Great picture, Brian!

This is the last, what the scared Franzmann will see, when you enter his trench in this combination. (...with a pistol, a few grenades and a Feldspaten, of course!)

:salute:

[Nightbomber]

This cool T-Shirt has just been delivered along with very nice bomber smoke and fire markers:)
Thanks Keith!

[Oberst Hajj]

Looking sharp!

[OldGuy59]

Finally, Canada Post delivered my Aerodrome Accessories package. In it were these spiffy Convention/Demonstration/Skype/Tournament T-Shirts. I now have a wardrobe for Enfilade 2013:
8663886639

Sorry about the model, but the T-Shirts are Awesome!

Thanks, Oberst Hajj.

Mike :)

[Nightbomber]

Looking great, Mike:)

[Baron Rolf]

They do look ace, I'll have to buy one to go with my UK WoG T-shirt, perhaps next month with an extra plane or two from aa.

[7eat51]

Mine arrived. Looks great. Got one for a friend. He really likes his as well. Thank for making these Keith. :thumbsup:

[Boney10]

Received mine this week with 2 x ME110 and a £14.40 bill from customs and Royal Mail, didn't mind the £6 vat it was the£8 Post Office handleing fee that peeved me. But shirt is good

[ArkansasChuck]

Keith, any chance of me getting a XXL in that awesome Green color? I know these are years old but man I sure would love one of those shirts.

Please. Pretty please. :drinks:


-Chuck

[OldGuy59]

It would really be nice to get new shirts. I now have a team that needs apparel at demos and conventions.

And if we get a campaign started, where we play in public, it would be even nicer to have the sides in appropriate gear. So, the Sopwith Camel shirts would be an essential complement to these wonderful shirts.

As Chuck said above: 'Please. Pretty please. :drinks:'. :pray:

[OldGuy59]

Ok. The Fokker Dr.1 shirts are still available, and even on sale!

www.aerodromeaccessories.com - Fokker Dr.1 T-shirts (http://www.aerodromeaccessories.com/index.php/apperal/wings-of-glory-aerodrome-fokker-dr-i-t-shirt.html)

However, no sign of the Camel shirt :cry:

[ArkansasChuck]

Mike, those are awesome! And it says only for sale in size MEDIUM. Makes a fat boy like me CRY!!!!:p

[ArkansasChuck]

PLLLLLLLLLLLEASE KEITH!!!

[OldGuy59]

First, lets start with this:

292614

I'm thinking that Keith will probably want to bury me in my shirt before tackling this again. However, I am wearing my shirts out, besides not having any Entente shirts for when I'm flying my campaign RAF planes.

Yes, this was a Royal pain for Keith, but the shirts are so Awesome. And although 2020 isn't a good year for getting together and showing our passion (addiction) for Wings of Glory, it might be the time to get things done, in preparation for better days.

We could start with a pole? I'll let Keith do that.

Hopefully, he doesn't send me a letter bomb, or ban me from the site.

[Von Scharf]

OK, that made me spew my coffee on the keyboard this morning. Damn funny. I want to be a Thread Necromancer if I grow up!

[Fix]

Funny enough, I stumbled upon this thread yesterday myself... and then realized it was so old^^

That's the best part... the age of the thread revived! I'm still smiling.
Very clever, Mike...

[camelbeagle]

I would purchase some shirts. Didn't even know these ever existed.

[Flying Helmut]

I would purchase some shirts. Didn't even know these ever existed.

I would, too.

These were before my time on the Forum.

[Oberst Hajj]

As you can tell by the dates of the different posts in this thread, It took about 5 years for me to sell all the shirts that I ordered, and then had to discount them heavily to move the last ones. And I only ordered the "custom" shirts plus the minimum number of "generic" shirts in order to get them made.

So, if I was to even think about doing these again, they would all have to be pre-sold. I have to have a minimum of 25 of each design, but the the colors and sizes could be mixed and matched. Short sleeve, long sleeve, and even hoodies could count towards the 25 as well.

[Flying Helmut]

I'd be looking for 3; - 2 short sleeve and one long.

[Jager]

I would be in for a couple, but could they be 2X short sleeve, long length? I have a longer torso than most men, and an unfortunate grwth called a beer belly :hmm:

Karl

[OldGuy59]

Well, if Keith is to have an idea of the numbers, I would like replacements of the above shirts. One red, one black, both short-sleved, and 2XL.

But it would be nice to have two camel t-shirts, one olive drab, one royal blue, in the 2XL, for when I'm flying for the Entente.

[Justinian527]

Well, I'd be in for two shirts. One red, one black - both short-sleeved and size 2XL. Any other size makes me look fat!
Tom

[Jager]

As a suggestion, if people are that willing; pre-pay only. That way he's not hung with the extra laundry ;)
Karl

[OldGuy59]

Karl

I am fully on-board with pre-paying. I actually expected that Keith wouldn't do it any other way, this time.

[Justinian527]

I'll gladly pre-pay. Just say when.
Tom

[Flying Helmut]

I'm up for pre-pay, too!

I'm guessing that a certain number of "orders" will need to be indicated in order for Keith to suggest an approximate price?

[Von Scharf]

As a suggestion, if people are that willing; pre-pay only. That way he's not hung with the extra laundry ;)
Karl

Count me in for at least one!

[camel crew]

Add my name. I'll prepay for a couple

[Brak Morn]

100% cotton?

[Fix]

This looks nice indeed. I know this is a bit premature, but what would be the costs?

[Oberst Hajj]

I can't give an exact price at this point, but a short sleeve T would run right around $20 plus or minus $5 depending on size. Figure several more dollars if we do the user names on the sleeves again (if that is even possible this time around).

[Von Scharf]

User names on the sleeves?! Oh yeah... how do I pre-pay? :clap:

[Fix]

That sounds very reasonable! Problem is shipping :surrender:

[Oberst Hajj]

100% cotton?

Maybe. I've not selected the actual shirts so I can not say for sure.

[Oberst Hajj]

Okay, if you would be willing to pre-order a short sleeve t-shirt, please make a post listing the number, size, color, and plane (Dr.I or Camel). Please post it in this format so it is easy for me to track:

1x 2XL Red Dr.I
2x L Olive Camel

[Justinian527]

Looks like I got off work at a good time.
I'll sign up for 3 short sleeve T-shirts.
1x 2XL Red Dr.1
1x 2XL Black Dr.1
1x 2XL Olive Camel
Thank you, Sir!

[Baxter]

As much as I love this website, I will not be buying any of those T shirts. I reckon the plane should be on the front and the Aerodrome advertising stuff on the back. I have a couple of really great US style T shirts with a DR1 on the front of one and a Bristol fighter on the other one. Now, they look really great. Good luck with your sales anyway. :drinks:

[Jager]

1 2XL (long length if possible) black Dr.I
1 2XL (long length if possible) black Camel
1 1XL Navy Camel (If call signs on the sleeve are possible, this one is for Jago85)

Karl

[camelbeagle]

1 4XL Olive Sopwith Camel
1 4XL Black Fokker DRI

[camel crew]

1 x L Black Dr.1 short sleeved T shirt
1 x L Olive Camel short sleeved T shirt

still names on sleeve? hope we're getting closer to an order

[Gangleader147]

Is this still a live order? Would be good to join in the support.

[Pseudotheist]

If this happens, I'd be in for:
1 XL Olive Camel
1 XL Grey Camel
