What would you pay for a Team Juicy Nomex Shirt?

[sydude]

We're putting together the 2006 Team Juicy Racing merchandise line benefitting the mechanics fund, and I'd like to see what interest you guys have in buying a Team Juicy Nomex Shirt. It would be a Delta-C Nomex shirt, OMP quality, which is in my opinion the best. Soft soft soft. We'll come up with some embroidered or silk-screened graphics to make it look really snazzy, too.

Please let me know what is the highest price point that you would be interested. These things are expensive to begin with, so we need to know how far we can stick our hands in your pockets to come up with cash for the mechanics!

Be aware that retail OMP and Sparco shirts are in the $75-100 range.

Also, please let me know if you prefer a plain crew neck T-Shirt, or if you prefer a mock shirt.

Thanks

Sy

wow i'm the first to vote!! great idea sy...although i get free nomex and i'm required to wear it i think its great!!

[sydude]

Keep those votes coming, guys. The more of you that want one, the more likely it is that we'll get'em for ya.

[badgersid]

i am willng to pay no more 5than 500$

[AlDelattre]

I"m in - maybe we can pre-order a stockpile for the Western Series as well....maybe you can get BLACK colored shirts, not sure if OMP makes those.... It looks meaner and hides stains better.....

[sydude]

Al, we can definitely get stuff made up for the Western Series. I'm not sure about black Nomex shirts yet, but we'll try. I'm sending you my info via PM - give me a call and we'll try to arrange.

[Dragoon]

I like the shirts and it bet its worth it too

nicely done!

[sydude]

Wow, we've got 24 buyers so far, and only one stick in the mud. This will happen. Sweeeet!

Please reply with any ideas for the graphics.

[MJAmok]

In case anyone is wondering... I was the 'stick in the mud'!

I thought someone should vote for 'wanting to burn'!

[cashless]

Im in! When will they be ready?
I think it should be black and have silver leters
and sould simply say " Team Juicy Racing"

[sydude]

Black is going to be too expensive, I think. The only way to get a black shirt is to get it made out of CarbonX, which I can't seem to buy for less than $70 or so apiece in bulk. Factor in the silkscreening, shipping, etc. and you guys will have to pay over $150 to make it worthwhile for the fund.

We'll know more about the entire line shortly, though, and will update you all.

[dalyduo]

Given that moniker you will, of course, have to pay up front.

Jonathan- While we're on the subject (of you!) I hate to bring this up... but isn't there a rumor going around about you "short braking a student" and "causing a major crash"...? Care to comment? The only reason why I ask is that it just might seal the deal on you having to pay up front for that shirt!

I can't post it, but I'll forward it to you.

[oldredracer]

I'd give an old English car for a Mechanic's Fund shirt. That's gotta be worth $60-80......no???

[dalyduo]

Welcome to TJR Paul,

We'd be happy to accept your offer and we can even sweeten the deal to two shirts for your old English car. (We would offer three but we'll need to keep at least one shirt to mop up oil leaks.)

Any update on when the gear will be available for purchase?

I'm hoping to knock your socks off with a very cool new line of TJR stuff at VIR.

But you may just get a very good glimpse of all the new goods on this website tonight, maybe tomorrow.

Stay tuned!

[Moxie]

As Dr. Frank N. Furter said, I quiver with anticipation!

[MJAmok]

So I'll remove the cause... but NOT the symptom.

[sydude]

I posted a sneak peak of the new TJR items in a new thread. Check it out here:

I'm closing out this thread. Please use the other one to discuss the new stuff.
