New Alabama MINI T-shirts: Reserve your Parking Space Now!

I have been working with COOPERation to design a shirt for us using his fantastic Cars Movie characters.

The shirt will be printed on a top-quality medium-grey colored Hanes Beefy-T. The plan at the moment is to have 9 local MINI's represented. Because of the limitations of the printing process, we can have up to 6 different colored MINI's on the shirt (plus, Dark Silver, Black, and White).

If you would like to reserve your MINI's "parking space" on the shirt, I would like for you to commit to purchasing two shirts if at all possible, as we must order a minimum of 24 shirts for this to become a reality. For a t-shirt, this one will be a bit on the expensive side because we are using a top-quality shirt and will be printing with many different colors to make this shirt truly outstanding.

This is first come, first served, until the 9 parking spaces fill up or the available color limit is exhausted. It is ok to have more than one MINI with the same color, as I know we will have at least couple Chili Reds and a couple Liquid Yellows.

The current list of MINI colors so far is: Chili Red, British Racing Green, Liquid Yellow, and Purple Haze.

I would also like to hear suggestions for a front breast logo/insignia and a fun catchy phrase for the back of the shirt.

Please make your reservations here in this thread and provide a photo or detailed description of your MINI if you do not already have a Cars character so that your MINI can be created and placed on the shirt.

The front of the shirt will have a breast insignia to be determined. Here is a preliminary design for the back of the shirt:


Back


Current reserved parking spaces:

1) Yucca Patrol....................... British Racing Green
2) Purple People Eater ..............Purple Haze
3) golfman .............................Chili Red
4) jst4fn ................................Liquid Yellow
5) SB ....................................British Racing Black
6) bamatt ..............................Chili Red
7) roach ................................Cool Blue
8) sjolley................................BRG (UJ Roof)
9) BamaCooperS......................Chili Red

Love the new look, roach! Checkboard madness!

Do you want your racing meatball on the door?

Oooh...very nice shirt design!! What about a catch-phrase that plays on the signs all over Alabama that say "Keep Alabama the Beautiful?"

I'm sure you can come up with something clever!

I'm not a member, so my car shouldn't be on the shirt, but if the price is reasonable, I'll buy one for sure. They'll come in XXL or XXXL, right?

I saw that, but thought you meant something different for the small area over the breast on the front! I love "Let's Motor, Y'all," of course!

I'll take a couple

Put me down for Chili Red / Black if possible, in XXL. I already have the MINI cars logo. Thanks for doing this.

Put me down for two shirts.

British Racing Black. I like that. I've updated my signature with it.

If possible. Could I get green eyes in the style of PPE's on my windshield?

SB,. Green eyes should not be a problem. They will probably be BRG due to printing requirements, but I think that is what you are after.

Hmmm I might want in on this Andrew - as we might be moving that direction. If not on the shirt then for sure I'll take a few when you get down to ordering. Let me know!

Am I a member of BAMA? I went to the first meeting... I may want to order one for me and one for sndwave. Are we supposed to pick the color of the shirt or add our MINI's or what?

Sorry...jet-lagged and rather dense today...

It's the color of your cartoon car.

You're a member of everything Alabama, MINIclo. sndwave too. So when we get in trouble here on NAM we can use your name. sndwave usually gets us in deeper. J/K, sndwave rocks.

Here is the latest work in progress. Not everyone is on the list is on the design at this moment, but the design is coming together. We may be able to lose one row of text to include more MINI's. . .

Yucca, just my opinion, but I don't think you should lose text to add a few more cars. What you have is a nice, representative sample.
And if you change the wheels and the mirror caps, the LY in the top corner looks kinda like my car.

You have a good point. I know I cannot please everyone (although I so sincerely wish I could), and a good design can be ruined with too much extra stuff. COOPERation spent half the day trying to get me to understand this, bless his heart. . .

And of course, who is to say that we cannot make another shirt down the road to include those that don't make it on this one. . .

I'm in for one, maybe two or more depending on sizes. Keep us posted.

BTW, how do I get the cartoon car?

Cool shirt! Are you taking orders from out of state (or out of country?)
