Brainstorming ideas for DCMM swag

I am going to open this up to the club to ask everyone to start a brainstorming session to get some good ideas for future clings/grille badges tee-shirts, etc.

I know you all have some good creative minds and am anxiously awaiting to hear what you can come up with.

Can we get artwork for the logo in a vector format to use in our designs?

We are just looking for creative minds for some cool designs. I am just asking for some more minds than mine to think of some interesting and different designs.
My brain is fried and would like to see what someone else comes up with. It doesn't mean that it will be produced, and it doesn't have to be drawn up, we do have some graphic designers who have offered their skills.
I'm just trying to think of something else to offer!

How about Unconstructed, low profile baseball hats that have the DCMM logo on the front, "DC Metro MINIs" on the back, and your NAM name on the left side of the hat?

I really like that idea.

I would love to try putting together some designs for consideration by the club.

Why doesn't the "Board" want to allow "Members" to use the logo to design with?

Excellent idea! I'd buy one or more if they were available in colors!

Not to sure on the colors or the min. for each color. I guess it will depend on the #'s. I will look into that though.

tank tops for the summer, and long sleeve shirts for winter. The same guage fabric as our T's for both.
Although I look horrible in hats, I think the baseball cap idea is a good one.
I've always wanted a rubber stamp with the DCMM logo.

How about an embroidered polo shirt with DCMM in large italicized letters, with D.C. Metro MINIs centered underneath? Embroidering the entire logo would be costly and probably ruin the lay of the shirt (especially after washing it), but something classy and subtle......

Well now that we're gonna have grille badges for the front, how 'bout license plate frames for the back? Or to go one step further, organization license plates with the DCMM. I know that they're available in MD, do VA and DC also offer them?

I personally looked into that about a 18 months ago. The problem with the tags is that we need a certain amount depending on the state. Since we are technically a 3 state club, it is very difficult to get the numbers. It would be alot easier if we were all located in one state.

This came up at Union Jacks after folks saw Mike's polo - I would love to see the club offer (when minimum orders can be met) customized embroidered polos again. I never got one and I should have. We can have them made with YOUR MINI (some small details excluded). And the club name.
