Working on a 100 year wendover speedway museum t-shirt!
« on: January 06, 2014, 04:49:26 PM »
Hey everyone, We are starting the work on this years museum shirts for the
Bonneville 100 years, S & S cycle Inc. has been in touch and are helping us with the design, also have touched bases with Ron main, speed demon, and So-cal speed shops. But since we are in the early design stages I would like to know from all of you land speed racers what would be some of the cars and bikes from the past and the present would you like to see on the shirts. Remember that every penny made off of these shirts will go to the creation of the Museum! Also some ideas on what kind of event you would like to see on the site for the 100 years of racing at bonneville!
Thanks,
Mike Crawford
Wendover Mayor
p.s. I did win the election and will be mayor for four more years.

Congratulations, Mike.

I'm probably in the minority but I think a design featuring a single car has more impact than putting a jumble of different cars & bikes on the shirt. Maybe there could be a shirt for the major classes-- streamliner, roadster, lakester, bikes, etc. ... a series would promote buying more than one.  :-D

Neil and I are in the minority of 2 and counting.

The "brand" must be the museum - get that established early and never walk away from it.  Find a logo that works and everything else must be subservient to that.

It's like they say at Disney - "Don't mess with the Mouse".

THEN - the Pierson Coup - the SoCal tank - Bluebird - the Blue Flame - Goldenrod - each to their own shirt, with the established museum logo.

Like Hot Wheels.

And don't go crazy on the quantities - limited production runs have a value, too.

Make it 3...
Of course I would have the
Pierson Coupe
SoCal tank
Kenz & Leslie 777
Spirit of America
Goldenrod
Sadd, Teague & Bentley Roadster

You know you could do a hundred lists and not get near covering the history, but I think the series is a great idea... bring out 4-6 shirts a year,  LSR collector series... maybe sign up for a museum membership that gets you a shirt a quarter for $200 per year.. then maybe ....
I could throw out ideas that you could throw out all day  :-D

It's 4 here.

Tired of jumbled messes.

Hey -- Ab Jenkins probably did more than the SCTA to start.

Anything Teague is a winner.

Couldn't agree more! Limit the colors too, simple memorable designs and fonts, wear 'em wherever, when ever.

Any powerful shirt has to be black.

The design has to be strong on black.

Like an aerodynamic Triumph rider.

"Any powerful shirt has to be black" sez Freud.  I hope that's a personal comment, not something that's tried and true.  I seldom wear a black t-shirt, which might mean I'm not interested in being "powerful" - or something else.  A light grey, maybe, but white is the base color for this guy. :cheers:

Not sure your ride would look good on a black shirt Freud... would have to use a lot of white ink to get the cheeks right....

For bikes I would have
Easy Rider w Dave Campos
Roland Free
Marty Dickerson
Manning Triumph
you could go on and on for those as well

Sign me up for shirt of the quarter...

Black shirts?  Really?  At 100 deg.+ and white salt Bonneville.  Does it come with sauce and a basting brush?  Or is it in case you get lost on the salt you'll be easier to find?

Black, WTF!! :roll:
What ever you end up putting on it Mike, an early style of print would likely stand out mor that the modern multy colored graphic stuff that we have evolved into.
