This could be the earliest mention I've heard of for shirts...I want my special 10th anniversary one too

[BDKrivit]

It's just that I need new t shirts, and so I thought of BTB. My 5th & 6th bash shirts are gone. I was under the impression this was the 8th BTB coming up; what's your 10th anniversary limited edition for?

I like to prepare a couple of years ahead for the future

Rumor has it that Mrs. Jeff ***just*** finished baking cookies for the 11th annual BTigerB.

"All natural and with no preservatives". I don't know how she does it!

now don't you worry fellas...they are going to be mighty freshly baked cookies...I just got done with a couple of my sour cream/jam favorites...I think she still has that baking touch...

We will all be the beneficiaries

I think someone remembers my shirt from last year...I was celebrating the 11th anniversary then...Must have been a mixup in my mind...

The B TIGER B lives large

Lots to do.....

anyone have any ideas for shirt design? I can get them printed but I need a design. My creative juices aren't coming up with anything. We can't use anything copyrighted.

Once we come up with a design I'll post for review & set up a pre-order like before. I will not be peddling shirts at the event.

Hey Alan...how about a green shirt...white outline of the state of Vermont (Vermont colors) ..put a dot in the bottom corner for Bennington location....Use words Bennington Triumph Bash 2015 and British Union Jack....

Or same outline of Vermont on green shirt...little word Bennington....really big TIGER....small word for Bash

Submitted for your approval, same graphics in both images, just showing one on a black t shirt and again on a t shirt of color. My awesome wife is a graphic artist:




A different type on this:

Nice work -- just a couple of suggestions.
- Use the BTB logo instead of the Triumph one, as we're not a corporate-sanctioned event so there could be potential trademark issues (and even if we did use the logo, the classic Meriden one isn't very relevant to our event since we're mostly about Hinckley Triumphs).
- T-shirts are silkscreened, so the artwork needs to be simplified to one or two colors, maybe three or four depending on what Alan has worked out with the printer. As it is now, the version on the black background uses six colors (assuming the black is the t-shirt color); the obvious solution would be to remove the blue and grey from the Tiger/rider and reduce that image to a high-contrast one made up of white ink and black negative space; and also remove the Union Jack, unless the printer can do four colors without charging too much.

Definitely a nice design -- tell your wife thanks!

thanks for the art direction; we'll revise this afternoon to the BTB box logo above the rider and go 2-color (black and green ?) all over.
