Possible VooDoo T-Shirts?

KRUSTYburger · Post by **KRUSTYburger** » Tue May 05, 2009 2:21 am

So, a couple members (mostly babblefish

) were asking about a Voodoo Buddy shirt, so I figured I'd see how many
people would actually buy one. Obviously the more I order, the cheaper they will be each, so let's try to get an accurate
count please. I am trying to find a better deal locally, so I need a rough estimate of how many of each size I should order.

First, you can answer the poll, then be sure to make a post including how many you want and what size(s).

The shirt will look *something* like this (a tentative design that can be changed, also shirt may or may not be white).
I'll probably do something slightly different with the letters if it's on a white shirt so it stands out better...

Ok! Edited to add the simplified black version!

I'm open to suggestions, Thanks for your time!

Krusty, thats amazing. I'd totally buy several in a heartbeat! Gotta show my voodoo pride!

Post by **Lostmycage** » Tue May 05, 2009 2:27 am

I'll take two. That's <a href="topic10747.html#137453">AWESOME</a>!! XLarge please, I like to leave room for cake... and my Trogdor arms

OK, so more the cake....

AWESOME!!!

DOH!

That will have to be fixed. As in all Blur owners need to flip your engines over.

But seriously, what does a Blur exhaust even look like?

Awesome Krusty. I'm in for 2 – even though my scooter is non-voodoo

*cough cough* black *cough cough*

Of you guys were rrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeallllllllly concerened about the exhausts being on the appropriate side of the bike, the buddy and blur need to switch places.

KRUSTYburger · Post by **KRUSTYburger** » Tue May 05, 2009 3:12 am

The buddy's exhaust is on the right side... kinda hard to tell though.

Black was the original idea for shirt color. Unless you were hinting that the Buddy should be black.

jbougere · Post by **jbougere** » Tue May 05, 2009 3:27 am

For the voodoo, I feel that black is absolutely required...

I'm still just a zygote of a voodooist (voo.... voodist?) but want to learn more!! Still, as you should with any black magic, I feel hesitant to do anything without proper supervision.

So, in the meantime, sign me up for a large.

OK, so I might have mentioned it once or twice...

I want 2 mediums please!

How about making the speedometer read something like 90mph? Just wishful thinking...

Heh, I was thinking that as well

After all, we're a whole lot closer to 90 than 60

I see a large (9" wide by 5" tall) Patch in my head all of a sudden.

And I think black is the proper choice for the background

I've got Voodoo blood flowing through my veins. Sign me up for 2 extra large shirts please.

BeachBuzz · Post by **BeachBuzz** » Tue May 05, 2009 12:11 pm

we're in for 2 - large & medium please

Krusty - I sent you a pm with a couple scooterist/printers I know from this area that might be able to help.

No, everyone knows Voodoo Buddies are Tangerine

I'd like 2; 1 X-large and 1 large. I'd prefer black T's. I tend not to rock white T's, although I do have an awesome Marley T which is white so who knows.

Tangerine T Shirts - too many group/club/scooter/biker t shirts are black. I have too many (hot) black t shirts already. tangerine would be more hi-vis (and look great on the (original) Vintage Blur)

chloefpuff · Post by **chloefpuff** » Tue May 05, 2009 2:03 pm

Altho I'm totally stock, gotta have one. XL please. And I agree with Babblefish, the speedo is way too low.

Alix B · Post by **Alix B** » Tue May 05, 2009 2:48 pm

I guess a small and most def in the black.

Awesome.

Post by **illnoise** » Tue May 05, 2009 3:32 pm

I'd take a dozen or so for Scootmoto if the wholesale price was right.

In my humble but professional (I'm an art director, like 80% of scooterists) opinion, I'd lose (or lighten or scale back or simplify) the text and speedo and make the riders/scooters more prominent. The symmetry and clutter distract from the two awesome illustrations. In fact, I think you've got two great shirts there if you split 'em up.

Bu they're your shirts of course, and I dig 'em a lot just how they are.

Post by **illnoise** » Tue May 05, 2009 3:34 pm

Also, yay Blur! The Blur market is small but desperate for Blur-related crap to buy! : )

Post by **Lostmycage** » Tue May 05, 2009 3:38 pm

The speedo should be 88 for all kinds of silly Back to the Future references :p

Well, I wanted 2 different shirts too, but then the order quantities for each would have to lower and I'd have to pay for twice as many screens. The original one I did on a black shirt, with a less prominent speedo (that read something like 120mph). The illustrations were smaller too, it was more like the "Voodoo Buddy" site logo where the 2 buddies are facing away from eachother. It will most likely be on a black shirt and the design can always be tweaked (or totally changed) depending on what looks best. I'm really just trying to get a count to see how many we'll need.

Hillhopper · Post by **Hillhopper** » Tue May 05, 2009 4:16 pm

I LOVE the voodoo avatars! I'd like one, but I'm not done with my pink Buddy, yet. So until then, I'll have to make do with 2 shirts in XL. And I agree that black would be the preferred color. After all, it's voodoo..........

Hillhopper · Post by **Hillhopper** » Tue May 05, 2009 4:20 pm

I just saw the idea about a tangerine shirt, and yes, that would be great! Hi-vis! I think the speedo should be higher, too, I like the Back to the Future 88 mph idea. But it's your design, so go with what you feel!

Frankenscoot · Post by **Frankenscoot** » Tue May 05, 2009 5:13 pm

I'll take one. Size small. Where do I send my first unborn?

I would purchase a large...

babblefish · Post by **babblefish** » Tue May 05, 2009 6:53 pm

I some how got excluded from the picture......sniff....sniff....I'll still buy a couple though. Mine was tangerine before I painted it.

Count me in for a large in whatever color you end up using!

Sorry dj, I was gonna do one with the 2 buddies back-to-back, but decided it would be good to include Blurs. So I just picked the orange one to match the orange rims on the Blur. I did put the whitewalls on it tho if that makes you feel any better.

Nice Krusty. Diggin that. I have to say though, I am partial to the original font. It's got that kind of old school New Orleans French Quarter voodoo look to it... I like that

jijifer · Post by **jijifer** » Wed May 06, 2009 12:36 am

I'd love one. I prefer white since it gets so dang hot in So Cal, I never wear black on my back. I'd need an xl.

For what it's worth, I prefer the black design....and I will take 1, if I can afford it (yep, that broke

one for me, size med. white or black - either would be cool.

Post by **Lostmycage** » Wed May 06, 2009 1:30 am

The new Black one is HAWT!

I was going to snap a pic of the Blur today, but the weather's been complete crap lately... rain for a week (and it's that nasty superfine mist downpour that you just can't keep off your visor). The only major note on the Blur is that I don't think anyone uses the bottom part of the rear mudflap.

Ditto on the font. The circus/ creole font really added something, I think.

... but everyone's a critic. I say make 'em like you like 'em for two (among many other) reasons:

1) you win at art.

2) we'll be so pumped to wear voodoo buddy shirts, no one will have complaints!

Krusty: I love your revised version! It would look most excellent on a black t-shirt! The only change I'd like to see is to have the speedometer needle stand out a bit more, maybe change it's color to orange? Any way you want to do it is fine by me and I'll still buy two of whatever you come up with.

Skootz Kabootz · Post by **Skootz Kabootz** » Wed May 06, 2009 7:56 am

Just to clarify, I love the design on black. No question. But that funky font from the first version is really speakin to me...

we've had the same weather pattern here for 8 days so far and the forcast isnt getting better until Sunday

I do I do

KRUSTYburger · Post by **KRUSTYburger** » Wed May 06, 2009 3:54 pm

haha, the mud flap looks funky cuz I started drawing it and then I saw an actual photo and
I was like wo, that mud flap is really long! I think it will look better in the drawing without it.
I mean look at the Buddy mudflap, it's crazy small! The thing is I know what a Buddy looks
like, so I can just draw it without having to copy a photo... the Blur I've never seen IRL.

The problem with the font is that the bigger the images are, the smaller the text has to be,
with such an ornate typeface it might not translate well at such a small size. I'll see if I can do
another one with the carnival-looking font for "voodoo" and something a bit simpler for "team".

babblefish · Post by **babblefish** » Wed May 06, 2009 7:04 pm

Thanks for all your hard work Krusty!

Just keep one thing in mind - you're the artist - what's most important is that it looks good to you and that you're happy with it. Asking a dozen people for their opinion will just get you a dozen different answers.

I'll be happy with whatever you come up with.

I'm up for a large. I prefer black shirts, for what it's worth...but I'll take what I can get.

I thought about skipping since Puca's bone stock, but then I remembered the SPAZ patch I almost missed. Yeah, put me down for 1 minimum.

I'd buy one or two depending on the final shirt color(s). I would take them in large unless the shirt brand you use shrinks alot, then I'd take XL.
