Hoodie Poll!!!

[NJSPEEDER]

Since the hoodies were such a success last year we were thinking about doing them again. There is just one small change we are considering, the color.
Here is everyone's chance to voice their opinion for one week before we order them.

Which do you want?

Black w/ White Printing Again?

Front http://www.njfboa.org/JustinImages/HoodieFront.jpg

or

Gray w/ Black Printing? The gray we are looking to use will be darker than the T-shirts we put out a while ago.

This is the color we are shooting for with the gray hoodies. Maybe not exact, but pretty close to this:

Same as last year for several reasons...Black on grey will be hard to read, I never got the old hoodie.

How about red on black for a change? I think that'd look pretty sweet.

[Demonicbird00]

well since we already have black hoodies w/ white lettering....

is say go w/ the grey hoodies w/ black lettering

Go with the gray. I dont think the black held up as well as it should have. Maybe it was the quality of the sweatshirt? IDK. I didnt wear mine all the time but its been a year and it looks like its 15 years old. New year.....new color......change is always good ;) Depending on the shade of gray I would debate the print color. If its a dark color gray then you might have issues with seeing the print.....so maybe another color with the font. Light gray....not a fan of...it gets dirty way to easy!! Hopefully I was of some assistance with my opinion 8-)

[Blacdout96]

X2 for red w/ black. it would go well with my car combo. but I say grey w/ black if thats our only two choices

[Jersey_TA]

Gray with black. Everything shows up on black.

[ar0ck]

Black w/ White lettering!

i like the idea, red on a black hoodie

[NJSPEEDER]

with how small the print is in the logo i woudl have to wonder if having a fairly dark color like red on a black hoodie would lose a lot of the detail. balck and red is a cool look, jsut wonder if it will print well

[79CamaroDiva]

red on black would be more expensive to screen print. The logos would have to be printed white, and the red would have to go over the white in order for it to show. Red over black by itself wouldn't show bright enough.

I like the white on black personally.

[bubba428]

white on black will look much better

[keith2717]

what sizes can you get and how much.
Thanks
The Nooby

[NJSPEEDER]

the sizes will be small through XXXL. pricing will have to wait until we actually get them printed. last year they were $35 i believe.

:w00t: I see you kept us "larger" members in mind :lol:

[Tru2Chevy]

:w00t: I see you kept us "larger" members in mind :lol:

We want to make sure that we keep everyone covered :)

Plus the hoodies that we had before ran small. I'm 6'4" / 230ish and I had to get a XXL to fit me.

[bubba428]

thats really gay....

[keith2717]

Im 6'6 , are they going to be long enough.

[bubba428]

Im 6'6 , are they going to be long enough.

yea thats a good question

[NJSPEEDER]

that was the same issue jsutin had last year. just have to order a size up from what you normally wear.

btw, i voted gray w/black print because i woudl like to see something new. we already did the black ones, time for a fresh look

JMO :)

[Tru2Chevy]

Im 6'6 , are they going to be long enough.

That's the reason I had to go with a XXL....it fit me fine around my gut, but the sleeves on the XL were too short.

We might be going with a different (better) brand of hoodies this year, but we'll let you know before we start accepting orders for them.

[procamaroz28]

cant go wrong w/ black + it matches on evrything

What about SILVER on BLACK!

[Untamed]

One club.

One logo.

One color scheme.

You start mixing things and well look all ate up, like some half assed club that can't make up its mind about who they are. We set the black with white letting, stick to it, unless you want to pull out the black hoodies in a few years and tell stories about how when you were a kid inthe early days of NJFBOA....

White lettering, black hoodie.

[jims69camaro]

zippered hoodie FTW! they tend to be longer and i need it because my torso is longer than most. whenever i order a shirt/jacket/coat it's always XLT, the 't' stands for 'tall'. and the 'tall' shirt/jacket/coat almost always has longer arms (sometimes i have to cuff the sleeve). if 'tall' isn't available, then i go with XXL.

as for color, i voted for gray. the shirt i have is gray and the hoodie will match it.

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

Even like fire engine red?

I never thought of the unity/nostalgia aspect of it, so I'd stick to black/white like I said before.

[camaro2you]

I agree maybe stick with the black but a better company, mine also looks likes its been around for ages...lol.

[Rafterman]

Black and white. can't stand grey

[NJSPEEDER]

a darker color is going to show fading more, brand doesn't make much of a difference.

[BonzoHansen]

Blue & white?

Not black, we got black already.

[The Fixer]

I voted gray. The poll is almost tied now, hahahaha!

unless there's been some new ink upgrades since i worked in a print shop, the only way to get it to show on a dark color correctly is to put a white underlay underneath the color. that's not saying you would be able to tell that its there, its just to give the ink a light color to grab on to. the problem then is the printing cost goes up because its double the printing and two different color inks.


IMO dark gray with black will look awful. Not enough contrast to say a 50% gray to black to make it pop out and say "we're njfboa... biotch" plus, when we go to meets and its a little chilly, i think it looks AWESOME that we all have a unity to us with the black hoodies. if you start adding in the different colors it will look like a big jumble. Look around in the corporate and sports world. Companys and teams update logos, but never colors.

[Teds89IROC]

I like the black with white print. I love my hoodie, I wear it as much as possible!

[Blacdout96]

.....I still say black w/ red lol. well if the costs goes up, then get a set order of peopel who would want them black wiht red, adn if it costs more, charge a little more, see who would pay. I would, I want the shirt to match my car, just like my driving shoes and such.

[Demonicbird00]

if some of you are complaining about the fading....... why then arent you voting for the grey hoodies????? i personally dont want 2 black hoodies....if i did i woulda bought both of them at the same time.

go w/ grey......then next year we can get black again.

-brandon

[Savage_Messiah]

I'm wearing my black one right now.... so i say grey. I do like the red and black idea though, of course :)

[//<86TA>\\]

im 6'6" too, going to have to get us tall folk longer shirts

[Tru2Chevy]

im 6'6" too, going to have to get us tall folk longer shirts

We're gonna do everything we can....I'm in the same boat as you guys.

- Justin

[Savage_Messiah]

I'm not

8-)

[V]

i'll buy 2 no matter what color

[Blacdout96]

how about you make the grey ones this year, then you come back wihtthe black ones next year, call them retro NJFBOA hoodies, and sell them at a higher price......what......American eagle and Aeropostale, etc do it, adn everybody is a sucker to buy it. :)

[ar0ck]

Go Black!

[Tru2Chevy]

My only reservation with going with black are that alot of the people who are voting for Black already have a hoodie.

Does your vote mean that you are planning on buying another one, or do you just think that we should keep them all the same?

- Justin

[bubba428]

well if there black I'm gonna buy one...whether black and red or white. If they're grey than hell no

I already have 2 ;) black hoodies......I voted gray and yes my vote is based on planning on buying another.

[ar0ck]

My vote is also based on purchasing another black one. I have no interest in gray, I hate that color fabric to be honest.

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

My vote is on purchasing one, because I don't have one

[zuuhlsT/A]

I voted black cause I don't even have one yet!! Make sure you buy a quality hoody. I've had some pretty crappy ones were the cuffs start tearing in like 6 weeks!!:nod: I'll pay more for a quality product.

[Tru2Chevy]

We are talking to our printer to find out what kind of a deal they can give us on better quality hoodies since we do use them exclusively for our printing needs. We'll let everyone know what we end up with before any ordering begins.

- Justin

[79CamaroDiva]

why dont you look into ordering the hoodies yourself and bringing them to the printer? you might be able to find a better deal than they're willing to give you.

[Demonicbird00]

if theyre black, then im not gonna buy one. yes my vote is based on buying a grey one.

[camaroracer1992]

ill buy one whatever it is, i missed out last year :(

[JerzLT1]

id rather have Grey

[NJSPEEDER]

thanks for all of the responses gang. we have a few options to weigh and we will let everyone know.
we hope to have these for the january meet, so stay tuned :)
