[QUOTE=NinerATL2CHA;179660]Instead of āBring football to Charlotte,ā can we please use āBring college football to Charlotte?ā ā¦ as in the town?
That way not only does it show support for our university, but it makes the issue bigger than just a school-specific one. It makes it more of a [I][B]community issue[/B][/I] and concern. We definitely need to broaden this movement and make it a larger issue for all of the citizens who live around here and can benefit from being able to actually see a real college football game without having to leave town. More people would relate to it and share concern, if it were for the city not just the universityā¦ just my opinion.[/QUOTE]
BINGO! Excellent Point.
Getting the city/metro area interested in 49er sports has been the basis for quite a few of my posts on this board.
[QUOTE=Savio;179680]Can we get the shirts in silk for the pimps and playas?[/QUOTE]
Iām just picturing how incredibly horrible this shirt would look. :wow:
It was my fraternity that sold the shirts. We couldnāt use any logos without paying for the rights. We had them printed for around $2 each, and they still sell them every year at $10 each to raise money for Muscular Dystrophy. The most recent version has a back with a photo of a āghost teamā with the caption that says āUndefeated since 1947ā

That sounds greatā¦ Thanks for keeping the good fight.
By the way, did your fraternity ever try selling them at basketball games?

If I remember correctly, they wouldnāt let us. I am pretty sure we tried, though. We sold out the first morning we had them, and had to order more. Some people didnāt appreciate it, most of them were athletes with the āsupport our sports firstā argument, which was kind of irritating because we already did. The general feedback from the students was awesome, and everybody wanted it. It even came up in the SGA elections that year, so there is talk of it amongst students. It just takes a ton of effort to energize them into doing something. Most are apathetic.
You would need to talk to the people in the Ath Department before you set anything up, and I can almost guarantee they would say no to anything that is in the building during games. You need permission from facilities management to put up a table on campus, and student orgs can only do it twice a semester to raise money, and they have to be in specific areas. When school starts up again, I can help out with thisā¦ The AD really doesnāt like the idea, it seems like.
ok here are some ideas i had. i just threw them together. not sure what yaāll are looking for. sorry about the sizeā¦
oh and i saw the thing about ābring COLLEGE football to charlotte.ā i made these last night but we can add the word ācollegeā if you like these designs. C49er said not to make it like a nascar shirt. I thought this looked pretty nice. something everyone could wear.
and for Over40ā¦
The AD really doesn't like the idea, it seems like.
Surpriseā¦
Thanks for offering all of your help. I have PMād the main organizers with your name, the details of your post, and where to find it.
Iām sure they will see your posts anyway.
It has been mentioned a few times that greeks should definitely be involved, and I definitely agree. This would be great if we could bring this together.

Concerning selling on campusā¦yes, thatās going to be tough to do legit. Itās all because of the compete rules set up for the bookstore (Barnes and Noble). I think weāll be fine with all other obstacles - logos, athletic department, etc.
I like the one that says bring football to charlotte, with the helmetā¦but wouldnāt that classify as using the logo, and therefore weād have to pay for the use? butā¦if we didā¦those helmets would convince a lot of people that itās not just some jokeā¦they would look a lot more ā¦not cheap. i wouldnt put please donate on themā¦sounds desperate. just say bring football to charlotteā¦something like thatā¦and give the link to the website.

Agree with the ādonateā part. I agree with all of it actually.

Well, then why not sell them at the Flying Saucer on busy nights? Or, Picassoās when there are away games to watch? OāCharleyās before, during, after the coachās show? (well, maybe that would be pushing it) But, the owners of those establishments probably wouldnāt care.
I designed the one I did, the way I did, so as to not use the school logo. Also, I highly doubt anyone has a vector based, or bitmap based version of the helmet that is high enough quality that could be made into a T-Shirt without looking like butt.
If someone has a high quality version, and wants to pay for the rights to use the logo, I say go for it. But permission still has to be granted, and seeing as how the school is none too keen on pushing football, Im going to have to say they would be none too helpful in logo usage for pro-football tshirts.
Just my 2 cents, which is why I designed what I did, how I did.

Central, youāre probably very right. Itās probably safer and less hassle to avoid the logos.
