Putting out some feelers......

by Addicted to Quack on Sep 14, 2008 12:56 PM PDT Comment 33 comments

Our community is beyond awesome. Having talked about some ideas with a few folks, I want to put some feelers aroud out there to see if there are some things we'd be interested in. Feel free to add your own ideas if you have some:

1. T-Shirts. I've gotten a few requests over email the last few months for some ATQ tee shirts. If there is legitimate interest in this, I can look into having some printed up, or maybe doing some kind of online shop or something.

2. A group event. The other blogs on this network that I'm a member of, Blazers Edge and Lookout Landing, do a group meetup event at least once a year. This takes place at a game, though, sometimes, there is something before/after (LL usually plays football or softball). Football games are obviously out for this idea, as the season sells out well in advance, but we could look at getting some group tickets for Pape Jam in Portland, or one of the basketball games over Christmas Break (Portland or LBSU).

Let me know if there is any interest in these, or if anyone has any other ideas. If there is sufficient interest, we can start poking around to make things happen.

GO DUCKS!!!

I can probably make somethin’!

My brother is a cartoonist, and I can maybe try to pull his arm into making a neat t-shirt design/logo.

Go Duckies!

OT, but is the new ATQ tagline brand spankin'?

I just noticed it. Funny because it’s true.

Yeah

that’s why I mentioned playing football/basketball maybe before or after a game.

Does anyone know of any online tailoring programs or anything?

For designing shirts, uniforms, etc.? I’m on a mac so I can’t use any of the PC programs of course.

I’ve long wanted something like it.

T-shirts

T-shirts would be cool, particularly as a form of advertisement for the blog and community. Are you thinking more along the lines of of blog-related apparel or coming with more general, Oregon-related apparel? I am assuming with the latter we’d have to be careful about copyright issues.

Blog related would only make sense...

It’s both advertisement and like wearing flair.

Shirts would be cool

Sounds great maybe we could have as many addicted to quack hats, t-shirts and shorts combinations as the Oregon football team has.

That would be awesome...

…then we could match them on gameday

T-shirts for sure

I would also be into a trip to PDX for Pape Jam (Saturday, Dec. 13, versus San Diego)

I like the shirt idea we should have a duck with a quack pipe on them

Ehhhhh

It might be most appropriate to keep the visualization of crack cocaine or drug references out…

definitely no visual drug references

that’s crossing the line

2 Things

1. Luckily, I live in NY, so if you guys play basketball, you will not be embarassed by me schooling you.

2. I would love a tshirt. Also, if there are any misprints, and ‘addicted to crack’ comes on a tshirt, I know a couple guys out here that would appreciate that.

PS. Actually i’ll be around Eugene during Christmas time so if something is planned during that time, I’ll be around.

Shirt w/picture of Autzen and "HOUSE OF LOUD"

It’s such a good idea, I’m surprised nobody has thought of it before.

Couldn’t more strongly throw my support behind the best custom T website out there…Check out www.zazzle.com They’re maybe a dollar or two more than the competition, but (you didn’t hear this from me) they’re pretty lax on the whole trademark stuff. I’m an SF Giants fan and I know of more than a few people that have used the likeness of the logo on several shirts and haven’t caught any grief at all.

I'm not interested in trademark infringement

Shirts are great

I love the shirts idea. I also like the get together option too but with kids and people all over the country, I bet it would be fairly challenging to bring it all together. Would be a fun spring thing though…perhaps a BBQ in honor of baseball?
