Hamer T-Shirts

[rockfish]

Once upon a time, what seems many years ago, a member here at the HFC had some T-shirts made.

I would certainly love to see that opportunity come up again.

Also...what's up with Hamer and why don't they have any shirts available ???

+1 on the shirts. BLACK, long sleeved, XXL with original headstocks back and club front. I have about 7 or 8 but they are getting pretty beat. The Cafe Press stuff is all pale colors. I only wear black (yes, I am a pig, but I always wore black even when I was a skinny kid).

Sign me up for five (5) shirts.

Café Press has more girly shirts:

I sent a message to the 'Ovationwear' site on July 5th, which was roughly the last time this subject came up here. They never contacted me back.

That being said, I think Zazzle does private designs, but I don't know what the process or cost of having a design done and made is. There's also the potential for copyright issues.

Zazzle shirts are about $25 for long sleeve black XXL. Their printing looked good at first, but cracked up pretty fast. I did some for the old studio.

Nope.

The shirt I'd like is the one our very own KB is so studly modeling:

That;s the one I want!

[hamertek98]

I bought one of the ones KB is wearing, but mine had a small chest logo and large on the back.

I liked the checkerboard-logo HFC shirts from a few years back. I have a navy blue one. Still wear it weekly.

I'm in.

I got one of those from a Hamer dealer that showed up at the HFC jam in Belgium when I was there a few years back. I've never seen them offered anywhere in the US.

Always happy to oblige folks;

It's not totally identical (it doesn't have the oval around it like my old one, they musta changed design at some point) - but it's black, good quality (mine's probably 5 yrs old now) and you get free shipping to the US. These guys are 100% FB sellers and come recommended. Go for it!!

Edited to add - here's the link to the USA ebay site; http://cgi.ebay.com/HAMER-GUITARS-new-blac...=item27ad1bea9a

The back had the heastocks logo as seen on the "mini poster:

The front had the hamerfanclub.com logo on the left chest, like this:

Cafe Press does NOT offer this print option in the classic BLACK, long sleeved, XXL

Again I am up for five.

With the current state of the US economy... A shitload.

The Estonia T-shirts are cool but the logo is not centered, I have one and it's a little irritating.

Any HFC members located outside of the U.S. can get these shirts made, but no company on U.S. soil will touch the Hamer Guitars design.

I have logos ready to go if anyone outside the U.S. can get a bulk order done so that we can get some killer shirts made. I no likey Cafe Press...

Canada is far enough.

Good! It'll go with my fretboard inlays that are slightly off-center.

Got in!

Ordered this morning and it already shipped! Will let y'all know what it's like when it arrives....

Actually, I did the artwork for all the old HFC Tees, including the "checkerboard" logo. I did about 6-7 runs of those, and they have held up incredibly well.

I personally am not a Cafe Press fan, but that's what's there now.

It's better than nothing I think. And a great job too.

I made my order of a coffee mug, stein, and 2 tees. 350 is a must have.

It would have been nice to have more colors to choose from for some of the tees.

[rockfish]

I really loved the old design with the headstocks on the back and the Standard on the left chest.

That was a great design !

If someone were interested in resurrecting that design, I would definitely be in for more than a couple shirts.

I know a guy who has a company that prints tour T-shirts for bands, and other merch stuff. I might get a deal there if we would to do a bulk order.

However, Hamer/Fender might not be so happy if we use their logo without permission? Perhaps they are okay with it if we would pay a few bucks extra that goes to the HFC maintenance fund?

I think that we would have to make sure that the HFC isn't involved at all and if we want to so this, we probably would have to do it via email. Fender will be irritated if they find out and could come down on the HFC if they are douchey enough. But I say f**k em and let's do it.

You could even sell em' on eBay and do all of the sales beyond the initial advance orders through there. Scandinavia's copyright infringement laws are probably more strict than Estonia's though and the Swedish eBay might send you a cease and desist email.

What kind of a bulk order do we need to put in? We've gotta have good high quality T-shirts like Gildan ultra cotton, Hanes ComfortCrew or something like that. If the shirts end up being $30 but are bad ass, that'd be cool too.
