Following on from discussion in this now-locked thread:

I've been having fun working on some tee designs.
THESE ARE NOT FINAL TEES - I'll continue to work on whichever is chosen.
Normally, with these things I'd just submit one design as voting/discussion/faffing doesn't really work. But for some reason I'm looking forward to the fight.
Also, I struggled to work out whether people were wanting a cool tee, or a joke tee, etc, etc.
Anyway - discuss!
Design #1 (I thought the Golfie reference was a nice nod to Northwind)

--
--
Design #2 (Perhaps it needs to extremely long.low/slack)

--
--
Design #3 (There were a couple of suggestions for something like this in the original thread)

Design #4

Incoming mail from Mark in 3...2... 😀
<whilstles>
I quite like 4, I'm dubious about delivery though.
Number 3 is brilliant.
Income mail from Mark
As in he wants a cut?
I like design 4
Realised you couldn't really see the Ill Wind logo, so here it is bigger.
Sadly no room for rainbows and unicorns:

As in he wants a cut?
As in having his logo nicked.
I want a Flashy tribute T-shirt that says
”This T- Shirt? Why....yes! Yes , it is!”
or
“Downhill? In these shoes?”
I must admit I'm not really comfortable with the Sick bashing, but Loving #3 🙂
I got it.
4 but with just the gnarpoon text running horizontal accross the chest and I’d definitely give it loads of likes and shares and say I’d buy one on insta but not actually buy one.
I can't help wanting "Hoon your Gnarpoon" on the back
And will these be made in soUth ameriKa?
3 wins it for me
I'm liking that logo, really works with the brand name
I LOLd at number 3. I'll take 2!
edit. The brakes levers should be flat, and perhaps show the angles of the HT and ST.
edit edit
Can they be on 'tech' tees so they actually be worn cycling, and i really like raglan styleeee.
fantasticoooo! I mean SICK!
Two for me please.
As in having his logo nicked.
Nah, that would be incoming
I want one!!!! 2, 3, and 4 are my faves.
3 and 4 for me.
I want a Flashy tribute T-shirt that says
T-shirt? Surely you mean a rugby shirt with the collar up?
That Ill Wind logo is great!
T-shirt? Surely you mean a
rugby shirtsports jacket with the collar up?
FTFY 😉
Maybe design 2 should not merely be long/low/slack but longer/lower/slacker
I like 2. Although I'd say it could do with being a little slacker! The sketch effect is great.
Design 2 is my preference.... keeping it simple 👍
PMSL at this!
3 is epic!
2 & 3 get my vote

Promise to wear it when doing This Time STW news?
No. 3
I want a 3 please 🙂
I’ll take a 3
#3 in a limited edition of 1 (for Northwind, and for free)
the rest are cringeworthy
Nah, that would be incoming
Ah, sorry, I see what you did now 🙂
4 is absolutely class. Will buy even if it never turns up
3
how much?
geex
the rest are cringeworthy
I see your charm spreads to all corners of the forum.
But yes, I think number 3 works well because it can't be confused for being a geniune try-hard brand. The way I saw the others is that you wouldn't wear them unless you were among people in-the-know.
Number 4 & this
I can’t help wanting “Hoon your Gnarpoon” on the back
I also like 2, but make the long, slow & slack extreme
Would buy one/both!
4 is my fave, but i like the idea of no 2 but really over the top LLS (twice the current frame length etc)

T-shirt? Surely you mean a velvet dinner jacket with the collar up?
FTFY 😉
FTFY.
I'd quite like a 3 please.
I'd buy #2 if it was just a pic of the bike...
2 & 3 for me, great little logo as well 🙂

Can the bunny be angrier?
Ace. #3, closely followed by #4.
You know with all these potential t-shirt sales you could start a bike company Alex
#4 is quality.
I'll swap you a PS3 for one.
#3 is epic! Liking #2 but bike needs moooaaaaarr slackerer, longerer & lowerer!
Liking #2 but bike needs moooaaaaarr slackerer, longerer & lowerer!

LOL at number 3: teh awesomz.
But could it have longer brake hoses, please? And maybe mismatched wheel sizes?
But I would take one anyway, as it is.
#3 Should have the Longer / Lower/ Slower in a nod to delivery times somewhere
Or so protactor angles added to #3 like a tech drawing
Be nice to get a speech bubble with 'sic ride dude ' but I fear litigation
‘sic ride dude ‘
"you're going to totally send the sizzle out of insta with that"
I'm trying to stealthily lurk on this while at work, but when I saw number 3 I did a 'guffaw' I think it's called.
Instant classic.
#2 and #3 for me please
3 is the magic number for a reason. Put me down for a medium Ti version. That way it’s absolutely guaranteed to never show up 👍🏼
Genuinely laughed at 3 and 4 either is great as far as I'm concerned!
And the logo.... Genius!
Surprised someone hasn't posted this on the PB thread. Ahem.
Option 3 for me too, superb! (make sure you make at least 2 in XXL for tall fat blokes please!)
#3 in XL, black.
PLEASE!!!
3 is great
All you need to do now is offer some bikes, offer to fight people and be an absolute **** to anyone that questions any element of your business, even if the question is a valid one about welds.
BINGO! You have a viable bike brand.
Are these t shirts fully representative of the UK scene, brah?
I did think a classic, "I wanted a Gnarpoon but all I got was this lousy T Shirt!!" one would work well.
#3
But could you add
"Designed on Drac's iPad" on the bottom of mine, please?
Yeah #3 I think.
XL please:)
I’d take a #2.
I think I would get fed up explaining "there's this website, where some bloke I've never met once out a bike together backwards, then two years later this bike company sold more t-shirts than bikes..."
So No.2 for me.
#3 please. Ta.
Is this really going to happen op?👍
One on a normal cotton T and one on a biking top would be great.
XL for me too I would think!
2 and 4 please in fat, slow, old, northern monkey XL.
Ha. Rox T-shirt’s reimagined for 2019
#2 and #4 in XL please. PayPal gift?
I'll take a couple of #3 in L - print those puppies up!
3 gives me the LOLs
I think I would get fed up explaining “there’s this website, where some bloke I’ve never met once out a bike together backwards, then two years later this bike company sold more t-shirts than bikes…”
That's the beauty of #3 for me. Yes, it's a bit of an in-joke, but it also just works as a quirky design. At Christmas I got a Howies t-shirt with a whale being carried in some kind of sling by a load of bikes. I have no idea what it means, nor does aybody I know, but I still like it.
2 or 3 for me.
Payment up front for number 3 on a tech T OP?
Haha, by the time Alex has worked out all the size, colour, tech tee, design etc requests he is going to have a better understanding of what tipped Sick over the edge of insanity😂
”This T- Shirt? Why….yes! Yes , it is!”
Can someone explain the significance of that phrase - it crops up a lot on here and so just don’t get it.
JP
‘Cor! That (thing) is expensive/cool!’
‘This (thing)? Why yes, yes it is’
I’ll buy one. Any one.
