Following on from discussion in this now-locked thread:
https://singletrackmag.com/forum/topic/my-sick-experance

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)

Gnarpoon 1

--
--

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

Gnarpoon 2

--
--

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

Gnarpoon 3

--
--

Design #4

Gnarpoon 4

Realised you couldn't really see the Ill Wind logo, so here it is bigger.
Sadly no room for rainbows and unicorns:

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 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!

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.

#3 in a limited edition of 1 (for Northwind, and for free)
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)

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

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.

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.

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.

I did think a classic, "I wanted a Gnarpoon but all I got was this lousy T Shirt!!" one would work well.

"Designed on Drac's iPad" on the bottom of mine, please?

So No.2 for me.

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!

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.

”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.
