I thought this would be an interesting way to get an Idea on what people are interested in.

I think it would be nice to have an SL-i decal with a member name that way not only can we see who is a part of Sl-i but Identify the individual. I know Pistonheads.com (http://shop.pistonheads.com/?section=shop&product_category=stickers&product=vinyl_username_smiley_black&start=0&search_term=&order_by=product_label%20ascurl) offers this, but is a much larger site so It may not be possible for SL-i to do the same.

That's a cool idea, but I'd feel weird with "TheSiege" on my car. It would seem somewhat egotistic, that or it sounds like I'm into D&D or something. When really its just that my name is CJ and people call me Siege.

The merch I want is a white t-shirt with pink Sli logo.

for sure, Black and pink and a hoodie

Heather gray zip-up hoodie with black sli... Maybe pink. The only problem with hoodies is that you have to find a company with a good fit which can be hard.

Here is the stuff we are working on. Decals, Calendars and shirts (maybe long sleeve T's, possibly hoodies)

jewbaru, feel free to PM me with any skills, contacts or ideas that can make this happen. Thanks

cant do much on the special side lol.. i just know we used a few sites for our class tshirts and they were reasonable priced and shipped fast. ill try to do a little research and see if i can come up with anything.

It would be so awesome if they just have a site dedicated to only Sl-i purchases.. It would be much easier to keep track, and much easier for us to pay for it. Bigcartel.com??? You could use the free one, and put up 5 products, and maybe rotate them around each week, or month?

How about key ring? Could ask the guy who does the SLI dead pedals? The thing I'm going to do is an SLI windscreen banner :)

That's a pretty good idea. And people seem to be really happy with the dead pedals, so that's a mark in his favor.

Snow Wolf

wouldn't be too hard to do I'm guessing, same principle as what he does with the pedals bot with a hole drilled and a ring put through :)

Key rings would be nice. It would be something small and inexpensive but is worth the support/comradery of the forum

I'd buy a key ring for sure.

EvoGuy
02-05-2013, 08:28 PM
Is it possible to make some lanyards to go along with the key rings? I don't like extra key rings, I would put my car keys and the key ring on an SL-i lanyard!

Snow Wolf

What about SLi license plate frames?

I just thought about that this morning! And a couple other ideas, shift knobs (group buy for discount) and/or shift boot.

Plate frame would nice. I'd buy one.

Its hard to do this stuff when people talk about it but dont buy. Calendars have been on for sale for over a month now and only 10 sold. This makes me hesitant to do SLi merchandise group buys. I would love to offer people this stuff, but there has to be interest.

I think it is price based. A lanyard, plate frame or key chain thingy would probably be in the sub $10 range. Pretty much in the " spare change from under the couch" range. $25 is a decent chunk of change, well for me atleast. Just my thoughts, i would buy one if i wasnt so poor. Haha

I do agree with Reason on this. Most are not willing to get the products when they are offered.

Having said that, if anyone has insight into any of the so said ideas, is anyone willing to do the homework to see what the price point would be?

I myself am not a license plate frame person. The only ones I have are ones from my friends used car lot to promote his business since he is a close friend and also a customer. Now he paid about $1 a frame if that says anything and if anyone is more interested in doing the homework, I can find out where he got them. He got them in bulk and they are nothing more then black plastic you would get from any dealer.

A Key chain is something I would think about since I do have so many damn cars and I dont have any Subaru specific ones. Just one for my Pulsar, Chevy, and Toyota. I have 3 Subaru's in my sig as of now....

So someone do the homework for Reason, and make a proposal for what ever idea it is. Find out what other forums/sites sell them for and then we have something to go off of.

I wouldn't mind an SL-I t-shirt! I thought about it and am trying to make some cool t-shirt ideas just for fun. I personally would love to have a t-shirt version of the original jacket designs, but with a white shirt and black logos. This is what I have so far for something more outside of the box:

Great teeshirt design!

Muse
02-13-2013, 10:10 PM
I'd shell out... I dunno, $25 for a shirt like that, but bear in mind, I'm thinking including shipping, and I'd be getting a 3XL. not sure if that's unreasonable.

Also, I'd prefer it in black.

Snow Wolf
02-14-2013, 01:14 AM
+1 but I only rock hoodies if that were doable

Rubie_25GT
02-17-2013, 08:50 PM
I am working on some black hoodie and white hoodie designs now, as well as black t shirt designs. If someone wants to use them to profit for the forum and make shirts I'm totally down for that. I am considering making one for myself either way lol

Rubie_25GT
02-18-2013, 01:59 PM
Okay so NOW I have other ideas for my design... I have designs for white and black hoodies, as well as a black t-shirt. Once again let me know what you think and if anyone would want to go through with using these to sell for SL-I I would be honored. Also, I don't mind producing any other ideas people may have for them in my spare time :grin:

Let me know what you think and once again judge harshly please. I'll try not to cry like a woman.

So, my brother has an STI and from Subaru was able to get a nice sun shade with the commonly known STI logo across it. I thought to myself how nice it would be if we could get a good quality sun shade with SLI across it as well. not too sure how to go about it but would be more than willing to pay for it.

Reason
08-10-2016, 11:33 PM
Rubie_25GT I sent you a PM.
Navy GSE I've been looking at different things to do, that wasn't something I thought of, and I like it. I will see what I can find.

At the same time, if anyone knows of any place that has quality stuff for custom merchandising please send me a PM.

Yokosilver
01-21-2017, 05:47 PM
I don't think it would work for mass producing as the quality will not be professional, but I threw together a quick design that can be modified and 3D printed. Blue and yellow for reasons.

2097

I have the file on Tinkercad, but kept it private. I would like to keep it controlled for the admins to be able to decide which way to go. I can't print any practice files out because I haven't purchased another 3D printer yet:blob6:. That said, feel free to use the file (it is open for use on Tinkercad) or let me know what else I could do to modify it.

I have a laser coming for my laser engraver on Monday, so maybe I will play around with the SLI logo on that, too.

Yays, Nays, or any other input would be great.

Interesting, what is it?

Yokosilver
01-21-2017, 08:23 PM
Juse a shape right now. I could add a loop on the end to make it a key chain, put some small holes in the back and turn it into grill emblem, sticky tape to the back and make it a badge for whatever/wherever. I can change the shape around it to nearly anything, give more space for forum name or an event name (custom meet up badge, ride of the month with date). Some of those I came up with while writing this, so I am sure other members may have other ideas. Give me some time and I'll prototype a few of those ideas.
