You need my opinion!!!
This thread is for me to communicate with you guys on designs, color options, pricing, and lead time. Please don't fill it up with I like this or I don't like that or I'll take 2 or anything like that. I will handle all of that in other threads, pms, emails, and polls. I am including the color choices for the hats and I will have the colors we can choose from for the logos and outlining very soon as soon as new era gets back to me.
here are the stock colored caps we can choose from.
left to right, top to bottom
gold, black, cardinal, hunter green, kelly green, light navy, maroon. dark navy, royal, purple, red, gray
here is the preliminary design and is close to being final
FAQs:
Can we use the 454, mutant, mayhem, etc. logo?-no. I have specific permission from worth on what logos I can use.
Can we do flexfits?
-no. I am doing this with permission from worth to use the logos on New Era fitted style hats only. Flexfits are available from several worth licensed distributors
Can we include names/numbers etc. on the hats?
-because of pricing and lead times it would be better for you to have this done elsewhere is you want it done.
How much are they?
-last time it was $27 for the first hat and $21 for each additional hat up to a total of 3 and the 4th one would be $27 again. I will keep this pricing as long as New Era hasn't changed their pricing. I will have this finalized very soon.
How many can I order?
-feel free to order as many as you want knowing that they much be paid for prior to me placing the order. I am not making a single $1 on these. Last time a few guys threw in a few extra bucks here and there and I still only had about $10 left when it was all said and done after shipping and buying tape and things like that.
What is the minimum order?
-you can order one or 20+.... doesn't matter to me as long as you pay before I place the order.
How long before I get my hats?
-I would say expect 4-6 weeks or maybe a little longer. I have to approve all artwork and orders before they go into production. Once I recieve them I have to rebox them and ship them out. Last time I shipped hats all over the country and a few to APOs so it took some time. I think I had over 50 boxes with over 80 hats in them.
Do we get a discount on multiples?
-not really. The only discounts come in shipping as I can get 3 in one box without any damage to the shape of the hat.
Proposed color choices so far:
gray hat, black logos w/ white border
gray hat, navy logos w/ white border
black hat, silver logos w/white border
dark navy hat, silver logos w/white border
dark navy hat, carolina blue logos w/white border
red hat, black logos w/white border
monday I will submit the following color choices to New Era for mock ups, should anyone want to include more I need to know quickly.
gray hat, black logo, white outline
black hat, silver logo, white outline
red hat, black logo, white outline
dark navy, carolina logo, white outline

I have set up a gmail account to use to manage this order. My paypal addy will be different but you will get that once I get your order and send you a return email. Please email me your order to [email protected]. Here are simple instructions to help me handle this smoothly.
1. in the subject line please include your SBF screen name and your real name. This makes it easier to compare paypal with the orders and track who has paid and all.
2. please include your name and address where you want the hats shipped in the body of the email, along with a very detailed order. (i.e. 2 red/black/white 7 1/2 1 black/silver/white 7 3/4)
This will get me started. Pricing will be the same as last time. $27 for the first one with each additional hat being $21 up to the 4th one. The 4th hat would be $27 again. I can get 3 hats in each box to ship so that's why the price is the way it is. After we have the order I will start taking money. I will come up with a deadline for the order and money to be in this weekend and let you know on monday.
Cut off date for ordering will be May 27th and gotta be paid up by June 3rd so I can place the order on June 6th. That should have them to me before the end of June.
Here is the order so far. We are 7 short on making the red order and 3 short on the dark navy order. I am leaving it open as along as possible. The order must be in by june 10th. spread the word so all the colors make the cut.
current order as of 6-12-2011 @ 09:33pm CST (go mavs)
