Hey guys, a couple days ago I mocked up some quick designs for a very simple Carlton FC t-shirt. Based on a shirt the New York Yankees have that celebrates past and present players. I was quite taken by these shirts when I saw them, with the famous NY logo on the front and names like Mantle, DiMaggio, Ruth, Gehrig et al next to the present day names of Jeter, Riviera, Rodriguez, etc.
The shirts are very simple, very comfortable and a great way of supporting the club. There could be a selection of present players, and as time goes by a poll on the club website could determine further releases. The first run could be a Captains one, then Premiership heroes and so on, so forth.
My idea is that they're $40-$50, which is a price point enticing enough to be an impulse buy. They're designed to either inspire nostalgia, harking back to the days of the duffle coat, or celebrate our current crop.
These are revised templates for the shirts, using Kernahan as an example.
I think it a nice touch that in celebrating players from another era their shirts feature the monogram they wore during their careers. As such Kernahan would have the old one, whereas Judd would have the new one.
The numbers on the front denote premierships that player featured in (this could become something else, like little cups or whatnot).
I'd like to send the templates off to the club as a merchandise suggestion (not sure how far it'd get) but if people like it thats a start, isn't it. I was hoping to use this forum as a sounding board of sorts, with suggestions from you all helping to form a final design.
Thanks
