    @Stoshew71 I'll defer to whatever decision you make about the shirts. I agree though, that cheaper is better and we'll probably get more people to join in if we leave off the names (makes me sad, but tis best for the group cohesion I'm sure).

    @ anyone else who needs a shipper...I'd volunteer for that. I'm in Denver CO, it's a major metropolitan/transportation hub so the costs might be a little lower than for a smaller one. For those of you needing to calculate actual costs from me to you, my postal code is Denver, CO. USA, 80230-6913. I would ship it either by your instructions or by the lowest price + fastest delivery option available and only after you know the cost and agree.

    @Stoshew71 , Everyone do we want to set up paypay, collect sizes, and address?

    I don't mind making the order and sending items out. Be nice if we could get 20.

    I don't want to step on toes if someone else wants to do it.

    Maybe we can start by all who is in respond/quote this post with size and color (blue or orange) we'll go with Stan's design, and anticipate pre pay with paypal. We get 20 orders, we'll pull the trigger on the order and collect addresses.

    Say feb 1st is the anticipated order date? We just need 6 to do one order.

    Stan, if you set the design up, I can help with the distribution.

    Are we doing all men's sizing or men's and women's? I don't really care, but it matters for what size I'm going to get :)

    I'd love a MFP Monthly Running Challenge t-shirt! I like the footsteps.

    But I'm in Australia, which makes shipping a bit of a pain.

    Would it be cheaper if we had sleeveless t-shirts that are unisex?

    I found this place in Chicago that does them with printing:

    I'd love one too. I like the footsteps/challenge accepted, and a bright or royal blue is great, but I'll go with the neon colors option as well. I'm in the US, for shipping stuff.

    I am in for a blue one. If ladies Xl or if unisex a Large. I can't stand tight shirts. I love the names on the back and the logo on the front, but I am also with the "the cheaper the better" group. $25 is my max budget and I am OK with waiting until we have 20 to order.

    OK! I think I will pick the cheapest nuetral tech shirt and offer a couple of colors (blue and some neon or bright color like orange). It will be just the design on the front (no names on the back).

    Custom Ink allows for individual orders for a group (so you can pick the color and size, and pay for it directly to CustomInk) but all shirts will need to be sent to a single location. We would need to have 1 volunteer to accept to be the central shipper when all the shirts come in. @Virkati or @Elise4270 you 2 are the only ones that volunteered. So you 2 can shoot it out for the honors. :-) Once I know where the shirts will all go to, then that person can send me a PM and then I can set up the group order form and announce it.

    It would then be up to each individual to then set up a way to pay the central shipper in order to get your shirt. The benefit of being the central shipper is that you won't pay for additional shipping and you get your shirt(s) sooner.
    So remember what you ordered and make sure you tell the central person (color and size). Because the central shipper will just get a huge box of shirts and won't know who's is who's unless you tell them what you ordered.

    Remember, the cost would also need to include packaging of some sort. I would suggest a shipping envelope (or bubble mailer should do) that a shirt can fit inside of. Office Depot has a package of 25 for ~$22. (about 90 cents per mailer)

    http://www.officedepot.com/a/products/843449/Office-Depot-Brand-Kraft-Bubble-Mailers/


    What I can do is set up an order form that everyone logs into. You pick the color and size, and pay CustomInk right on their website. There will be a date you have to order by. I am thinking maybe 2 weeks or should it be longer?. After the date is reached the order get's locked and they make the shirts and then send it to the central shipper. All shirts will arrive to the central shipper at the same time. The central shipper will then need to resend all the shirts out to each indivudal. Who whoever is the central shipper, everyone else will need to provide that person (the size & color, an address where to ship your shirt, and $ to cover the cost of shipping it to you to include a bubble mailer).

    Is this good for everyone?

    This sounds great. I like royal blue. I don't plan on getting a brightly colored one, so I'll let those who do pick that one. Thank you Stan @Stoshew71! And thank you to @Virkati and @Elise4270 for volunteering to help ship them!

    I'll order one - but I really don't care which Blue. If I must pick... Columbia Blue and Orange.
  • Elise4270
    Elise4270 Posts: 8,375 Member
    I can't see the colors on mobile. I'd go blue. I may consider getting 2, or getting Eric one.

    @Virkati I'm in Oklahoma. If you think your location would be easier to send from, I'll defer. I'm between OK city and Dallas. Totally your call.

    Royal and Power Orange are my vote, but I'll get a couple of whatever we decide on.

    Voting for orange and any of the blue colors.

    With the blue ones, I like the columbia blue best (though royal is also nice, but I guess voting for two out of three blues doesn't make too mcuh sense). And I absolutely love the lime :-)

    (For some reason, all my running shirts are either in a blue resembling the power blue or in some shade of orange. I was beginning to think (apart from pink and black, which I've also seen but never bought) there are no other colors than blue or orange for running shirts...)

    I'm down for either Royal (1st choice) or Powder Blue. Although I would take any color to be perfectly honest.

    Love the orange! Despite being involved with tons of Princeton stuff (school colors: orange and black), I have not a single orange running shirt! And blue always clashes with my blue shorts :P

    I like the power blue and the power orange. Either one works for me. @Elise4270 I'm happy to let you do the shipping. Thanks for being willing to do that!

    ETA If I had to narrow my choice down to one...the power blue makes me think of MFP and I think that's pretty cool just because that's what brought us all together. However, visibility is my highest priority and the orange fits the bill better. So, for me, orange it is!

    Like the power blue as a favorite.
