Striker, in his continuing efforts on our behalf has expressed some interest in continuting to make us look good. First the business cards, then the patches; now after his fall riding season winds down it looks like he'll tackle shirts of some style as a next project.
That's not all that could be in the works though. Another of our brethren is buddies with a pin maker. That's right; those pointed things that scratch your nipples through your t-shirt when the keepers come off. Pins!
CVOJoe has put some time in to gathering details with his buddy on this. We all owe Joe an "attaboy" for making contact and putting us in touch with someone who doesn't just do this work but does it well. The first three of the pins shown below for polling purposes are his specific work. He's submitted copies previously of pins akin to the others. But I'd lost those images. These will at least illustrate the types.
Below will be five different pins. This first post on the topic is just to get opinions on a favored "style" of pin. Content we'll worry with after we know a style type. So don't worry yet about what it will look like specific to us. Worry only about what it will look like generally.
As you can guess, everything at this point is very preliminary. Since one of the first questions is always going to be "what's it going to cost?" there has been a bit of homework done. From what's been learned so far it seems that with an order of 100 pieces we should be less than $5.00 per pin delivered to your door. Final art may make it vary just a bit of course. But that'll be a ballpark figure for you to consider.
The following are submitted only for your broad first impressions. Don't worry about future content or even a great lot of the subtle details between the options. Just first impression; which do you like best? Cast your vote accordingly.
