#301 Discussion on official Fedora T-shirt offerings
Opened 2 years ago by duffy. Modified 2 years ago

The design team has a series of requests in for new official Fedora T-shirts for the RHT cool stuff store. The meta ticket is here: https://pagure.io/design/issue/790

Since budget may not allow for us producing all of these at once, it would be good to get the Mindshare perspective of the priority order of the T-shirts. The order @mattdm proposed looks reasonable to me, but just wanted to make sure Mindshare weighed in.

If there are any distro/linux/tech T's you've seen that you really like, or honestly any T design that is inspirational, let's talk about them and see how we can make Fedora's just as cool!


Thanks for opening this @duffy. I agree with the prioritization with one addition: we need new Ambassador polos. That is something we will want to do in the next 6 or so months, I think it fits in to the priority scale as 1.5 or 2.5

@duffy both Mindshare team meetings had a chance to review this and everyone is on board for the prioritization.

I have started looking into options/pricing, etc, with the Cool Stuff Store. Leaving this ticket open to track that info

From my point of view, this is a good chance to ensure that the new shirt vendor offers shirts in all sizes like tall, short and big.

Hi folks, we have been given a quote for 3 options. See info below. I should be receiving samples next week and can comment on the quality at that time. My instinct is we should go with the Allmade, middle tier option. Econscious only goes to 2xl in men, so I think that won't work for us.

I'm inclined for this ones

  • Allmade Unisex Tri-blend Tee - Made with recycled polyester from plastic bottles and organic cotton

but I want the opinion about the samples before voting :P

Hi folks! I am simultaneously looking into new polos for our the Fedora Ambassadors. I am going to try to get a sample of this- my question to Mindshare is, should we keep the same basic format and just update to the new logo OR do we want to update the design in any way? Especially curious to hear from Ambassador & Design team reps @nb and @duffy but if anyone else has thoughts please share!

This is the info I could find about the old design:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Polo_Shirt?rd=Ambassadors/PoloShirt#Fedora_Ambassadors_Polo_Shirt

Shirt: Pique Polo Slazenger, 200 g/qm, 100 % BW,sizes: S; M; L; XL; XXL
Shirt Color: Pantone ® 2935 (the brighter fedora blue)
1. embroidery logo: thorax top left - Fedora Symbol 4cm wide
2. embroidery logotext right upper arm - Fedora Standard Logo (white types) under them >"Ambassador" in U001 Font (white types - Complementary Font according to the Guidlines) 9 cm wide

In mindshare meeting, team liked the idea of adding 4 foundation logo (probably on one of the sleeves?)
Adding it here for others to see and weigh in

So, I was talking with @bcotton about the Ambassador polos, and he mentioned he has a different design, my guess is this one is more current? We need some long time Ambassadors to inform us :)

Feel free to drop opinions on how we should move forward! I did get an initial quote from the vendor, and there are only two embroidery locations, the chest area and the arm (not both arms)
