Breakfast is usually a shot and and a beerbong and yeah, you got the scenario right but it's the details that are funny. Look forward to seeing you in 71 days.

Breakfast on tailgate day? You'd have to get up about 5:30 in order to pull that off.

@howiedawg said:

showing up to breakfast still bagged up and wearing mis-matched shoes?

Zombo said:

I can feel the epicness of the tailgate already. the shirts look great - Looking forward to adding to the collection, thanks Miktoxic. I was going to suggest a t shirt design with two unmatching tennis shoes and the BB logo - that in joke will be explained if you make the Titans tailgate

@miktoxic said:

Just bring yourself, that would be the coolest thing. The gang will all be there for the home opener angainst the Tits 9/20.

after checking prices with my embroiderer, i've all but cancelled the hat idea.

i mean i like you guys and all but i don't like you that much, lol.

from here on out it'll just be a surprise when stan opens the box.

I think a cap that spells out Browns Board on the front with both B's large font

Orange with brown lettering and white outline around the letters and/or Brown with orange lettering and white outline.

Simple.

@the-gipper said:

hopefully people will figure out that we're talking about cleveland when looking at the words brownsboard or cleveland. the placement of the double Bs in his mockups really leaves no room for a star and would take away from the major design element, IMO.

@tour2ma said:

Agree on the feel of so much plastic ink on a tee... a design solution might be to use the Ohio silhouette as the "upper hole" in the forward-facing "B".

i'd print the big 'ohio' using a discharge ink. what that basically is is a water based ink with an chemical added to it that bleaches out the color of the shirt and replaces it with the color that is mixed with it in one felt swoop.

the problem floating around in my head now is whether to make the back a date specific event shirt or a 'brownsboard' website specific shirt. by making it date, opponent etc. specific people have something they can wear years from now and say they were at the game, besides i wouldn't have to worry about stepping on the toes of the people who are in charge here. BUT it'd also be nice to throw up the URL and a tagline. just don't know if it would be too busy.....

last one was a pretty simple back with date specific and usernames from people here.

Just a few mock ups, like the minimalism of these. The one that doesn't say Browns Board is probably my favorite, because it's so simple.

@miktoxic said:

that 'stark' contrast almost looks like a foil print. printing that is no problem except if using standard plastisol inks you're left with that heavy hand which can feel like a bullet proof vest in the summer time on a darker shirt like brown.

I prefer the upper one with the BrownsBoard printed, but I think impression is mostly due to the double B's not being solid, but double outlined.

Nice, though I think you could put a star or something where Cleveland is.

@calfoxwc said:

understood. i think the fact that the season starts in the fall and you'd be wearing them during the season, a brown shirt is no biggie (and if it's 100% cotton at least it breathes......i wear mine all the time in the summer). besides in my experience i wear a white shirt once or twice and then it's never the same, not even considering the ketchup, mustard or wine spills on white???? HA!!

btw, appreciate any help. people don't have to be a designer to have great ideas. the more opinions involved the better off i'll feel knowing i got input from a wide spectrum of people.

(THNXS!)

i'd like to get input from some mods so i know wear the line is drawn when it comes to a tag line. i wouldn't mind being specific about "the #1 brown's fan forum. uncensored football talk since ____ (as tour suggested). but i also like a little smarmy as long as it's still family friendly. (i mean i'd make a different version if it was for the friday or saturday night before the game. but wives and kids go to the game so....)

@tour2ma said:

Uncensored covers "Bark'n, Build'n and Bitch'n since 19xx"

I just don't have any ....good.... ideas to add to the mix.

The URL is very smart an idea. Although, with the brown on

a hot day being pretty steamy, and the orange = look like a pumpkin connection...

maybe a white t-shrt, similar to a Browns white jersey?

the colors would stand out...

Well, I admitted I didn't have any good ideas,.....

@tour2ma said:

nice. i agree with having the URL on it. i'll make a list of everyone's ideas.

thanks!

"www.thebrownsboard.com" belongs somewhere...

Potential Tag line: "Uncensored football talk since 19XX"

Mik, if you want to take a simpler approach, I like having something big like the BB logo Royce came up with on the BACK, then maybe just "THE BROWNS BOARD" (just letters) on the front left chest. I personally don't like big designs on the front of t-shirts. On the back it's no problem. But I'll wear it either way.

I agree. Most of my 2 sided prints are with a front left chest print with a full back print BUT if you're getting it for free ????

If you want to help out think of something we could say on the back. It's gonna be a long weekend and I'm sure they'll be ideas that'll pop through our heads. And remember I don't want to put anything out there that the owners of this site find offensive.

@roycerolls said:

hey man, let's enjoy the weekend and hit it again next week. i'll get my drunk friends together tomorrow and ask them about some tag lines. love the stockton idea. the one that he used to use that i always loved was the bud lite in a champagne league thing.

just not trying to say his name too much as he'll suddenly reappear IMO.

your work is much appreciated (and top notch) and whatever happens we'll be sportin something new in the fall.
