Is anyone interested in getting new Jerseys, Shorts, ect.. for 2007. Lets tally up and see what we can do.

I guess that I am taking over the ordering and collecting this year, so if you are interested in getting a jersey or shorts or both, please either post under this topic or send an email to ken@team-pinnacle.org

Also, if you know of any new sponsors, or know that the any current sponsors want to continue by donating again this year, please let me know by email.

A lot of new guys in my spinning class might be interested........You may want to keep the jersey the same for a quicker turnaround if people want some jerseys..........minimum order of 10 for each thing.

I wouldn't mind regular shorts.

PJ

I'm definately interested in both and could go either way on the shorts.

I really like last years design, but wouldn't mind a new design for this year, either way is ok with me.

I want another jersey and shorts. The design of current jersey is good but I think the colors should be more along the lines of the Claremont jersey so when we wear the Claremont jersey with the Pinnacle shorts we don't look like we shop at the thrift shop.

Mark & PJ,

Weren't you guys working on something with CCD where people could wear the TP jersey and still get reimbursement? Anything ever come out of that?

Maybe what we really need in the future is a duel branded jersey???

Not that this affects me, just throwing it out there.

Ryan

Last night (Tuesday) at the PJ spin class there were about 6 people interested in jerseys and shorts. I think we have the numbers so who is in charge? The season will be here very soon.

As far as design goes. I suggest we use the current design with the Claremont green not the Pinnacle green for the jersey and the shorts same design but mostly black. Where the Pinnacle writting on the leg is I suggest it be in the Claremont yellow with green outline or the other way around. That way the shorts will match either jersey.

I am in charge. PJ and I discussed going with Craft for our jerseys and shorts this year. I would like to request some samples so we can get an idea of their sizing, so we need to know what people want.

Short sleeve jerseys
Long sleeve jerseys
Shorts
Bib shorts
ect......

A small consesus at a spin class wanted jerseys and shorts.........some bibs some regular. If you only need 6 to order shuoldn't be a problem to get both.

The biggest need is some sponsors if we want to cut costs.

250 to get on the jersey, ken?

MTBmind uses craft, they may have some samples or ideas on sizing.

PJ

I am working on some sponsors right now. I have 4 in mind and I have already made the request to 1 and am waiting to hear back. I will be making a request of the 2nd later this afternoon and hopefully the last 2 by the end of the weekend.

Atleast $250 is what I am requesting.

How many Sponsor's do we need?

Last year we had 5 paying sponsors. It would be nice to get that many again.

Actually we had 7 sponsors that paid at least 250.00, we brought in 1800 bucks in sponsorship.

Newport Lions Club

I think it worked well, that if you found a sponsor for 250 you got a jersey free.

Gurney what about the new guy at Sturm Ruger?

I am a bit tapped with asking for sponsors due to many I asked for at work......

One of our sponsors from last year in the magazine" Business 2.0" as Top 25 Business to watch.

I think we have about five sponsors so far for this year.

Just to let people know, Craft has a "Like Item Quantity Pricing" system which groups different articles of clothing into a single group. For instance, sleeveless and short sleeve jerseys, vests and skinsuits are all considered the same thing. So we need atleast 6 orders of that "Like Item" group.

The other like item groups are as follows:

* Long sleeve items available in jerseys and jackets
* Bottoms items available in shorts, bib shorts, bib tights and bib knickers

We have 2 official sponsors at this point, Tele Atlas and Comprehensive Planning. Tomorrow I am going to be meeting with Ed about colors and designs of the 2 jerseys. If you have any last minute ideas on designs, colors, ect.., please post before noon tomorrow so we can take them into consideration. Nothing is going to be finalized tomorrow, but the sooner we can get this stuff figured out, the better.

[color=blue:eb457bba5b][/color:eb457bba5b]Ken--I have secured five sponsors for jerseys--I need specifics on graphics, $, time-frame, etc. I would like to suggest two preferences: sleeveless jerseys and yellow & orange for colors (black shorts, of course). Julie (alias, Jewels)

Julie, I sent you an email with all the info you need.

Everyone, I have sent in requests for size samples from both Craft and Hincapie Sportswear for both men and womens shorts and jerseys. The Craft samples should be in within the next couple days and the Hincapie samples should be in within a week. Once they come in, we need to get together so people can try them on and choose their size.

The sponsors want to know what they need to provide in art work. What format does it need to be in? When do they have to get to us?

The images need to be in vector format. If they only have jpg or gif logos available, then I believe Ed can convert them into vector images.

I would like to have all logos submitted to Ed by Wednesday, March 14th

We are also looking at Tri/Skin Suits for people doing Triathlons, or if you just want a Tri/Skin suit.

I'm down with the whole Star Trek everyday look myself.

Ryan

We could all agree on a design and just buy body paint on our own too

I submitted a request to our new VP at Ruger on Friday. I'm not promising anything but our new VP in charge of Newport likes outdoors stuff like cycling, so unlike the previous administration we at least have a fighting chance for jersey sponsorship and maybe race sponsorship as well. I'm going to talk more with him Monday.

The Craft Jersey samples are in and are at the Newport Fitness center to try on for size. There is a sheet for orders, and a sheet for the jerseys/shorts and tri suits that are available from Craft. Just put your name, what you want and the qty.

We have a couple extra for sale as well, some sleeveless mens Large, first money in, first to get em.
