Alton Towers T-Shirts FINAL DECISIONS

[Murray-Mint]

OK, this is giving me a headache. Make up your mind from the above poll. Select either 1 answer from each category (Colour, Slogan and Writing) OR the bottom option (how it currently is).

The prices in general are:

£6.50 with plain coloured writing
£7.50 with silver glittery writing
£8.50 with glow in the dark writing

You have until Thursday! then, Thursday night, I'll write an ordering system and you can order the T-Shirts. Payment i21 or by cheque, etc.

The top two combinations will be taken and available for ordering.

[Murray-Mint]

OK?

[Aardvark]

Erm, scratch one pink with glitter and replace with black with white/uv. I'm crap, I'm SO sorry :(

[Guigsy]

pink
brothel
glitter

TBQFH!

[RocketKnight]

I'm not happy paying any more than £6.50 for a t-shirt i'll probably only ever wear for one weekend TBH.

I reckon the sky blue + plain colour writing is the cheapest and best looking and most practical option.

Anyone voting for black clearly didn't attend last year when we had temperatures like it was the south of France and wearing black meant certain death. :)

Pink
Violent Video Games
Glitter

!!

[Rich]

The violent video games slogan is pretty funny, if you guys don't use it I might rip you off and use it on a #lessthan3 shirt :D~!

Merchandising is cool!

[her0n]

sky blue
video games
black writing (although silver glitter would also be good)

Video games has to be the best slogan as it's catchy and witty. The brothel one is just lame and the melting one is ok but people aren't gonna get the idea that we play computer games really..

[Limi]

Whatever it ends up as, it better be something that is wearable after the event.

[Murray-Mint]

So it's looking like giving people a choice of ordering:

Sky Blue with Black Writing, £6.50
Pink with Glitter Writing, £7.50
Black with UV Writing, £8.50

Each with:

MPUK Alton Towers 2004

Playing violent videogames since 1999!

NickName

How does that sound? It's not too diverse and it provides an option for those who either want to be crazy, spend more money, or want something subtle they can wear elsewhere and not feel an idiot.

[Aardvark]

Murray has achieved clothing god status. Fear him!

[Afty]

I was so close to Pink... but in the end Im worried my masculinity might fail to shine through such a dazzling facade...

[Murray-Mint]

Well, the web page is ready to go for ordering those three T-Shirts. Everyone OK with this?

[Aardvark]

I'm getting both pink and black, I feel. People who are feeling particularly flush could get all 3, one for each day! :D

[Mingtea]

suddenly pink is tarnished for me, oh well i guess the good will outweight the bad, pink it is.

[Baz]

so...where do i order?

[Murray-Mint]

At the URL I will post sometime tomorrow.

[Guigsy]

this is the effect we should be aiming for......

[Exegesis]

well teh glitter writing kinda scares me, but i'm still going to be brave and press on with pink.

[Wizzo]

MPUK has been going since 1997 btw. The i-series started in 1999.

[Afty]

And most of us have been playing violent video games since the 80s, which I think makes a better slogan :)

"Playing violent video games since the 80's"

Can someone post the link to ordering t-shirts again plz?

[Elbonio]

"the 80's"mdoesnt have a nice a ring as "1999"


how about since 1984 since this was the release of the C64 ?

[Murray-Mint]

OK, assuming we are going for the videogames slogan and that the 3 T-Shirt styles are fine for everyone, the URL is... www.murray-mint.co.uk/at/index2.php.

We can decide on a year for the slogan now :)

FIXED URL

[Exegesis]

i just want to confirm that if i get pink with spangley letters that people will not try to touch my arse anymore than they normally do. because it's just pink, it's not a sexual statement.

[Aardvark]

Stick with 1999. Its sort of accurate, and it sounds better than most other years :)

[Strych]

Do we need to re-order if we already ordered from the other link?

PS - 1999 has a beautiful ring to it, and it was the start of the i-series, which is our main binding tie, as it were. I say 1999 all the way!

[Murray-Mint]

Yep, I'm afraid so, too many changes :(

[Mingtea]

Reorderd.

TEH PINK!!!!

[WeeJ]

Black with glow in the dark for me :) I'm willing to shell out the dosh to glow in the dark

[Elbonio]

you all know what im going for.

oh yes.

[Guigsy]

pink is the only way

[Strych]

OK, can I confirm that the writing will be on the back, and it will be plain on the front?

Also what do the sizes come up like?
Do we have an approximate chest size in inches for each of the sizes?

[Baz]

[Murray-Mint]

Small: 36"
Medium: 38"
Large: 40/42"

Don't worry, Rooth clicked it 4 times :)

Remember people, you are there for three whole days, is ONE shirt really enough? :)

[Ruth]

I clicked it once!

My computer just sort of took a while to do anything. I honestly only pressed it once though. I can follow instructions you know. Even hard ones like that.

Once!!

:sad:

[Guigsy]

i clicked once, it loaded half way and stopped. so i went back and did it again.

[Mingtea]

Worked for me.

me = win.

[Toptotty]

OMG I ordered one of each :D
I ordered a pink t-shirt
Someone stop me!

[Eva_01]

woot pink with glitter ;)

[Guigsy]

eva knows where its at!!

[Afty]

Has anyone considered what effect glitter writing might have on the washing?

[her0n]

Looking at the site Murray linked to, I think we are assuming that the glitter is more the holographic kind, rather than actual glitter stuck on the shirt.. ?

[Mingtea]

yeah i imagine so... i mean real gitter would be real messy.

[gemz]

I had a glittery like substance on one of my Muse shirts, it came off first wash...

[Strych]

From what the website says this is not glitter, so much as holographic foil with a pattern of small overlapping circles, this giving the impression of "glitter" Maybe "glimmer" would be a better way of describing it.

Anyway basically, it's not small particles that will detatch in the wash, it is a solid foil. If its going to escape the shirt, it will be by peeling.

[Elbonio]

or ripped off in passion

[Mingtea]

So we won't have any letters left at all?

[Guigsy]

i had a tshirt with glittery writing on it. wasnt sure if it was the wash or ironing that made it come off.

[Rmage]

That glimmer stuff is fine as long as you dont boil wash it or iron on its front side which will make a mess of the iron if you leave long enough

[HalOS]

Quoted from the BBC

"Pink was a boy's colour while blue was thought better for girls - a "generally accepted rule" according to The Ladies Home Journal in 1918, which described pink as "more decided and stronger" while blue was "more delicate and dainty". "

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/3548904.stm

Woohoo!

Pink rules!

[Mingtea]

dainty.

HA!

[Exegesis]

you know.. it's so true. i mean these days the roles and colors and all have reversed. back then the men were in charge and the women wore blue. i think it was some trick a really intelligent woman pulled that she got all us men in blue and now the girls in pink pull the strings.
