Unless all of you run the entire process through JohnR for permission, this project won't fly...

even if you bring shirts to production.

The problem has never been initiative & finding the right people to act & make it happen.

It has always been an issue of approval for implementation.

I speak from experience...

An embroidered logo already exists... but as a result of having run ahead of JohnR on the project & pissing him & other site seniors off...

it was kibboshed... and went nowhere.

Just be sure to get John's approval PRIOR to doing anything...

Otherwise, you're just spinning your wheels.

I'm not trying to poo poo this idea, but I am trying to offer some practical advice toward the project in case it is ever allowed to come to fruiton...

Bottom line is that this site is JohnR's and he has the ultimate say as to what happens or not on SB.

Unfortunately, I had to learn this lesson the hard way, and hope that the experience will help others in avoiding mistakes in judgement that I made.

" pissed other site seniors off " grumpy old farts . I was never pissed !

good words of advice " get Johns OK " and dont forget a pocket T-shirt for me !

I wouldn't say people were really pissed , certainly not at you personally. Everyone knew your heart was in the right place. Just a little miffed about the way it was handled. You did a great job on the hats but it could have been done in such a way that John was involved.


The stuff you made up was really nice in everyones opinion. The embroidery design was excellent.

I don't think anyone is intending to jump ahead in the game without JohnR's approval. I think everyone's just trying to pool together their creativity and see what'd be cool first before running it by JohnR...

What's wrong with exhibiting a little creativity?

JohnR has yet to kibosh anything there, probably because it's harmless chatting.

ooooohhhhhhh ! yes John should be involved from the beginning of anything involving the site . He da boss hoss of striped bass dot com .

creativity is excellent !

I think T-shirts using the same logo as the hats would be a great idea. I know I would buy one and I am sure most people would. Whatever is profit from the shirts would go to John for the site.
