We need black shirts: simple design, low cost. The shirts are to show we are in favour of keeping BMO Field Soccer Specific.

We need designs & slogans. These could also be used for banners if anyone wants to paint one.

Any ideas?

Also - if you know any good shirt suppliers could you PM me with the contact info.

*If your supplier or design is used on the shirt - you will get a free shirt

I thought the Sack The CSA shirts only worked out to $5. Anyone have contact details of the guy who arranged those? Will enough people do this for it to be noticed? The Sack the CSA shirts hardly sold like wildfire (just saying)

05-14-2008, 10:30 PM
Great idea, I'm definitely on board for this.

This seems really obvious so people might not like it (or maybe it's already been brought up?)

how about going with the "THIS IS OUR HOUSE" theme?

like a black shirt with huge "THIS IS OUR HOUSE!" lettering in red on the front (maybe also with the crossed out argo's design)

then have something about the agros/SSS/witty on the front/back

What we should do for ASG is leave the stands 10 minutes before half time,can you imagine first all south stands with black T-Shirts and suddenly people start leaving the stands(we can get some extra beer in the meantime).
Turn our back to the pitch all this can be used during the ASG.

I think the message needs to be a bit more obvious....and I also don't like the idea of supporters group logos on the shirts. This is not something that requires segregation.

That's why I went big and bold with "National Soccer Stadium". Really gets the point across in a hurry.

05-15-2008, 02:24 AM
I think the message on the shirt are obvious...and I wasn't trying to segregate people, everyone is in this for one goal, and It's for BMO to stay soccer specific...the logos r there for a piece in history...you can show your kids or grand kids someday that you were there to fight to make BMO Field home to Toronto FC and Toronto FC only..and you can show your kids and grandkids the supporter groups then who were present, even non affiliates can do the same, by putting the TFC crest close to the heart...Im sure in the future there will be tons of other supporter groups for TFC, when they look back they will know that without these groups they won't even exist, and soccer wouldn't strive in North America

James Oliphant
05-15-2008, 03:01 AM
To someone who doesn't visit these boards regularly, what is "SSS"?

In my opinion, if you have to explain it, or if you have to be close enough to read the smaller print, the message is lost.

As for the logos...yeah, I think you're reaching there. We're not saving the world here. ;)

Personally, I think the message should be obvious to a passer by. Someone who has no clue why we're wearing the shirts.

What about a gaint soccer net squashing a set of football endzont posts, where the posts are laying on the ground looking like the wicked which of the east after Dorthy's Kansas house got on top of her....


Or another idea is a big soccer net with fieldgoal posts ...with two TFC players climbed up the net cutting down the fieldgoal posts.... That could be cool.

I think it's a very good design... and I support the logos 100% It shows that we are all on this... and our strenghts as supporters... let's face it we are different from Maple Leaf Fans, Raptors, etc.... we need to let the public know that we are organized and not to take us lightly - whether we are NEE, RPB, or Usector!

A few really cool designs. I think it was brought up in another thread, and reiterated above by RealG-TFC, that there is no need to specifically target the Argos: it should be about the sport, not the team.

The shirt with the football is cool, as is the one with the drawing of the soccer pitch (...not sure the designer was being serious, but I like the inherent humour.)

hey boys....

having done the Sack The CSA shirts and having a good friend in the Shirt printing biz, I am more than happy to help get this going with you.

Here's my 2 cents....

a) keep the artwork simple and big. try to stick with 2 colours at most or else the cost of individual silk screens gets ridiculous.

b) volume drives down prices big time. If we can get 1000 shirts, we might be able to do a shirt for around $5.00 (sell it for $6.00 or $7.00 and donate the proceeds to after cost to charity).

c) try to limit the number of locations you print on the shirt. It adds to cost big time, which is why I ended up losing money on the shirts. I decided to add the CSSU logo on the sleeve, which added almost $1.00 in total to my cost after paying for the extra screen. Not worth it at the end of the day.

If I think of anything else, i'll post it.

You guys know where to reach me. I'm always willing to help.

Actually SOS would be amazing - 'Save or Stadium' it would easily get your point across in Icon format as well as Key Messaging. This is the way to go in my opinion. Can someone mock this up?

Also: Can someone get a quote for 10,000 T's - I would be curious to see the price. (Gobi?)
Why 10,000 - Start a fundraiser and hand out the T's with chant sheets at the time of the event with an explanation for other 'football' fans.

I know people have decided the tshirt route is the way to go. What about taking out a one time ad in Metro. The transit paper. Lots of people read it, lots of people get to BMO on the train. It could be used to both educate the public as to why they should be concerned and educate them as to what they can do about it?

My buddy would be more than happy to supply 10,000 shirts but someone's going to have to be prepared to fork out the $30K to $40K up front to make it happen.

Honestly, I'd suggest being somewhat less ambitious. I could see 2000 shirts being sold at a price of less than $10 each but above that is a stretch but I'd be happy to be wrong.

Once I get a final design from you guys, I'll get you pricing.

Nice idea, Skint, but the cost is high to run an ad. Also, while the reach is great with Metro (lots of people) for the idea to work you need frequency (multiple ads). That's why you see the same shit on TV (and in papers) all the time. It's not enough to hit someone once; you need to do it a lot before it registers with people. Sad, but true, particularly in this day and age when there are so many different ad venues.

Looked like about $1,590 for 1/4 page ad one time. Only Metro ad website I can find is out of the US but it is the magazine for GO Transit (at least they list it) http://www.metro-magazine.com/t_advert.cfm I don't know if it is good bang for the buck.

Wonder how many good flyers we could do up for that price and hand out around the stadium to raise awareness.

A number of people have given me contact information for suppliers, and some suppliers have also contacted me. Once we finalize the design we'll get quotes from as many suppliers as possible and start collecting money for the shirts. The shirts will be as low-cost as possible with any proceeds going towards getting the message out in other ways. The shirts are just a part of the overall message.

DEADLINE: We'll give it until Monday at Midnight for all designs to be submitted - then vote on the designs from there.

Anyone willing to contribute in anyway is welcome to. Selling & Distributing the shirts will require a number of people.

This is by far the best I've seen. I also agree it's unnecessary to put the supporter group logos on it. If the idea is to incorporate all supporters and speak as one, losing the group logos definitely show a display of unity on this particular issue.

And on that note, I hope this and other designs are getting floated on the NEE and U-Sector forums as well. It'd be nice to bring everyone in on the process.

i had a banner i put up on Saturday. It just had an Argos logo with a X through it and it said , STAY OUT!. It was just somethin i made up quickly for the game. Ill bring it every game from now on.

Nice ideas going on here, i agree that the TFC logo and the fact taht we want a soccer specific stadium is key, it might be a good time to protest or wave banners etc at the montreal and vancouver games as it might get some more attention. Even see if some of their fan organizations would be willing to get on board.

I was going to suggest some sort of black arm band that we could have made up or even if we just masses of people to wear them to a game, get some cheap black fabric and hand it out to fans before the games for everyone to wear on one arm... donno its not a great idea but i think it could work and it could be cheap on a large scale

im sure if we organized a stadium-wide boycot on purchasing any alcohol at a game it would definately send a message.... it would definately hit their back pocket (but i cant see it happening even though it would be effective)

This is the best I've seen. I love the real football on the front.

Get them made up early. If they are in the $5 range, I'll buy 20 and sell them in my section. Once people see them more orders will be generated. This could get huge if we have people all over the stadium selling them to the non-supporters.

I like what RPB_RED_MATION did with the argo shirt, but how about if we have the Argo logo as is and in white letters write "This is our house" with the TFC Logo at the end of the sentance?
