Two excellent designs, either of which will make the SOS Golf Group the envy of all at Wembley, but which do you prefer, #1 or #2?
Email please to soswembley@gmail.com, let's say by 5pm on Jan 4, so we can include the results in the blog for that day.
LONG DETAILED RATIONALE FOLLOWS. GET YOUR COFFEE FIRST.
The issue of shirts has proved to be a difficult one to resolve. The current shirts are no longer available, and the current supplier is unable to offer long and short sleeve options of the same design (unless it is plain white). An increasing number of players would prefer to have a long sleeved shirt available.
We must therefore choose a new shirt.
The shirt sub-committee (ie Gary and Derek) has visited the factory in Welshpool that produces shirts for a large number of local sports teams (including one of the other Saturday morning golf groups). These shirts are produced locally, not imported, and the process means we can have a more stylish and unique design, and are not limited to just an embroidered logo. Importantly, we can also produce long and short sleeved versions of the same shirt.
There is therefore an opportunity to come up with a design that is more distinctive and contemporary, whilst meeting the need to have long and short sleeved options available. Hurrah!
The fabric is polyester, which is almost universally used for sports clothing these days. It keeps the look and lasts much longer than cotton, whilst being very easy to wash and requiring no ironing. We have had discussions with their designer and come up with these design concepts.
The designs are attractive and distinctive, and have the benefit of a much stronger SOS branding than currently, which will help us raise our profile at Wembley, and be an important tool in attracting new members.
Once the final choice has been made, we will finesse the design details regarding exact placing, sizing and colouring of logotype, etc.
We have had a generous offer of sponsorship from the Lot Six Zero cafe group, and will include their logo in the final design, probably as a shoulder detail. This will mean that the cost of the shirts will be similar to the cost of the current ones.
So, can you let us know your personal preference, #1 or #2.
