I am sure it has come up before, but can't find it

Are there any plans to come up with merchandise like boat stickers or caps/polo's/tees?

This could increase the overall awareness of people to this site, and also help lpeople to recognize each other on/near the water. Specially since so many come from the sydney/NSW area the chance of running into on another is pretty big but most of us never seen each other

Good Idea Jack

previous chat on stickers

OK here's my thoughts on the subject for you's to think about.

Initially when it was suggested we only had a handfull of guys who showed any interest & coming from a bit of a buisness background

Just because something sounds good on paper dosen't mean it's a feasable proporsition $$ wise & back then I could see myself with a whole heap of gear that I paid for & nobody wanted.

What I have been trying to do since then is convince my friends @ a certain fishing tackle importing buisness to bring out a line of fishing shirts etc my jaw dropped when I looked @ the price of those Shimano shirts.

I'm not old but getting there in a couple of decades or so anyways these days the sun takes it out of me if I dont cover up & these shirts are ideal very lightweight they allow the breeze through & best of all with sun cancer awareness these days are ideal.

Couldn't see a prob getting www.fishing-oz-style.info sewn into the back of them if peeps are interested ???

Caps ??? Well all here & elsewhere who have met me have recieved one of the sites sponsors caps suppose could get fishing-oz-style sewn into them as well

Stickers ???

Well now with what I think is a semi - success with the Auctions Forum I may take some of the funds from it & get some stickers etc etc made

But unless I get some serious show of no's none of this will happen

Oh the merchandise spoken of with be sold to you guys @ maybe a dollar or 2 profit which in turn will go back into the Charrity Kitty

So have a think about it & let me know

I would purchase a Shirt's hats and stickers!

go for it jumpus... Stickers are cheap and easy...

Hats are easy, and shirts arent alot either... get 50 of each and see how they go...

what about stubbie coolers... can see a few of them going around!!

Put me down for a sticker or two

what about a fising oz style poly boat.... cheap for members?

Rumpus the Hats are given to this site free of charge & all it would cost is the additional embroidery fishing-oz-style to be added if peeps are happy to have the Viva logo up front as well



Stickers work out pretty cheap as long as I or someone else dose the artwork & cutting allready inquired @ a mates shop

Also Brag mats those when they eventually arrive will be given out to the members here free of charge.

There was critisisum of having site sponsors in one of the threads but there are also benefits as well.

Again it's up to you guys what you want on the merchandise

i think it be great i buy 2 for the boat i buy the hats as well and the brag mats free thats even better

yep yep sounds good mate..

as long as viva are happy to have us on their hats?

Brag mats sound good!!!


thats a great pic mate!! coulda shown the big one!! haha!!

Your Wish
Is My Command

I will be happy for a sticker or two. The shirts are ok for the 50+ uv rating. I keep one in the backpack all the time.

What is a brag mat? I am thinking some sort of mat with marking of measurements.

thats great about the brag mats i was going to buy one but there worth like 20 bucks or something ... jumpy/ozman do you think it be good to have another link on this site to lead to desktop background for pcs like on sp ... you know like a photo of botnay fish www.fishingozstyle.com/info .. i mean it cost notting i can make them and if someone is over someones house and goes on the computer then they ask hey what fishing oz style .... and then there could be more members joining up because thery seen the ad on another friend pc ... get the idea

bump

Yes poly it's a bloody big one on Rum's shoulders isn't it ????

Stickers with the URL decent size I'll stick on my boat.

THose lightweight shirts UV protection are excxellent (I'll have biggest size prolly, can we have a fitting?)

Jack

haha!! yea.... but ya shrunk the fish!!! It was TWICE that big, I SWAER...

what about tags or tatoo's...

When we catch fish we can tag/tatoo them with fishing oz style.... ill draw up a pic!!

Jack & to the others who wanted to pay for their stickers !

They will be free of charge simply because they are promoting the site & dont think it fair members should have to pay for them.

Think the go with them is to be printed on clear laminate & we may have 2 0r 3 different colours on the lettering/logo

I for one cant have a dark colour cause it wont stand out & the guys with white boats cant have a light colour.

I really think the long sleeved shirts are the way to go but may also look into V - Neck T-shirts as well



Dont know about tailor fitted

But I also like the bigger sizes so there will be a few sizes

need a small one for me


i think black for white boats and maybe white for yellow polys



i think thats fair ... i'll take 4 ... 2 for boat 2 for tailer whatta think

What is the Logo anyway?

Jack

Buggered if I know !

We dont really have one unless you guys deem my Smugglers 2B the logo ????

Well Jump that could be another comp.

What a budgie smuggler comp Phil?? Thats a bit brash isn't it?

First off I do not see Viva as a sponsor more a supporter of the site, which Jumpy has done a great job. If you have ever tried to get dollar/freebies from a business you will know what a great job Jumpy has done because he has managed to make them ONGOING.

Shirts, win-win for both Viva and the site. Embroidery may be "scratchy" if on the back shoulder line. Printing may be better and it can be printed on the whole back for the same price (only each colour adds to the cost). Pitty winter is almost upon us and get more big sizes.

Stickers, we need artwork.

Brag mats, BRILLANT, Jumpy for around $4 each (max) you can add additional printing.

Caps, stick to Viva, not really enough room to promote the site. But it would be good if Viva put us as a link on their website.

I am willing to help, done a bit of this with organising 4WD competitions.

Just to start off with I'd like to say to Phil & Bee's !

You guys have got Buckleys if you's think anybody other than Jumpus could possible win a budgie smuggler comp

I'm a Natural

Now Freddy !

Yep Yep Viva are more a supporter than a sponsor & I may have Jumpused the gun earlier when I said proceeds from any sales should go to the charitty kitty.

Had a rethink & think we should leave the charity thingy as it is as Viva only donate to this site & the ones who benefit are you guys.

Up to oz man of coarse & dont expect him to say NO

I think any proceeds from merchandise should go into paying this sites bills whether that merchandise has been donated or not

I started already did I win did I win

Guys now we own the fishingozstyle.info domain name as well, I suggest any logo should be written as

FishingOzStyle.info

The capitials help a person read the name a hell of a lot quicker and make no difference with typed it to locate the site.

Just my 2 cents.

You mean a wallpaper , well that's up to the individual the same as a screen saver but the idea is good and I could make a download link to the ftp to allow people to obtain it.
So show us what you have got in designs and let see , as all advertising in great for the site.

For a minute there I was thinking that you were taking about tatoo's you put on your body.

How would the fish like it if the rest of the gang met up with them and they found out that fish was a member of another gang. They would beat him up or send him to swim with the breathers.




O please, let us not go there.

YEP OH L;IKE THAT ONE VERY GOOD IM FOR YOUR LOGO.......SAYS IT ALL........FISHINGOZSTYLE.INFO

Actually that wouldn't make a bad Sticker @ all onya twit top

whoops 4got the S again

Map of Oz dead smack in the middle of the word oz

think i have looked at this a dozen times, and it has grown on me, well dune jack it would look good on the poly

Uhhhhhh.....twit top is reserved for and trademarked by flattie-hunter isn't it??

So you like to see the map of Oz moved sideways?

Jack

My Apology's Jack

For Many years I had Polo Shirts Screen Printed, I gave them to friends and even sold them in the shops, they last for many years, I still see them on the streets and have seen them all around the country, especially up and down the Qld Coast where I travelled a lot. they could be Printed up using Jack's Logo It could say something like I'm A member of Click to view attachment Why don't you Join.

Here is a sample of My old Shirts Click to view attachment Click to view attachment

Another thought. Maybe Jack can play around with it?

I vote for jumpus's one!

I vote not.


And the not have it.

SUMO !

Those types of shirts are pretty easy to get , but would like to give evllybody an option of those long sleeved shirts I spoke of earlier as well

I have my work shirts embrided years back ocassionally I wear them & the embroidery still looks good on them & opposed to screen printing they look alot classier.

I'll take a pic of one & post it

I haven't inquired yet but some of the raingear peeps wear on my boats is not the best & was wondering how many would be interested in a decent type of Jacket ????????????????????

Mine I bought from from a safty wear shop & cost me about $80 & let me tell you's it's very waterprooh & very warm

If enough are interested we may get a wholesale deal shops generally have a 100 % markup

Yes I am interested in both light and heavy raingear but we need numbers.
Problem I have is most shops only stock to 2XL (Chinese version is a small 2XL) and with raingear it needs to be worn over clothes and I prefer it loose. So Australian sourced raingear from an industrial supplier would stock the really big sizes.
