HomeBrewTalk Patches

I am planning on ordering some custom patches to put on a "work" shirt I have. It will be my official brewing uniform. (Black Dickies work shirt, w/ red suspenders.) Corny I know but it puts me in the spirit to make beer.

Anyway. I am going to do the traditional name on one side of the chest and brewmaster on the other side.

I was thinking of doing some other patches on the shirt as well. Maybe on the arms. I saw a nice beer mug that looked cool.

Would anyone be interested in "HomeBrewTalk" Patches. This site has been a huge help in my beer making. I would like to pay homage to it. I am thinking about two designs. Just a simple homebrewtalk.com lettering patch, or maybe go all out and do the official logo from the top left of the homepage. (if I can get official permission from the site of course.)

If there are others interested I can do a larger order and get better pricing. I would pass on the price plus postage for anyone interested. I am not interested in trying make any money.

Let me know.

Good idea.

Make sure you get permission from the site owner TxBrew before taking this any farther.

If TxBrew signs off on it, that sounds like fun.

What the heck. I'm In.

Didn't know they made patches for this HBT addiction I seem to have.

I must agree. It is an addicition......a very good addiction.

I sent a PM to the powers that be on this one. Tried to bribe them with a free patch or two. I will let you know the outcome.

If I get approval I will get a number count and find out what it might cost.

I would be in for a few (especially if it's the logo one)

I'd be up for one.

The guys at custompatches.net (Wayne) have always done good by me and have good prices!

Me too. This site is the shizzle!

I'd be in for one or two, pending approval.

Count me in for some as well, I'll make hats for the locals in San Diego.

What a dorky idea...


Yeah, I want in on it...

Don't know what I'd use it on, but I want one.

Maybe add a buck to the cost (depending on how much they are) and send it to the site every few months? (as a donation, not to get you to premium member)

I would have an interest.

I'd be interested as well.

Sounds like a great idea. Go for it.

I'm in for sure.

I'm in for two. I have a work jacket with a handful of patches on it.

I'm in for a couple as well.

My own $0.02 is to make the ".com" rather understated.

Maybe have the "Home Brew Talk" the main focus, with homebrewtalk.com in smaller letters at the bottom of the patch?

For some reason, we addresses on shirts and patches always kinda bugged me.

Cool. Thank you. I will get things arranged here in the next week or so. I will let everyone know what the price will be and try and get a ballpark of interest.

Well count me in as interested!

I would be interested. What I want is a HBT "euro" oval sticker.

im totally in!

I'd be interested depending on price, great idea!

How has no one said this yet?

Patches? We don't need no stinking patches!

(But I do so make them plzkthx)

Pending price, I'm in too.

So I have made the arrangements. They are working on the artwork now. I will get a digital patch from them to review and Ok. When I receive that, I will post it for everyone to see.

I am going to put the patches at a fixed price. They will be $2.50 each shipped. I will send them out US Postal Service. They are going to be a 3 inch embroidered oval. It should look just like the logo in the upper left of the site.

When everything is set to go and I have them in my possesion I will create a new thread with the details on how to get them. (hopefully we can get a sticky for this.)

Two fifty each is excellent. I'll want several at that price.

Damn. No idea what the hell they're going on, but I'm getting 1 or 2 at that price.

Might have to get some myself. :rockin:

Looking forward to ordering a couple!

$2.50? In for 4! I'll figure out what to do with them later

Are you getting them with an iron-on backing or is it going to be sew-on?

They will be Sew On. I am not a big fan of the iron on. They never really stay on that long.

Here is the first copy of the artwork. This is pretty much what it will look like. I am having them fix the lower part of the ribbon to look like the original. Not sure why they try to follow the patch line. It makes the lettering look to blocky.
Anyway I will post more pics throughout the process.

How about a homebrewtalk.com bowling t-shirt?

You mean the vinyl sticker wasn't meant to be applied to my biker jacket?

Damn.

I'm in.

So here is the final design. They Spruced up the Lettering a bit from the original logo, but it looks good so I am not going to have them make another change.

Next step is they will produce a real patch and scan it. I will post the image when I get it. After that final approval it should take less then a week. So I expect to have them by the end of next week or early the following.
