Hey guys,

N.O.I.P. · 16-08-2007 03:42PM

I was thinking about having the IAA logo on the back and on the front something like

Airsofters
__________
We're like
Buddhists with
Machine Guns

Or maybe the other way around, ah its just a thought anyway

tonyj_mc · 16-08-2007 03:47PM

havr to say i think i would buy one

ED E · 16-08-2007 06:29PM

You can have custom T-shirts made in front of you. Just print that out(Photoshop it:D ) and hand it in along with the fee (No idea of price). 1min later, bam, tshirt made.

N.O.I.P. · 16-08-2007 06:40PM

Yup I know, was kind of a theme of mine a few years back they usually sot around €20, I'm actually wearing a custom one at the moment. I just think it would be cool if the IAA had our own T-Shirts that way whenever somebody bought one they would get a shiny new T-shirt and a warm fuzzy feeling from knowing that they were contributing to the IAA.

davvowl · 16-08-2007 06:59PM

if i had to wear a tshirt with it i'd somehow prefer "we're kinda like hippies with machine-guns"
its less religion-related this way
just my 2 cents

anyway, my wallet hates everything lately, but ill be at HRTA this saturday, and i might even be playing !
its a cqb site right ? so i wont get that dirty ? (i dont have any of my airsoft stuff with me here...)
at what time does it usually start ? is there a meeting time at the bus station or something ?
*lost* :rolleyes:

o1s1n · 16-08-2007 07:08PM

+1 for tshirts.
Need to come up with a nice logo for it. like they did for the pantballer.ie ones.

As for captions, I still find

"Airsoft, the friendly way to shoot someone"

far less threatening or insulting than

"we're kinda like Buddhists with machine guns"

Davvowl has a point with the religion thing too. We could drum out a few more and have a poll about it or something.

I'd happily walk around wearing an IAA shirt anyway. Maybe have some
"what is airsoft?" pamphlets in my bag too just in case

It's not 'just' a CQB site and if it's not pouring all day, we be skirmishing round the back, in which case you'll be in mud up to your ankles.

Start 10:30, no meeting or anything in town, but since it's my second outing there this Saturday after too long a break (had time to lose what little tan I had already :eek: ), and since I'm a fellow batracien, n'est-ce pas :cool:, and in a good mood - I can probably sort you with a lift to HRTA Saturday morning

ED E · 16-08-2007 07:13PM

"Airsoft, the friendly way to shoot someone"

Thats better and not so offensive. Clould have a sillohette(Spelling

) of an M4/16 on the back and the Iaa one on the front or vice versa.

Could actually come up with several different selectable designs, dependent on your gun preference. Some people might rather an AK on their back than an Armalite. Then have whatever the caption is under that.

All the same colour for a bit of uniformity, with a small logo on the front.

Done

Isn't what you do with it how you use it?

"1 joule.....it's not about power, it's how you use it!"

davvowl · 16-08-2007 07:23PM

"shoot someone" is quite offensive to me :S

@ambro : now that'd be nice ! real, real nice

N.O.I.P. · 16-08-2007 07:30PM

Well the reason I chose Buddhists is because the religion is all about acceptance and the pursuit of enlightenment, I figured Airsoft is the same but we use machine guns.

Anyway I can understand that some people wouldn't want to wear it on a T-shirt so I won't press the issue but can we think up something better than "Airsoft: The friendly way to shoot someone" I've never been a big fan of it, we shouldn't be promoting Airsoft as an opportunity to shoot someone

I know what you mean. But I always found the 'friendly' in that took the punch out of 'shoot someone' to the point where it was actually okay.

Maybe not.

I'm sure we can have a brain storming session sometime anyway. I'd be one for trying to stay away from sexual inuendos too. (Sorry Gandalf :P)

N.O.I.P. · 16-08-2007 07:38PM

Right no innuendoes no religion and no veiled threats of violence...................................er..............................................................................Damn this is hard.......................................................................Ohh "Airsoft: Its not Golf"

davvowl · 16-08-2007 07:38PM

what about "Airsoft, the friendly way to shoot at someone

"
yeah, with a smiley, coz smileys are nice.
and adding the 'at' somehow would imply not killing the guy

Funny, but I ain't walking around with the world 'golf' on my back.

Boston · 16-08-2007 07:46PM

'Airsoft makes me hard'
'Airsoft, Its big and clever!'
'Play Airsoft, make you're momma proud'
'Airsoft, its all fun and games until someone looses an eye'.
'Airsoft, its like sex, but without the chicks'
'Airsoft, ****ing your **** up since 2007'

davvowl · 16-08-2007 07:53PM

from an external point of view your #5 just... doesnt sound right :rolleyes:

oh and i like your #4 but... man you cant wear that !

Boston · 16-08-2007 07:57PM

Ok,
'Airsoft, its like sex, except no head shots'

Jeasus man just noticed I misspelled your name. I am sorry. The Ghosts are a team from Dublin who we met on our trip to HRTA last sunday and tcob1 is a mate of mine from Galway.

No worries, a mispelling of my name doesnt upset me too much...a bit, but not too much

ambro25 · 16-08-2007 11:22PM

Second the 'Airsoft, it's big and clever!' one - as a caption to appropriate graphics of course, e.g.

or

or...

...you get the gist

Or an airsoft funny graphic with them 'matchstick men' graphics (like on exit signs and whatnot) - I'll have a go at a draft.

Nice! way to consult the rest of the board there crazyrabbit guess you missed the bit where some people said they found that slogan offensive

o1s1n · 17-08-2007 03:42PM

Hang on a second...you completely usurped our idea!

usurper!! usurper!!

Just about everything is gonna offend someone.

And yes, I did miss that bit. I did spot the dozen or so posts saying it was a great slogan though.

Oh, and I do not need to consult you guys regarding what clothes I wear/buy. Being a democracy, anyone in this country could order a similar t-shirt. Being a part of this forum does not exempt me from that right or give you (or anyone else) a say in the matter. You cannot control everything.
