When are we gonna do another racing shirt run? I as a new member missed out on the last one. I know since I've joined there has been a lot more troopers join and would probably love to represent the Bast Alpha in one of those awesome shirts. I just got my 501st one the other day and love it. But to be honest, the BAG ones look a whole lot better and really stand out.

Same happened with my detachment. The pathfinder shirt is awesome. (and I dare say cooler than ours) Pathfinder is in no hurry to do another run on these but with the new election, we have been begging merch there too.

Yup, a joint coin is a great idea.
That is something Karen and I have talked about. We will definitely make that happen this year.

I am going to start another thread to keep the idea list organized. Try to keep it evergreen like the event calendars.

The quote I got from Moritz for 11" patches with the State logo was:

50 @ $25.68 each

100 @ $17.05 each

Unlike the small patches I can't see many of us wanting a lot of these.

Evan and I were talking about doing a possible Dagobah and Bast Alpha sticker run. We have not done stickers in a long time.

I would be interested in 1 or 2 of these.

I am putting together a quote for the Hockey Jerseys, but I need a little help with the design as I am not that familiar with them.

I agree with Jimmy that we can probably use the Pittsburgh Penguins color scheme as a base, at it picks up the white, black, and tan of the BAG logo. I think we can change the color of the text. If so, we might be able to use the same green as the logo to keep these from looking like Penguins jerseys with a different patch on the back.

What all would we want for details? It looks like we can add shoulder logos, but I think they need to be the same for the whole run. So not exactly the same as the racing shirts. Do we want numbers? What should be on the front?

Agreed but the patch should go on the front. The nameplate and number should be on the back. I wouldn't add shoulder logos (unless someone wanted to add regular 501st Legion patches) but if someone wanted a detachment patch on the front where the Team Captain's "C" would be that might be cool.

Idk the extra cost but our screen names or nicknames could go in the nameplate. The year the garrison succeeded from star could go on the number plate. My idea of tkid probably wont fit as some ids are 5-6 numbers. If we did do shoulder patches 501st patches would be awesome but expensive. Detachments could be added by the troopers themselves, we don't wanna get too expensive.
