Default Fordbarn merchandise/swag poll, cast your vote.

After reading the posts in the "Fordbarn button" thread I thought that I would post a poll for everyone to cast their votes for what type of merchandise you would be willing to buy. This is a multiple choice poll, so you can vote for more than one item. To make the poll carry a little more weight, vote for what you would buy, not what would you like to see offered.

I definitly think that there are enough folks here at Fordbarn (T, A, early & late V-8) that would buy something from the list. I would assume that a T-shirt will be the hands-down winner. These items that are listed in the poll question are just some other ideas that came from the prvious thread and the HAMB store. If you have any other ideas for anything, add them to the thread. My only requests would be about sizing, don't stop at 2XL go up to a 3XL and how about a T-shirt that comes in Tall?

What is a "Can Cozy"?

I like the window decal, it can go along with my MARC, MAFCA, AACA, & AAMA decals, that is if I can find enough window space in a pickup to do that.

"None of the above" should be one of the choices, and it would be mine. Does everything in America have to commercialized? I don't need or want more geegaw junk. Nothing personal against Criswellnk; just my personal grumpy opinion.

I see it as being more of a support. It's not a business it is a community of knowledge.
There should be an "all if the above" option. Alot of people are unaware of this forum and this would be a great way to spread the word. Instead of wearing your favorite football shirt you could wear your fordbarn shirt. It's brilliant

OK, Just didn't know the name. I have a couple that I keep in the car all the time. Also helps keep the rattle down when the can is in the holder. I find them being given away at almost every trade show I have attended.

I think it would be a great idea to be able to identify Fordbarn folks at shows and events. Maybe hats. Ron

Given the look of the logo, which I personally think is actually butt ugly, I would only want a button. If there were some sort of forum designation for Model A, I would think about sticker, hat, shirt.

It's hard to find automotive Tshirts in anything but white or light gray.
Swap meets have double stalls selling nothing but Tshirts...all in white.
I like dark colours (especially black) because I'm going to get it dirty no matter what I do.
A tastefull sized logo at upper left would be my choice.
Oh yes and forget the pocket for heavens sake.
If you want to strut around in a blinding white Tshirt, with a pocket full of pens and white hightop sneakers there's already a million vendors who have your stuff.

It does seem kind of strange to me for a random person to ask this question rather than the one running Fordbarn......

Im in for a pull over hoodie and several T-Shirts. Stickers for the tool box would be cool as well.

Most all of my prognostications throughout my life have been about as accurate (although done with less flourish) than my namesake. And kudos to you for knowing "The Amazing Criswell", I so truly loved to watch that guy back in the 50's.

I didn't think to post a link to this on the other boards (T, V-8), but I will post a thread over there with a link. I also agree with the comment that Craig gave about T-shirt colors, I like the darker colors better as well. The white shirts and bright colors always remind me of the folks that are organizing or running an event, the bright shirt gets them noticed. This all may just be an an abject, foolish exercise but it will show the administrators that at least there is an interest for some Fordbarn merchandise.

Interesting... I carry a pair of reading glasses at all times. To me, a pocket on a Tee shirt is a necessity! People who don't want to walk around with a pocket full of pens (and white hightop sneakers) will always have that option. My 2 cents.

One of the reasons why I don't like to wear a t-shirt.
