Baller BOS_Shirts Posted May 11, 2016 Baller Share Posted May 11, 2016 Feet off? Meters left? Survey says at least 76% of you ( @Horton included ) refuse to think metric. So here you go. And maybe this will help you explain things to a few non-skiing friends. Shorten The Line Shirt Men's S and L-sleeve T's, plus a women's V-neck style.

Supporting Member Than_Bogan Posted May 11, 2016 Supporting Member Share Posted May 11, 2016 Super-cool look, but why have the numbers at all? As a general rule, I get so many free T-shirts that I don't spend actual money on them, but I think I might just have to buy this design if it were just the ropes themselves.

Baller BOS_Shirts Posted May 11, 2016 Author Baller Share Posted May 11, 2016 Hmmm. @Than_Bogan are you saying the design sans numbers holds the potential for intergalactic imperial vs metric vs delta conceptual convergence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller BOS_Shirts Posted May 11, 2016 Author Baller Share Posted May 11, 2016 Just to be clear, my initial thought was to be open minded and feature metric length remaining vs feet removed. @Horton nearly assigned me a panda. I'm a big fan of continual improvement and I think the community (well, @Than_Bogan ) just improved this. I will need to take the design down and do some quick rework later today. Crazy busy day, but stay tuned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ MISkier Posted May 11, 2016 Baller_ Share Posted May 11, 2016 I think it would be interesting to have the buoy placed relative to the handle. A line of buoys across the individual ropes, one buoy on each rope at an aligned location. That tells you what you need to know. The worst slalom equipment I own is between my ears.

Baller jcamp Posted May 11, 2016 Baller Share Posted May 11, 2016 I prefer the numbers. Otherwise it's just a bunch of ropes, especially to the un-initiated. And $5 bucks says @Than_Bogan won't even buy this shirt ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member Than_Bogan Posted May 11, 2016 Supporting Member Share Posted May 11, 2016 @jcamp Probably a smart bet. But it's nonsense to the uninitiated no matter how you adjust it. I'd guess that less information leads to fewer stupid questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skibug Posted May 11, 2016 Baller Share Posted May 11, 2016 @BOS_Shirts You should be able to highlight or use a brighter color and customize the line length of your best score....then as people PB on a new line length, they have to buy a new shirt. It is a return business generator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller BOS_Shirts Posted May 11, 2016 Author Baller Share Posted May 11, 2016 @skibug I like your thinking. In the mean time, have you ever heard of a laundry marker? Speaking of a business generator, @Horton how about awarding the coveted Panda gif automatically debits a forum member's PayPal account and generates a shirt order? There might need to be a frequent-panda volume discount provision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller JC McCavit Posted May 11, 2016 Baller Share Posted May 11, 2016 I can't read which numbers, metric or feet, are on the shirt? I think it should be both, that way when I watch a tournament I can look at the shirt to figure out which rope length the skier is at in feet. Most announcers use metric and I do not know the conversion method without a calculator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Orlando76 Posted May 11, 2016 Baller Share Posted May 11, 2016 I say leave the numbers. In fact make them metric so when I'm watching a tournament I know what length they're skiing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller ScottScott Posted June 1, 2016 Baller Share Posted June 1, 2016 @Horton Ha!! Thats funny. I was conflicted which way to vote as I am generally exposed to feet off more (being in the US stuck in an antiquated system and all....) It is a pet peeve of mine that the US has been to stubborn to adapt to the BETTER and simpler system in all areas.....not just water skiing.

Baller Bill22 Posted July 23, 2016 Baller Share Posted July 23, 2016 @BOS_Shirts and everyone else I will give you a heads up. The American Apparel shirts fit small. I have 4 L shirts I have ordered from Teespring and they fit like a M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Orlando76 Posted July 23, 2016 Baller Share Posted July 23, 2016 ^ I'd say more of the modern "athletic" fit. But yes, better be in ski shape to wear the L, not winter time beer:30 shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Bill22 Posted July 24, 2016 Baller Share Posted July 24, 2016 athletic cut is normally wide shoulders w/ slim body. American Apparel is more like REVERSE athletic cut, narrow shoulders and normal body (w/ extra short sleeves). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller BOS_Shirts Posted July 24, 2016 Author Baller Share Posted July 24, 2016 @Bill22 sorry the shirt didn't fit as expected. I haven't tested them but it looks like they have a pretty reasonable return policy. @6balls if you go to the Logo T Shirt page, you can reserve another and when sufficient minimum number of reservations (I think it is something like six shirts) is reached, you'll be notified and the design will print again.

Baller Bill22 Posted July 25, 2016 Baller Share Posted July 25, 2016 @BOS_Shirts it has been past 30 days. I should have asked when I first got the shirts. I thought they would say tough luck so I didn't check. I know you don't make the shirts I just wanted to pass the word order 1 or 2 sizes up.

Baller BOS_Shirts Posted August 2, 2016 Author Baller Share Posted August 2, 2016 Order tipped again because of interest, and this design will be available for the next 7 days. :) FYI, for those wondering about customer service, I just placed an order but hit the wrong shirt size.

Baller BOS_Shirts Posted March 28, 2019 Author Baller Share Posted March 28, 2019 I just realized this shirt campaign had expired. Just restarted it. Colors may have changed slightly from 2 yrs ago. The shirt however has not succumbed to metric. :) Shorten the Line Shirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
