I will personally not buy a jersey as I play in my combats or just my bounce vest but I would buy a hoodie to turn up in and wear down the pub.

Personally not a fan of the hoody idea, not that it's a bad idea, just that if we're spending £30 on a hoody may as well just get a jersey imo. Also we can get our own really cool design for a jersey giving us a great team image, rather than the sort of lame look of hoodies. That being said, there's nothing stopping anyone going ahead and getting hoodies done, it's still better than nothing! I understand what your saying Nath, but here is my reasoning. A- They are cheaper, and with a sexy mixture of current financial situation and christmas coming up, this means alot. B- You can wear it out and about as well as for paintball = advertising as you walk C- Most of the other teams turn up in hoodies, so why shouldn't we?? D- It's the winter and getting colder so yes I would welcome the warmth of a hoodie. E- The hood would help to cover Meph's head. Seriously though, there are more good reasons, like they are cheap enough to get family members to pay for them for xmas pressie. All good points mate especially the last one. What do you think about my idea of like army jacket type things with patches? Black like special forces ones with patches on could be quite cool. Just a thought. I'll still be wanting a jersey at some point though.

I like the idea of a black combat smock with patch's. Thing is if you want to go that way for the cool factor, then you would want patch's to be velcro'd on. Yet even without the velcro effect, this would still be the most expensive item of the 3 (Smock/Jersey/Hoodie)

I like the idea of a combat smock with the velcro patches but would definately get a jersey too so which ever way we decide to go is good for me doesnt matter too much about cost coz although cheaper is obviously better u get what u pay for quality wise

I've just found a great website for custom jersey's that did Team Apocalypse's jerseys. When I get on my brothers laptop later I'll whip a few designs up and see what you think. Just in case anyone else wants to have a play here it is www.animalcustoms.com/MonkeyBoy ======================== 1 Case, 1 Kill

Many teams just go for T-Shirts/Polos and Hoodies etc.
There are a few that go the whole Jersey route but IMO less is more. To me, a busy jersey covered in different company logos is just a walking billboard.
If you want custom tops and playing pants then talk to Andy Sables at Fat Bobs, as he now has the Corporate Killers custom clothing range and the prices are pretty good.
Another company that's been used by some teams and gives great service is Anthrax. I think they are Europe based (Greece?) but that doesn't seem to affect decent delivery times and service etc.
For one off T-Shirts, Polos that people could just order any time (rather than have to get 'x' items) then set a shop up on spreadshirt.co.uk with your designs and then just point people there to buy. It's not as cheap as otter ways but it's way more flexible as people can buy, or not, at their own leisure.
For showing a 'branded' image in the safe zone and playing then t-shirts and patches are the least expensive alternative. If you keep design minimalist and professional then Polos are a smart way to wear outside of games and look smart.

Maybe hoodies are the way to go then.
The problem I have is that I would prefer to steer clear of a hoody with just a small printed logo on the front because I think it'll look cheap and rubbish.
If we're spending money I think it's worth investing the time to get a proper custom one done, like where to logo ties in with all the colours of the material etc and makes for somehing pretty awesome.
Like the ones on Anthrax then it look properly designed for you in all your colours etc instead of just a hoodie with a small logo printed on it.
That being said maybe we're running before we're walking again and Tshirts & hoodies would be better to begin with.

You can still have a smaller logo on the breast and a bigger one on the back, with a callsign.

I pretty much get the idea that not many (if any) of us want to get a jersey (mainly because its an air sup thing), I have done a couple of designs on Facebook and am adjusting it today slightly to get the logo on it. But basically I wanna ask if the teams minds me and meg buying one because I'm only really interested in a jersey and once people see us playing in them might decide they want one. Paintball jerseys are the way forward, they look cool and professional as hell. Hoodies are for gangsters and jackets for ex army hobos lol, jerseys are for elite paintball players. Just my opinion hope I don't offend anyone #hugs and kisses#

OK lets gets this in motion. Can everybody reply with what they want and in what order.
I.E. If you want a Jersey and a T-Shirt, but the T-Shirt first then put 1 T-Shirt 2 Jersey
This way we could put people into groups, to work out cheaper deals than just Monkey and God going on there own with this. Do not worry though if you are thinking toy will want a jersey next as the company we get them from should keep the print.
