Sneak Peek at the New Bachido Shirt!

General
#1

Many many months after Alessandro won the nuSwag challenge, it was finally time to design the new Bachido shirt with his creation! And here we go!

I must say, I love the brown and pink combination, and think that if the lines on the tenjin were a little darker, it would be ready to release on Bachido.

Before that, a little more work may need to be done on the front side. I do like the mon in front, but perhaps it should be 33% smaller and have the “Bachido” title underneath it? Also, perhaps the mon should be solid white?
These are just my thoughts. Let me know what YOU think. With your help, we’ll finalize an awesome shirt for everyone to be amazed with!

Bachi on!!

The back looks great, but I agree that the front is missing something somehow. It feels a bit empty, I think.

I like the idea of it being smaller and white. Putting “Bachido” beneath it might look better too. Also, what if it were off-set and placed on a particular side instead of centered? Just a thought.

#3

The back looks freakin’ amazing!

I’ll give the front some thoughts and come back with an opinion. Don’t forget to let a big breasted woman try it out. Just like last time, we don’t want any prints being stretched out.

Thanks, Austin! I’m gonna take the image to photoshop and try shrinking the mon and adding bachido.

We had tried moving the mon to the side in the first printing of the first Bachido shirt. This is how it turned out.

Karl: Thanks! Looking forward to your thoughts! Hahaha! Indeed, I remember last time. :wink:

Hrmm, the mon definitely looks better centered after seeing it moved to the side.

#6

Solid white and smaller rather silver dollar coin or amulette sized could be centered above whatever sized breasts …

#7

As for the backside a bit higher up the whole thing and writing also same pinkish color / texture?

#8

Ladies and gents, here’s some new mockups for the front side! Whaddaya think?

The upper left is the original (3.5"D logo), upper right is shrunk (2.75"D logo). Both lower images have the same shrunken logo/mon. The ‘bachido’ text of the lower left is slightly shrunken more than the right.

Personally, I like the lower right one, but let me know your thoughts, or other ideas! :slight_smile:

#9

Oops. The mon will be solid white, forgot to make that.

#10

Looking good! I definitely like the lower right one better.

I do have one suggestion, though. Since the back is pink and white, perhaps the “Bachido” text on the front should also use the pink sakura texture? I also like BH’s suggestion above to move the entire back design up a bit more.

#11

Ditto Austin’s comments. I’ll buy a couple – will you be delivering to Japan?

#12

Austin: I tried sakura-izing the front text. Needless to say, I kinda liked the original red better. It was worth a try, though!

Dan: Awesome! I can ship them to Japan, though I can’t take them in my luggage (they take up a surprising load of space). Will you be there in May?

#13

Samples of the new Bachido shirt have arrived!

As you know, the back graphic/text was raised a bit. Perhaps it needs to go up a wee bit higher…

Kyle, when do you expect new Bachido t-shirts to be available? Might you be bringing some to the festival in Sapporo? It would be just in time for the forecasted Sapporo cherry blossom blooming date of May 3 (http://www.jnto.go.jp/sakura/eng/index.php). Will Nitta san be getting a supply to sell in Japan?

Sadly, I will not be attending the festival – I’m hoping to experience it vicariously through Celia.

Hey Dan, I’ll be releasing the new shirt on Spreadshirt either today or tomorrow. (Busy day today, so most likely would be this evening) Unfortunately, I don’t really know of any good sources to buy them in bulk, so at this point, they can only be ordered on demand by the customer.

Speaking of swag and Nitta san, he is ordering 50 Bachido Happi (which we’ll be wearing at the taikai this year). That will certainly be available for all in Sapporo. I’m sure Celia will love it! (Hope so)

Understood. Then I hope to meet you at a later date!

Pink. Not just for ladies anymore! This amazing shirt was designed in Switzerland by Bachido member Alessandro Zecca. The back features the silhouette of a shamisen tenjin behind a circle of falling ume pedals. The front sports the full Bachido Mon placed directly over the heart, satisfying everyone’s desire to feel like Iron Man!
