Allright, I am in the process of getting some shirts done for my company. I am just not sure what color shirt I should take and where to put my logo (front or back).

My logo has a green outline and the inside of the letters are black. My truck is red, my equipment is black or red (Ybravo) and I my other gas tools are orange and white (STIHL).

We have orange shirts with a full size logo on the back and a small logo on the front top left with your name under it

Yea, I've been thinking about doing both, but more $$$ tho and put my name on my sleeve. Orange could be good. Gotta be flashy.

I went with a bright colours to stand out...for two reasons..safety and everyone is visible onsite which looks verify professional..i have tried cotton shirt, dry fit...I prefer the cotton because of cost and wash ability..we just have company logo on left front...company hats work well also

Yea, bright colors are a very good idea for safety and of course advertisement. I might get some with front and back logos and some with only front. They will have names on them too look professional. Still debating on the color tho.

I love dri-fit, but not always as resistant as cotton and much more expensive also.

I always go with 100% cotton. Just feels better when the temps get into the 90s

Thank you for all the input!

My mind is pretty much well step on safety green. It stands out and it is safer when I am on the side of the roads and such. Logo on front and back and my name on a sleeve.

One. I could have more people probably and make the Company bigger with a second truck and all, but with University, it gets tricky to do both in September and October unfortunetly. Maybe later on in life. Who knows.

Well, the place where I got my door flyers printed also do this, so phone around. A Screening for one t-shirt would cost around 60$-70$, so instead they do it by transfer wich doesn't cost much.

This is there gray design for that logo. I believe it would be a lot cheaper than the price you Quoted. The stuff like my business cards and magnetic cards and such have always been good quality.

A shirt with that logo and business information including phone number is like $10.00 each in gray

Don't worry, I pay about that at the place here. I will not do the screen printing method.

I just buy bright orange shirts for visibility. For me I don't see a point in making custom shirts since everyone in the trailer park knows me anyways (and my organization is really small). Basic advertising in the park office and on my lawn tractor is enough.

I'll consider more advertising when I expand in the future.

I'm all for visibility.

It really pisses me off when I'm mowing next to the road and someone damn near hits me. People around here are stupid enough to hug the curb (there are no sidewalks).

Big logo on the back is good, when you or your workers are on the ground laying mulch or weeding people see the logo, also if you're using a walk behind people can see it. We also do a small logo on the front for when you talk face to face. Our field shirts are heather grey cotton and our sales shirts are grey polo shirts. We currently have 40 sweatshirts ordered and 100 t shirts. They are awesome for advertising. Everyone likes a free shirt and it puts your name out there for free every time they wear it. We did have high vis shirts but not any longer. The cones and strobe lights are good enough for most stuff. If more is needed we have reflective vests the guys put on.

Ohh and I don't recommend vista print for shirts, when we first started we order some to try, within 2-3 washes they were shrunk too badly and the logos were washed away, they were printed on instead of screen printed. Save a bit of money and get good shirts from a good screen printer.

Thank you for your input! I am still waiting on getting this done. I got the color of shirt decided... Something green to stand out.
As for printing, that is very expensive, but transfer is very good and it lasts a long time.

Loving the shirt design. I find most people who get free shirts never wear them, maybe a few times at the gym.
