Owdo mi lovelys….

I’m thinking about kicking off a competition through the site and our Blog for people to get involved and design their own cycling related t-shirt.

We’ll run the competitions for a month, and choose a winner from the submissions on the last day of every month, and then start over again on the 1st of every month.

We’ll supply a template to design onto, along with a brief of what we require, (already got a stupendous list of T&C’s drafted up).

Once we’ve chosen a winner, the winning designer will have their design printed onto a Tee and they’ll receive one FOC, they will also then receive £1 commision for every T sold online…..what d’ya think?

F*ck ye? or F*ck off?

Answers below please….. 8)

Ye

sounds like fun

nice one i’m up for it.

That’s the idea…… 😛

Also gives a few people the opportunity to potentially earn a bit of bike kit spendo over the Christmas jollies!

I’d say yea, but I’m a ‘venal little bastard’ apparently, so I’d be looking at a bigger cut. Pends what they’re being sold at/what the unit cost is, I spose. But in principle, I think it’s a good idea. Might even work on something…

“I’d be looking at a bigger cut”

So don’t take part then. You’ve just read the conditions. Comply or don’t bother.

An excellent business idea Romster. Genius in fact.

i’d take a bigger cut

i really hope that was written tongue in cheek

cool idea Romster

So don’t take part then. You’ve just read the conditions. Comply or don’t bother.

Untwist yer knickers.

I’ve designed and had t-shirts done myself. So I’ve an idea of the costs involved. I was just putting forward my honest opinion, seeing as Romster asked “F*ck ye? or F*ck off?” 🙄

I too think it’s an excellent idea. I was just making the point about suitable reward for the ‘designer’, in terms of what profits Romster’s company might be looking at, that’s all. Is that so bad?

so I’d be looking at a bigger cut.

😀 I’ll choose to get it Elfin, instead of being all p’d off.

Hell yeah, I’ll play. Actually think that £1.00 each sound pretty generous.

Tah chaps, I best look at gettin some ad space on STW to get it publicised then, if you guys can spread the word that’d be good too, more the merrier. I’m contemplating starting out by making this a STW member exclusive. . . . .what do you think to that idea? I’ll try and get everything set up for the first comp to start for November, if we miss November then we’ll kick it off for December but i’ll try and get everything done in time so we have our first winner before christmas.

What about having a theme for each comp – that would stop folk submitting the same design every time?

perfect idea – nice one

Got to admire you’re rattle Elf, but a pound it is! The other thing is I need to think of some quirky tag line for the comp. “A quid per Tee for thee! Fancy it?” Being a Yorkshire lad born and bred that might not be a bad one! 🙂

Ye the topics is a cool idea, and like you said it will stop the duplicte entries scenario. I like that one, thanks. 🙂

No problem. Quid please 🙂

“Design a T, get a quid”

Boom, no nonsense

Got to admire you’re rattle Elf, but a pound it is!

No worries. How much will the Ts be sold for?

Actually Romster, I might have a business proposition for you. I’ll email you the morrow.

Yup 🙂

Sounds like a good challenge 💡

Go on, go on, I’ll have a crack at it!!

Terms and Conditions are ready & live on the site link….:-)

Just need to stick some artwork up on the site and put a “how to” page together and then i’ll hit the live button tonight so we can get going.

It’s going to be as simple as emailing me through the designs for now, depending on the response over the coming months, i’ll look at getting a “browse —> upload” button added to the competition page.

How much will the Ts be sold for?

£14.99!

I’m up for it

I’m up for it

Nice one 😛

what do they cost? i’m after tee’s and hoodies 🙂

have a look on the site jed!

ygm

T+C’s seem fair. Just to clarify; Romster has the right to print the design onto T-shirts, and any other printed articles/materials?

I ask this not to be deliberately awkward, but whilst £1 per T-shirt sold at £14.99 seems ok, £1 per Hoodie at £30 wouldn’t.

5.1 By submitting the Design, the Designer grants romsterbikewear.com the perpetual, worldwide and unlimited right to publish the Design on the website of romsterbikewear.com or in any other way (e.g. in advertising material). At the same time, the Designer grants romsterbikewear.com the perpetual, worldwide and unlimited right to use the Design exclusively and without any limitations for the purpose of printing on textiles of every kind, in particular for the purpose of printing on T-shirts. This right of use shall also include the right to sublicence the forgoing rights to third parties with or without the obligation to pay royalties.

And the bit highlighted in bold; does that mean third parties could use the design, with the designer getting nowt?

I’m not really bothered if anyone on here thinks I’m being an obtuse twit; I’ve seen too many people ripped off with things like this. IE; Romster sells only 20 T-shirts, but ‘sublicences’ the design to a ‘third party’ (could merely be another company owned by the owners of Romster), and that company could sell unlimited numbers of an article/garment with that design on, without the designer ever seeing a penny?

Just looking out for designers’ rights, is all.

Fred – don’t bother then, simple.

No I’m not going to. Just want people to know exactly what they’re getting into, that’s all. Is it so bad to want to look out for people, and be concerned that they don’t get screwed over? Not saying Romster will, but I’ve seen it happen many a time.

£1 per Hoodie at £30 wouldn’t.

Why not? For a start our hoodies are £26.99, and taking into account you don’t know the costs involved in produce i find your comment slightly unfair and a bit rude to be honest.

It will be £1 per T, and then if the design is popular enough and in demand to be printed onto a hoodie then the transfer will be made and the £1 commision will roll over to the hoodie as well.

I’ve seen too many people ripped off with things like this

I appreciate your concerns about sticking up for “Designers” but this is definitley not something that we are actively looking to do as your comment suggests? If the opportunity arose (more chance of winning the Euromillions) then obviously it is something we would have to address, hence the T&C’s…….

Hope this clears things up Elf.

P.S – Elf are you the Luke that has sent me an email requesting sponsorship? 🙄

sounds good 🙂

Fred – don’t bother then, simple.

😆

Right, i’m off to put the little terror to bed and i’ll be back soon!

Romster

EDIT: In the interests of good relations, I’ll email you, Romster.

😆 No probs….i haven’t got the time for a big STW debate, plus i’m about 15 minutes away from opening a nice bottle of red so i’ll be offline.

(I did catch your inital reply if thats what you are about to send me in an email though?).

All the best anyways Elf.

Romster
