see with slogans, you want as few words as necessary not as many as possible.

so 'i'm busy', says all that 'i'm too busy winning' says. but with fewer words. IMO

[b]"I would come to the pub but I've got to pick up some railway sleepers"[/b]

Sniff. 😥

Well I reckon the Within Temptation lyrics which are my skype signature would be pretty appropriate - [i]'Someone has to take a stand against evil . . . why should it not be me?[/i] - although I guess that only works if you're into WT. Second the suggestions for 'not now' and 'know your limits' though. I'd definitely buy stickers and wristbands too.

Liking the "I'm busy" idea.

Or maybe, "Sarcoma, I fart in your general direction".

Sarcoma? Sarpunto.

Works better in Spanish 🙂

I'd go with the "not now I'm busy" slogan.

I am not very good at slogans, all I can come up with is:

Sarcoma, riding it free...

I do like, 'Know your limits. Then exceed them'

I like the idea of cycling jersey too.

How about:

"Not now cancer, Bullheart's busy."

Slipping in to work (marketing) mode for a moment, it depersonalises it so people without cancer won't feel odd wearing a t-shirt that says [u]I'M[/u] busy and it builds the Bullheart brand - it's an amazing story and will give strength to so many people.

Alternatively,

"Hey cancer, **** you."

Bullheart, 2009

Whatever it ends up as, keep it short and allow loads of people to wear it - it'll spread the word more effectively.

"Not now cancer, Bullheart's busy."

as already said better than "I'm busy" as I haven't had cancer so a bit different!

"Not now cancer, we're busy..."

+1 for this. Only punctuated correctly. You need a comma after 'now'.

Hmm.. some of these might be considered bragging and could be upsetting for people who are not winning their particular battle.. no?

I'm not articulate enough to think of a slogan but I really like:

"Not now Cancer, I'm busy....

Just because I have not been affected by cancer so far does not mean that I won't in the future. This implies that I am too busy enjoying life to worry about it now or in the future.

+1 for cycling top please.

Sarcoma? I 'ardly even know her!

Also could just cover the t shirt in names of supporters (I'm thinking like Andy Schleck's bike in the tour last year..)

+1 for "Not now cancer, Im busy"

And my own suggestion:
"Bullheart - he beat cancer but still rides a singlespeed"

Well done Mark
But Id still beat you up a hill matey

🙂

EDIT:

"Being a stubborn bastard and riding singlespeed beats cancer"

I think the 'terminal is open to interpretation' is awesome. I would definately buy one of those. It is definately the attitude of my dad when he was facing it. Amazing slogan

The difference between
Bullheart and others is
not a lack of strength,
not a lack of knowledge,
but rather a lack of will.

Topic starter
 

Morning all,

I'm in the Lakes. Its wet.

There are some amazing tag-lines that have been posted on here so far, and I'm listening to the majority of plus opinions at the moment. For me, a definite winner is iDave's [b]'Not not cancer. I'm busy'[/b], which I think reflects the seriousness of the situation, but also the fact that I (we) aren't prepared to let it take over life. Everyone seems to be in agreement that this is an excellent choice, so I think I'm going to put this forward to Al at Spokeshirts.

The original tag-line for anything Bullheart-related was [b]'Because we don't give up. Ever'[/b], and I really like this one. It's very personal to me. I started to think it when the days were very dark, and it's been a mantra all the way through. A couple of you have commented on it being okay, so I'll probably stick with it.

The third one is contentious, but I want to explain why and see what you think. Again, iDave the marketing wizard 😉 came up with it. [i]'Terminal is open to interpretation'[/i] is powerful, and requires further explanation, which I think (hope) is the point of these T-shirts. I want folk to be asked about them, so the story can be relayed and the message continues. But the word 'terminal' is what I'm struggling with at the moment. Not at any point, even when told I have incurable cancer (which I have got, despite there being no trace) did I think of myself as terminally ill. I want to replace it with incurable, but I'm not sure it has the same impact;

[b]Incurable is open to interpretation[/b]

What do you think? Does the message get lost? Opinions please...
