So it's been a while since i've last done any apparel for the 914 community.
So today i was chatting with Sendjonathanmail and he was like "you should so do a hoodie since most of the us are freezing our butts off this winter and could use some type of 914 winter apparel". He suggested a hoodie. So after some brainstorming i came up with the UNIVERSITY OF NINE-FOURTEEN hoodie idea. The whole idea collaborates our community's knowledge of the 914 and everyone of us is a student or professor to the University. Here's the design:
(please contribute any changes or color suggestions) Thanks!
As far has price goes i have not looked into it yet. But if i get enough interest i'll go to my previous printer to get a quote.

throw out some ideas or a similar design you want me to emulate.

Daniel,
Did you ever look into doing the semi long sleeve shirts again (baseball practice jersey style)?
Posted by: dlo914 Feb 4 2009, 11:50 PM
I was thinking of doing a game jersey. Similar to the Dodger's button up white w/ blue pin striped shirt. And picture the Porsche914 script i used for the orange baseball shirt on there, but in blue n white. Lemme see if i can photoshop my idea really quick.

Could the hoodies be a different color, like an athletic grey? If so, count me in!!!
Posted by: dlo914 Feb 5 2009, 12:18 AM
i could do that. More..more ideas.

More..more ideas.

Hey Dan, nice idea. Im interested in whatever color you guys decide on, just dont make it anything too funky 
Posted by: Vacca Rabite Feb 5 2009, 07:40 AM
Most folks will probably think its a drug reference.

Across the bottom, with the inverse arc of "University" add "School of Hard Knocks"
Posted by: turnaround89 Feb 5 2009, 08:42 AM
this may be a dumb question, but how is that a drug reference? 
Are you going off the 4-20 idea?
Posted by: Vacca Rabite Feb 5 2009, 11:39 AM
^^^
Yup.
Most people will think of Mary Jane before they think of odd sports cars from the 70s. Its the first thing that came to my mind, and I knew what it was supposed to mean (and I don't even smoke).

What kind of hoodie. Looks kinds thin like an 8 ouncer.
Myself I like the heavy 12 oz hoodies.
Posted by: dlo914 Feb 5 2009, 12:52 PM
Sendjonathanmail - thanks buddy, got any suggestions?
Vacca Rabite - i could always add an image of a 914 below the NINE-FOURTEEN.
736conver - as far as the hoodie goes, that image i just pulled off of google and pasted on my design. so i haven't decided on a weight. i personally prefer a thick one, since i feel ripped off if it's a thin hoodie that won't keep you warm.
9146986 - so add a downwards arc saying "School of hard knocks" completing a full circle?
Posted by: BKLA Feb 5 2009, 02:08 PM
Some ideas:
School of Kurven;
Masters Degree in NARP; minor in temporary elevated structures;
PHD in Unlimited Modification Possibilities
Masters in PORPO (pissing off "real" porsche owners)
Real Porsches are Air Cooled
Just some quickies that came to mind...
Posted by: turnaround89 Feb 5 2009, 02:47 PM
I like Real Porsche's are Air Cooled the most.
you could put the picture of the 914 underneath nine-fourteen and then that quote on the back, or something of that nature.
Posted by: dlo914 Feb 5 2009, 03:35 PM
Awesome ideas, i could use the old 914 design from the previous green shirt i made. And put a quote on the reverse side across the shoulder blades. The quote should be 914 specific, but i do like the "Real Porsche's are Air Cooled". The font would either be a bold lettering or a script.
Posted by: ericread Feb 5 2009, 03:46 PM
Vacca Rabite - i could always add an image of a 914 below the NINE-FOURTEEN.
I like that idea. Maybe just a silhouette of the 914? But if it's going to be an accurate portrayal of the people on this board, shouldn't you misspell "NINE FORTIEN"?
; Or maybe spell nine-fourteen in german?Posted by: 6freak Feb 5 2009, 03:51 PM
Maybe under the........ nine fourteen
1 its a n.a.r.p thing

Posted by: BarberDave Feb 5 2009, 05:49 PM
I like all the ideas! " Real Porsches are Air Cooled" on the back with a
silhouette of a 914. Also howabout the 12 oz. and big sizes 3 x , for the portly
members here. Dave 
Posted by: scotty b Feb 5 2009, 06:19 PM
914 done in the correct font, instead of spelling it out; and the sillouette accross the back
Posted by: 9146986 Feb 5 2009, 06:30 PM

Yea, that was my .02
Posted by: dlo914 Feb 5 2009, 08:18 PM
i was thinking of using this old silhouette i used for a previous t-shirt and below a quote that says "The Road Is Our Classroom".
Posted by: sendjonathanmail Feb 5 2009, 08:21 PM
Dan dude I really like that idea. I like the 914 with the script on the back, big enough to see. Its simple yet makes a statement.
Posted by: turnaround89 Feb 5 2009, 08:32 PM
What about leaving the front as originally designed with "University of Nine-Fourteen" and then a quote on the back at the top of the hoodie and then the 914 image underneath the quote in the middle of the back
Posted by: dlo914 Feb 5 2009, 08:43 PM
Dan dude I really like that idea. I like the 914 with the script on the back, big enough to see. Its simple yet makes a statement.
What script? So no "The Road Is Our Classroom" in a bold or cursive font? Along with the old green shirt silhouette.
Posted by: ericread Feb 5 2009, 08:45 PM
Keep it simple. It's starting to sound pretty cluttered... 
Posted by: mbrown3039 Feb 5 2009, 08:45 PM
i was thinking of using this old silhouette i used for a previous t-shirt and below a quote that says "The Road Is Our Classroom".
I like the idea of "914" being in numerals (rather than spelled out) and in 914-script. Also, how about "Class of XX" (XX = 70 - 76) on the back to indicate the year model the wearer owns? Would that much inventory be tough for you to manage?
If so, maybe there's a jacket idea here with additional patches available to indicate year, type of engine, etc...?
Posted by: sendjonathanmail Feb 5 2009, 08:55 PM
Im saying I definetly like the 914 logo that you used on the green shirt and I think that it would look great on the back of a hoody. If you were to use "the road is our classroom" I think it would greatly depend on what font you used.

Posted by: turnaround89 Feb 7 2009, 12:12 AM
Love the jackstands!!!!!!
Posted by: dlo914 Feb 7 2009, 12:51 AM
I might just do that...lol it could be our Mascot.
Posted by: dlo914 Feb 7 2009, 01:59 AM
How's this?
OR
Posted by: dlo914 Feb 7 2009, 02:01 AM
For the color of the sweater and print we can decide on that when it comes to it. Right now i wanna complete the concept of the design first.
Posted by: Sleepin Feb 7 2009, 03:12 AM
I like the second one....in zipper hoodie of course! 
Posted by: *kennyd*914 Feb 7 2009, 05:40 AM
I always thought that the idea of a vented mesh back (or as they refer to it as vented yoke) with the porsche silk screened on it would look pretty cool? Similar to a golf jacket idea (air cooled)
Any tought on that?
Posted by: scottb Feb 7 2009, 06:20 AM
second one, add the jackstands though!!
i would take a couple in a pull over style hoodie....
Posted by: turnaround89 Feb 7 2009, 11:15 AM
Gotta have the jackstands.
Kind of torn btw "the road is our classroom" and "real porsche's are air-cooled"
very slick looking!!! 
Posted by: mbrown3039 Feb 7 2009, 03:43 PM
How's this?
OR
I vote for number two as well and also in a pull-over (hoodie or not). Also --grammatically speaking -- no quotes are needed, and I think they take the "punch" out of the words. Good job!

Posted by: highways Feb 7 2009, 05:49 PM
Love the "Real Porsches are aircooled".
Definitely like the 914 monotone sillohette too.
hope to see some sweaters colors based off the paint code charts.
http://homepage.mac.com/markd/914/colors.html
I'm not the number one fan of the university stuff. Prefer porsche fonts.
n'uff said.
Posted by: dlo914 Feb 7 2009, 08:48 PM
The thing with using "Real Porsche's are Air Cooled" is the whole copyright infringement issue. I don't wanna have any issues with using Porsche in the porsche font.
Posted by: FourBlades Feb 7 2009, 09:48 PM
How about "Wearing out Jackstands Since 1970"
I like all the ideas so far, especially the 914 silouhette.
Whatever you come up with, I will take 2.

Posted by: PH1 Feb 8 2009, 08:42 AM

The first one has a nice classy look to it. Very creative.

Ahh right. Sorry bout that.
Ok putting writers cap on... thinking.. thinking.. how about:
"Air Cooled Mid-Engine Madness"
or
"Air Cooled Mid- Engine Vroom Vroom"
or here we go....
"Performance Optimized Rally Super Car Hillclimber Extreme 914"

Posted by: dlo914 Feb 9 2009, 02:11 PM
All jokes aside, do you guys think of this? 
Posted by: Phoenix 914-6GT Feb 9 2009, 02:19 PM
who was joking?
I think "the road is our classroom" doesn't give the right meaning 
"The road is our playground" or something like that sounds fine but the other makes it sound like you're not a competent driver.

Very true...i didn't realize that till you mentioned it. But other than that what do you guys think of the roman numerals?
Posted by: turnaround89 Feb 9 2009, 03:08 PM
I think you have the roman numerals mixed up. The first one should be IX, not XI. I don't think any of us drive 1114's 
. The second one is correct, though. Other than that, i think the roman numerals is cool, never seen 914 represented that way. I like it!!!!

Come to think of it, i'm favoring a zip up hoodie as well, since it's more convienent.
Posted by: dlo914 Feb 10 2009, 12:02 AM
I'll try to get a quote tomorrow and then gauge how much to sell the hoodies and then begin a pre-order.

Hi,
zippered hoodie would be fine. But I'd prefer blue, darkblue.
With green or orange letters.

Naw, that would look little stupid in an orange car. I second black zipper hoodie, again.

If they ever come to be, I'm in for a couple of "half-zip," pullover versions -- I don't want to take a chance on a zipper scratching the car. Mike
Posted by: Sleepin Feb 10 2009, 11:50 AM
Daniel, could you try that design with the word "of" slightly smaller? Just a thought. Loving it man! Very cool!

looks great!
no zipper! please?

Posted by: dlo914 Feb 10 2009, 09:42 PM
While at work today, i touched up the design and got this:
I altered the NINE-FOURTEEN a bit to match the curve of the UNIVERSITY. Moved things around to balance the image. And i made the rear font solid to match the 914 font.

just not sure you need roman #`s and ..the nine fourteen..makes it to busy ..One or the other ..Jmo look`n real nice on the back I like that alot
Posted by: Phoenix 914-6GT Feb 10 2009, 11:52 PM
I actually see what you are saying Mike. I wonder if "Unversity of Porsche-Volkswagon" would be good with the 914 in the middle.
Posted by: markb Feb 11 2009, 12:08 AM
I'd be in for a zippered one.
Posted by: dlo914 Feb 11 2009, 01:46 AM
Yeah i'm not too fond of the Nine-Fourteen either. Also, i just figured that if we do go with a zippered hoodie, the lettering in front will be split and won't look as nice as a regular pull-over hoodie.
Posted by: Phoenix 914-6GT Feb 11 2009, 02:15 AM
What if you did the "University of Volkswagon-Porsche" idea?
zipper hoodies can split the :
Unive rsity
Volkswagon -Porsche
I like the pull overs as well though
I like the Volkwagon-Porsche idea especially since this is what the cars were known as in Europe.
Posted by: Gint Feb 11 2009, 08:16 AM
I love the idea of a zippered hoodie in theory, but in practice they never seem to live up to my expectations.
Love the image but I can't get into that statement on the back, "The Road Is Our Playground/Classroom". I can't quite put my finger on why. JMO
Posted by: 6freak Feb 11 2009, 08:34 AM
leave the roman#s loose the ninefourteen in front ...and Just an idea how about (live is a curve) on the back under the car...anywho lets bang this out cause i need a new hoodie its snowing in Seattle again ............berrrrr

I'll be the contrarian here...lose the Roman numbers. This is a German machine, not Italian (the difference being that the second seat in German cars is designed for a passenger, not a mechanic as in Italian cars).

Again, using Volkswagen-Porsche is asking for double trouble and i can't afford that trouble.
Posted by: dlo914 Feb 11 2009, 02:22 PM
Alright, so i ditched the roman numerals and the curved NINE-FOURTEEN. In their place i moved up the NINE-FOURTEEN, but left it horizontal, and added the EST. 1970.
I agree with the roman numerals being removed, essentially i was repeating 914 twice.

...IMO.................BLACK AND RED OR WHITE IS MY VOTE

Should i make the Est.1970 and the box it's in smaller?
Posted by: Phoenix 914-6GT Feb 11 2009, 02:35 PM
I think it may look better a little smaller but really looks godd as it is. Phoenix red would be a good color for the lettering

Posted by: scotty b Feb 11 2009, 06:41 PM
Shouldn't it be EST. 1969 ? 
Posted by: dlo914 Feb 11 2009, 07:44 PM
Shouldn't it be EST. 1969 ?
Yeah yeah....
were 1970's 914s labeled with a 1969 date on the driverside door jam?

I just called my printer and he says to be comfy he suggests the XXX-Large. I just measured my own chest and i'm a 34" and i wear a size large comfortably.
Posted by: dlo914 Feb 17 2009, 02:22 PM
Just ordered one. Nice work.
SWEET! I CAN'T WAIT TO GET MINE!

My Dad's Birthday is today! I think I just found his present!
He's 6 foot even with broad shoulders and a medium build, should I go with XL or XXL?

Sounds a bit off though!! I have always worn Medium only recently large (getting older, pah!!) I'm 5'10 medium build. I think an XXXL would swamp me! Who is 5'10 average build and what size fits you??
Posted by: Phoenix 914-6GT Feb 17 2009, 02:53 PM
I am 5'10" and I wear M and L. So do you wear a size 40 jacket? If that's the case L is your best bet

Bingo. Thankyou. Large will be ordered now.
On the site it's showing $5 shipping - do you really want to ship to the UK for $5??

Rod, I'm a 42" chest and large shirts generally tend to fit my finely honed muscular torso (I wish), so I think you'll be fine. XXXL will be like wearing a circus tent!
I see you're in Farnham - I'm working in Aldershot for the next 3 weeks. Small world, isn't it?

That i'm not really sure, but Oldschool (Jaime) should be able to answer that question. Unless you're able to find out what size he normally wears.

So have you worked out how much postage to the UK yet? (And how to adjust the postage on the merchant site? (I was going to chuck on another $10 postage, but was unable to do it..))
Cheers.

Here's the current time schedule for the sweaters:
- Thursday: Silk screen film is being made.
- Friday: Sweatshirts being ordered.
- Monday: Printing will be done.
And as of so far there have been 18+ sweatshirts ordered.
I'll post up a picture of the sweatshirt ASAP when i get mine.

I was playing around with the idea of having a matching baseball cap to go with the sweatshirt, here's what i came up with:
What do you guys think? I could probably start up a University of 914 Apparel line

Is the mis-spelling of "University" on the cap meant to be ironic?
Other than that it looks sweet!

I had a difficult time trying to figure out what to put in that oval. At first i tried the 914 design i used for the green shirt, but it was too small in detail. I showed my mom the design and she suggested a smiley face
hehe. Any suggestions?

If you want the correct Roman numerals, I believe its "CMXIV".
Posted by: FourBlades Feb 19 2009, 06:25 PM
I suggest you use the same font for "University" and "Nine Fourteen"
Shouldn't there be an "of" in there?
Why not put a side view outline of the car where the oval is?

Wouldn't that would read as "nine hundred fourteen", not nine fourteen.

I'd be interested. Dont think colors matter to me too much, but live in TX so something other than a hoodie might be more inticing at the moment (starting to warm up down here). Might still order a hoodie for next winter though!

Here we go guys! I dropped by the shop today and Jaime's guys were packaging the sweaters to be shipped out today and last but not least here's a picture of the actual sweater: 
Also i brought over a few shirts for them to experiment the University design onto a t-shirt. Here's a few pictures:
Also had them experiment on a dark gray Nike hoodie i had lying around the house and here's the outcome: 
What do you guys think of the T-Shirt and gray hoodie? Should we also do a run of the T-shirts?

My Uncle over in China, sourced the material and had his shop crank out the shirts and printed. But hard times hit and he's no longer in the clothing business. I agree i love the feel of that shirt!

Hmm...for those questions you can direct them to Jaime @ EMG Merch. His email is jaime@edifixmediagroup.com. Tell him you want the sweater in a different color and i think he can crank something out.
Posted by: dlo914 Mar 6 2009, 05:08 PM
Cool! Yeah i made sure the sweaters were a good quality and weight. So any interest in a T-shirt version?
Funny thing i just realized, i don't have a sweater of my own. I only had them print onto a dark gray hooded sweater i had lying around the house. O wells.
Throw a picture of you guys rocking the sweatshirt, it'll make good publicity. Thanks guys for your support!

Yep - called again right after the post. (found a different number on your email) and talked with two very nice people. Found out however, that they didn't ship until the 5th, and not the 26th as I was previously told (and emailed).
Just disappointed that the email regarding my purchase didn't match reality...
