I think shirts and/or patches would be cool, but I don't know about temporary tatoos...Somebody should ask Q about this too. I know what I am trying to say, but I don't know all the little by-laws from the 501st (I know that we are not 501st YET, but just to make sure) about merchandise. Don't want to make anyone mad or threaten to sue or anything lame like that.

Well, unless he changed names and I am mistaken, our Merchandise Officer has disappeared since 2 weeks after he was elected to the position. So has our CO (who actually did tell us he didn't want the job), so I have been practically running the board (admin stuff) without any other help and an admin section that I don't have all the access to. The guy who started this site, Dave (torsoboy or Capt. Ferin as he was and is known around here) still has full control of the forum. I wrote him the other day for info on how to access more admin stuff so I could, you know, maybe change the banner on the main page that has said the same thing for 7 months...He hasn't written me back yet...Oh well, don't mean to complain, but it is frustrating.
Anyways, about the patches...At this point, unless someone else knows someone who can make patches or wants to research this on their own, it probably won't happen. I don't know anyone who does that sort of thing. I wasn't involved in the beginning. So, if you know someone who might be willing to make them for us, and I mean this to anyone on this forum, let us know. I would be glad to pitch in a little bit of money for a few patches to go around. Just keep in mind that since we are not (yet) an official 501st detachment (something I do still intend on pursuing eventually) we can't sell them to anyone else, just us here on the forum. And I could be wrong, but I believe that they cannot say anything that can be related to Star Wars. I.E., no "Galactic Marines" "Clonetroopers", or anything like that. I think if we could find someone who makes patches for a decent price, my vote would be for the 53rd logo at the top of every page on this site with maybe just the words "53rd Fast Attack Company" above and/or below. Just really simple.

I agree with the symbol on top. Maybe a combination for 53rd Fast on the top and Attack company on the bottom.
I wouldn't mind sending alittle money to help out with the cause.

Ok, before we do anything, or get excited about it, we need someone to find someone to make the patches and maybe give us a general quote. Any volunteers?

Wouldn't also be wise to wait just a little longer to see if we get our own detachment listing with the 501st? I will see what I can find in my area, but my resources a little limited.

We can't use anything related to the 501st. We can use whatever Star Wars stuff we want but it can't say anything about the 501st. If you want I can contact the same people that do the 501st stuff and see if I can get something going?
Do you have access to any hi rez pics of the 53rd logo?

Dave (Torsoboy) is the only person who had that stuff. He created this site on his own, and then kind of just left us high and dry. I have been trying to contact him for awhile, with no success. Ask the guy(s) you know for a general quote for either 3" or 4" patches and see what they say. I can ask everyone in a poll or something to see if they are interested. If so, we can pool some money together for him if it's reasonable.

Agree, maybe we can start a crusade to get us our own sub detachment within the 501st. I have a friend who is thinking about a gm or possible a at-at pilot.

I'm sure I could get someone to work with the low res pic off of the website but it'll cost more for them to make it into a patch....adding to the cost.
I haven't seen Dave post anywhere in a LOOOOOONG time.....before CT.net was purged if I remember correctly?

He said awhile back here that he was not going to be here much at all anymore. I haven't heard him say anything in a long time though.

I don't know the difference between screen print and embroidered, but if you can get us some very general prices (or even price ranges) for sizes and quantities.
