'Silk' scarf bulk order

[nacho_nacho_man 477]

Morning all,

A contact of mines can put me in touch with a company that offer silk jacquard scarfs. They offer full customisation and allow us to submit our own design / drawings.

Minimum order is 120 with each unit costing between 3 - 5 quid. - Quite clearly, a low sales order (e.g below 300 units) will result in higher costs per scarf.

I'm not looking to start any sort of scarf business or what have you, however I know that there has been expressed interest in the silk jacquard scarves. If there is enough interest I'm happy to get involved. The product offering would be at cost price (plus a donation to Rangers Media forum to help in their charity work).

Clearly there are many other factors that would need forum input - namely design. - If anyone is proficient in photoshop then please get in touch.

I've added a poll to see if we can generate enough demand to get this idea off the ground.

(I'll run this poll until sunday evening, if sufficient demand is reached then I'll move onto the next stage.) - Met.

A Rangers-esque Paisley Pattern would melt yer hands off it would be that popular, I would imagine.

For the record I've copyrighted that idea, any of you pinch it and am sending a couple of hard, pipe-hittin, African Americans to go to work on you holmes with a pair of pliers and a blowtorch.

I had something like this in mind, pattern wise. From a copyright stand point we couldn't really get in any trouble.

Not bad, although that does look like someones tore a strip off a boys Rangers curtains. I could have a blast on the old photoshop later, I haven't used it properly in a couple of years so it could take a while. I'll let ye know.

Does a bit eh. Trying to find a pic similar to the paisley print but google images seems to bring up some weird designs.

I was thinking something along the lines of;

I could alter the design to have Rangers within the detail, if you get what I mean.

Think we'd need to be careful of how we use the club's image.

Personally I was thinking of a simple retro style (60s/70s)

I was thinking of stars n stuff, not actual copyrighted badges or anything - as well meaning as you are I'm sure the club would chin you for that. Red, white and blue with strategic stars n' shit.

[DarcheVinny 1,003]

I'd be keen, dependant on design!

[JamieG54 812]

Del Bhoy is that you?

Its Rodders

That's something that we'll need to work on.

If there is enough demand, the design will be put down to a vote. Personally I'd like to see a retro 60's / 70s design.

Boy, that brings back memories.

I was imagining that scarf in another 'old scarf' thread.

I'm all for having the stars but I don't fancy any turds on it.

I think that would spoil the design just a little bit.

[nacho_nacho_man 477]

TBH even something like this would look the bollocks in my opinion.

That's sharp would look good.

I'd be well up for a silk scarf....but not if it looks like that! Jesus Christ!

Well i was born in Paisley, the Paisley Pattern is world famous, an amended "Rangers" version could look good imo.

Ultimately it was an idea beyond rangers tie colours and 'No Surrender', not like you can put the badge of Rangers on it.

[nacho_nacho_man 477]

The scarf design will be a forum based decision. We really need one of the photoshop experts to design a wee mockup.

[linfield1690 4,249]

A scarf the same design as the current club tie

[nacho_nacho_man 477]

This is the silk scarf that got me thinking about creating our own. IIRC this original was sold for £150 on ebay not so long ago.

[Govan Front 78 43]

Sounds like a top idea - I actually really like the mod Paisley style one but might not be to everyone's taste...

Maybe incorporating the red lion in a subtle style somewhere would work well (not necessarily on the Paisley pattern one though)

[sandymcm 25]

really like the idea, count me in.

[Falcoholic 1,348]

Yeah I'm in for a couple or three. I'd like to see them based on the original design however the Paisley pattern one is more than acceptable. Especially if it incorporated a logo somewhere at the ends.
