Author Topic: BYOAC Hats v2.0 - now with real polling action! (Read 17170 times)

Pixelhugger · « **on:** July 12, 2005, 10:24:52 pm »

Like the trickle down technological advancements during the Apollo missions that gave us Tang, digital watches, and chocolate space food sticks, the token design process has resulted in a player one button design that I really want on a BYOAC Hat.

So as with the joystick hat design before, my interest in creating BYOAC related headwear for personal use stands to benefit the community as a whole, provided there is enough interest to setup a run.

Demands on my time (job, family and cab building) will require me to streamline the process this go round.

Just like before, the hats will be sold at cost. And just like before they will carry my 100% No Prosthetic Forehead Guarantee. These are NOT the kind of hats sold in gas stations. They are unstructured cotton twill, the same kind of baseball cap you'd get at J. Crew or...errr... the Gap.... only with a strap.

Hat color choices (for now) will be super dark (almost black) blue and khaki. Other cap styles/colors may be offered at a several dollar markup. The arcadecontrols.com url would be along the side.. or maybe back.

Here is a very rough and out of perspective mockup of the design. I'm still waiting for confirmation from the embroiderer that this design is feasible within the budget of a final cost per hat of around $15.

All payments will be via PayPal (VISA and Mastercard OK). Shipping will be first class and included in the +/- $15 cost.

I'll need at least 12 orders to confirm the run. Post in this thread if you are willing to preorder at $15. Once 12 people have done so and the embroiderer approves the design it'd be a go.

Posting that you'd be willing to preorder is not a commitment to buy, but an indication that you'd definitely do so if the run happens. I'll post an update when the official ordering starts.

Dave wants one!

Pixelhugger · « **Reply #4 on:** July 12, 2005, 10:40:08 pm »

Wow. At this rate will secure the run before I leave work.

As long as the design is stitchable.

SirPeale · « **Reply #5 on:** July 12, 2005, 10:40:31 pm »

Hm...it should say "BYOAC" above the button.

Pixelhugger · « **Reply #6 on:** July 12, 2005, 10:42:52 pm »

I'm a bit torn as to whether to keep it simple (and put BYOAC on the side or back) or whether to put it on the front. You're the second one to suggest it.

gust0208 · « **Reply #7 on:** July 12, 2005, 10:49:51 pm »

Put me in for one of these hats!

I would have to say that I prefer the design with just the icon, looks pretty slick with just the 1-player button.

Cheers,
Tom

Oh, yeah.... International shipping is no problem. UK, Canada, etc. Anywhere I can send US Mail.

tivogre · « **Reply #12 on:** July 13, 2005, 12:16:30 am »

One for me please; I also think BYOAC should be on there somewhere...

SOAPboy · « **Reply #13 on:** July 13, 2005, 12:28:00 am »

Possible to come in black?

pointdablame · « **Reply #14 on:** July 13, 2005, 01:02:05 am »

I loved the first hat. I still wear it... although I still get people who think its a lollipop

I'm in for another one this time.

BTW... if these are the exact same type of hat as last time, they are very comfortable and have held up very well. I can take pics of mine which has seen a lot of use, and it still looks awesome.

97thruhiker · « **Reply #15 on:** July 13, 2005, 01:25:26 am »

Put me down for one.

Nannuu · « **Reply #16 on:** July 13, 2005, 01:52:42 am »

Oh man I still love my lollipop hat! But a second BYOAC hat sure would be cool. Maybe a different color this time. I'm with pointdablame, will they be the same kind of hat because the previous hat rules.

ften · « **Reply #17 on:** July 13, 2005, 02:38:25 am »

Put me down for one.

HoopstarsGarage · « **Reply #18 on:** July 13, 2005, 02:43:51 am »

How much for shipping to Australia??

Another vote for just the button - no logo..

monkeybomb · « **Reply #19 on:** July 13, 2005, 03:24:49 am »

I like the button.

I'm in no matter what though.

Me me me me me!!

xonix_digital · « **Reply #21 on:** July 13, 2005, 05:22:31 am »

Definately need BYOAC on the front. But Id, but one either way!

grueinthebox · « **Reply #22 on:** July 13, 2005, 06:40:28 am »

I could use a new hat... Figure on me for an order.

...And yet another vote for just the button, with maybe some text on the back or side.

KDOG · « **Reply #23 on:** July 13, 2005, 08:05:41 am »

Put me down for 1 black or almost black as you call it.

Also would you have one with a velcro adjustment. I am not a big fan of that belt style kind. Even if it cost more

eggedd2k · « **Reply #24 on:** July 13, 2005, 08:28:52 am »

i deffinitely want one m8 in khaki. Will you ship to the UK??

Goz · « **Reply #27 on:** July 13, 2005, 09:08:28 am »

I'd be down for prolly one of each color depending on final design.

shawnzilla · « **Reply #28 on:** July 13, 2005, 09:35:45 am »

Put me down for 1.

crashwg · « **Reply #29 on:** July 13, 2005, 09:40:11 am »

If I can get one in BLACK for ≤$20 count me in!

eggedd2k · « **Reply #30 on:** July 13, 2005, 09:59:07 am »

i reckon byoac on the side would be cool

HaRuMaN · « **Reply #31 on:** July 13, 2005, 10:14:33 am »

I want one... definately keep it with only the button on the front

Goz · « **Reply #32 on:** July 13, 2005, 10:24:00 am »

Maybe a small BYOAC on the back of the hat above the adjuster (small and curved maybe)

The old hat had that on the back. It had BYOAC and then "www.arcadecontrols.com" underneath.

Here are pics of the old hat for reference. Please note that I'm not sure they will be the same hat, so color and style might be different this time..... although they look VERY similar.

greywolf22 · « **Reply #34 on:** July 13, 2005, 11:10:54 am »

Count me in for 1 of the khaki one's

Stingray · « **Reply #35 on:** July 13, 2005, 11:22:10 am »

I'm digging it in khaki & I like just the button on the front. I'm in.

grueinthebox · « **Reply #36 on:** July 13, 2005, 12:06:55 pm »

Text on the back of the old hat is WAY too big... If anything, do just "BYOAC" or the URL (I'd go with the URL, since no one who doesn't already come here knows what "BYOAC" is), but not both, and in a less obtrusive manner.

Nannuu · « **Reply #37 on:** July 13, 2005, 12:08:24 pm »

Yeah, I'll take a khaki one this time. Whatever you put on there is fine.

I agree, I always thought it was a bit too much on the back. Even just a smaller font would be better IMHO.

BTW... your avatar made me laugh for like 5 minutes.

Is it possible to put the arcadecontrols.com around the rim on the back?
