Just Shred would be a good slogan. or like:

Shred Hard
Always Kickin'
SHREDDER
Ur Mom
I Kick My Sack

well since flipsider dropped the profit status of the company, i don't know how willing ellis will be to spend time researching different manufacturers, pricing, quality, etc, etc. for this. maybe some one else should take it up on their own, or maybe people should just not put other people forward for random tasks.

are y'all talking about sweatband-style or vinyl?

I think it was originally planned as similar to the liveSTRONG wristbands, but now that there's options, I need someone to tell me what to think.

what a kickass idea I would buy every color or like 6 of the same or sometihng, what about just wearing a hat, or a bling bling flipsider piece and chain.
Ellis - did u ever make hats or blingN' piece and chains?

like a fat shoestring type of material could be cool.

anything but sweatbands...

I thinking everyone was talking about vynil wristbands. Some people like sweat bands but some people don't. Most people don't mind wearing a tiny vynil writband even if they don't like bracelets...

sweatbands - though stylewise hardly tolerated - would have a practical
side effect - the removal of everpouring sweat from your facial regions.

I wouldn't mind a sweat *wrist* band, but I probably wouldn't wear one on my head.
Something styley... like red on silver, or yellow on dark green.

and about the logo, it should be something that cant be mis-interperated as skateboarding.

Spadrick · Post by **Spadrick** » 13 Oct 2004 15:31

Definately a good idea. What if we could make both? A Sweat-Wristband and a Vinyl-Wristband.

Both could sport a logo, like a generic shredder shilouette with a website address on the other side or border.

Could make the Sweat-Wristband wide enough to tuck a footbag under.

How about a Sweat-Legband? Footbag Represent!

Anyways. Just thought I would post and say that there is a company in my town that prints on plain white Sweat-Wristbands for $1.00 CDN each for an order of over 100 units.

Thats not a bad price.

Dang, you should see if they will do vinyl. I would like a vinyl one way more, looks alot better to me.

PERFECT

yeah awesome!

I'd definitly wear one of those. I think Red would be an awesome colour because it stands out and would be easy to notice - maybe a series of small pictures of somebody landing a ps whirl or something like that - like the Flipsider shirt of Vasek doing whirling swirl - but just the outline - and a little comment like "I love footbag!"

I guess the best thing to do is for somebody with some money to order a largish amount - say 200 or more and then sell them on - maybe add like 50 cents or $1 to the price to make sure that the person doing the investing breaks even and then any profit can either be kept by that person for the work they put in or donated to the IFPA (I like the second option more)

Also it would be best if they were sent in bulk to each area - so like we'd order 30 for australia and then pass them on in australia ourselves - rather than 30 people getting sent one each.

I would never wear a sweat band!
