Footbag sticker

I think the slogan has potential. Just not as plain text on a sticker. Matched with a really strong image and a good design I think it would be a much more appealing product.

I gotta say I would never pay USD$5 for a sticker.

I dont understand the guillotine one that everyone seems to like; what does the gullotine have to do with footbag? Why is the footbag being chopped?

Roscoe, lets not get into business, i can tell that you have a good knowledge of it and so do i. i can smell that kitty fight from 20 miles away. it remineds me of political fights. HATE 'EM!!! but i do thank you for that comment, it keeps me thinking.

i thought of,

"I Shred Therefor(e) I Am" dont know if i should include the 'e', it seems a bit archaic.

or

"I Footbag Therfor(e) I Am"

maybe one named after a cool and interesting footbag name or concept?

Like, 'What?!" its pretty simple and a lot of footbaggers know its a footbag move and its not something stupid and random like symposium miraging osis or something like that.

For the first 10 days i will sell the "Footbag Is Life" ones for 3 dollars USD.

Any others I purchase will be 5 dollars USD no matter what unless I and my finacial manager decide to have a sale in favor of profit.

Adding a logo costs quite a bit more and i am limmited to the amount of choices. The only ones that i found to be appealing and/or footbag related were half an arm with a fisted hand (Image is slightly tilted) and a soccerball.

also i am limited to black and white due to cost.

if color was added the purchase would be over 1,000 USD

the 'footbag is life' stickers will be here in 2 weeks.

Thank you all for your opinions.

"Don't worry, your bag is safe with me." Then have a pic of a hand massaging a footbag

that or replace "bag" with "sack"

ok maybe not...too horrifying to picture in someone's mind.

I'm gonna be thinking of more as I sleep tonight

How the hell does spelling 'therefore' correctly seem 'archaic'? What the fuck?

Pengu · Post by **Pengu** » 04 Sep 2007 07:46

The spelling 'therefor' is archaic. The correct modern spelling is 'therefore'.

$5 seems a little much for a sticker. I like free stickers given away as promo items. Will you use them as sponsorship items? Who the heck is your printer and how many are you ordering at a time to get those numbers?

Tom and I have tried selling stickers. We made back enough money to cover the costs, but ended up giving a lot a way as well. There's not exactly a high demand, although it was just our website logo and we sold sheets of small stickers for $1.

I like the guillotine idea because I'm french and we dont fuck around

"Kicked in the sack" And have a picture of that guy with the red afro wig thing doing a clipper

Can someone explain the guillotine thing to me?

I will give away stickers that say something about Tough Twelve Footbags (my 12's) on them as promotional items at comps and to anyone who i shred with. Yes, i will use them as sponsorship items. i do have a someone who is sponsored under me at the moment but the person will stay classified.

My printer is also classified information. Sorry. Someone will discover it sooner or later but for now (while they are still being shipped) it will go unsaid.

That is all for now.

Thank you.

how about:

"I'd Rather Be Footbagging"

CautionFragile · Post by **CautionFragile** » 05 Sep 2007 09:29

I kinda like that

CautionFragile · Post by **CautionFragile** » 05 Sep 2007 09:29

I would put that on a shirt though

slapdash21 · Post by **slapdash21** » 05 Sep 2007 13:39

how about something original?

most of the ones suggested so far are just spin-offs of overused cliches.

"I am Footbag"

BenRea · Post by **BenRea** » 06 Sep 2007 09:58

is "i'd rather be" a run off of something?

can you name where its from originally?

i know it is seen everywhere using things like rowing, running, yatta yatta, but those types of things sell well, dont they? i think it sounds pretty good.

"I am Footbag" sounds a little dull, maybe m wrong

slapdash21 · Post by **slapdash21** » 06 Sep 2007 11:28

first place i ever saw "i'd rather be...." it ended in "fishing"

my opinion as a consumer:

the pf stickers are fresh. Very simple, good designs, multipul sizes, different choices, small, no yakkity yak or biting already played slogans. of all the ideas you have put forth, i wouldn't pay for any of them. If i got them for free i might use them on, well... maybe a binder, but probably not, simply because they are too big.

i'm with ian on this one, i'm not swooning over the guillotine idea. Stay clear of the blades makes sense, but is there a footbag move named guillotine or something, or do people it like it because guillotines are big, sharpe and are good at head removal?

Grade Zero · Post by **Grade Zero** » 08 Sep 2007 22:11

A bottle of superglue with footbags stuck all over it.

PegLegHolly · Post by **PegLegHolly** » 09 Sep 2007 08:36

ian, the guillotine idea is because theres a footbag trick named guillotine. its fast and looks like the bag should be cut up.

you could do this same idea with almost any footbag trick.

locomotion with footbags coming out of the chimney thing.
predator with a bag thats eating a shoe or some shit. you get the idea.

and ben, i think you jumped the gun on this idea. im sure if you would have asked around then other footbaggers could have given you some names of other sticker printers that would be much cheaper.

Footbag sticker

Would you buy a sticker that says "Footbag Is Life."
