T-Shirts For TakeFivers
There are plenty of ways to show ones affiliation, angst, anxiety, pleasure, pain, and desire via the American propensity for t-shirts. As such, we at TakeFive, thought you, dear intrepid readers, would establish a ken for our cotton based zen such as here.
Shameless plug aside, I think it is time to survey our readership to see just what they would like to purchase in the form of Official gen-u-wine wearables from TakeFiveADay.com!
It would get rather difficult to produce something for just one specific reader such as this:
PirateDad is down for this I am sure!
or this:
Argh! Drop yer slide rules you land lubbers!
I kid! I kid! But there are certainly a few other new designs bubbling up in our creative readers minds. Keep in mind that copyright keeps us from producing a straight up Guido, McQueen, or probably even a Cars logo but there are ways to perhaps bend things.
So tell us what you would like to see and just maybe we will create it for you!
PS – If we were to offer a really, really nice custom jacket (And I mean nice!), would you guys be interested in it? Something like this:
A top quality jacket in 24-oz melton wool body, leather sleeves, 100% wool knit waistband and cuffs…you get the idea.
If at least 12 TakeFivers would order one, I think we can get the price down to just under $200. Metro thinks I am nuts for even offering this right now in this economy but I say it is cool and refuse to let this friggin’ economy stop me from trying cool things. Naturally, the design that would be created would come first to see just what might work but first we would like to know if creating something like this at this price point makes sense or do we just concentrate on some tasty new t’s?
Sound off in the comments folks and let your voices be heard!

I am up for the jacket and the price is nice…
BUT DUDE!!!! Lets make it like a club jacket!!! yeah?!?!?
All leather… Black of course…
Username embroidered on the left hand side – front pocket…
Your favorite car on the inside lining in crushed velvet…
Take5aday logo on the right hand forearm…
And of course the “Cars” logo on the back with a cool name for our club like:
The fivers.
or Cars-O-Holics.
or CarsMetics
I don’t know… but yeah 200$ for a highschool jacket I beleive they wore in the last century is kinda… Blah.
T-shirts and mugs for sure!
The jacket, however, has to be outta this world!!!!
And for the record – A sweet jean jacket – custom fit – would do just fine for a Take5aday club jacket!
TakeFivers is a good name…?!?
I LOVE the Mug idea!! TakeFivers is a good name…I have always liked Cars-Oholics too…could be the Tag Line tho, and not the name…
Hey BB, how is the movie shoot going??
I’m a girl, I want a pink one
You are a GIRL??? I thought you were ALL WOMAN!!!
I want a pink one too!!!!!!!
OH ANOTHER WOMAN……..OH BOY
I made a suggestion in the November t-shirt post – http://www.takefiveaday.com/2008/11/16/takefiveaday-new-t-shirts-are-up-er-finally/#comment-21479
“Any kiddie ones in the making? Ie “Thank goodness Mommy (or Daddy) is a Carsaholic!” or “All I want for Christmas is a cross border hunt…for CARS!”
I know, corny, but something for the kiddies, please!”
FPG – do you have any ideas? I would love a shirt for my son!
Just come out with a T-shirt already—– something that is $10 and that is what we would buy— leave the coat idea for the trekkies
JACKET ——> IDEA ,MATTELTOP RIGHT SHOULDER, LEFT SIDE UPPER ARM CARS INSIGNIA,LEFT CHEST TAKE5ADAY AND MATER,AND MCQUEEN OF COURSE ON THE BACK NOW THATS 200.00
SOMEONE FIGURE OUT WHERE TO PUT CTC.COM? THIS JACKET IS WALKING ADVERTISEMENT ……I REMEMBER WHEN JACKETS HAD THE LIGHT UP BLING GOING ON……
I love the angst one…funny yet sad!!
I am totally feeling the LoVe…although, I wood prefer mine to be Buccaneer Canadians, of course! 😉
Why is this post titled “T-Shirts for TakeFivers” but you’re offering a $200 jacket? You guys ought to DO t-shirts! Or have I seen that before on here somewhere?
Duh, never mind!!

I slipped that jacket idea into the t-shirt post and in hindsight probably should have left it out. I just can’t get a TakeFive jacket idea out of my head. We are working up some new ideas here but thought you guys would like to chime in…
It’s definitely a great idea, but I’ve got money tied up in a pre-order AND I’m holding out for the Toys R Us promotion (if it ever happens).
By the way, there appears to be a missing picture just above the Pirate flag.
Yeah, I can;t see that one either!
FPG did some great T Shirts, click on the link above in John’s post…I like the Whoop Whoop, Mating Call of the Carsoholic one!!
TIZMANIAN WHAT IS YOUR LOCATION?
Do the pockets come filled with Creme Filled Gask-its flyers?
That’s a lot of CARS money better spent on new releases like Rescue Squad Mater and all of the others I’m waiting to get. Sorry, none for me.
