2012 Bzpower Member's T-Shirt Project

2012 EDITION

 

 

Phew, finally kicking this project into gear!

 

 

 

First things first: "What are you guys doing?"

 

You look in those pics of BrickFair or BrickFest and see those staffers in them snazzy BZPower staff shirts? Then you see the members wearing their rainbow of a wardrobe, looking all... yanno... normal? (Seriously, guys-- you're Lego fans from BZPower. You're not allowed to look normal.) And then you want to, if you ever go to one of these conventions, have some sort of uniformity to make y'all look all sharp and awesome? The aptly-named BZPower T-shirt Project is intended to address this and more!

 

Imagine walking down the halls of the Tyson's Corner hotels in your lovely BZPower member's t-shirt, getting admiring oohs and ahhs from passerby as they dig your sexy and snazzy member's shirt, catching whiff of your lovely perfume or cologne (perfume and cologne sold separately). You can walk with pride and without a care in the world in your custom-made BZPower member's t-shirt.

 

 

"Sounds epic. What do the shirts look like?"

 

See, that's the thing. We don't know. We don't even have a design or even know what colour the shirts will be. Why? Because you guys get to design the shirts. Yes, not only will you get to wear the shirts, you will also take pride in a sense of artistic ownership of the designs on the garment.

 

Imagine you walking down the hallway of the hotel again. "Oh, nice shirts!" a cute girl says in that carefree Southern accent. "Where'd ya get them?"

"I [helped]* make them," you respond.

"Oh, rad!" she says. She may even ask for your number.

 

* added because we trust you will have some degree of decency and humility and not take all the credit.

 

 

"So, how does this work?"

 

We'll have a few days of spreading the word around, and I encourage you to link to this entry from your signature and blog, if you have one. After this PR period, I will start a contest here in this blog, also posting rules and stuff when we decide on them.

 

Once the contest finishes, we will look at the entries and decide on the one we will use on the T-shirt. Then, voila! They will magically appear and be available at BrickFair this August.

 

 

"Just BrickFair?"

 

No! They'll also be available at BrickCon this fall, and depending if we have enough interest and a way of getting it done, they'll also be at other conventions in the US. Additionally, any carryovers will be made available at BrickFair AL next year.

 

 

"I'm staff. Can I have one too, pweese?"

 

Absolutely! You're all members, too. =D

 

 

"I don't have any plans to go to any of those conventions. How can I still get a shirt?"

 

Depending on your location and your desire to get a shirt, we may (or may not! haha!) be able to ship a shirt to you. =3

 

 

 

Comments, questions, concerns, and such go here.

 

PS: Yes, I know I just blatantly copied and pasted this entry from 2010. Don't judge me.

Not really, though if the design is too complex, there's a good chance it would not be used. The shirts are hand-printed. But at any rate, any design will be accepted.

I support the effort, but I think it's a bit cruel to make anyone think a brick convention is a hot place to meet girls. Trust me, it's not happening ;)

BZP at chest with the BZP headpiece logo under. Or all the 2001 toa kanohis on chest and then the headpiece logo at the the back.

So who among you is going to BrickFair AL next year? The BZPower crowd was pretty sparse this year.

 

Also, as long as the design is as cool as the past two, you can expect me to buy one.

Is there a place to see all the previous winning shirt designs? You know, aside from feverishly searching the entire internets... I do that enough. Sounds fun, I might have to put my degree to use. :) I'll be at BrickFair Alabama next year, among many others. ;)

I wanted to be at the Alabama one this year, but sadly, I couldn't. 2013 is always a possibility, though.

 

And I think I may just enter this time. But I'd like to know if more than one design is allowed per member.

Well, I have a strange idea that the winning design (big surprise here) will have 'BZPower' written on it, and will have Tohu's head.

Au contraire; I met Smeag at one such convention!

Sure! Here is 2010's design, and 2011's design can be seen here. I look forward to seeing your entry and maybe even your face one of these days!

Well, if I can get my photo editing software to work, I think I might have an idea or two to try out, so here's to everyone!

On the top an image of Hapori Tohu, then below him, BZpower.com, and then below the link are the six Toa Mata masks.

Say, are multi-colour entries allowed? So far mine would have that pretty minimally, but I'll get rid of it if it's not allowed.

Please make your design as dictated in the Entry for Entries instead of talking about it here. Link found in the uppermost content block on the right.

Augh, this has come up before in past years. As much as I would love to say yes, unfortunately it is not so. One color only, please!

:kaukau: Since I'm artistic and good with design, I'll consider something aesthetically pleasing that looks like it belongs on a t-shirt. I'm assuming highly detailed pencil sketches would look a little too artsy. Perhaps I'll go with something a bit more geometric that may or may now have something to do with Hapori Tohu.

 

Wait, who am I kidding? Of course it's going to have something to do with Hapori Tohu!

 

And I know just how to do that without being unoriginal.

 

Your Honor,

Emperor Kraggh
