NICO Hoodies

[nissangirl74]

No one has submitted anything yet. If I do decide to pull the trigger on this I promise they'll be good quality. If they're too expensive, I'll drop it. I don't want to pay good money (or bad) for s*** quality. I'll also see if they offer Tall / XXL+ sizes.

Im going to send you and Greg a quote on Monday. If you want a specific direction email me (at work) and I can go from there.

EDIT: Im actually out of the office today, or I would be doing it right now! Going to start here and you tell me where to go. I own one of these and I love it.

Listen lady...hurry up already!

Ha! Well since everyone in here is so pushy, lets get some more feedback. Browse through these websites and suggest some styles. The one I linked above is a 12oz., its rather heavy and warm.

I won't buy a zip up hoodie. Just putting that out there.

[PapaSmurf2k3]

Pullover or bust.

And yes, hurry up. It's already getting warm here... unless you want to sit on product until next winter

I like the styling of all of these. I am also looking for a warm hoodie rather than a windbreaker, but Im not picky. Windbreakers are ahead of the season while hoodies are alittle behind.

A small 6" emblem on a plain black hoodie, while although I would still buy, its too plain and original. Just off the top of my head, how about NICOclub.com in a Nissan badge with the "We take our Nissans seriously" under it, stitched on the back.

I would prefer a zip since I'm fat and it's easier to get on and off.

[AZhitman]

Diet.

Zippers are for old people.

(..and no zippered hoodies here, so bite me. Wait, on second thought, scratch that.)

[AZhitman]

Cmon woman!

Calm yourself, Massatwoshits. I was just throwing the idea out there in case someone might want to get creative.

Damn, I love my wife.

On a side note, I didn't read page 1. I suppose we'll have to do zippered / non-zippered. I think we might do pre-orders on at least half of these, just so we don't get stuck with a load of them.

ALSO, if you have a hoodie you LOVE, let us know the brand name - No, not "Abercrombie" or whatever gheyness is printed on it - the ACTUAL brand of the blank that they started with. It's usually on the neck tag or inside the body of the hoodie.

[PapaSmurf2k3]

Hey Greg, did you ever try on any of my Nissan sweatshirts? They are made out of some green material but its actually quite good.


Edit: don't mind my gangster symbol. We were in a very dark Applebees and were trying to blend in. I think the waitress took the shot and made me do it haha.

[AZhitman]

Yep.

Do like.

[TerminalVelocity]

I like the sport tek one posted above. Slim fit with longer than normal sizing.
Also like this for the inner liner to block the cold further.

If zipped I can wear to work over a polo and take it off in a professional manner.

[Q451990]

with the "We take our Nissans seriously" under it, stitched on the back.

Or we could skip that tagline?

[Rev_D21]

Hoodies are OK but I'd rather see something I can dress the truck up with. Plate frames? Key Fobs? Since most of the shows I go to are during the summer the hoodie would not be going with me.

[WDRacing]

"We Take Our Nissans Seriously" is lame.

[PapaSmurf2k3]

Nissan doesn't even take their Nissans seriously anymore

Nico: drinking club with a car problem.... ill take one in double-fat

Our new logo is in design right now. It's not a major update, very subtle - but it just incorporates the "Nissan Infiniti Car Owners" underneath.

[PapaSmurf2k3]

Excellent. This should be a good platform to launch it with then. Can't wait to see it!

I have always liked the simple, "Nissan Infiniti Car Owners", vs whatever gobbly gook coolness someone thought was creative.

I'll take at least 2 regardless of weather. Kate is cold blooded, so she can wear a sweat shirt year round and I'll be up in Northwest PA, bout 3 seconds from the great lakes, so we'll have breezy weather etc.

Favorite blank: old navy. Little tag says

Seriously the most comfortable hoodie evar.

[addicted4life]

I'm in too. But not cheap

How about similar logo placement to this?


And on the hood across or diagonal



Just so it's not a generic simple NICO printed on the left side in a 3"x6" design?
Bring the red and blue in on the hood section too

[Bubba1]

I'm wearing a zippered hoodie right now, so I better find my cane. But since I own/wear both types, I can skip the geritol/ensure cocktail for awhile.
FWIW, my teenaged son prefers zipper hoodies, so I don't buy the old people argument.

I think the type should depend on how big a logo you want it to have. If you want a big one, pullover would look better, but if you want a small logo on one breast, name tag sized, the zipper style would look better.

[Ace2cool]

I think addicted4life has a good idea. If you make a zippered with a sewn on logo instead of a dumb printed one, it'll last longer, and look a TON better than just a little 3x6 logo on the corner of the front. I don't really like the hood logo idea though.

And I've always done zippered. Where I'm from, pullovers are for old people. Get with the times, Greggers. Maybe pullovers were for young guys when you were a kid way back in the stone age, but hey, times change. Can't hold that against you. :P

[PapaSmurf2k3]

heh, I wonder who the ***hole that voted no was.

It looks to me like the one he posted is screenprinted, and like I said earlier screenprinting fleece/flocked material doesnt usually hold up well. Ends up cracking and fading, essentially looking like a huge POS. To embroider something that size would be insanely expensive.

No sir it's all stitched in entirely. It's a fox hoodie not a knockoff

[DJ_B_Easy]

^Wasnt implying it was a knockoff, just looks screen printed from the pictures. If all the black area is filled in with stitching either one of those placements is upwards of 20,000 stitches. Thats mucho dinero.

[nissangirl74]

Would everyone please send me their sizes and also whether you prefer a pullover or zip-up? Also, let me know if you need a "Tall" size for longer arms / torso, or a "generous" fit for those above XXL. I'm going to try and get us a quote this week.

I will not have these made in multiple colors so let's decide which one we want out of these four: Black, Gray, Navy, Charcoal?
