I'd like to go ahead with this idea for new t-shirts.
http://quaid.fedorapeople.org/images/tshirt-centos10.png
We'd do a that design on a standard shirt. We can also look at doing that design on a nicer quality sports-style jersey for people to wear who are running event booths, Dojos, etc. (All as I understood Tuomas to explain it.)
Any additional thoughts about this design? Changes or ideas?
Thanks - Karsten

Something like this?
I think a real game jersey for folks doing booth duty might be way cool (literally, too, during summer conferences :)) - those might have some nice predefined styles we could choose from, with our number 10 and name print plus logo in front.
I don't know how much it would cost to do a big pile of them, so maybe a regular tshirt version in larger numbers?

An idea for the tshirt / anniversary graphic could be a foot/baseball/whatever sports shirt with the number 10 on back and CENTOS as name.
The number could also be composed of symbols that picture all the things and tasks CentOS is being used for. Like numbers that are formed from symbols.
But a game jersey might be cool, no idea how costy those would be and how much time is needed to make one.
The "10" might of course work on a tshirt too.

The CentOS Project has a 10 year anniversary coming up -- 14 May 2004.
I've been meaning to bring this up for a while now, I reckon there are a few ideas floating around out there.
== Ideas
- New t-shirt design for the anniversary. * Another useful &
meaningful easy giveaway, such as a new sticker sheet. * A month long party across the globe. * Anniversary cake at every Dojo for the next few months. * Website promotion - new content on the www.centos.org page top. * Social media campaign to support the above. * User videos - "How I use CentOS Linux" - "Happy birthday CentOS Project!" - "Why you might like CentOS ..." - Etc. * "Next 10 years" town hall sessions - live video chats with and users about ideas for the project direction and roadmap for the next decade.
What other ideas do you have?
Who is interested in working on this?
I've invited Tuomas Kuosmanen to the discussion. He's been thinking about CentOS Project design things since last year, for example he designed the new www.centos.org site.

Yeah, I really like the design for a "one shot" t-shirt and that's something to celebrate (10 year anniversary). It would be cool to have such t-shirts as swags for the various Dojos planned in the following months. What would be the ETA for such t-shirts ?
I'd be less tempted by the jersey variant myself though (just my opinion) for the following reasons : - - while I'd wear the "normal" t-shirt for the occasion, I'd prefer myself a nice Polo or a buttoned shirt when having to present something in front of an audience, or even just talk at the booth - - the jersey variant costs more than nice Polo/buttoned shirt we can use for *year* (yeah, still giving CentOS talks with my buttoned shirt we created for Fosdem 2007 :-) )
I don't mind receiving such jersey variant if we'd produce those though :-)

Looks and sounds good to me.
If we can, it would be great to get these ones done for the remaining Dojo's in the year.
btw, is that something you can take up and run ( organising the T's for the Dojo's ).

Hey all :-)
Sorry for a late reply to this thread, I was too busy enjoying the sunshine we had for the last few weeks and just got back to email. :-]
(For those I do not yet know, I am part of the Open Source & Standards team at Red Hat, which lets me help free software projects with design, ideas and artwork. Some old beards might remember me from Gimp / GNOME projects back then when monitors were thick and computers had floppy drives :-) I'm happy to help.
Anyway, the idea was to have a "celebrative" shirt for the occasion, it's nice to see many positive remarks for the proposed design.
I can also see the point in promoting CentOS at work, when you have to dress more formally, and nothing stops us from doing a separate design to solve that issue. Cost permitting, a polo might fit that need nicely.
Both cases make sense and likely one shirt won't fit both.
Best, Tuomas

Right, we can look at doing a nice polo or button-down to outfit people representing CentOS at events, etc.
For now we've just approved doing a t-shirt based on your design, probably using the 'ringer'-style t-shirt (with a band at the neck and arms.)
We'd like to get the first batch of these done for events happening in September.

Okay. The "ringer" should make it stand out a bit too, which is good at conference booths as well (until the next day when everyone is wearing the giveaway shirts ;)
I'll review the feedback once more and will create a proposed design we can agree on, and lets get this done :-)
Do we have a manufacturer with possible color choices in our sights already?
//Tuomas
OK.
Vegur did not have a nice looking number 1, so I ended up making the number "10" from scratch which I think looks better.
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CentOS/Promo-Artwork/master/tshirts/centos...
Comments welcome, I am pretty happy with that one.

Oops, the SVG is there in the same folder, btw.
If no major issues are raised, we should get this going and I can make the files for printing today.

The design looks good to me. Althoguth I would suggest to: - use Vegur typography for release numbers both in front and back. - use Denmark typography for all words. - use CentOS instead of CENTOS. - use a smaller composition on back. - make the SVG image available somewhere public for anyone to make contributions.

Not everyone is a baseball or American football fan !
Dislikes:
(1) gaudy although probably very acceptable to Americans as 'typical' clothing.
(2) white bands on sleeves and waist.
(3) '10'
(4) shade of blue.
Wishes,
(1) attractive birch grey or similar colour.
I agree, the Polo variant is the best.
How about a nice refined polo, similar to redhat certified engineers ones ? with Centos logo and a 10 underneath it - can wear it to work then !!!!

we dont wear ties !!! we can wear polo's and jeans, and when it gets warm we can wear shorts, a nice polo means we can wear it all the time even when clients visit and we have to smarten up !!

That is the real point - something "nice" and something fairly smart that does not resemble a baseball or USA football shirt.
I think a polo shirt with the Centos logo and the word 'Centos' as shown on the illustrated suggestion
is sufficient to be nice. My favoured background colour is a light or birch grey .... obviously sold at an attractive price :-)
Here is a patched version of that original illustration
Something like this
http://www.cafepress.com/mf/54125649/linux-centos_golf-shirt?productId=53140...
with the words "10 Years" underneath, but in a grey like this
http://www.cafepress.com/mf/19257847/linux-red-hat-tshirt_golf-shirt?product...
the sports style would only get worn at weekends, the above style would be worn regularly at work or when at conferences and seminars.

And next year and the year after ? Does one want a souvenir or a wearable smart polo that will last for several years ? Some of mine last more than 10 years.
Will one's collection of polos increase yearly with the 11 version, the 12 version ad infinitum ?
Personally I prefer the wearable smart polo and not a souvenir.

Personally I prefer the wearable smart polo and not a souvenir.
I think the goal for this design, and I could be wrong, is this:
1. Something that looks nice. 2. Something that is decent quality, BUT, can be mass produced to be able to give it away at some upcoming events. 3. Something that looks different enough to also draw attention.
I think that design can do all 3.
It does not really look like a football jersey or an baseball jersey specifically ... it is more like a "sporty" tee. It could be any sport. Baseball jersey's are button down and football jerseys are not tees, etc.
I mean, sure it would be great to mass produce quality polos (or even Blazers if we are wishing for the world) and give them away for free .. but that is beyond the scope of what I think we are trying to accomplish, I think.
The "higher priced" options, if they were implemented, would be much lower quantity and for specific purposes (ie, booth workers at major events/conferences, etc) ... while the "promo give away" stuff would be given away by the hundreds at several events.
Is this the purpose?
If so, I agree that the design posted meets the "promo give away" goal.

yeah, we should do these...
we are also doing the ninja stuff for other times/places and we've got the beard ones to use at some point, but for the rest of this year atleast, we should certainly do the 10 ones.
btw, people complaining about age : I'm wearing my '2004: the old world shall rise' Mozilla Europe book of Mammon edition today :) its over 10 years now, got it at fosdem 2004 Moz devroom. ( https://twitter.com/kbsingh/status/490040795282808833 )
I'd say if we can, lets even squeeze in a 2014 in there onto the centos shirts somewhere. Maybe one of the white borders can have a '2014' in there somewhere ?
Also, worth noting that we will need to do these at scale, since every size and style we do, is going to need its own template, screen, setup etc, if we want the white bands to go all the way around sleves and midriff.

Agreed. We can always do another design later, and I like having something distinctive for the 10th anniversary.
