Headband design

n9jcv · 2005-10-22T04:37:58+00:00

Hello everyone, I am trying to see if there is any interest in this. I have a design for a Headband. I am thinking to have the headbands screen printed. I am looking for the type of headband that is smooth on the outside and has the terry loops inside. These are generally the higher end quality headbands that are sold in bike shops and on line and not like the cheap THICK headbands that you might buy at the dollar store. I have requested a sample headband and waiting to ensure the quality. Anyway, my goal would be to make about 75 of these, as that seems to be the minimum order. I can not promise pricing now, but I am shooting for $4-$5 which would include shipping for a quantity of 1. I think it would be light enough for just 2 or 3 stamps in an envelope. If someone wanted a few I could probably send 3-6 in a priority envelope for about $4. Anyway here is my design. Please let me know what you think. If there is enough interest, I would try to get this done before Christmas. It would be one color. The headband is white and I am thinking purple or blue for the print. +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: headband preview.jpg | |Download: http://www.unicyclist.com/attachment/10298 | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- n9jcv ------------------------------------------------------------------------ n9jcv's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/7844 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/44112

The thin headbands that are at bike shops are good. They're thin enough
that you can wear it under a helmet. I wear one under my helmet when I
use the helmet light and it helps to keep the helmet from sliding down
or moving around as much due to the weight of the helmet light.
But white isn't a good color. It wouldn't stay white very long with
muni use.

'Halo Headbands' (http://www.haloheadband.com/products.html) makes a
couple styles of headbands that tie in back. They're designed with a
special strip that directs sweat away from your eyes.
The things the ganstas wear are 'do-rags'
(http://www.answers.com/do-rag). They're to protect their hair-dos.
To keep the curls tight or other hairstyles tight.

yea, gangstas...
At least pretend not to to clueless guys, please? I think PC is as
retarded as the next guy (case in point), but come on. "Urban style"
maybe? "some black people", I dunno. Just ANYTHING but "gangstas."

Ok, I have revised the design. The logo area is only 1" by 7", so all
the spokes on the wheel are really too much detail that would come out
fuzzy or bad, so I removed the spokes.
So far I can only find white, If I can find black headband, then
perhaps I could print in yellow. Here are the combinations I would
consider;
White headband - blue logo
White headband - purple logo
Black headband - yellow logo

Yes the headband in thin and it is elastic, but on the inside it has
terry cotton/cloth loops, very absorbent. They are thin enough you can
put them on under the helmet and still have your helmet fit well.

Be sure not to take ANYTHING as a parody of Nike or any of it's
competing sports companies. They're very active about not allowing
parodies of their logos and slogans, and even go as far as dealing with
parodies of their stuff.
