View Full Version : ZHP Mafia beenies and t-shirts: Gauging Interest

I am currently in discussions with someone regarding beenies and t-shirts.

The beenies would be black. The ZHP MAFIA would be white. Would anyone be interested in these? They'd be embroidered and be high quality. I'd be selling them for between $15-$18. I only have preliminary pricing at this point, which is why I cannot give you a firm price.

T-shirts would be in the $10-$12 range.

Let me know. I want to know how many I should order.

I'd prolly take one of each.

I'm still waiting for "of inches bowl" gear tbh. Seriously.

Think it was Kayger that posted the perfect pic to go under the quote.
I still laugh every time I think about that thread. Fantastic stuff. Just classic.

Ok fellas. This is going to happen. I will start a seperate thread.

My intention is to offer e46 wear, zhp wear, and zhp mafia wear.

Marcus and I are talking behind the scenes on the final list of items we will offer.

My thinking is this now...but has not been approved.

1. The E46 wear will consist of beamies, key chain lanyards, short sleeve and long sleeve shirts, hoodies.
2. I plan to offer the "you know you own and E46" shirt....but would also like to tailor it to "you know you own a zhp"....so...if someone wants to start working on a list....that would be great.
3. I would like to offer the zhp and zhp mafia wear in the beanie, and ss shirts. If demand is high for the items listed in 1, above, we can do the other stuff as well.

This can bring a lot of outside traffic into the site....and would ask every OG to help out in holding with what we envision on the site.

More to follow. Seperate thread will come with the products.....then we can refine what's offered...then we'll take orders.

DW out.

So....Kevlar wasn't playin huh?


I sent him a pretty lengthy email last night, going over all that occurred in the years of my membership there, pretty much asking to let 'rayzah blade' re-enter the forums, because there really is no way to a. enforce a true ban, b. I'll ever try to part with my e46/NE friends on bf.c. We'll see what happens I spose.

As far as the clothing gang bang. I am in for 2 hoodies, and 4 tshirts.

hoodies-black 1x 3x and 1x M
Tshirts-black 3x medium and 1x 3xxx

Of course ZHPmafia will get a portion of the proceeds and the remaining profit will be given to a local charity that pays for travel for wounded warriors in the san diego area.

It would be more advertisement than you would think. I have hits on my website from all over the world and I never know who is clicking to take a look. It only takes one client to make someone a millionaire and you never know who that person is.

I am also booking some destination shoots in 2011, including St. Louis, Seattle, Denver, and possibly Davenport, IA so far.

I'm a little miffed that they actually made the beenies without running a mockup first. I wanted to see what they'd look like -- before they made them. I guess we'll see how they turned out.

This week I will be starting a new t-shirt thread. Also, I had a heck of a time getting rid of my last beenie, so I will wait until five of you guys want a beenie. Then I will order.

As for the fedora, you have permission to make a classy logo and put it on your fedora. I never have issues with using the ZHP Mafia logo for personal items.

I'd be in for swag. I never got any, except some sweet earrings NC_ZHP (Heather) made us girls. However, I'd really like it to be girl fitment. I realize that would be maybe 5 orders, so maybe there's a way I could buy a one time use on the Mafia Logo and make my own swag?

I think the Boss is undertaking Death Valley, (see what I did there), so we might have to wait for a response.

Nothing in the works right now. The demand probably won't warrant a run, either. Price breaks don't really kick in until you order 50. Many of the members here already have shirts, so I don't see them doing a repurchase.

You might want to go into the secondary market and see if someone will sell theirs to you. Could be expensive, though, as the shirts are extremely rare now. :biggrin
