T-Shirts! I am starting conversations with our printer. I know what you are thinking: Its about time. And yes, we will get some women’s cut shirts this time. But what should they say? We are thinking the EmerFit logo on the front and we’d like to get our URL and phone number on the back but what slogan? Submit your ideas to the comments or email them to me.

    You should do some sort of graphic contest for the design of the tshirt! I know some very talented artists that would probably love a challenge…

    CrossFit Snohomish had a slogan contest early this year. Slogans were submitted and voted on, and the winner received a free shirt with their slogan on it. I have a couple of ideas, one involving Jeff, but I will wait for the campaign to official begin. I do like the Emerfit slogan, such a true statement, “Train here, Succeed out there.” The website is a good idea, but the phone number may be to much for a shirt with a ton of other information on it.

    I have to agree with Eric, less is sometimes more. I think a slogan contest sounds like a good idea too.

    I found this link, there are some good ones on here, but some of them don’t really have that warm, fuzzy, “come workout here” feeling. Check it out and get your creativity flowing…..

    here are some ones I researched that I thought were funny… We may want an original one… but these are just too funny…. I think that the emerfit tagline should be on the front ( isn’t it a part of the logo anyway) and then the slogan contest winner on the back

    I want a tee shirt! could we get window clings?

  7. Diego on November 10th, 2008 7:35 pm

    I read on the the harborcity crossfit one that says “Look Better Naked”…

  8. Chris on November 10th, 2008 9:04 pm

    If we decide to use a slogan that one of you posted here or emailed me you will certainly get a free T-Shirt. Consider the campaign open, I want to get some of these puppies ready before Christmas. And I expect to be getting more made regularly from now on.

    Good point about the phone number. I’ll make sure to get some of you to look at the proofs or I’ll post them to the blog.

    Cat, I’ve got window clings and stickers on the list. I hope to have an answer for you by the end of the month.

    YES! NEW T SHIRTS! ” The only thing that will suck more than today is tomorrow!” What yall think?

    Crossfit gets you ready for Living (as Rx’ed)

  11. Eric on November 11th, 2008 9:28 am

    I’ve always liked, “Train not to Suck at Life,” or “Twice the fitness, half the time,” but originality is always a bonus.

  12. Ayn Toppin on November 11th, 2008 12:38 pm

    Lauren had a shirt on the other day that said” Consider your a*& kicked”, I like the double meaning ,but it’s not necessarily family friendly:)

  13. Chris McMahon on November 11th, 2008 1:10 pm

    I do like the equation:

    Power = (Force x distance)/time.

    But I am an engineer. Also this has been used on some other crossfit t-shirts.

    Hell, I’ve been collecting quotes for years!

    “Hell, there are no rules here, we’re trying to accomplish something!” - Thomas Edison

    “In nature there are neither rewards or punishments - there are consequences.” - Robert Ingersoll

    “You can kill me, but you cannot defeat me.”

    “I’ll put you through hell, but at the end of it all we’ll be champions.” -Bear Bryant

    “What I need is someone who will make me do what I can.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson

    “We do not rise to the level of our expectations. We fall to the level
    of our training”

    “The iron ore thinks itself senselessly tortured in the blast furnace: the tempered steel blade looks back and knows better.”

    “Some one once told me the definition of Hell: The last day you have on earth, the person you became will meet the person you could have become.”

    I could go on for days, but I’ll stop here.
