Jimmy Up & Shift-Lock.net Collab

[Jimmy Up]

Hey guys (and the few girls that are on here), so check it out. Very recently the people over at Jimmy Up (me) have been working closely with the people over at shift-lock.net (cfrost) to come up with something new and sick for drift-people everywhere. We are planning on doing a lot of shirts throughout this Formula D season to show support for our boy Colin Frost driving out there. This is just the first mock up we came up with. I will be updating www.jimmyup.com (http://www.jimmyup.com) daily with updates of the shirt designs and info on how colin is doing out there when this whole thing goes underway, but rght now- we need you.

We used one of his most popular sticker designs and made it shirt-friendly and we are still working on color schemes (maybe doing 2 or 3 color ink) as well as final design. But I feel like in this case, less is more ;) and the white on purple gives a nice contrast so you can actually see the design, plus I think it's hot.

As of right now, AS ALWAYS, we need some feedback from you guys. Anything from layout to color to the design itself LET US KNOW. Once we get the design where we want it, then we will be posting updates. Also, this shirt is not car specific as you can see and we are going to try to go EXTREMELY large with it offering it to much more than the 240sx/Z scene.

So POST UP!!!

Let me know any opinions or suggestions on the shirt, any personal hate towards either parties involved in this super collaboration, this isnt the thread lol.

Thanks again guys,
Mike Mancuso
Jimmy Up

P.S. Colin thanks you too. haha

ehhh
seems too bold and cheesy

[snowmants]

I would change the fonts to something more cursive-y and I would go with different color scheme. Maybe I just dont look good in purple....?
Awesome Idea though. Would also like to see--I'm killing it, and Bounce on the devil...

[Jimmy Up]

damn- youre a fast reader, thanks for your input good sir

[HyperTek]

be cool on the back, and maybe a smaller print on the front?

[MrFixIt]

Nice. Looks pretty good. I like the purple, but I know some people are probably gonna have something to say about it. But then again you said you're looking at different colors so....

In my very humble oppinion, something's not quite right about it. I can't put my finger on it. Maybe if the lettering was slanted at an angle? I dunno...

EDIT: 2 or 3 posts up had a good idea. I think an "I'M KILLING IT" shirt would sell better, although it would make it harder to market to non-drifting peeps.

[snowmants]

ehhh

+1 work on the font......

[Jimmy Up]

This is why I love you guys.


So much feedback



so quick lol

[Sonic Motor]

i think we all know cfrost more for the im killing it sticker =]

[snowmants]

why not just do an exact replica of the sticker on a tshirt? seems to be a proven winning design already. :) I would love to see bounce on the devil.....

QFT

I also agree with the first post.

[Jimmy Up]

Really?

Speak up guys- If thats what you guys are down for, we'll do it lol.


That's the point of this thread.

[MrFixIt]

i think we all know cfrost more for the im killing it sticker =]

Just an idea, roll with me here...

"I'M KILLING IT" in a large font on the front, with "Jimmy Up: Promoting Hard Driving and Safe Sex" On the back in the classic font, across the shoulders maybe. The ultimate SL/Jimmy UP mash-up :P

[Jimmy Up]

haha- well we dont want you guys to be billboards.


But im rolling with you- thats for sure, especially with that avatar HAHAHAHAHA

[MrFixIt]

Hahahaha, mucias gracias. It's a tattoo :keke:

[blueshark123]

I rather not get a shirt that says live and die by the rwd i think its kind of chessey on shirts although if u did a shirt that had im killing it put me down for one please lol cause that doesnt really refer to just cars so u wont look like a car geek with that shirt. ps i like the purple

[Jimmy Up]

If you guys wanna kick it old skool- we got old skool.

Here is the OG one, I'm working on a new option as well

Ahhh... Much better, except ditch the K and G on the sleeves, add the "I'M" and do it in the 'sticker' font if you know what I mean. Everyone's a critic lol

[Jimmy Up]

Yea, that was an ode to the old Shorty's skate shirts lol.

Looks like we might be going with the I'm Killing It tees first.


WE NEED MORE FEEDBACK THOUGH!!!

[JDM_inspired]

too much action for my taste. you really cant go wrong with clean and simple. imho, nothin beats the original. maybe shift-lock.net can be centered in the upper back off the tee?

[Jimmy Up]

Well I am working on a little collab logo for all the shirts we are gonna do. That way it doesnt have 2 seperate logos on it.

Sicknasty. I'd be super duper interested if it somehow incorporated the "I'm Killing It" and "promoting hard driving and safe sex".

[Jimmy Up]

Mind you I did this in 3 minutes, but if you guys want something like this- we can make that shit happen

[Jimmy Up]

Also- just to make sure its not the purple throwin you guys off lol

[Sileighty_DRFT89]

^ I like the I'm killing it, I don't quite know what I think of the purple though. the collab would be tight too.

[Jimmy Up]

way to ninja edit puto

[Sileighty_DRFT89]

haha. well you posted just as I was posting my feedback for the i'm killing it shirt homie. I'll be visiting you soon. I need a new jimmy up sticker for the cress

[S13_SideWayz]

hmmmmmm the live&die in black n white does sell it a lil better.
the I'm killing it. i kno u did a quick sketch. bt needs some flare to it seems a little too simple.

[s13.dark1]

instead of the rwd use toe heel kick!!! hayaa! and slide great idea 4 shirts

[ericcastro]

you cant do an "im killing it" or a "bounce on the devil" one.
Those kinda belong to other people in the drift community.
I like the shirt, Its just to big.

[Jimmy Up]

Doesnt I'm Killing It belong to Colin? lol

[MrFixIt]

Yesssssss. Think you could throw togeather the same "kiling it" design but w/ the words angled a bit? Like 45 degrees maybe?

[westin]

I like the bounce on the devil idea but the killing it one is sick with jimmy up across the shoulder blades. The live and die one is cool didn't like it in the purp but the white and black sold it nice. needs a jimmy up logo somewhere though!

[Jimmy Up]

Look at it like watching the Dodgers spring training.

You see how they are going to do, but there game faces aint on yet. haha.

These arent final products, we are gauging some interest- seeing what you guys like and dislike.

Ill move the other designs to the op

[ZilviaKid]

pretty sure Bounce on the Devil belongs to Jay Z actually...

as much as id like to see it on a shirt, a lawsuit wouldnt bode too well.

[Jimmy Up]

Thats EXACTLY why we are not going to be doing it lol.

[SlideKing92]

I love the shirts how they are, deffinately going to pick one up off you mike, and an umbrella girl.

[Dustxking]

Loving the collab. Purple and white is a b/a color scheme. Loveing the bright colors. Use some gold!?!? maybe
Also I also agree maybe try a little bit different fonts. just to see. The OG tee is super sweeeettt.
More colors more fonts. Also maybe some STICKERS!?!?!??

[S13_SideWayz]

bring back another umbrella grl!!!!

[Jimmy Up]

lol- I still have a ton of gold flake umbrella girl shirts, I still get an order for one here and there though lol.

I updated the OP with just black& whites.

Check em out

[pinkarrowsnow]

def make the im killing it I have the sticker and would love the shirt :)

[Jimmy Up]

yea its simple, but that shit is cool haha

[JAYTRON]

I'd buy both if the way they are as long as they came in black with white lettering. I like the plain and simple look

[MrFixIt]

Seriously. Just throw the Jimmy Up "hard driving, safe sex" on the back, sit back, and count the money.

[Jimmy Up]

haha- we'll see- we need some more feedback.

[soreballz]

The "I'M KILLING IT" stickers are played out... I'd put the shirt in the same played out bucket.

[drifter_for_life06]

make both shirts in black with white lettering and id buy both....as mrfixit said...throw the Jimmy Up "hard driving, safe sex" on the back and call it a day....would sell me no problem

[gotspins13]

Really?

Speak up guys- If thats what you guys are down for, we'll do it lol.


That's the point of this thread.

yupp i think it would look good=]

[Z33dori]

why not just do an exact replica of the sticker on a tshirt? seems to be a proven winning design already. :) I would love to see bounce on the devil.....


i also like this idea.....

[zorak]

sticker t-shirt = win.

i would buy that instantly.

[Jimmy Up]

We might have to just do that...

Thanks for the feedback guys.

[Slidin240Wayz]

why
sooo
big?

[THE PROPHET]

Because size DOES matter........hehe

[Jimmy Up]

why
sooo
big?


thats what she said :naughty:

[MunsonAuto]

Both look badass and i'll definitely be buying both either way if they're made!

[DeadlyZ33]

I'd buy the im killing it shirt if it was small enough to write all the words on one line. the font/sizing looks non uniform right now and bothers me.

[240cracker]

that shits hard

print it ill buy it

[DataXUnknown]

I like the live and die by the RWD one, the I'm killing it one though, maybe try putting it all together and angled maybe a bit smaller to fit it? Or maybe just straight up vertical along the side? It looks kinda weird with
I'm
Killing
It

Haha. but I like it, definitely a wonderful collaboration. Maybe put Shift-Lock.net and JimmyUP somewhere on it like the back or the bottom.

[Jimmy Up]

OK, Im gonna be workin on some more stuff- Thanks guys.

[Icy13]

Live and die by the RWD should be very small and in red on the front (Think hitchhikers guide to the galaxy, and the evil version that says "Panic," I am a nerd lawl)

Two, you could also do it larger but slanted and written in tire treads (as in skid marks) also in red, perhaps dripping (aka, die...)

Either option would take a saying that some are thinking might be cheesy and make it alittle more 'serious,' -ish


Anyway, 0.02, take it or leave it :)

[reaxion]

id def be interested in some of those, but I like all the suggestions made so far

[Jimmy Up]

Ok, so I will be starting some new renderings today and I will open a new thread by sunday night.

Thanks for all the feedback on these, guys. VERY helpful.
