Merch Idea

It's not about how long it would take. It's more of a how much, how many, and what design to go with thing. All that and the band has to be 100 % in agreement with what they want to put out.

Regarding the differences in those 2 tour shirts you mentioned, the band wanted something more plain with just the tour dates. Just one a few reasons that the design changed from the first to the second version.

Thanks Glenn-

Well with all luck the band will see that there seems to be quite a bit of interest in hoddies so maybe they will give the go ahead and do them. Afterall this will be a late fall early winter tour....makes perfect sense.

As for the different designs on the long sleeves....any chance of going back to the original for the upcoming tour or not?:)

I know, but there is so much asking for it. It shouldn't be that hard to make a design. The 'how much' and 'how many' problems could be solved with t-shirts and other merch too so it should be possible.

Considering that most merchandise vendors have minimum order limits, a few people saying *yeah I'd buy that* doesn't really equate into a big demand, because that's a fraction of the number that'd have to be ordered. Take the Odyssey mugs as an example..LOTS of people said they'd buy one, & ooh'ed and ahh'ed over them..but in reality, the number of people who've bought them is still pretty limited.
 
I'd wear a pink symphony X sweater, I'd actually prefer pink.

Symphony X leather jacket covered in zippers and all that jazz would be rad.

Symphony X denim jacket with a big X written in rhinestones on the back is h0t sounding too.
 
I don't think the selling them at concerts thing will be helpful. At the concerts I've been to that sell hoodies, they're all like $50 or something, and who carries around that much cash to a show?? Buying it online though is different. I think if I got a SymX hoodie I would wear it constantly and my mom would have to pry it off me to wash it...hehe.
 
Why are hooded sweatshirts so much more expensive than non-hooded? I really love hoods, and for some reason they are worth the extra cash, but why? And even if you guys dont feel like making it is there anyway i could get like a customized one? That would rule
 
i bought a mug :grin: .. and next I'm getting a long sleeved shirt, I definately would get a hooded one.. not that i expect people to take my word for it.. its up to the band really, if they think it would be a worthwhile investment.. if they dont oh well we just have to stick to the non hooded shirts. Truth is I'm happy either way.

Yes, I know :) I have the box with your purchases here next to my desk.

If I were to make a prediction, I'd predict that hoodies would exist in some form before an official DVD. Everything will happen in due time.

Actually, I've worked merch for SX and you'd be surprised at how much cash people carry around. :) I think the hoodies would do pretty well at concerts, especially in the fall/winter months because that's when people need hoodies. Besides, after people get all sweaty watching the band, they'll need a nice dry sweatshirt to wear, right? :grin:

P.S. I'd buy a hoodie, too!!
