T-shirt Ideas

I've been thinking of ideas too for the shirts. I love the idea of Motivator or Runner on the front. Even those that don't make it to the marathon, but want to get a shirt should get a motivator shirt I think...

I was thinking it could say something about - Multi-state Family Relay - all in one place (or all in one day...) It kind of depends on keeping up the multi-state relay, but this is playing a big part in keeping me motivated so early on that I'd like to recognize it somehow. Or we can put an "all together now" somewhere...

With that said though, I dont' want a huge long slogan, because I want a lightweight shirt to run in. It is going to be a HOT day. :-)

Yeah, I don't want a super long slogan either, that's what was bugging me about my own idea. I like your suggestions! Everyone who is a motivator, even those who can't make it to Disney, will definitely have to get a shirt.

I am hesitant to use the word 'relay' on the shirts, because I don't want to give the impression that we're doing a marathon relay. Other than that, all good ideas! :)

Good Point. Maybe something along the lines of "everyone got here..." (see above post) Or, "Running on the Shoulders of Family - we got all the rears here."

How about the shorter slogans--something about running, and DAYS, and family, but then underneath have the USA MAP with stars from the different states being represented?

Hayley: Prudie and I loved the comments about standing on the shoulders of giants. Because we are MOMS its so great to see what all our kids , cousins, nephews, everyone is accomplishing. It's so motivating. If these kids can do it so can we!

Hmm, the idea of the map is pretty cool... but instead of stars we could have little running shoes. Haha!

I love the idea of the map with running shoes representing each city or state! I was thinking we could have that and then have lines going outward all connecting to Disney (you know, like the maps of the trajectories that planes take??) I hope that description makes some sense... lol!

In another post B had some suggestions for the t-shirts. Here are his comments:

H and I were talking. We were trying to figure out who is taking part in what races. The reasoning, and I give this credit to H for coming up with the thought, takes us back to the idea of a t-shirt. Let’s say we have 12 people take part in the 3 different races over the weekend. We total up all the mileage they would accumulate and have some sort of shirt design to go something like this:

Oh, Happy Days!
215 Miles
3 Disney Races
1 BIG Family

The mileage obviously would change depending on who is registered for what. Just another idea to play with for the t-shirt ideas. Later this summer I will compile all the t-shirt ideas and send them out for a vote.
