New design K-F Club t shirt
« on: August 20, 2014, 09:15:20 PM »
There is an old Kaiser Frazer Club t shirt on ebay for an asking price of $125.00.  I think that it is time for a new design club t shirt that doesn't use the same emblem as the Kaiser Frazer parts and service sign.  I would sure buy one!  Is anyone else interested?

On a related note, is it possible to buy the nice K-F service signs that were made available at the national? I wasn't able to be there.

I'm sure that a polo style shirt could be offered too as they would be very popular.  Kaiser Frazer actually offered t shirts to the dealers in 1951 to encourage the dealers to donate them to children's sports teams.  They had Kaiser, Henry J and Frazer names on the front and the dealers name could go on the back of the shirt.  Has anyone ever seen one?  I only have the order form.

The KF museum will be offering both T and polo shirts as part of their fund raising effort. No firm decision on designs yet, but we're working on it!

The K-F museum should not start planning fundraisers until the 501c3 corporation gets formed & certified by the IRS.  Otherwise, there's nothing to raise funds for, right?

I would be in favor of Polo type shirts being available as well as baseball type hats with an embroidered  patch.  I currently wear one from the USNS henry J kaiser and it starts plenty on conversations at local meets.  It's also the closest that I can get to something connected to the club.

I've always wondered why these items were never available from the club.

The only club-related clothing I ever see is that created for each National Convention. I've seen t-shirts, golf shirts and ball caps. Years ago (like 30), someone made club patches but haven't seen one in years.

I just ordered another Henry J tee shirt for a granddaughter from Weaz-tee, we now have about a dozen in the family. I also have two Henry J hats.

Museum related shirts will be a great item down the line but we need a nice tee or polo shirt soon as they will do a great job of promoting the club.  The cost to the manufacturing fund should be small and the investment could be repaid quickly and we would have a nice product that would sell now and in the future.  If we added hats or caps a large supply of" Kaiser", "Frazer"," Henry J"," Darrin"," Genuine Kaiser Frazer Parts and Service" and "Kaiser Frazer Owners Club" patches are already made and available to members.  Who else would like a nice tee or polo shirt?

Gordie,

That's a good idea!  As far as memory serves, the club itself never did clothing as we've been running close to the edge financially and before we can sell this kind of thing, we need to have inventory.

Nice golf shirt with a pocket and perhaps embroidered club logo opposite the pocket.
