guess your right, it would be too much information.

It depends on what you're printing on.

On a hat, a logo is plenty - same for the chest design on a polo shirt.

If you're talking about the back of a t-shirt, there's no reason you can't put a phone number on there.
A website would be good too... I'd remember a website a lot easier than I'd ever remember a phone number if I saw it like that.

Thank you I just might do that.

Default Uniform

This will be my second season in business. Last season I wore cargo shorts and a cut off t-shirt. This year I am ordering t-shirts and polos. I have three magnets on my truck that I got from vista print. I do not recommend magnets from vista print. I am on my second set due to peeling. I will be ordering bigger magnets from friend. Archprinting.com

If you have not heard of odesk.com, I highly recommend. I had my logo designed and email to me within three days. Basically you join, post job with what you are willing to pay, review interested candidates,grant job and to work they go. I payed ten dollars for my logo design.

Hope this helps
Paco

Only logo is on my baseball hats bought from Vista Prints the logo matches my business cards also bought from Vista Prints.

Crazy as it may sound I purchase my uniforms from Costco they are some of the best quick dry/wicking outdoor clothes that I have ever bought but at a fraction of the cost =

Pants - BC Clothing zip off quick/dry hiking pants tan and/or OD green = $19.99 each

Shirts - long sleeve Avia white and/or green wicking CoolMax shirts = 14.99 each

Socks - hiking socks 4/package = $9.99 each

Polar fleece 1/4 zipper heavy shirt - lime green = $12.99 each

Other than the hats I feel have no need for a logo on the cloths as far as I am concerned it is a total waste of money all I want is the customer to see that we are dressed in one of the colour combo's so they know that we belong on the grounds.

I hired a new fellow this morning I gave him one pair of tan and one pair of OD green pants, a white and a green long sleeve shirt, 1 lime green polar fleece 1/4 zipper shirt, two pairs of socks and one baseball hat.

If he wants more of these clothes he can go to Costco and buy them himself.
