Following a few suggestions on the MFC t-shirt competition thread I have been persuaded to get some Air Jurrah t-shirts made up, with the profits going to the Mt Theo program in Yuendumu.

I've looked into it and for time and money purposes it is much easier to do it with online t-shirt companies that can print and even distribute the t-shirts directly, with a commission sent to myself which I will then pass on to the Mt Theo program. The issue is that to do it this way the deign cannot breach copyright and the Air Jurrah design clearly does that as I just made a few adjustments to the Air Jordan logo. Obviously this is just a small venture but if I can avoid any legal issues I will at all costs.

Therefore, I have been playing around with a free Photoshop program called Gimp and have come up with some alternate and original Air Jurrah designs (based off his Mark of the Year photos). Personally, I would much prefer to use the original Air Jurrah but if it is going to be done properly I think it's easier to just leave it. Below I have made a quick example of something, not final just an idea (I had trouble getting a clean outline of Jurrah, hence the filter I put on the image).

Therefore, what I would like to know is if you would still be interested in Air Jurrah t-shirts if they aren't the original design and if so would you be interested in something similar as per the design below or is it not worth it at all?

Any feedback would be great.

To be honest - I think I like the air Jurrah 2.0 better! Just my opinion.

Other option - sell the original Air Jurrah file to us individually, then we can get our own tshirts printed up. Not sure if that is a realistic option or not - just throwing it out there!

If anyone wants to use the Air Jurrah image and get it printed themselves they are more than welcome. The paying for the shirts option just came up after a suggestion from Jaded to donate profits to a good cause.

Nice work CB.

The writing could be Red over Blue with White outline? Or a dark Red.

love it. I will buy one.

Whats the profit margin for $20,30,40??

I thing $20.

you'll sell more because its cheaper and make more profit

I think keep the design.

And typically the t-shirts you get through these types of companies aren't very good quality t-shirts. Try and get t-shirts that have a loose collar around the neck,

Depends on the site, there are a lot around. Some sites have a fixed commission where they set the price and the commission always stays the same while for others you choose the commission but higher commission means higher price.

HAVE WE ANY COPYRIGHT LAWYERS ON HERE THAT CAN ADVISE US HOW TO GET AROUND THIS ISSUE. THE ORIGINAL DESIGN EPITOMISES LIAM AND IT WOULD BE A SHAME TO LOSE IT.

Do you mean copyright of the image, or the title, 'Air Jurrah'?

If it's the Title, what if > Ayre Jurrah?

Maybe contact the club to see where it sits for the T-shirt comp regarding copyright... Maybe they will pay royalties to the right people to use/alter the logo.

I know that you wanted to do this separately but if you add in the marketing of the club and then the distribution as official wear you will see a lot more of the Air Jurrah shirts then just those willing to purchase here...

Great work - i'd buy one of either designs. Agree with those who say that the 1st design has the most charm due to the air jordan connotations etc

In terms of copy right, im not expert in the matter but there are plenty of shirts sold in shops like "crazy Tee's" etc which are parodies of popular brands etc? Not sure if simialr shops exist in Vic, but they are around in Perth. My point is that these parody shirts that you see around and are sold in shops; Vaginamite (Vegemite), Nofriendo (nintendo) etc are basically the exact same logo as the well known brands, but they just change a few letters or words. I'd be interested to find out what loopholes they go through to presumably be able to print the shirts without copy right issues?

I have zero expertise however this may be the loophole you are interested in...

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
