KICKBALL LEAGUE
OF ROCHESTER
    
 
SUMMER '16 T-SHIRT DESIGNS - DUE 6/1
Basic Contest Outline

 

It's time to design the back of the 2016 Summer Kickball T-Shirt.

For the past couple of years we've turned some of the creative control over to you. This is your kickball league, so let's have fun with it. 
 
Here's how this goes down
 
Grab a pen, a pencil, or something that leaves your mark. Now grab a napkin, some paper, or open up that sweet paint application on the Windows 95 OS install at your grandma's house... 
 
Now start drawing, doodling, scribbling, and CTRL+C'ing and +V'ing your design... We hear the spray can tool works wonders too...
 
All Done? Good! Now take a picture of it, screenshot it, save it, scan it, click the floppy disc icon, whatever... just digitize it somehow into a .PNG, .JPG, .JPEG, .AI, .EPS, or .PDF format.
 
Now get it to us... digitally... to Info@RocKickball.net 
 
We'll pick the top three or so submissions that fit within the outlined criteria and we'll post them on the KLOR facebook page in an event page so we can poll the options. Our facebook fans will tell us who wins! Again, KLOR picks the top 3 or so and then the KLOR facebook fans pick the winner. Why facebook? Well, why not? It's easy, free, and we don't have the time to sort through the cheaters who vote for themselves multiple times. 
 
The winning design gets to be printed on the back of all of the Summer 2016 Kickball T-Shirts and the artist wins a KLOR Pint Glass... maybe something else too, but only if we're feeling saucy... You'll never know unless you try.
 
The Outlined Criteria:
  • Incorporate Labatt into it somehow (no glass bottles, duh!). It's in our contract with them as the league beverage sponsor to be on the back of the t-shirt. They make Labatt in a can which is perfect for... well, you get the idea....Plus, they're producing some of their newest refreshing beverages here in Rochester. Yup, those tasty little flavors like Blue Light Lime, Labatt Shandy, etc... So why not support some of the local workers at one of the largest and oldest continually operating breweries in America? Do it for Rochester.
     
  • Keep it plain, Jane. Anything too complex will drive us insane and be a pain in the booty to screen print. We have to get this design on thousands of T-shirts, and get them all to you before the season starts. Basically, we can't have Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel on the back of the T-shirt. 
     
  • We'll be printing the majority of the design in white, However, we have options for a few colors. Look at an old Kickball T-shirt. We may be printing it on over 90 different t-shirt colors; whites and lights excluded from T-shirt fabric colors. Therefore, we print in white so it shows up better. It's also cheaper, keeps the league fees down... yadda yadda yadda. The fewer colors the better, but you could potentially use blue, red, black, grey... whatever colors in are the Labatt logo. Don't re-invent the wheel, but sometimes the squeaky wheel gets the grease. 
     
  • You have the option to incorporate "RocKickball.net" into your design. If not, we'll put it above your design on the back of your shirt. Yes, we're lame, but we still want to plug ourselves when you wear your T-shirt to the bar, Zumba, or church. And yes, the R & K need to be capitalized in the website name. Haha, those also happen to be Ryan's initials... fitting... 
     
  • We reserve the right to print and re-print your design. It's going to become part of the KLOR culture, but you get brag about it...
     
  • We reserve the right to tweak your design before it's put out for voting and/or printing. It comes with the territory with printing a design. Maybe a color won't print well, maybe your image is too wide, maybe we're replacing your oddly sketched kokopelli with the actual KLOR version. We basically just want this to print properly, be tasteful, and look snazzy. We might take some liberties with it a little, but we'll give you credit as the inspiration behind the design if anyone were to ask. So you're not allowed to get upset, especially if we're accepting designs drawn on a bar napkin which you took a picture of, filtered, put on Instagram, took a screenshot, then e-mailed to us, and we had to re-design digitally.
     
  • We must receive your design by June 1st @ Noon. We need to have time to tweak them, put them out for voting, get the winner to the printer for mock up/approval, and be ready when we send out our shirt order...
     
  • .PNG, .JPG, .JPEG, .AI, .EPS, or .PDF format only. It must also come in an e-mail to Info@RocKickball.net
     
  • We'll do our best to work with whatever you send us. We're really just looking for ideas here. A sketch, a doodle, a smashterpiece, heck, just write a paragraph of what you'd like to see on the back. Just put an image in our heads and we'll run with it, and kickball it back to ya. Game on Rochester.
P.S. Here's the ideas that we're voted on from the last few seasons:
