| C-Bass,
Did we ever get the new hats in from New Era?? If so I'm in extreme need of one. Also, if it is true of everyone who is planning to fly with the 'Birds this year we will have to look at getting new uniforms correct? A little early to think about it but if I had to pick I'd go with royal blue jerseys.

| New Era is basically done. They have been impossible to work with since last year. We'll probably end up going back to Richardson with the existing logo, next best thing to New Era. I am looking into a few options for that as well.
We will at the very least need to get some extra white uni's. The open numbers are 14, 15, 18, and 22 if we get them back from fans that bought them. I wouldn't be opposed to adding a blue top with that. Could probably get a decent jersey for around $40.

| New Era is nice, but if we can't get them to figure it out, anything will be good.
I'm in for any type of new purchases as well (except for Maco's red tank shirts)

| yeah i think blue tops would be nice, since bringing back the grey unis seems to be impossible, that way we would have 2 unis for busy weekends

| As for the hats, Zephyr would also be another decent choice although I don't know what other people think about that? They are cheaper (as I know Richardson would be too) and they are quality. I could also pretty easily rig it up with Zephyr because I know a sales rep. Just a thought, Richardson hats have been good too.

| Benjam I can call up Johan and Bobby to see when they will be around. I was thinking that instead of just getting new unis we could just adopt the name twins and all wear our favorite twin. I call Tom Brunansky. The Midway/Hillview Twins... kinda has a ring to it and we could wear the old sweet M hats the twins wore, eino can probably hook up the jerseys too so we are 1/5 of the way there

| It would be tough for me to get a sample Zephyr Bird hat made because they have minimums on what you have to order to get something made. I'm sure most guys know what Zephyr hats look like, if not I have 5 different ones myself that I could bring to the meeting. Its just a thought because I don't know if any other players like Zephyr hats. Its just another option; C-Bass I will get ahold of the rep and get a quote on prices as well.

| The price is good on the hats. I can't just post it on here because I think it'd be unethical for me being a person in retail ;). If you want to know e-mail me or C-Bass. We need to do a minimum of 72 and I don't think that should be a problem with all of our players and fans. How many did we do last time with New Era C-Bass? We can put a raised Logo on the front and back. I'm assuming of course our regular logo on the front, any ideas for the back? (do we want one on the back). My vote would be to do "gold" for the top button and around the 6 holes on the hat and of course royal blue as the main color on the hat. Any suggestions????
Also, I need hat sizes on Snurdbird players/fans so I can get an estimate on what sizes we need to order. Thank you all.
It takes about 8 to 10 weeks to get custom hats done so we should get this order in by the end of December for sure.

| Puckstar I would just recommend coming to Scheels and trying on one. We don't have a whole lot of Zephyr fitted hats (most are stretch fit) but we for surely have one in MN Wild. It has a big claw on the front.
Sleeper I know you have some estimate on what your hat size was/is. I just need some approximate sizes of what peoples heads are so I can get some idea of what to get. But, even hats from the same company can have a different feel even though they are supposed to be the same size.
Does any fans/players have opinions on what logo to put on the back, or do we even want one on the back?

| petem_buddah, you are on order for the 7 7/8, i'm going to try make sure we have bigger sizes this time because last time they were the first size to go. Puck, I actually kind've like the idea of the Finnish flag on the back, not sure if we would actually be allowed to do that though. I don't think we could do our numbers on the back (unless we wanted to pay more) because I think the logo will have to be one same thing only. Keep the ideas rolling boys. Anymore hat sizes? So far I have sizes for 9 hats.

| I say order about 75 or 100 hats so we don't have to worry about this again. We'll sell 40 +hats right away and have some on reserve.
Nothing on back. If you want yellow on the top button that's fine. My vote is all white but OK with one yellow button.

| Not sure if I need to give you a size since we will be ordering a pile of them anyway. But a few 7 3/8 will suffice. Yellow button on top with white eyelits are my vote, if possible. Nothing on back is fine.

| I say we go with 96. Its a typical amount when ordering stuff (24,72, 96); things that are divisible by 6. If people don't want anything on the back, thats fine with me, that means the order will get in more soon. Yellow button, white eyelets fine with me. I could send the order in now then, and i'll get the artwork back in a couple weeks then we'll see what it looks like, then go from there.?

| Actually a 7.5 would be better eino. as for new uniforms, i think it would be sweet if we got a blue top that said "birds" "snurdbirds" or "midway" across the front in white letters. i like simlpe uniforms myself, so sticking to the plane white and royal would be sweet, just as long as i don't get cut this year.

| In regards to the alternate uni's. I agree with Pete, Blue top with "Birds" in white. Maybe a gold border if we want to get crazy. Also, not sure if many people will be able to make it but I am supervising the weight room at the school from 3:30 to 5:30 M-Th.
Also my current cell # is 218-831-5513. Of course this may change at any time.

| I agree with royal Blue tops, also gotta go with Puckstar that we definitely need some yellow/gold on it. I'm sending the hat order in tonight, should get some artwork back in a couple weeks then the final decision will be made on what colors to get. Talked to C-Bass and he had a good idea; royal blue hat with blue button and gold eyelits.

| Brandino just updated the logo. I didn't know that he had the original t-shirt Snurdbird logo still on file. I agree with him though in sticking with that design. The only change I can think now is going with the light blue or the original royal blue logo.
