This is a call out to all of the great guys, here and especially the staff. I was thinking of possibly having "KitMaker Network" gear. Some examples would be: cups/mugs, shirts, hats, stickers all bearing the KitMaker logo. This would also be a great way to fund the site(possibly lowering subscriptions costs even more). Who is with me?

As for me, I think I wouldn't buy.
But I think that it would be interesting idea, especially when staff members could get t-shirts for free or with 50% discount to promote site at shows

Armorama and other Kitmaker sites did have a LogoWare store where you could buy stuff with site logo (on some you could even add your callsign)... I can't find the store now though.

Personally, I would like a hat and shirt. Things like that I would wear to club meets and conventions. I think this would raise the numbers of people using the KitMaker Network.

Could just have a patch made that is compatible with the Squadron ball cap

Maybe one day you feel Armorama next day Aeroscale or heck just KitMaker

We did this long ago of course and the 'shopping' tab we use to have on the site is still in the archives. Here it is:

Consider one mug sold.

Ok, for UK and Europe members I can produce them for £10.00 plus postage and packing. I could add the users Callsign if required.
Is there any interest?

Bulldogs have a different design that the members put together a few years back, details are in the Bulldogs members section.

I'd be game for one - what kind of logo would it have? (Big A preferred, but if it had both Armorama and Kitmaker that'd be good too...)

The reality is that if it exists in a digital format or can be scanned then it can be produced. Mugs have a relatively wide print area (panoramic), the image is manipulated on the computer and then printed using specific ink and paper before being pressed.
The results are dependent on the original so as long as the source image is ok then it looks great. So yes you could fit the Armorama and Kitmaker logo on a mug. Because I own the equipment I can test print anything new to ensure that it will print correctly.

How come Aeroscale and HF get the funky colours, while Armorama gets white or marl? Am I missing out on some much cooler scene that's happening on those sites??
