2009 Superfuture Conest - Dry Bones

[kiya]

I far prefer "SuFu" than the "ox"...

[jyoni]

*bad form sorry

[beatle]

If we can do SuFu - that would be great..but please - Katakana - since that would be the appropriate way to write it anway....

Agreed.....

[SLAB]

I agree but lets have a contest in the real Japanese repro way -> English texts on tees from Japanese brands usually dont make much sense either ha

[ThePersonalTrain]

Sign me up.

perhaps Chicken can design a patch with or referring to an ox (since 2009 will be the year of the ox and all that) -> two oxes pulling a jeans in opposite ways would be pushing it i guess :-)

[kiya]

I'm going to be honest here..

i'm not feeling the "ox" theme at all..

[Supawiwi]

I was thinking of the golden gate with japanese clouds like we can see on those old ink paintings we can see

Like you said earlier, it doesn't have to make sense...maybe the patch could be styled after furigana?

As in, the ox kanji, with the su fu kana above it in small script? It wouldn't make sense, but would look like furigana.

sample:

*edit, it would have a meaning of sorts..."su fu 2009"

If engraved leather patch is possible i would much rather have some simple design than a "painted" patch like in the warehouse contest

I agree completely.

Embossed patches have a high minimum order and therefore increase the cost of the jean because you're forced to buy far more than a couple hundred. Where as with a printed patch we can have Dry Bones produce 150, 200, or 225 patches and save quite a bit of money.

how about the golden gate swapped by a wave like revsta posted:

No one likes my idea of tracing the outline of this and putting it on one of the pockets?

[Guest shuka]

the katakana sufu looks really great on the tab, though for me the SF giants style would be perfect as a hardcore giants fan .

[SLAB]

how about these two guys (Aum) on the patch with the Golden Gate in the background or between them

or a Daruma face (although Evisu and other brands used it already I think...)

just thinking out loud here

[james nicolas]

i don't know..

anyone have any ideas they'd like to see made?

[Charlie Delta]

^ how about an embroidered Koi all down the back of the right leg?

And maybe and dragon on the left?

[jyoni]

Wow, that's beautiful man.

I put together this hackjob, lol. Pardon the crudeness. Most people seem to not want the 2009 anyway. Furigana style:

[Supawiwi]

Yes try to do something with the golden gate on the background. Could be nice.

How I'd like to know how to use photoshop

[themexican]

i feel like the tab and the logo in the corner would be too much

but if it could fit on the tab, it'd be great

anyways, here's what it looks liek on a dry bones pocket

So they cant put a tab on the jeans (legal reasons) but if a tab was sent loose couldn't we just sew it on ourselves. really digging the way these tabs are looking

[mr.invincible]

^ that's awesome

without the kanji is pretty slick as well

[Supawiwi]

That's crazy!!

I think we should try to give a Japanese touch to keep it real. Let's see what we coud add.
