2009 Fullcount Contest thread

[Denim Phenom]

I haven't had a chance to send all the patches to Gordon yet. I'm on vacation in LA right now so I'll have to hop onto my girlfriend's computer and send them over. I should be getting updates from Gordon this week about other custom stuffs for the jeans.

[moykky]

^^ Damned if you're not celebrated in heaven DP! I'm waiting, yes I am...

[joelz]

Have to say that I'm intrigued as well - I don't think I'd mind rotating these and the Dry Bones.

same thought exactely

[cjbreed]

does anyone else want to see the baseball buddha patches but with a big belly? is that possible?

the belly is a very recognizable aspect of the buddha's appearance, so to me it makes it more clear that the guy is actually buddha

[jimmyc]

kinda like this?

[fre-co]

oh shit.... bin that buddha patch.

[tourangh]

Not gonna lie but I actually like the TR patch. New rep bars are interesting, just noticed it.

[wesc]

oh snap i say no on the buddha then. after that TR post got my scurrrrd

[chantheman]

i still like the top one the best so far

[joelz]

so how would we actually get in on the contest? do we have to pm anyone, or are we just going to have to wait for an announcement?

[Curious_George]

Gordon will likely do pre-orders through the BiG website (as was the case with the Warehouse contest). I suppose once we reach the point of pre-ordering someone will announce it here.

[daveo]

I'm very excited for these to come out...I understand it's a 2009 contest but any clue about when in 2009?

[selaviso]

the beginning of it.

[Denim Phenom]

I have been camping and without phone service for the past couple days so I haven't been able to keep up with the thread. I emailed Gordon to see what furhed developments he has and I'll post those when I get them.

Sorry about the lack of updates but I'm on vacation.

[fre-co]

enjoy your holiday DP, looking forward to an update when you have caught up.

[selaviso]

i think the baseball buddha would look sick with a beard or some facial hair lol

i don't recall saying anything about true religion, or a guitar, or a concert ticket theme, or giving the jeans a person's name, like billy.

but, is it clear to you that the gentleman on the patch is buddha? if so, then yes, kinda like that. but without true religion, or a guitar, or a concert ticket theme, or giving the jeans a person's name, like billy. i think it was more of a baseball theme.

however, this is certainly a good example of how a marketing company would utilize the universal notion of the buddha as having a round belly when integrating him into their branding concept.

geez it was just a question...

but maybe buddha should be out now

[AK47AZ]

I think the buddha in a baseball uniform is unrealistic and odd. It can still be baseball themed without having an actual "person" or "figure". No offense but if those are the patches I wont be buying the jeans.

*edit*

Isn't this kind of like putting a Jesus face on one of the Samurai if it were a Samurai x sufu collab. If Fullcount is so hardcore and down to the roots I doubt they would want a sacred religious figure depicted carrying around a baseball bat in baseball uniform.

[erk]

I like the buddha baseball patch, and frankly believe that it has little/nothing to do with the true religion patch; beyond the fact that they both have representations of buddha.

but in the end I'm down with both the non buddha and buddha baseball patches, so whatever. just dont shoot something down because buddha was used by true religion.

Really? that's a shame.

Oh well, you'll be missed!

[Joe E Taleo]

Isn't that the funny thing? The jeans are Fullcount, we're getting them for ~200 bucks (which is a deal), and to not get them because of a patch (that is going to be covered almost all the time you're wearing them)... That doesn't make sense.

That said, I still prefer the pick-up truck to the baseball Buddha.

[ChattyPuma]

The jeans are Fullcount, we're getting them for ~200 bucks

Oh, that's was already established? I must have missed that. See I thought we were going to be able to negotiate for a lower price before letting the world know it was a good deal

[selaviso]

i dont think there is a forsure price yet... but i think thats the ball park people we are hoping to get.

correct me if im wrong.

[Denim Phenom]

Gordon will be receiving an e-mail from Miki (FC) in a few days regarding our other customization details/options. Hopefully everyone is still interested.

[edmond]

im in god dammit whats taking so long??

[MirrorLockUp]

Buddha did not have a belly. He was actually pretty skinny. You're thinking of Budai, aka the Bodhisattva Maitreya, who is sometimes referred to as the Laughing Buddha, but should not be confused with Siddhartha Gautama, aka THE Buddha.

So really, it shouldn't matter, but I agree that if we added a belly it would evoke the True Religion branding. It's not that it would look exactly the same (not that that was ever the point), but it will certainly remind people of it, which is just kind of trashy IMHO.

[Charlie Delta]

Just to remind everybody that Evis used a buddha in their branding before fucking TR was even hellspawned...
