    Tournament shirts

    Do you guys have a new shirt made every time you get a new sponsor ?

    Thanks

    No Sir, I normally just use a Sharpie and draw in the new sponsor logo. I've been giving some thought to ditching the shirt altogether and just getting sponsor tats all over my upper body. The only drawback would be the necessity to fish every tournament bareback.

    Did you mean tramp stamp? I think the Bass Mafia Coffin would be appropriate.

    I wont be able to get a tramp stamp until I get the "Thug Life" tat removed from my lower back...I got that one in 9th grade after we won the state mathletes competition. That is what started the competitive fire in me that has lead to a life of tournament fish'n.

    I always wondered how you guys handled that...Do you have a picture of your face on your jersey or do you just print "SELF" on both sides of the shirt?

    If you will simply use the washable markers, then you can keep the same shirt longer.

    You lose a sponsor or they pony up some extra dough/supplies and they want their logo enlarged or moved....no problem!

    I use a Velcro shirt. Easy on,...easy off. I'm pretty sure the touring pro's will be using the same thing in the next 3-5 years.

    I used to have a Toyota sponsor. My tournament shirt said A TOYOTA in huge letters across the back. I got a call once right as I was landing a really big fish from my sponsor complaining about my shirt. Seems I had accidentally put it on inside out and the logo was backward. Boy was I embarrassed.

    I'm sponsored by my Mom. So I got an "M" tat on each butt cheek. I fish bottonless, when I bend over to land a fish everyone can see "MoM". Problem solved!

    Along with a new shirt is the stress of coordinating a new matching hat and shoes. It just never ends!

    That's a great idea, because you could do a handstand every time you catch a big fish and it would say "WOW".

    Yea, me doing a handstand. Don't think that's going to work, unless someone wants to help me.

    The group I fish with does a new shirt at the beginning of the season. If a sponsor is added mid year they would be on next years shirt - assuming that they keep participating next year. They do get added to the website, newsletter, and are mentioned at the tournaments/meetings.

    We don't have individual sponsors. The sponsors help support our group.

    Right...you would probably have a hard time recruiting helpers if you were standing there with your pants around your ankles...
