Sent them to you this afternoon. I won't be able to put them here til monday or later. If you want put them up here.
The pictures will be posted once I get back to the computer they are on.
What you will see is a pair of grappling shorts which have been modified to what I'm going to call a comp design. Much like Sprawl sells the louder logos as comp models. What I did was take the shorts to a local screen printing place. In case your intrested its name is Sundance and its located in a small town called moberly MO. I left the letttering up to them asking that they mimic the font on the existing logo as closely as possible. After careful thought we decided to mimic the outlined letters of the SSF instead of the solid letters on the logo. This would give additional depth to the letters as we were using a heat transfer process instead of embroidered or sewn on letters. We also used a semi reflective white for our color choice. This ended up looking very sharp against the black shorts.
He couldn't match the font exactly but came up with something a litttle differnt. It was the rounded letter of the SSF but has a double outline instead. I placed the website
www.sssfgear.com on the front of the right leg near the seam.This ran horizonally along th ebottom seam. Above that I intend to place my gym patch much like ATT does on their comp shorts. On front left leg I left the orginal orange, yellow and red logo that was embroidered on the shorts. Above that I'm still not sure what I'm going to do. If anything.
On the back there I wanted to do something difffernt than the front. On the right leg back I put on a Gi patch from SSF along the back seam. This is in silver, black and red. This patch is embroidered and I attached it at home. I think I will get a sherdog patch for above the gi patch. Opposite on the back of the left leg running vertically I placed just SSFGEAR, again in the semi reflctive white. This was just inside the seam for the flex panel. To add intrest the G in gear was made slightly bigger. I don't think I will add anything to this side of the shorts.
The lettering itself is super soft and although a heat transfer product has no raised edge. It feels much like under armour's logos on their micro fiber t-shirts. You can rub a finger nail over it and not feel it.
The shorts themselves were not damaged in the least by the heat transfer process and looking on the inside of the fabric you can not see any of the lettering. I have noticed on other shorts that have heat transfer you see where the tranfer for lack of a better term melted through the fabric. I do not know whether this is because the quality of the shorts or the quality of this transfer process.
Like I said I will post pictures if Ron doesn't first when I get back to my picture computer early next week.
