King Tees Finalized

by Tyler Bleszinski on Dec 18, 2005 6:27 PM PST in News

All right, ladies and gentlemen. Here are what the final Bill King tee shirts will look like. Please let us know in the comments what size and style tee shirt you would like.

You aren't officially placing an order. This will just give our company an idea as to how many to order of each type of shirt.

Sorry, we don't have any examples of what the girly tees will look like, but they are similar in color scheme.

Here is what they look like...

First, the green tees:

Now, the green and gold tee:

And finally, the white tee:

Again, just let me know your size and quantity(remember the throwback tees run a smaller size that you would usually wear). Once again, all of the profits associated with this tee will be donated to the A's Community Fund which has promised to then donate it to the Smuin Ballet per Bill's family's request.

Thanks, folks. Unfortunately, these probably won't get to you in time for the holiday. But please order generously.

Green and gold throwback: we'll take one XXL, and two S

Question/caveat: Will there be kid sizes for any of these? If so, I'd delete the two S throwbacks and sub in two kid ones, any style tho pref the hep old school ones.

Many, many thanks for this very cool tribute. I'll be proud to wear mine.

pricing...

we don't know exact pricing yet, folks, but ballpark, we're looking at about $17-$18 for the shortsleeves, and $22-$24 or so for the 3/4 sleeve
hope that helps - we're also considering leaving the back print off, no one was stoked about it, as it seems, and it got mostly negative commentary. Plus the shirt would be cheaper without it - anyhow, thought you should know -

by asadasam on Dec 19, 2005 11:13 AM PST reply actions

oh, and sizing

forgot to mention - the 3/4 sleeve vintage tes only go up to 2X, as do the melange green - nothing we can do about that, as that's up to the shirt manufacturer. The white tees we can get in any size, however. Plus, the girly shirts will be available in the melange green (with ringers on sleeve and neck) and white, but the company that makes the 3/4 sleeve vintage tees doesn't do them in a 3/4 sleeve.

If there's a huge uprising from the girls, wanting a vintage color tee, we can get the ringer version in the swingin A's green and gold.

I would like to know how the ladies sizes compare to men's sizes. I am just not entirely sure what size I would wear.

Ok, let me ask this. If I know I wear a men's medium, would that be a ladies Large, or XL? I know when I purchase shirts at the games, I usually buy mediums since they are all Mens shirts, how do these compare to other shirts that can be found at games?

Point is, I know I want one, I am just not sure about the size.

The A's signed Joe Kennedy to a $2.4 million one

year deal. Wow. Lot's of money. This is the other interesting tidbit from the Chron.

Kennedy is the first of eight arbitration eligible players on the A's to agree to a contract for 2006. The A's have until Tuesday to agree to terms or offer arbitration to seven other players: right-handers Kiko Calero and Juan Cruz, catcher Adam Melhuse, infielder Mark Ellis and outfielders Hiram Bocachica, Milton Bradley and Bobby Kielty.

The A's also announced that catcher John Baker was claimed on waivers by the Florida Marlins.

So what are they going to do about Calero, Cruz, etc.? I bet Cruz has to go through an arb hearing and probably Melhuse. Everyone else will get deals. What does the rest of the family think?

Wasn't Baker a big piece of Moneyball?

Oh well. Now I'm glad they traded an unproven prospect for Uncle Milty.

Love the long-sleeve T!

need (2) X-Large green & gold long sleeve "T", as pictured. Wonderful stuff! Thanks for doing this.

dude! excellent!

I'd buy the green one and the green/gold long sleeve. I'm not too sure how the sizes go, but it would either be a small or a medium.

even the white one looks cool. i might buy that one later.

I'd love a couple

but the $64,000 question; can you ship them overseas? If I can order a couple sent to the UK, then count me in for 2 XL 'Greenies'.

green and gold long sleeves

1 XL if XL means XL and not what it means in China which is small. I will be coming home for good on Jan. 11th so cannot order or pay until then, if that is ok.

Great Look

Women's sizes and styles

What will be available for women? I love the retro tee, but I read somewhere that it is not available in women's sizes. Is that so? Will there be a small men's available in the retro style? That might work for me.

When will you have styles, sizes and prices and be ready to take orders?

Will the A's let you put an ad on their site? Wouldn't it be cool to have 20000 people show up on opening night with Bill King shirts on? Bet you could sell more through their site--maybe Mychael Urban can give these shirts a plug in one of his columns.

White Girly Shirt

I would like the White Girly Shirt.. not sure what size, possibly L maybe XL depends on how they fit.

by oaklandbbfan on Dec 20, 2005 5:29 PM PST reply actions

One XL Throwback

I usually wear an XL, so does that mean I want to order a L? If so, make it a L instead.

Great looking shirts!

Awesome tribute

(new posting here too, longtime reader)
You can put me down for a men's large throwback green/gold and a women's large of the same design for my equally A's obsessed wife!
And a Large all green design (men's) for St. Patty's Day, too!

by still bills kingdom on Dec 20, 2005 10:17 PM PST reply actions

Long time troll, first time post here...

Put me down for one large and one xl throwback.
AND....
ne xxl, one large, and one med greenie...5 total.

Loved the logo since the first design. I even like the yellow one. Great design!
I was thinking that bumperstickers or bannners would do well too....

Another idea too...It's for a good cause, (so the A's might approve it), how 'bout setting up a booth on opening day or sell them in the parking lot??

Let us know how much, when and where to make out the checks....

by Yuck the Fankees on Dec 20, 2005 10:57 PM PST reply actions

it'll depend on pricing

but assuming it's reasonable, i'd like a green on green women's medium

thanks! these are awesome!!
