Working on the SITEC logo for 2015

Here are 3 designs that I've come up with for the SITEC logo. We already had some suggestions to make the swim, bike, and run guys larger, so I'll see what I can do to size them up a little.

These designs were made to put on any singlet or tri-top. The goal is so that people have a choice of either go with the clothing available or buy their own blank singlet or shirt or top and have this thing easily screen-printed onto the fabric.

Both the light and dark designs have only 2 color inks, so the prices should be cheaper than a more elaborate design. And hopefully the design has the instant eye-catching effect and recognition from others with just one short glimpse of the logo.

Here are the designs that I have now...this is the one for a light background...

Logo can be used with white or light colored fabric.

And here are two for the dark-colored or black background...

Dark logo #1...

Dark logo #2 - with gray as the primary color

I'll be sending these out to a screen printer for quotes starting the first week of February, so stay tuned. If you have any input on these, let me know. I'm always open to suggestions. :-)

Our 2015 Race List. Let's get out there!

Hey guys...glad to see a lot of you this past Saturday! Couple of things said at the meeting...we are trying to get a simple way of screen printing our club name onto singlets, triathlon tops, and other things. Possible options might include local entities like Special Tees, Shortstop or R&L in Staten Island where we can get them done in a pinch.
Secondly, races were discussed in which to come out with numbers, hopefully with the new uniforms. We will come out in numbers for these races:

May 24 - Nav-E-Sink 1.2 and 2.4 mile swims in Rumson, NJ ( http://www.splitsecondracing.net/NSS ).

June 13 - Pancake Triathlon on Staten Island ( http://www.greenbrookracing.com/Pan.html ).

 
July 11 - Coney Island Aquathon and Swims (Brooklyn invades our territory; why not invade theirs this year? ;-)  ). Link here: http://www.citytri.com/blog/

August 9 - Staten Island Triathlon ( http://www.nytc.org/dbacceptance.cfm?ID=22 )

Also one more thing to mention. The Jersey State Triathlon on July 18 is a USA Triathlon Club Championship. I will be writing an email to get the RD there to hold several slots for our club to utilize for that race. When you register, you will be shown a menu with our club listed. Choose it to be a part of the team!
I will place these on the club's website ( http://sitriathlon.gofarthersports.com ) later today.

P.S. I'm also probably going to list War at the Shore Triathlon soon, but I'm waiting on whether the RD would give us a $15 discount for that race. I'll let you know soon.

Anyway, good luck to everyone in planning their 2015 season!

SITEC is again an official USA Triathlon club in 2015!

FYI...We are official again in 2015!

I'll drink to that! Here's to a memorable 2014, and hopefully a very good 2015!
